The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 10:59 AM EST Today December 21, the Sun enters Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and the official start of winter.
Today, Tuesday (12/21/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon and Venus joining with Pluto (1*). Today’s strongest vibrational pattern is interactive, seeking to achieve, sharing with others in creative ways, being involved in deep serious development in groups, and interacting in community. There is a sense of history and an attraction to cultures and life styles and people who are involved in historical or traditional patterns. This is combined with a great deal of caring and a feeling of devotion to the patterns of our fathers that form the basis and foundation for our life today.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
7 (1*) Quiet, introverted, meditative, observant, forming own internal reality.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Venus, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are retreating to a place of quiet and reflection where you can open up to and explore the new awarenesses and connections within yourself, gaining insight from the books and people available to you in this retreat setting. 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 experiencing the inflow of vast amounts of universal love and awareness, assisting you in breaking up old patterns and structures within you. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling repressed and inhibited by the expectations within and around you, not sharing yourself authentically, and feeling left out and isolated. 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. You are being caught up in unexpected emotional turmoil and confrontations that escalate into disaster as your emotional responses increase the turbulence. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position.

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}
At 10:59 AM EST the Sun enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Sun’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last year and see what you have learned and what you need to work on. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary for further discussion.
Dec 20 – Dec 21 (exact Dec 20) Mercury in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 6 AM. This vibration is about a quick mental response with spontaneity. This is a time when people are especially sharp and capable of mental leaps.
Dec 16 – Jan 1 (exact Dec 24) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:16 AM on Dec 24 then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Jan 1. This is a major vibrational pattern that is occurring at this time for the third and final type in this cycle. It is about the need to operate your own way and not follow the crowd. It can involve rebellion and other disruptive behavior. It is extremely independent and not susceptible to influence.
Dec 8 – Dec 28 (exact Dec 11, 25) Venus in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is backing off from a conjunction for awhile and then it peaks again Dec 25 while Venus is retrograde, then it decreases fading out around 5 AM on Dec 28. This vibration is about intense compulsive feelings of attraction. This is especially strong as it goes on both before and during the Venus Retrograde. There is a sense of beauty that is so compelling, it is irresistible. Be aware that intense attractions you feel during this time and likely to fade after this pattern finished.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 6:10 AM, peaking at 8:10 AM, the Moon in Cancer is opposing Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings a sense of deep patterns of feeling moving within you and coming up to consciousness enough that you are aware of them. This sometimes causes an over-reaction based on reacting to these deep patterns rather than what is actually going on around you.
Starting at 7:44 AM, peaking at 9:44 AM, the Moon in Cancer is opposing Venus in Capricorn. This 4 hr period is a time to be involved with those that you have known a long time. This is a time for sharing on a soul level.
At 4:53 PM the Moon enters Leo and for 2 ½ days it brings a feeling of wanting to express yourself as a unique individual in a broad sweeping dramatic fashion. You will also enjoy the unique individual expressions of others around 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.}
At 10:59 AM EST Today December 21, the Sun enters Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and the official start of winter. This vibration pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20, 2022. There is a special focus on sensing and realizing the unique special essence within each of us and supporting it’s development and expression. There is also an emphasis on the beauty of traditions that have a long history. There is an attraction to places and items that have a long history as well. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “A Modern Pocahontas” which is about opening up to connections between ancient cultural wisdom and modern exploration of new frontiers. This involves a recognition on an intuitive level that there are levels of awareness and forces of life that are beyond the comprehension of the rational mind and the ego. This involves embracing and honoring traditional wisdom. The Sun to Moon vibration’s Sabian Symbol is “Two Angels bringing Protection”. This is a reminder that we can open up to the protection of the divine which comes to us on both a conscious and an unconscious level.
On December 18 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 2, 2022. This vibrational pattern is aligned with the Saturn Uranus square that occurs on December 24. This means there is a strong pattern of forming your own structure for your life and operating out of it. There is the potential here to first analyze what needs to happen and then to use your intuition to figure out the answer you want to pursue. This vibration involve taking the risk to actually implement your plan even if others don’t agree with it. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Old Bridge over a Beautiful Stream” which is about you recognizing the true beauty deep within you, gradually exploring it and accepting that it may be very difficult to face and accept this beauty in the depths of your being. The Moon Symbol is “A Man declared Bankrupt”. This is about realizing that you have failed in the past to relate effectively and that now it is time to include others in the equation, and you get to start over again and maybe do it differently this time.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season. It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.
On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Back of Venus: Reworking of Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune: Resolution of Jupiter, Saturn, 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 “!”}
