The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Thursday (10/23/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon joining with Mercury and Mars (3*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about you actively seeking to establish a flow of harmonious interaction with the people and the world around you. Within this context you are seeking to accomplish your goals, as well as exploring what is around you and spending time reflecting on what you are experiencing. There is a real need to understand the feelings of those around you as you seek to expand your understanding of the areas you are attracted to. For VA Students (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by working in a network where each person is contributing their part to making the whole work well. This is done in a natural evolution where each person develops and connects in in their own way at their own natural speed.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
3 (5*) You are needing to generate a flow of energy within and around you and can be very distressed if your efforts and experiences do not bring this sense of flow.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Mercury, Mars >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are joining with others moving into new territory and gaining new understandings, constructively using your aggressive energies in beneficial ways. You are opening up to the information and experience of another person about this exciting realm that you have discovered and testing out their ideas inside you as you’re seeking to learn how to use your new awareness effectively.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are taking advantage of those who are more vulnerable than yourself and engaging in mindless violence. You are feeling that someone else has all the answers, being vulnerable to manipulation by them or downplaying and not respecting the insights and inspirations of others, being too caught up in your own way of looking at things.

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}.
Oct 23 – Oct 25 (exact Oct 24) Mercury in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Cancer. This energy begins to influence us around 3 PM on Oct 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:08 AM on Oct 24 then it is decreasing fading out around 10 AM on Oct 25. This vibrational energy pattern brings a need to generate a flow of awareness that sees the big picture and how a wide range of things are connected and more meaningful as you see a broad perspective.
Oct 23 – Oct 25 (exact Oct 24) the Sun in Scorpio is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy begins to influence us around 10 AM on Oct 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:24 AM on Oct 24 then it is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on Oct 25. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong sense of your mission and purpose and a desire to take action expression you mission and purpose.
Aug 11 – Oct 27 (not exact) Uranus in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for the 2 ½ months. This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense need to be free and able to act spontaneously and genuinely. At this time you cannot tolerate a feeling of restriction and control.
Aug 2 – Dec 17 (exact Aug 28 and then Nov 20) Uranus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Dec 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a high level of sensitivity to the energy flows around you even if you can’t really describe what you are feeling. This sensitivity can result in sometimes unexplainable reactions to things that happen around 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 4:55 AM, peaking at 6:55 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is joining with Mars in Scorpio. 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.
Starting at 8:57 AM, peaking at 10:57 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is joining with Mercury in Scorpio. The emotions and moods and mental patterns are working together. This is a time when you are very effective in doing projects.
Starting at 11:18 AM, peaking at 1:18 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Cancer. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.
Starting at 2:38 PM, peaking at 4:38 PM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period stimulates an internal awareness of the patterns that are working for your long term benefit and those that are undermining your goals. It is easier to shift at this time to a more effective pattern that supports your goals.
Starting at 10:14 PM, peaking at 12:14 AM, early October 23, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
Starting at 11:27 PM, peaking at 1:27 AM, early October 23, the Moon in Sagittarius is opposing Uranus in Gemini. You may be feeling pretty independent right now and more touchy about other people being in control of what you are doing. You will have a tendency to react. Right now you want to do what you feel like doing right this moment and you don’t want to worry about what other people feel about it. Remember other people are feeling the same way and give them the same space that you are needing at the moment.
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 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a strong emotional need to develop a greater awareness of the beauty of the connections we all have to each other and how to share gentle energy with each other. There is a growing awareness that we are impacted internally by the way we relate to others. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Humanity seeking to bridge the Span of Knowledge”. This is about are reaching out to span the generations, being open to the transfer of knowledge from others and seeking to transfer your knowledge to others. There is a warning here about keeping your knowledge as a secret and refusing to share with others for the good of all.
On September 22, the Sun entered Libra. This is the Fall Equinox. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern shows the potential for either deception and betrayal or increased spiritual awareness. There is an underlying awareness of the importance of personal growth and development and a need to have this expressed more effectively in your culture. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon distance is “The President of the Country” which has to do with you claiming the authority of your position and accepting responsibility to act in ways that benefit all. There is danger of distortion if you are focusing on a sense of privilege, power and personal aggrandizement.
On September 21, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Moon and Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on February 17, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an evaluation of emotional patterns and responses seeking to separate deception and betrayal from the seeking of deep spiritual truth. If you listen clearly in your heart you will know which is which. This is a time for people to focus inside themselves and explore the deeper aspects inside seeking to get past any barriers that keep you from connecting into your unique self and your gifts. You are encouraged to project the current patterns into the future and see what will bring the best results for everybody involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service”. This is about the importance of totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. There is danger in you being pulled away from critical tasks, responding to outside interruptions and losing your sense of yourself and your ability to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On September 7, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on March 3, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern encourages us to see beyond our emotional reactions to the truth of this moment that we must learn to embrace that which we have previously excluded. We are challenged to adjust our visions of the future to see more clearly the possibilities for sudden insights into the deep archaic patterns that are holding us back from realizing our dreams. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Orangutan” which involves sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within you and recognizing the need to refine and guide those forces into more mature expression. It is dangerous in this energy pattern to take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Flow of Inspiration” which brings the potential for you to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, If you close up and get caught in a cycle of negativity you will find your perceptions limited which will shut you off from others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period for Mercury, Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune, 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 “!!!”}
