The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Thursday (10/06/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Mercury and Venus joining with Jupiter (0*). There are two somewhat weak patterns today, either one of which you may find yourself attracted to. The featured vibrational pattern brings an awareness of the need for peace and nurturing in our communities. There is a need to look into and perhaps change the patterns where people are not receiving the support that they need to be functioning members of the community and live good, healthy lives. This involves stepping back and seeing the big picture and then communicating with others about it. The second vibration today is Saturn, Uranus, Pluto. This is operating to help you express yourself effectively in the world by examining the motives for what you are doing and revising your motives if they don’t lead to the goals you are seeking to realize. In this pattern it is especially important that you operate with honesty and integrity expressing what is truly you whether others approve or not. (For VA Students: 27 || 16)

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
27 (2*) Deep Need to bring peace and healing for the problems in your community

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Jupiter >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important. You are beginning to move beyond the dangers of ego domination and emotional rebellion and approach the safety of harmony within yourself but you still need to be very aware of possible regressions. You are modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed than you, learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others. 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 message: You are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you. You are being over-confident, believing that you have reached a place of safety and taking your safety for granted when dangers are still surrounding you. You are going through the motions without any understanding of the deeper significance and implications of your actions. You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

26 Virgo = Mercury [A boy with a censer] You are modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed than you, learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others and/or you are going through the motions without any understanding of the deeper significance and implications of your actions.

9 Libra = Venus interacting with Mercury [Three old masters hanging in an art gallery] You are recognizing that there are three different states of consciousness within you, the conscious level, all the processes below consciousness, and the level of greater spiritual awareness, and that all three levels are equally important and/or you are limiting yourself to the conscious awareness of your mind and ego and denying that there is anything else operating within you.

10 Libra = Venus interacting with Jupiter [A canoe approaching safety through dangerous waters] You are beginning to move beyond the dangers of ego domination and emotional rebellion and approach the safety of harmony within yourself but you still need to be very aware of possible regressions and/or you are being over-confident, believing that you have reached a place of safety and taking your safety for granted when dangers are still surrounding you.

3 Aries = Jupiter [A cameo profile of a man in the shape of his country] 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 and/or you are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}

Oct 5 – Oct 8 (exact Oct 6) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:55 PM, then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Oct 8. This vibration brings an intense focus on your mind and on developing ideas and concepts. You may even find yourself working extra long hours to develop or write down the ideas you are working on.

Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.

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.}

At 8:47AM, the Moon enters Pisces bringing a sense of the connections we all have with each other and with everything around us. A Pisces moon is very good at connecting things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this 2 ½ days to reach out and connect with those that you thought you could never establish a relationship with, right now it might work.

None of the two-planet patterns today include the Moon.

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 October 2, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us for a week until the Full Moon October 9. This vibrational pattern is about digging down in and tuning into your special gifts and helping others develop their special gifts. This is about developing a deeper understanding of who you and other people are. There is potential here for cutting to the really foundational aspects of who you are and the opportunity to open up to a greater spiritual awareness. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Canoe approaching safety through Dangerous Waters”. This is an opportunity to move into harmony within yourself if you can transcend the ego’s need to domination and the emotional feelings of rebellion within you. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Albatross feeding from the Hand”. Here there is an opportunity to recognize that you and all creatures have a common linkage. This may help you redefine and nurture some of the disturbed aspects within you.

On September 25, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.

On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.

On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.

On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.

The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Mars >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Neptune: Turning forward of Mercury, Saturn, Pluto {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 “!”}
