The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The strongest vibrational influence today (5/16/19) comes from the Mercury and Mars joining with Saturn (2*). This vibe focuses our minds on the goals we have for our communities. There is a special concern about having peaceful communities that support us and where everyone is taken care of and doing well. This is combined with a need for peaceful interactions with others. This involves a lot of hard work and this vibe is focused on doing the hardwork necessary to create more peaceful loving communities. Today is a day when there may be opportunities to move in this direction.

9 (2*) Union with others in a community, focus on the needs of the community
The Dancing 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 first, followed by the Moods of the Moon}
May 16 – May 17 (exact May 16) Mercury in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe begins to be felt at about 9 AM and is increasing until it peaks at 7:09 PM. This involves a lot of thought and discussion with others about what is really important and what are the long-term consequences of our current actions
May 15 – May 16 (exact May 15) Mercury in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing today and fades out about 9 AM. This vibe is focused on thinking about your dreams and sharing them with those that will understand and relate to your dreams. Have a notebook available so you can write down any new thoughts you have, ideas that may help you understand your dreams better or better bring them to life.
May 12 – May 16 (exact May 14) Venus in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is decreasing and fades out at about 4 AM. The focus here is on what is coming into your life and how you can act in ways that make your life more beautiful, more loving and more attractive. This can related to any hands on way that you go about improving your world, making something beautiful, sharing with a loved one, gardening and maybe growing your own herbs, walking in the rain, whatever calls to you, enjoy!
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
At 5:26 PM the Moon enters Scorpio For the next 2 ½ days the Moon in Scorpio can tend to get very emotionally intense. The desire is to merge with the people you are involved with and with the projects you are working on. This can be uncomfortable for those not used to it as you can feel like you are being swallowed up. If it gets too much, just step back for a couple of minutes and take a breath, or even take a walk around the block to help you temporarily disconnect.
Starting at 11:00 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:00 AM after midnight, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This 4 hr period has you reexamining your feelings to see which ones are going to last a long time and which ones are just passing through and will disappear. This is about what will still matter in 5 years or 20 years. Saturn encourages you to let the others go.
Starting at 2:39 AM, peaking at 4:39 AM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period brings expansive optimistic emotional feelings that are not always realistic.
Starting at 3:37 AM, peaking at 5:37 AM, the Moon in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period digs deep into the self and brings old emotional patterns to the surface where you are likely to over-react in a current situation because your feelings are rising from old unfinished business.
Starting at 4:18 PM, peaking at 6:18 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Cancer. This 4 hr period is very energized and you need to go out and do something constructive with that energy, sports, exercise or some type of physical project.
Starting at 6:47 PM, peaking at 8:47 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is opposing Venus in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a sense of shared beauty that can be very pleasant. This is a good time to get together with friends.
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 11 the First Quarter Moon phase began with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Taurus. This moon phase brings a focus on what is long-lasting and meaningful after our deaths. This is combined with a very creative focus, so we may find some kind of new unexpected ideas or perspectives surfacing this week. The Sun’s Sabian Symbol is “White Dove over Troubled Waters” which helps us move beyond our emotions and fears to see a broader perspective on our lives. The Moon Symbol is “A Carrier Pigeon” which reminds you to open up to and listen to your inner guidance and align with the flow and unfolding of your path through life. The challenge is to not get sucked into emotional reactions and to not blind yourself to the messages that are coming to you.
The New Moon was on May 4 with the Sun and Moon together in Taurus. This cycle will influence us until the next New Moon on June 3. The vibe in this new moon is oriented towards deep analysis of the patterns around you evaluating what is stimulating the choices all of us are making. There is a sense of going down deep inside to figure out what you really think and believe. The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon is “A man muffled up with a rakish silk hat”. The challenge this symbol presents is whether you are going to use your awareness and your skills to take care of yourself presenting yourself in a real way or whether you are going to disguise yourself and pretend to be something you are not and put the responsibility for yourself and your actions on someone or something else.
On March 20 the Sun officially entered Aries and Spring began. This is the Spring Equinox when the days and nights are of equal length. We are moving into the Spring and Summer when the days will be longer than the nights. This Spring Equinox happens just 4 hours before the Full Moon. This would indicate that some important things are going to come to a head this Spring. There is a focus here on our dreams and whether or not they are moving into reality. Internal thought patterns that others may not expect are driving our actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A bald-headed man”. This spring people will be focused on whether the actions of those in control are based on concern for everyone involved or whether those in control are misusing their powers, not taking into account the concerns of the people affected.
The Eclipse pattern for the next 5 months focuses on how we use our power and whether our actions are sustainable. We are reminded that there are different perspectives on the truth and we need to reach down to a deeper level that brings a truer, clearer awareness. The dangers of an over inflated ego are especially focused with a reminder of the importance of stepping back for each situation and looking at what is really important. The next eclipse cycle will begin on July 2, 2019.
The Retrograde Diary:
Introductory Contact for Uranus: Turning Backward of Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter
{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.}
