The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
 
Today, Tuesday (8/13/19), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Venus joining with Saturn (6*).  The focus of the vibrations today changes to an attraction to that which is long-lasting, that which has the type of deep meaning that lasts beyond death, that which is the structural foundation of all that we do. There is a very strong creative focus to the energies today.  You may well find that you get some type of new understanding of what is really important in life and that you are able to create things that are of long lasting significance.  There is a special emphasis on art and other forms of new creations.  Be attuned to what you feel led to do today paying attention to a deep kind of knowing than reason and logic.  There is an inherent move beyond the limitations of logic today into intuition and a kind of inner knowing.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
20 (5*) Evolving Non-linear Creative or Playful Action
19 (2*) Mentally focused and objective analysis of patterns, philosophies and cultures to find and act on effective ways of functioning
10 (2*) Evolving non-linear playful and creative interactions

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 17 (exact Aug 14) the Sun in Leo is joining with Venus in Leo. This vibe begins to be felt around noon and it increases in influence until it peaks at 2:07 AM on August 14.  This pattern will influence us until the next Venus Star point on June 3, 2020.  This is a very important pattern that occurs once about every 9 or 10 months. This has been called on point of the Venus Star.  Venus traces a five pointed star in the sky.  This point is about opening up to beauty and love both within us and around us.  This Leo Venus Star especially focuses on the individual uniqueness of each of us and how precious and beautiful each human beings spirit is at core.  Venus challenges us to open up to and embrace the beauty in ourselves and others. The Sabian Symbol for this meeting of the Sun and Venus is “A Carrier Pigeon”.  It encourages us to open up and listen, to respond to our inner guidance, aligning with the flow and unfolding of our paths through life.  If you fail to pay heed to the messages spirit is bringing you, you may gel lost, losing your direction forward.

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.}

At 11:35 AM the Moon enters Aquarius and becomes focused for the next 2 ½ days on participating in group processes.  We are all a part of many groups including our family, our friends, our community, our country and our world.  The Moon in Aquarius finds satisfaction in being a part of its groups and contributing to the functioning and well being of those groups.

Starting at 2:33 PM, peaking at 4:33 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is opposing Mercury in Leo. This 4 hr period brings the mind and the emotions into interaction with each other.  This is a good time for working on the balance between your mind and your feelings recognizing that each of them has important awarenesses to be honored.
Starting at 10:47 PM, peaking at 12:47 AM right after midnight, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is high energy and electrical feeling.  There is a sense of spontaneity and impulsiveness.  If this is your sleep time you may find yourself wired up having difficulty sleeping.

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 First Quarter Moon was on August 7 with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Leo. This will influence us until the Full Moon on August 15. The focus here is on taking actions that will bring peace in our selves and peace in the world around us.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Pageant”. It involves being really yourself participating in life with joy, having fun at the same time. The Moon Symbol is “Children playing around five mounds of sand”.  This is about discovering more of who you are.  The warning is that you may tend to discount yourself or you may be taking things too seriously and brooding over slights and disappointments.  You are challenged to open yourself up to discovering additional faces of who you are.
 
The New Moon was on July 31 with the Moon and Sun together in Leo. This will influence our experiences until the next New Moon on August 30. This New Moon has some really beautiful sweet energies with Venus joining the Sun and Moon.  There is also an element of unpredictability in the energies with insights potentially bursting forth from within you giving you new insights into how everything is connected to everything else at the same time you see the unique individuality of each of us, appreciating what characters we all all.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “Glass Blowers”. This involves recognizing that the shaping of new patterns and realities requires the controlled use of your energy with extreme care and attention to detail; releasing any fears that your creation may not last.  There is a warning about failing to pay attention to details and thus acting carelessly as this can result in distortions and flawed creations.

This Eclipse Cycle began on July 2 and lasts until December 26.  This period is about evaluation and consideration of the meaning of your life and your actions and how you want the rest of your life to go. There is a calling for you to open up to a greater awareness and learn to assume responsibility for using that awareness wisely with humility while operating fairly and being real and genuine. This is done by stepping back and getting the objectivity that will enable you to move more effectively towards your dreams recognizing that sometimes the reactions of others to you come from their problems and issues rather than from your actions.  This is about acting from your true self rather than using a façade to cover up who you really are.

The Sun officially entered Cancer and Summer began on June 21.  This is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year.  This seasonal pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 23.  The strong vibrations for this summer emphasize a sensitivity to the stories of those around us and a recognition of our responsibility for those in our communities who have more problems than we do.  The base Sabian Symbol for Summer is “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” which shows that Summer is a time for seeing more clearly who you really are.  This can result in making a commitment to a new orientation or cause and giving up your old ways.  If you do not connect in with the deep core of yourself you may feel unstable and very moody.  The reaction we have to the challenges of this season is shown by the symbol “A big white dove, a message bearer”.  This is about learning to solve your issues by receiving gentle messages from outside or inside yourself as you are opening to the spirit and becoming more clearly connected into your core.  If you do not open up to these messages you may find yourself caught in a cycle of doubt and depression believing things will never improve.
 
The Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today:    DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury
Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Saturn, Pluto: Turning Forward of Jupiter: Final Resolution of Mercury
{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.}
