The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today, Thursday (7/3/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Saturn and Neptune (1*). This energy is about reevaluating what you are seeking to accomplish and your motives for taking action. You may spend quite a bit of time figuring out what you really want to do.  How can you express yourself authentically? This may well involve needing to make decisions about things that have not happened yet where you have to make decisions with incomplete information.  After studying what you can find out, you will need to use your intuition to select the path you will actually take. You are willing to do whatever is needed to accomplish your goals as you seek to get to the fundamental essence of what has long-term consequences. For VA Students (16, 32, 23)

This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by being flexible and open to change and adjustment, even to the point of actually shifting into a totally new mode of operation.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Saturn, Neptune >>

The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way throughYou are looking at all sides of the issue, reaching beyond the shadows of illusion and appearance into the true and sometimes conflicting motives and patterns in operation. You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint.  You are connecting into your cultural inheritance letting it shape you, recognizing that this enables you to effectively express yourself within the context of the world around you.

The more dysfunctional expression of this messageYou are being confused and split into pieces by the differences that you perceive as you see both sides of an issue and yet refuse to accept the paradoxes involved in forming an integrated pattern. You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously.  You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

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}.

Jul 3 – Jul 5 (exact Jul 4) Venus in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. This energy begins to influence us around 11 AM on Jul 3 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:45 AM on Jul 4 then it is decreasing fading out around  7 AM on Jul 5. This vibrational energy pattern is about what you are attracted to right now in this moment.  There is a lot of excitement here and this is a good time to go out dancing or listen to music.

Jun 30 – Oct 6 (not exact) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for more than three months. Here we have a passion for new and exciting dreams and visions that will involve people forming broad networks of connection with each other.  There is the potential here for the visions of one to inspire the many.

Jun  9 – Aug 23 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt a lot over this summer. Here we have the potential for new spiritual understandings to begin to emerge. This can also bring deception and fraud. Each person has to decide whether to be open to the amazing energies starting to reach into our consciousness or to be caught up in what they want to believe is true and deceiving themselves and others.

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.}

The Moon is not involved in any of the two planet patterns today.

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 July 2, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Cancer, This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on July 10, 2025.This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about choosing whether the actions you take will be inclusive or whether you will exclude whole groups of people from your calculations. There will be serious consequences if you decide to exclude others, as if they are not important. There is a call for open inclusive interactions that acknowledge the worth and value of each person. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Chinese Woman nursing a Baby with a Message”. This is about opening up to the flow of nourishment coming into you from an unexpected source and realizing that this nourishment is feeding the true essence of yourself and helping you to understand more clearly who you really are. The Symbol for the Moon is “Miners emerging from a Mine”. Here we have the opportunity to bring our internal transformational work up to consciousness where we can integrate it into our lives and experience healing as we adjust to new situations and patterns.

On June 25, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 24, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern involves a strong drive to act and do something new. There is an emotional need to take big actions that will express your dreams and visions.  How effective your action will be will be related to how well you are tuned into the patterns operating on deeper levels, patterns that transcend the confusion and fog of our fantasies and rise into a pure sense of a deeper truth. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Automobile Wrecked by a Train”. Here you are challenged to set aside your feelings and pay attention to what is really going on around you. This lets you see the dangers and move into safer places. If you are distracted by your feelings, not paying attention, and not observing what is going on around you, you may not realize the dangerous place you are in which could result in you having a serious accident.

On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern lays out adjustments we are challenged to make in our lives as we each learn to tune into our own unique awareness of how life needs to be lived to work well for us and others.  The first adjustment is to learn to take action based on our discrimination of truth vs deception. Secondly there is a challenge to learn when one must act and be willing to do that. Finally we are challenged to learn how to take really big actions that move us into a different level of interaction with the world around us.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Summer Solstice is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about each of us recognizing that there is an ancient foundational pattern in the core of your being that is manifesting through you and that this foundational pattern supports the unfolding of the natural beauty and delightful rightness that you carry within you.  This is your time to embrace and celebrate this pattern surging up through you.

On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon Solar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about 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. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.

On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is An Inhabited Island” which is about you 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. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mercury, Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Venus, Uranus {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 “!!!”}
