The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Thursday (05/25/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Mars (1*). This vibrational pattern is about working on tuning into the deep true essence of who you are. There is a recognition that each person has a unique characteristic to their essential essence, like a personal truth. You seek this in yourself and encourage and support others as they seek this deep understanding of themselves. This involves seeing how the past is affecting the present, recognizing the beauty of the deep soul pattern within you and learning how to act from this truth within you. (For VA Students: 26)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are using ritual to bond in a permanent equal exchange with this new world even though you know you still have a lot to learn. You are cutting back on the excesses of ego display, finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. You are opening up to impersonal unknown beings who provide you with healing of your internal pain and suffering; including healing the wounds you receive seeking to reconnect with the universal. You are celebrating the awesome experience of interacting within yourself on a new level where you connect in with the beautiful jewel of your essence in love and affirmation.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to conform to social expectations, using ritual as a superficial form of appeasement. You are creating an illusion that is not really you so that you can be accepted by others. You are focusing on your wounds, your feelings of being abused and used and on the unfairness of it all; rejecting the healing that is being offered. You are flattering another, saying whatever you think they need to hear in order to get them to do what you want them to do.

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 25 – May 27 (exact May 26) Venus in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 3 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:37 AM on May 26 then decreasing fading out around 5 AM on May 27. This vibration is about sudden responses in the moment to feelings of beauty and the love we feel for that which is beautiful to us. This can be an impulsive expression about feelings for another person. It can also be sudden feelings of beauty that are bursting forth in the moment. Sometimes this involves intense feelings of attraction but they may only last for a short time.
May 20 – May 25 (exact May 23) Mars in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 9 PM on May 25. This vibration makes it easier to take large scale actions that express your unique individuality and character. There is a sense of growing in natural ways that just feel right for 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 4:11 AM, peaking at 6:11 AM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Taurus. This 4 hr period involves your emotions and moods stimulating your mind and results in you needing to balance your mind and emotions in order to act in clear constructive ways. It is important for you to pay attention to your feelings and your thoughts on whatever is happening now and remember to think before you act.
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 19 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on June 18. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of restless dissatisfaction as you seek to figure out what are the foundational patterns you are dealing with. Thus you find yourself reaching out seeking to discover something that you may have missed in your previous evaluation. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Two Cobblers working at a Table”. This challenges you to explore different points of view and not hold onto one point of view considering it to be the only way to understand the pattern you are working on.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes our connection with ourselves and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever we are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded, limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun enters Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This is the balancing point of the year when the days and nights are of equal length. This year’s Spring Equinox brings a strong feeling of needing to have your ideas be exceptional and amazing. The vibration for Spring is deeply involved in sharing other people’s stories and there is a tendency to act based on the things you have learned from others to seek to make the lives of those around you better. The Sabian Symbol for the distance from the Sun to the Moon is “A master instructing his pupil. This is about participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, being open to receiving deep insights from unexpected places. This energy becomes distorted if you claim a superior status and special privileges based on your position. This is about recognizing the worth and authority of each person.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury {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 “!”}
