The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today February 12, Mercury moves out of its shadows.
Today, Thursday (2/12/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about you being involved in exploration of the aspects of life that you are attracted to and reorganizing what you find. You may find new ideas rising up from within you that you explore and share with those around you. This can bring new understandings that make a difference to all of you. You look at what is really fundamental as well as at the glowing energy around everything you encounter seeing that there is more to life than just the mundane demands of living. For VA Students (10, 20)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by tuning into yourself and acting based on what you are interested in and what you sense you need to do. This is about starting something new and working with it letting it evolve in an organic way.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Neptune >>
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 transforming your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awareness. You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you.
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 being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awareness being ignored. You are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure.
24 Aquarius = Sun interacting with Saturn [A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience] You are transforming your passions, letting go of inappropriate attachments, and teaching others how to do the same and/or 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
25 Aquarius = Sun interacting with Neptune [A butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed] You are transforming your active assertive impulses, placing them at the service of a greater awareness, taking care to keep your emotions in balance, being guided by your intuitive awareness and/or you are being lopsided and out of balance with your emotions overwhelming your rational responses and your intuitive awareness being ignored
1 Aries = Saturn merging with Neptune [A woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her] You are opening up to the initial tentative pulse of creative energy within you, feeling it on a primal level of awareness, embracing it and allowing it to rise up in a flow within you and/or you are failing to open up to the tentative pulse of creation that you feel within you because of a lack of commitment to the process or being too weakly connected or being too fearful and insecure
The 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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Feb 7 – Mar 4 (exact Feb 20) Saturn in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:54 AM on Feb 20 then it is decreasing fading out around 1 PM on Mar 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings a seeking of the true essence and depths of your visions and dreams seeking to find out if those dreams are real or illusionary.
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 11:52 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:52 AM early February 12, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 12:28 PM, peaking at 2:28 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
At 2:44 PM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation occurs, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 1:43 PM, peaking at 3:43 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Aries. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
Starting at 7:23 PM, peaking at 9:23 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
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 9, the Third Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, the Solar Eclipse, on February 17, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about continuing to look at your areas of concern from many different angles and directions recognizing that there are forces at work that are larger than you yourself while at the same time realizing that what you do is critically important to the outcome. You are called to try any new approach that occurs to you seeing what will work best. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woman disappointed and disillusioned. This brings a growing awareness that you have been getting lost in the needs of others and not been true to yourself. You are called to refocus on the true expression of yourself and your potentials and not let yourself get swallowed up in disappointment and disillusionment. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Soldier derelict in duty” which is about releasing yourself from being trapped in rigid, intolerable patterns of duty and obligation that compromise your personal integrity.
On February 1, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, the Solar Eclipse, on February 17, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a clear awareness of the patterns unfolding in your community and country around you. You recognize where distortions have appeared and what you need to do to fix the problems and you are ready to join with others and do just that. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Train entering a Tunnel” which is about seeing more clearing and finding a shortcut through the obstacles around you. There is a dark tunnel that you can enter that will quickly guide you toward your destination. If you are afraid to venture into the dark and face the dangers there, you may choose the long way around. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Human Soul awaiting Opportunity for Expression” which is about opening to the messages around you evaluating what is important and what is not, waiting for the right opportunity to express yourself and display your character.
On January 18, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Capricorn. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, the Solar Eclipse, on February 17, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong need to create a flow of our personal experiences with a spiritual understanding of the world. There is a strong call here to join with others and be ready to respond in the moment. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman reading Tea Leaves” which is about opening up and seeing with great clarity the hidden level of reality where you are opening up to your intuitive awareness and taking responsibility for your impact of everything around you. If you operate blindly without taking responsibility for your life and your decisions, you are likely to have problems.
On December 21, the Sun enters Capricorn, the Winter Solstice. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Spring Equinox on March 20, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an awareness of natural beauty and a drive to contribute to it. This can be expressed either through deception and betrayal or by attuning to the highest spiritual awarenesses and transcending distorted ego patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon relationship at the Solstice is “A Sword in a Museum” which speaks to laying aside the use of force to gain your ends and embracing love and peace both within yourself and in your interactions with others. If you refuse to do this you are likely to get caught in a pattern where you are holding grudges and being ready to fight others at any sign of opposition or possibly giving up in defeat and feeling worthless and useless.
On September 21, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Moon and Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on February 17, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an evaluation of emotional patterns and responses seeking to separate deception and betrayal from the seeking of deep spiritual truth. If you listen clearly in your heart you will know which is which. This is a time for you to focus inside yourself and explore the deeper aspects inside seeking to get past any barriers that keep you from connecting into your unique self and your gifts. You are encouraged to project the current patterns into the future and see what will bring the best results for everybody involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service”.This is about the importance of totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. There is danger in you being pulled away from critical tasks, responding to outside interruptions and losing your sense of yourself and your ability to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On September 7, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on March 3, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern encourages us to see beyond our emotional reactions to the truth of this moment showing that we must learn to embrace that which we have previously excluded. We are challenged to adjust our visions of the future to see more clearly the possibilities for sudden insights into the deep archaic patterns that are holding us back from realizing our dreams. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Orangutan” which involves sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within you and recognizing the need to refine and guide those forces into more mature expression. It is dangerous in this energy pattern to take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Flow of Inspiration” which brings the potential for you to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, If you close up and get caught in a cycle of negativity you will find your perceptions limited which will shut you off from others.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury leaves its Shadow >> Introductory Period of Pluto: Reworking of Jupiter: Turning Forward of Uranus: Resolution of Saturn, 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 “!!!”}
