The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
For the last four days and today, Thursday (02/09/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Saturn joining with Neptune and Pluto (0*). Today’s vibrational pattern is a continuation of the last four days and it brings a sense of the importance of the unique ways that each of us choose to operate in our lives. There are decisions that each of us make out of our particular perspective on life and our internal understandings. These decisions are different than another person would make. This is especially true in the process of seeking a spiritual understanding of ourselves and our lives. There is a deep need here to come to an understanding of the foundations of life and to become aware of what lasts past death and opens us up to the eternal realms of the spirit.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Saturn, Neptune, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are transforming your passions, letting go of inappropriate attachments, and teaching others how to do the same. You are truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. You are merging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self. You are beginning to read, with great clarity, the hidden level of reality, putting aside your skepticism, opening to your intuitive awareness, taking responsibility for your impact on everything around you. You are recognizing the splitting of the divine into many facets or rays of which you’re one, celebrating the beauty of the whole and the beauty of each part of the whole. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are rejecting and burying your emotional feelings, erecting a barrier of insensitivity, as you demand and seek to exhibit proper, rational behavior at all costs. You are putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you, focusing only on yourself and feeling alienated, deserted and alone. You are fearing to open up to new and different experiences when it is time to move into a new form, keeping yourself in protected seclusion and finding that something dies within you. You are superstitiously depending on signs around you and blindly following these signs, not taking responsibility for your life or your decisions. You are locking yourself into seeing everything from a particular perspective and missing the broad overview, tending to over-analyze everything and losing track of the essence in a study of the pieces.

Two-Planet Diary
{When 2 planets interact it influences the way we want to express ourselves, our attitudes, moods, and impulses. Becoming aware of these vibrations helps us to guide these aspects of ourselves with awareness rather than being controlled by them. There are longer patterns which tend to have more impact because we feel them for several days in a row and there are quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of couple of hours either side of the time given. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Feb 9 – Feb 11 (exact Feb 10) Mercury in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us at around 6:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 12:15 PM on Feb. 10, then decreasing and fading out around 6:30 AM on Feb. 11. This vibration brings intense perhaps obsessive thought patterns perhaps tied to deeply buried internal patterns. You are going to be able to focus really well. If you use this energy to focus on the things you especially need to accomplish, it can be very beneficial. There is a sense of stepping back, letting go of subjectivity and just observing what is happening. This gives a clear unbiased perception that can enable you to act very effectively. The challenge is to see what this relates to and to face the things in yourself that you need to be dealing with. You may well be confronted with something you need to change.
The Moods of the Moon
{The Moon patterns only last a short period of time. They impact our moods and feelings for around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 11:40 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:40 AM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period deep feelings within you that you have buried could affect your mood. Be aware that you may be reacting to the past rather than the present. Ask yourself if you have felt this way in the past and when and with whom. Be prepared to walk away from a situation if you get triggered.
At 3:46 AM, the Moon enters Libra. The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others. The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you. Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.
Starting at 5:02 PM, peaking at 7:02 PM, the Moon in Libra is opposing Jupiter in Aries. In this 4 hr period you will be feeling optimistic and expansive and wanting to expand your horizons by having new experiences and getting to know new people This is a really good time to be involved in social interactions with other people.
The Cyclic Patterns Diary {These are patterns that continue over an extended period of time and you may find that rereading this periodically will help you effectively handle what we are all experiencing as our “astral weather” in this time period.}
On February 5, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo opposing the Sun in Aquarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20. This vibrational energy is very focused in the moment. There is the potential for spontaneous impulsive action that can be brilliant or disasterous. Take special care when driving with this pattern. There is a focus in your community and you may find yourself more involved in your community than you have been. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A watchdog standing guard”. This is an opportunity to recognize the importance of being aware and alert at all times so that you can recognize the beliefs, attitudes or persons that may be acting to undermine or damage you while still living in a sense of the beauty of life and of other people. Try not to feel suspicious of everyone and everything around you. You may not realize how your own attitudes, beliefs and behaviors are creating the negative responses you’re getting from others. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A nonvested church choir”. Here there is an opportunity to begin to interact with others in a relaxed and open way, seeking to genuinely express yourself by forming harmonies that are blending your voices together beautifully. Make sure you are not retiring into the background, being afraid to interact because you do not believe in your own worth or being overly critical of others feeling threatened that you will lose your position in the group.
On January 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius joining with the Moon in Aquarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 20.This vibrational energy is related to being aware of how you are being affected by other people’s actions. It is important to tune into what others can tell you about their lives and you are going to act differently because of what you learn from others. You may feel a need to join together and seek a bettern answer for both of you. There is unusual opportunities for effective communication with this vibrational energy. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An unexpected thunderstorm”. This symbol is about experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality. Try not to lose control and explode emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Pluto: Resolution of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune {During the apparent retrograde period each planet’s movement relative to the backdrop of the stars slows down, reverses and then turns back around forward again concentrating its vibration in a particular area. There are issues that each planet focuses on during the period leading up to its turn backwards. These issues are addressed again to be reworked on during the retrograde period [in brackets] then a new understanding of these issues occurs during the post retrograde period. These issues are not from Vibrational Astrology, this is an experiment based on interpretations of the Sabian Symbols that I wrote many years ago. If an entry resonates with you, then claim it, if not, release it, it was for someone else. I would very much like your feedback on this. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
