The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Thursday (5/2/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about figuring out whether you are accomplishing your goals and what may be keeping you from success. This is an important time to evaluate your motives and what is driving you. You may find that you are undermining yourself without realizing it. It is important here to figure out what is really essential and to expand your focus on the fundamental core figuring out what you really want to accomplish. What is really important to you? How can you expand your ability to work with the really core pattern you want to operate in. (For VA Students: 16, 32)
The Effective Expression of today’s energies is to focus on what you sense you need to do inside of you and explore all your options determining what you can get the most deeply involved in.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
32 (2*) Action plans formulated within yourself and then acted upon at the right moment.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to work in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness with the inherent wildness and chaos of life being tamed, or hidden and buried, creating an ordered natural space that everyone can safely share. You are entering into a process of transformative rebirth, experiencing renewed faith in life that is triumphing over doubt, fear and loss. You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, recognizing and accepting the consequences of your actions.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are remaining in isolation and being overwhelmed by the wildness within and around you. You are putting on a show, driven by a superficial craving for attention, pretending to joy while feeling lost and guilty and inadequate within yourself. You are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those around you.
25 Taurus = Jupiter [A large well-kept public park] You are learning to work in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness with the inherent wildness and chaos of life being tamed, or hidden and buried, creating an ordered natural space that everyone can safely share and/or you are remaining in isolation and being overwhelmed by the wildness within and around you
17 Pisces = Saturn [An Easter promenade] You are entering into a process of transformative rebirth, experiencing renewed faith in life that is triumphing over doubt, fear and loss and/or you are putting on a show, driven by a superficial craving for attention, pretending to joy while feeling lost and guilty and inadequate within yourself
3 Aquarius = Pluto [A deserter from the navy] You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, recognizing and accepting the consequences of your actions and/or you are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those 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 of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
May 1 – May 4 (exact May 3) Mars in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:06 AM on May 3 then decreasing fading out around 12 PM on May 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings and intense compulsive need to take action and accomplish the things that are important to you.
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 12:05 AM, peaking at 2:05 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
Starting at 3:28 AM, peaking at 5:28 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. 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 8:21 PM, peaking at 10:21 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Taurus. 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 May 1, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 7, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves a need for community and a recognition of whether you are comfortable and supported in the community(s) that you are in. This pattern brings the need to see if you can find a community that does work for you. There is an emphasis here on a community with a literary focus and a sense of reaching for what is fundamental, especially focusing on the values that last past death. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Window-Shoppers” which is opening to a growing awareness of all the opportunities and possibilities available to you. There is a warning here to not have your feelings of worth tied to whether you get what you desire. The Symbol for the Moon is “People on Stairs graduated upwards”. Here you are perceiving the many possible levels of awareness that human beings can experience and recognizing your place within that pattern. This involves appreciation of what you have learned and the awareness that you still have a lot to learn.
On April 23, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 7, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern involves tapping into deep buried patterns and taking actions that will enable you to release these patterns and build new patterns in their place. This release and transformation occurs as you are playing around with what you are finding inside you, exploring it with no particular agenda. There is spontaneous action that you take impulsively in the moment and this attunement helps to trigger a release and transformation of these energies. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Widow at an Open Grave” which is about recognizing that there is a greater life that transcends our experiences here in time and space and we are connected with our loved ones when they pass into that realm. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Massive, Rocky Shore” which relates to old established patterns that resist all attempts to change them. These deeply buried patterns may be able to be addressed with love and compassion. This is about facing the things inside you that you have been inclined to hold onto even though they are causing you pain and personal harm. This is about letting go.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!!!”}
