The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*

Today, Thursday (9/30/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Jupiter (3*). Today’s vibrational pattern brings the need to seek expanded contacts and connections with others. There is concern for interacting with others in a caring harmonious way that involves sensitivity to the other people involved in the interaction. Part of today’s pattern may involve evaluating your personal needs to consider which ones are really important and how to effectively operate based on these needs in a way that also takes into account the needs of those around you. There is the potential here for important connections to be formed with others.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
8 (1*) Acting on Motivations & Drives
16 (1*) Internally driven Action

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Jupiter
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are experiencing the universal spirit of life and love burning within you, warming your essence without your conscious awareness of it. You are experiencing the metamorphosis of aspects of the ordinary reality around you into their wondrous, magical spiritual essence.  You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, finding new modes of self-expression.  You are recognizing that the three aspects of the body, mind, and spirit have the potential to be in accord; bringing an intuitive vision of wholeness.  You are learning to bring your insights and inspirations to a sharp focus, evaluating what is practical and effective and weighing your awareness against the thoughts and ideas of another influential person. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling closed out, lonely, and abandoned, completely blocking yourself off from your true essence. You are blocking transformation by holding onto a superficial view of reality based entirely on the concrete, physical world around you.  You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you.  You are focusing on arrogance and snobbery, emphasizing appearances and elite special position.  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.

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}

This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:31 PM  then decreasing fading out around 4 PM on Oct 1.

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 September 28, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer square the Sun in Libra. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6. This vibe both embraces the need to accomplish things and the need for expanded social connections and understandings. There is a focus on the importance and deep unique essence of each person and on the importance of listening to and understanding the experience of others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Woman feeding Chickens and protecting them from the hawks”. This is about nurturing and protective spiritual forces that embrace each of us. It points to the responsibility of each of us to nurture and protect those less aware and less developed than ourselves, helping them grow and then stepping back to give them space to truly become who they are. The Moon Symbols is “Two Fairies on a Moonlit Night” which brings awareness of the hidden natural forces operating around us as we shift our vision to see what is normally invisible. There is a potential here for experiencing and participating with unseen forces that can bring a strong sense of fulfillment.

The Fall Equinox occurred on September 22 as the Sun entered Libra with the Moon in Aries. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This vibrational pattern has a strong emphasis on the way the past is affecting us. There is the potential to get a broader understanding of how we are being influenced by the past and the potential for sudden insights and shifts to occur. There is a need to reconcile the past with the present and to face the way we have been being influenced by past patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “The Gate to the Garden of Desire” which is about getting up the courage to move into a new state even though you don’t know what dangers and revelations you may have to face. There is a danger in withdrawing that you will never be able to reach your dreams.

On September 20, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Pisces opposing the Sun in Virgo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6. Venus and Uranus are interacting with the Full Moon bringing the potential for you to encounter sudden beauty that really resonates with you. There is a sense of the beauty and importance and uniqueness of every person and the need to make a world where people are responsible and respected and cared for when they experience excessive difficultly. There is also a sense that we can’t know all the answers and there is a mystery that is operating in the midst of all this. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Man gaining Secret Knowledge from a Paper he is reading”. This shows the potential for achieving a new level of awareness through studying secret or hidden information. The Moon Symbol is “A Prism” which shows the splitting of the divine into many facets, one for each of us and helps us to celebrate the beauty of the whole and the beauty of the many parts of the whole.

On September 6 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining in Virgo. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 6, 2021. There is a strong need in this vibration to be genuinely yourself and to follow your dreams. This is combined with a strong awareness of community and an awareness of your interactions in community. It is especially important in this vibration cycle to work harmoniously with others in a sensitive caring way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Ornamental Handkerchief” which reminds us that we carry the patterns of our history within us as talismans that can guide us to be more aware and sensitive helping us to be connected to our better impulses. You are challenged here to be who you genuinely are and warned about pretending to be something you are not.

On June 10 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This finishes the Eclipse Season and these patterns will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on November 19. This Solar Eclipse is especially working on our mental patterns. It brings a focus on the mind and how your dreams and visions of life are being reflected in your experience. It is about exploring the world and interacting with what is around you in playful and creative ways. There is the potential here for discovering new relationships and connections with the people and the environment around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Cafeteria” which focuses on the abundance of choices available to you in your world and your opportunity to select which of these choices is right for you, which will nourish you and your life. When you know what is right for you then you need to deliberately select it, pay for it and make it a part of your essence. It is important that you only take what you truly need, leaving the rest for others.

On May 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.

The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Backward of Uranus; Reworking of Mercury and Neptune: Turning Forward of Jupiter, 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.
