The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
The Third Quarter Moon is at 12:45 PM with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus.
Today, Tuesday (8/11/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Pluto (0*). This vibration is about relating to community and interacting with other people in your community. There is an emphasis here on communication that is loving and caring and a sense of the importance of helping out other people in your community that need help. There is potential skill here in beautiful expression or you may just want to curl up with a book that is beautifully written and enjoy it as the work of art that it is. This is combined with the foundational Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto which stresses the need to grow and expand your awareness this year in a progressive step by step manner.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, and Pluto
The message from the featured planet positions is about you standing up for yourself and learning to clearly face the true issues in your life. Retreating from the world for a while and getting a deeper more effective communication with spirit will help. Then you are called on to attempt to express your awareness seizing the opportunities that are presented to you opening up and sharing with others. This results in you becoming aware of powerful forces moving around you and threatening your stability bringing the awareness that you must reorganize yourself and shift your perspective.
| 4 Cancer = Venus (with Pluto) |
| A cat arguing with a mouse |
| You are standing up for yourself, questioning the authority of those around you, facing obstacles and difficulties; recognizing discounting and denial of the real issues and rationalization of positions, being willing if necessary to retreat temporarily to a safe place and/or you are fighting and arguing just to prove your point of view without any concern for the type of damage you may be causing to yourself or to the people and places around you. This results in your becoming aware of powerful forces moving around you and threatening your stability bringing the awareness that you must reorganize yourself and shift your perspective. |
| 24 Capricorn = Pluto |
| A woman entering a convent |
| You are retreating from the world to form a deeper more effective connection to spirit, sacrificing your personal needs to be of service to others and/or you are neglecting yourself and hiding away, perhaps sacrificing yourself, in order to win sympathy from others, forgetting how to enjoy life |
| 14 Leo = Mercury (with Pluto) |
| The human soul awaiting opportunity for expression |
| You are attempting to express your awareness and waiting for the right opportunity, opening to messages around you, evaluating what is important and what is not and/or you are putting off acting over and over again, looking for the perfect opportunity, and in the process missing your chance to effectively express yourself |
| 15 Leo = Mercury (with Venus) |
| A pageant |
| You are participating in a pageant that completely reveals you, participating in the joy and the fun of the process, sharing with everyone around you and/or you are claiming to be the best in an exaggerated, unconvincing way as you put yourself out in front of everyone, stimulating disruptive behavior from those around you |
| 5 Cancer = Venus (with Mercury) |
| An automobile wrecked by a train |
| You are facing forces beyond yourself that threaten to plow over you and wreck your self-centeredness; challenging you to reorganize yourself and your perspective in order to be more effective and/or you are recklessly seeking to avoid or outrun the forces pursuing you, ending up in an accident, rather than facing and dealing with those forces |
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
9 (1*) Interaction with others in a community, focus on the needs of the community
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}
Aug 10 – Aug 16 (exact Aug 13) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:14 AM on August 13 then decreasing fading out around Midnight on August 15. This vibration brings an intense focus on action with potential for that action to be frustrated and blocked bringing potential anger and violence. The best way to deal with this is to disengage and distract yourself if your anger starts to build and work on accepting that you can’t do everything that you want to do.
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window of a
couple of hours either side of their peak time.}
Starting at 9:51 AM, peaking at 11:51 AM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is a time for social interaction and feelings of emotional expansiveness. This is a very enjoyable time.
At 12:45 PM, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Leo. This is the Third Quarter Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary below.
Starting at 12:32 PM, peaking at 2:32 PM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about tuning into your dreams and visions and not so much in touch with the reality around you. This is about getting clearer about your dreams and what you really want your life to become.
Starting at 6:03 PM, peaking at 8:03 PM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period allows you to connect into deep old patterns within you that may be influencing your current reactions in life in ways you do not want. This is about releasing those patterns or at least learning to not have them control you.
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 is at 12:45 PM with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Taurus. This vibration will be influencing you until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibration is very creative especially when you are working with others in creative projects. You need to take care that you expand in reasonable ways or the project may lose its focus and get out of balance. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The Zuni sun worshipers” which is about letting the fire of the divine shine through you more clearly connecting you into the universal awareness even during stress helping you to remember that all life is sacred. The Moon symbol is “Wind clouds and haste”. This is about recognizing that you are going through changes and opening yourself up to the flow of those changes.
On August 3 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibration is intensely spontaneous and attracted to finding new beautiful relationships. These may but are not necessarily romantic relationships. There is a strong need for freedom and a strong likelihood that you will react in this vibration. You may be prone to sense things intuitively and react to them without realizing initially what you are reacting to. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An evening lawn party” which is encouraging you to branch out into new places and expand your awareness. The Moon Symbol is “People on stairs graduated upwards”. This is about recognizing that there are many levels of awareness and seeing clearly what you have learned and that you still have a lot to learn.
On July 20 the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibrational pattern brings a sensitivity to what those around you are experiencing with a strong desire to take action that will lead to a better future for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Muse weighing twins”. This is about recognizing that you consider all the factors and collect as much information as you reasonably can and then you make an intuitive decision about which way to go. You are warned to not seek perfection, it will keep you from making a decision and doing what needs to be done.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Jupiter
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto: Resolution of Venus
{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.}
