The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Tuesday (8/09/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). The strongest vibrational pattern today is restless and dissatisfied and seeking something different from what it has been experiencing in the world around it. There is a sense of joining with others to find a different, hopefully, more satisfying experience of life. This involves analysis of the patterns and experiences around you. You are finding that they do not operate from the really essential and foundational levels of life. Then of seeking patterns that will be more foundational. Finding patterns like this is seen as the amazing wonderful goal that would move you out of the ordinary world into a more significant experience of life. This is the underlying pressure that generates the restlessness that you may be feeling today. (For VA Students: 11, 22).
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
11 (1*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking of something different
8 (1*) Acting effectively on Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are looking at things in a uniquely different light, using your creativity to discover new and different possibilities for the future. You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, discovering new modes of self-expression. You are getting rid of all that is not truly part of your essence as a deeply spiritually aligned and complete person. At the same time you are recognizing the truth of other people , seeing who and what they are in the essence of their beings. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being caught in patterns of unrealistic thoughts. This may involve making plans for the future that do not work and losing touch with the real world. You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you. You are refusing to look at distortions in your values and motives. Instead you are clinging to rigid positions, deceiving, lying, and misleading those around you and being rejected.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Aug 8 – Aug 9 (exact Aug 9) Venus in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:17 AM then decreasing fading out around 9 PM. This vibration brings an irrational attraction to beauty particularly in your interactions with others. If you recognize this feeling as a passing thing and don’t get sucked into it, it will be a delightful experience. If you get swallowed up by this feeling, you may do some things that you will not be happy with long term.
Aug 6 – Aug 9 (exact Aug 7) Mars in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This is decreasing fading out around 2 AM. This vibration brings a sense of the importance of taking action that addresses the essential fundamental realities of life. This involves the willingness to do the hard work necessary to make a difference in people’s lives. Seek to do the tasks that are necessary but often avoided. This vibration calls for these tasks to be completed and there may well be consequences if they are not addressed.
The Moods of the Moon.
{The Moon patterns only last a short period of time. They impact our moods and feelings for around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 1:51 AM, peaking at 3:51 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Virgo. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
Starting at 2:24 AM, peaking at 4:24 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Aries. In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
Starting at 6:58 PM, peaking at 8:58 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment in an organic way based on a sense of objective awareness.
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 5, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Leo is and the Moon in Scorpio. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on Aug 11. This vibrational pattern starts with a sense of something special that we can tune into inside of ourselves. This is aided by the sensitivity people are likely to have to each other this week. There is the potential for deeply evaluating the stories of the people around you and being able to help them tune in more deeply into the special awareness and gifts that they have. There may be some sudden emotional experiences and insights. Be aware that people are likely to have a low frustration tolerance today. Be prepared to walk away if a situation looks like it will get volatile. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “The Human Soul awaiting opportunity for Expression”. This is about opening up to the messages within you and around you, waiting until you know it is the right time for you to express yourself. The Symbol for the Moon is “Telephone Linemen at Work”. This brings the opportunity to establish new and more extensive connections between different aspects of yourself and the universal levels of awareness. Seek to be aware of where the spiritual communication is coming from and not get your personal desires mixed in and distorting the message.
On July 28, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Aug 27. This vibrational pattern brings a focus on your own internal world and may well be a time of withdrawal. You may find yourself needing more time to yourself than usual in order to keep your internal balance. At the same time there is the indication of a need to expand either your own awareness or your connections with the greater world. The Sabian Symbol for the new moon is “An Old-Fashioned Woman and an Up-To-Date Girl”. This is about needing to balance tried and true patterns with new innovative patterns looking for the most effective and wisest course of action. There is a danger of becoming so attached to a particular point of view that you feel threatened by anything that challenges it.
On June 21 the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. The vibrational energy pattern for the solstice contains a shared potential for creative exploration. There is also a sense of shared restlessness and dissatisfaction that seems to drive people to seek something different than what they have. The Sabian Symbol for the Summer Solstice comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon. It is “A Gypsy coming out of the Forest” which shows the potential for people to move beyond their previously restricted viewpoint and become aware of a larger reality that they can connect into.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awareness of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: None Turning back of Jupiter, Uranus: Reworking of 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 “!”}
