The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
For the last 6 days and today, Tuesday (8/17/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Saturn joining with Neptune and Pluto (1*). Today’s vibration is focused deep within us. This is more about internal mental work than anything out in the world although it is recommended that you share on a deep level with those who you can interact with on very deep levels. There is likely a flow here of insights, perhaps spontaneous insights that help you to tune into some awesome and really out there experiences. This is a time of inspiration, of following your dreams, of using your mind to build new and special structures that you can develop. Part of this involves internal evaluation of patterns to figure out what their strengths and weaknesses are. This is about figuring out how to express things in ways that are more beautiful, clear, and effective.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
25 (1*) Exceptionally Creative, Inventive or Playful, Potential for Creative Genius
17 (1*) Interest in other’s stories that inclines to many possible outcomes, such as involvement in theater, literature, counseling or personal performance.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Saturn, Neptune, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are remaining true to your sense of yourself and your personal integrity, even if it means losing the approval and adulation that you have been receiving from others. You are experiencing various sorts of spirits operating within the mundane world, evaluating them and their messages for authenticity and depth, sharing appropriate messages with others. You are experiencing an exceptional level of sensitiveness to subtle energies as you spontaneously open to delight and wonder, allowing you to make better contact with both the spiritual and elemental realms. You are doing whatever you need to do to retain your popular appeal, losing track of yourself and what truly represents you in the process. You are pretending to connect into other realms, putting on a performance, and making up messages in order to gain your own ends. You are being so lighthearted and irresponsible that you don’t take anything seriously or being so bogged down in work that you don’t get any form of release. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are doing whatever you need to do to retain your popular appeal, losing track of yourself and what truly represents you in the process. You are pretending to connect into other realms, putting on a performance, and making up messages in order to gain your own ends. You are being so lighthearted and irresponsible that you don’t take anything seriously or being so bogged down in work that you don’t get any form of release.

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}
The two planet interactions all include the Moon today. See below.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window
Starting at 11:18 AM, peaking at 1:18 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. Starting at 7:43 PM, peaking at 9:43 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings a need to act on your dreams to make them more real in your life.
Starting at 3:51 PM, peaking at 5:51 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Leo. This 4 hr period is emotionally balanced with an easy flow of emotional feeling. This is a good time to work with other people.
Starting at 7:43 PM, peaking at 9:43 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. There is a real desire to make new connections with other people. This is a good time for socializing.
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 August 15 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Scorpio. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on August 22. Neptune is more strongly featured on a base level showing that the focus this week is on your dreams and visions and how to bring them into operation in your life. There is a recognition the each person is special with their own special gifts and that it is important for us to join together and help each other more effectively express the special gifts we have. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An untidy, unkept man” which calls us to not be bound to surface issues but to see the truth that is there at a deeper level. Appearances are likely to be misleading at this time. The Moon Symbol is “Crowds coming down the Mountain to listen to one Man”. Here you are challenged to bring your insights and inspirations to a sharp focus, evaluating what is practical and effective while still taking into account whether the thoughts and ideas of others need to be included in your calculations.
On August 8 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 6. Both Uranus and Saturn are interacting with the New Moon although Uranus is much stronger. This indicates a tendency to act spontaneously this month without thinking about the consequences. There is a strong need for freedom to do what you want to do when you want to do it. This is like an echo of the energies we will be dealing with around Christmas when Saturn and Uranus will be interacting intensely. This vibration also involves a sense of the importance to interacting with the other people in your community. There is a potential here to learn some new things and expand your connections with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A nonvested Church Choir”. This is about beginning to interact with others in a relaxed and open way learning how to work effectively together in unified action. There is awarning about being overly critical of others that this comes from feeling threatened and could result in you losing your connections with your community.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. There is potential for expansion and growth this summer. The summer energy contains a sense of moderation involving acting in a considerate harmonious way but there will likely be some change, some action to open up to new patterns and ways of operating. A strong Sabian Symbol for the summer is “A Fellowship Supper” which refers to reaching out to others, sharing companionably with them, forming, and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation all for the purpose of healing your lines of connection. If you refuse to reconnect with others out of fears of facing and dealing with past issues and old secrets, you may have a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.
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 Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning Forward of 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 “!”}
