The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
The strongest vibration we will feel today (9/6/18) and tomorrow comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Uranus (3*). Your mind is going to be very active today. You may find your thoughts tending to dart all over the place responding to the associations of each moment. At the same time your mind has a strong need to be focused and analytical today. Try to combine the two together. Work on being focused but open to new ideas and implications that you may suddenly see in the moment. If you seem to be unfocused and having a lot of ideas come up, ask yourself if there is a common theme or core to the thoughts you are having that you can focus on. There is a potential for great creativity both today and tomorrow when this vibration is strongest if you can work on keeping your spontaneity focused and your focused thought open to spontaneity.

The Dancing 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}
Sept. 6 – Sept. 8 (exact Sept. 7) The Sun in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces starting at about 3 PM today and increasing in influence until it peaks tomorrow. It brings an alignment with your dreams and ideals into focus with you desiring to experience your dreams in your life.
Sept. 6 – Sept. 17 (exact Sept. 12) Jupiter in Scorpio is sharing with Pluto in Capricorn. We begin to feel this about 2 AM and it will be increasing in strength until it peaks on Sept. 12. This vibration brings a strong need to grow and expand and may help you tap into old patterns, attitudes and assumptions that have been interfering with your life.
Sept. 6 – Sept. 7 (exact Sept. 7) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus starting at around 3 PM. This brings a strong desire for freedom, especially mentally. The mind may tend to be scattered as it spontaneously move from one subject to another with no apparent relationship. There is potential creativity here as you realize the connections between things that you have not seen before.
Sept. 6 – Sept. 7 (exact Sept. 7) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Capricorn starting at about 8 PM. The mind here is oriented toward figuring out what is meaningful, purposeful and long-lasting. The mind tends to discard anything that does not have long term significance. The combination of this with Uranus brings an emphasis on flexibility, allowing spontaneous associations as you connect with meaning and purpose and when you are being spontaneous, still being aware enough to recognize what is significant.
Aug. 1 – Sept. 21 (not exact) Saturn in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This pattern is very similar to the longer Uranus and Pluto pattern above. It reached its closest point of interaction on Aug. 27. This vibration is both focused long-term on what really lasts and spontaneous and impulsive in the moment at the same time. Since these two needs are contradictory, you get things like suddenly eliminating things from your life that you don’t think are meaningful in the long run. It is important to find ways to honor both your long-term interests and the need to be spontaneous in the moment. Recognize that both these needs are important and that they are present at the same time and that you need to make space in your life for both. Especially provide periods of time when you can be spontaneous and you will handle this better.
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This pattern is increasing in strength until Sept. 26 calling for focused or disciplined spontaneity. You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous. This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you. Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy. Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts. Also, a massage might help release built up tension.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
In the window of 2 hours around 6:20 AM the Moon is joining with Venus in Libra to take action (square). This is a time to tune in to your feelings and express the love you feel for those who are important to you or maybe pick up a gift that will mean something to them. Around 8:43 AM the Cancer Moon is opposing Mars in Capricorn calling you to interact with others actively, perhaps some sports or some other form of active energetic interaction. At 9:54 AM the Moon enter Leo bringing a desire over the next two and a half days to express yourself as an individual and a real appreciation of the many unique individuals you encounter around you in the world. This is a great time to tell people what you appreciate about them that makes them unique to you. Finally at 1:30 PM the Moon joins Uranus in taking action. There is a lot of spontaneity in the air and a desire to do something spontaneous and unplanned. If you can give yourself some time to just do what you feel like now it will be delightful. In any case keep a little of yourself back, being sure that you are being careful as well as spontaneous.
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.}
The third quarter Moon was on September 2 and its influence lasts until the new moon on September 9. The third quarter moon brings a time of resolution and letting go in preparation for the New Moon coming up. The guidance for this week is to look at yourself clearly and realistically and deal with your internal issues as you move towards a sense of all the many ways others have influenced you. Test those influences and see which ones help you be more who you truly are and let go of the ones that interfere with your growth and expression of yourself. Love yourself for the beautiful soul that you are as you deal with all the twists and turns of life striving to grow and learn.
The Full Moon was on August 26 and will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 9. The issue in this two week period is Freedom to act spontaneously as you feel like vs. Responsibility for the results of your actions. There is a challenge to truly be yourself and to know and express that which is real and meaningful. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A black child playing with white children”. This calls us to have understanding for others who are different from us and to be open to making the internal adjustments needed to recognize the importance of patterns different from your own. The Moon Symbol “Heavy traffic on a narrow isthmus” reminds us that reaching such understanding requires facing the blockages within us and finding the narrow channels that are there that lead to a greater understanding.
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11. {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019. The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment. Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger. You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today. This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you. Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
The Summer Solstice was on June 21 and this energy pattern will be influencing us until September 22 when the Fall Equinox occurs. The Summer Solstice is when the Sun enters Cancer and the Summer officially begins. With the temperatures we have been seeing a lot of places, it looks like the Summer has gotten off to a running start. This summer there is a strong emphasis on taking action that will benefit the community and bring peace and healing. People will not be willing to sacrifice their sense of what is right and ultimately meaningful but they will value operating in peaceful cooperative ways to achieve their goals. In the midst of all this it is important for each of us to take some time out to just be in the moment and relax and play in a creative way.
The Retrograde Diary
(Uranus) turning backwards, (Neptune, Pluto) in Retrograde, (Saturn) turning forward, (Mars, Jupiter) in Final Resolution
{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.}

Sept. 4 – 10: (29-30 Cap) Resolution: Remember to reach a level of expertise where you operate from true authority and are participating in and managing the hidden realities of the world, learning to stop failing to claim your true authority and blocking yourself off from awareness of the deeper realities around you

Sept. 6 – 13: (18-19 Sco) Resolution: Remember to listen to the internal universal connection within you and repeat what you hear seeking to understand what it truly means, learning to stop refusing to listen and clearly hear what is going on around you and within you, distorting it based on preconceptions and prejudices

Aug. 2 – Sept. 10: (16-15 Pis) Reworking: Working on being able to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration within yourself being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced, learning to stop closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from others

Aug. 29 – Nov. 1: (19-18 Cap) Turning Forward: The Challenge is to reach a level of awareness where you can bring the gifts of the spirit into reality even though you are not mature enough to effectively manage them all, learning to stop getting overloaded by all the expectations of yourself that you and others have
