The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Thursday (5/14/2026), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Pluto (2*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about exploring the world around you interacting with the things you are interested in seeking to find new ways to connect ideas and concepts and sometimes objects together, finding ways to change people’s understanding of your focus area and taking action to meet your goals in harmony with others. You are likely to find you are especially focused on some idea that you are seeking to work out at this time. For VA Students (10, 20, 30)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by you making connections that are not obvious seeing the underlying oneness that joins everything as you are developing your project and bringing it to completion

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mercury, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing your failures and the damage your blindness has done to others, facing it in this current moment; accepting responsibility for the damage you have done and seeking to make amends. You are recognizing that you’re a part of the mystery, the spiritual drama of life, humbly understanding that this life’s experiences are just the part that was assigned for you to do.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in your sense of pride and aggressively claiming what you desire without any concern for the effect your behavior has on others. You are claiming special privilege and prestige because of the special awareness and talents that you have developed, feeling that you are more important and perhaps more evolved than the people around you.

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
May 13 – May 15 (exact May 14) the Sun in Taurus is joining with Mercury in Taurus. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:24 AM on May 14 then it is decreasing fading out around 6 AM on May 15. This vibrational energy pattern brings a new insight into the concepts joining your world together. Some new or revised ideas are likely to surface that will help you to expand your thinking over approximately the next three months.
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 5:41 AM, peaking at 7:41 AM, the Moon in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Cancer. In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
Starting at 12:07 PM, peaking at 2:07 PM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Gemini. 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.
Starting at 3:32 PM, peaking at 5:32 PM, the Moon in Aries is joining with Mars in Aries. In this 4 hr period when the Moon and Mars join together the emotions get a lot of energy and there is a desire to go out and take action. If something blocks that action there may be feelings of anger.
At 10:31 PM the Moon enters Taurus and for the next 2 ½ days you feel more like you are working with the world around you with everything evolving in its own way. There is a lot more patience here and a sense of life unfolding as it should with a sense that you and everything around you change in the ways that are natural and proper.
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 May 9, the Third Quarter Moon Phase was reached with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 16, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern involves facing our dreams and visions and whether they are manifesting. There is the potential here for vague foggy difficulty in focusing and connecting in with what is actually happening. If you stay with it and are patient this will clear up in a few days with the New Moon. This is not a good time to be making long-term life changing decisions. Wait until after the New Moon. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Wind, Clouds and Haste”. This is about opening up to experience the movements and fluctuations of energy within you learning where the energy flows freely and where there is damage or blockage that interferes with the energy flow. The Symbol for the Moon is “A big white Dove, a Message Bearer” which is about opening of to receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you’re opening yourself to a deeper level of interaction with spirit and becoming clearer.
On May 1, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 16, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings you to an internal reevaluation of your goals and your drives. You are looking at the reasons you make your decisions and seeing whether you are ending up with the results you want. There is a potential here for expansion through reorganizing your personal drives. You find yourself exploring the world around you and taking action to change the experiences you and those around you are having. This is combined with a strong need to support your society and what it could potentially be. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Window-Shoppers” which shows you opening to a growing awareness of all the opportunities and possibilities available to you. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Embassy Ball” which is about you recognizing your worth and the worth of others, being able to make connections and relate to others based on everyone putting their best foot forward and following good manners and established codes of behavior. The dark side of this is about feeling inadequate and discouraged by the impossibility of getting what you desire and feeling that you don’t fit in and are out of your depth being unable to follow good manners and established codes of behavior.
On April 17, the New Moon occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aries. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 16, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern focuses on the need to include the elements of society that are normally excluded from the equation. This is a call for radical inclusion in this moment of the things that are being ignored, denied or swept under the rug. This pattern is joined to the New Moon which makes it a central focus. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Large Disappointed Audience”. This is about being confronted with the results of your lack of awareness, personal preoccupation and blindness that have disappointed and hurt others and yourself, facing your failings and engaging in the self-evaluation that will enable you to grow and change. If you hold onto old ego patterns and only see your own point of view, you will likely become angry with others for not going along with your personal preoccupations and agenda.
On March 20, the Spring/Fall Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us at least until the Summer/Winter Solstice on June 21, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is especially focused on finding ways to share your sense of life with other people. There is a strong desire to support good positive connections to society and to seek to communicate your sense of how to live in society in a way that works for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Spring Equinox is “A Pugilist entering the Ring” which is about having a strong sense of yourself as a person who is willing to stand up for yourself and fight for what you know and believe in no matter what the opposition. If you fail to effectively defend your point of view you will have to deal with the consequences.
On March 3, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse, on August 28, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about stepping back and seeing the big picture. There may be a lot of emotional activity connected with this eclipse. There is also the potential for exceptional communication that can be very effective. This pattern shows that there is a potential to act out of your personal concepts without taking other people into account. There are hidden things going on that have the potential to be revealed and cause a big shift in understanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sword in a Museum”. This presents a choice. You can lay aside the use of force to gain your ends and embrace love and peace, both within yourself and in your interactions with others. Or you can hold grudges and be ready to fight others at any sign of opposition. Or you can give up in defeat and feel worthless and useless. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Strong Hand supplanting Political Hysteria”. Here the power of your personality and your spiritual awareness is acting to calm the situation down. Alternatively, you are being too timid and afraid to take action, losing the opportunity to gain control; or using your power and energy to manipulate the reactions of others for your personal gain.
On February 17, the Solar Eclipse (a New Moon) occurred with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse, on August 12, 2026.This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a sudden unexpected change that surprises everyone. The energy is focused on internal evaluation of the patterns that you are seeing around you with you seeing what changes are needed to reestablish a flow within the social structure. There is the capacity here to take the actions that will bring about that change. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “Butterfly emerging from Chrysalis”. This speaks of emerging from a long period of suspended confinement within a transformative cocoon. You are discovering that you have experienced a complete metamorphosis of your personal self in this time period. The key is to open up to new and different experiences and not hold onto the old limited form.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Jupiter >> Introductory Period of Saturn, Neptune: Turning Backward of Pluto: Resolution of Jupiter, 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 “!!!”}
