The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (1/5/21) the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). This vibration is about evaluating the long term consequences of your actions and sharing what you think with others. This is combined with Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn which is about seeking to expand at a reasonable pace using mental evaluation and analysis as your guide in this process. There is a process of stepping back and seeing the big picture and then figuring out what to do to adjust that picture so that it operates in the way you see as bringing the best outcome in the long term for everybody. Do share your ideas and insights with your friends and others you come into contact with today. This is about sharing your insights, not just figuring it out for yourself.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. You are displaying genuine, precious, beautiful, and useful products and gifts, offering them to others at a fair price. You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, accepting the consequences of your actions. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve. You are misrepresenting the value and significance of your products and gifts seeking to gain an advantage or take advantage of others. You are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those around you.

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}
Jan 4 – Jan 5 (exact Jan 4) Mercury in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 11 AM. This vibration is focused in our thinking processes. You may find yourself focusing very intensely on some area or concern possibly to the point of obsessiveness. The challenge is to see what this relates to and to face the things in yourself that you need to be dealing with. You may well be confronted with something you need to change.
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 12:42 AM the Moon enters Libra. The Moon in Libra for the next 2 ½ days will tend to focus on the nature of your interactions with others. The Libran Moon wants to relate to others as equals and to respect others and to be respected by those around you. Encouraging this type of interaction will be beneficial to everyone.
Starting at 2:22 AM, peaking at 4:22 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period brings an evaluation of what the long term consequences of your behaviors are with decisions on how you may want to change your behaviors.
Starting at 5:17 AM, peaking at 7:17 AM, the Moon in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is about expanding your ways of operating, seeking to expand your experiences into new realms. This is a good time for social interaction.
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 December 29, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer is opposing the Sun in Capricorn. This Vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 13, 2021. This pattern is focused within the mind dealing especially with obsessive thought patterns that will be brought to light by this Full Moon. There is the opportunity here for getting awareness of obsessive patterns that are not serving you that you would like to change. The energy is working deep within your mind and helps you to evaluate whether you are accomplishing the things you want to accomplish or being blocked from success by internal obsessions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Angel carrying a Harp” which involves opening yourself to the music and harmony of the divine welcoming support and assistance. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Tiny Nude Miss reaching in the Water for a Fish”. This symbol is about innocently grasping for that which is elusive, operating out of a place that transcends normal social mores and moves with innocence into new and different waters. This is about how you deal with that which seems unattainable, do you extend yourself and redefine things or do you give up.
On December 21 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Capricorn and the Moon in Aries. This Vibration will be influencing us until the Full Moon on December 29. This vibration caps off the trio of significant astronomical events today. The vibration here is about the things we really must do. This vibration shows us growing emotionally evaluating our current patterns and keeping the things that serve our long term goals and letting go of things that don’t. This is combined with a deep need to honor and treasure the earth and the beauty of this world we live in and work to support and enhance that beauty.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This sets the pattern for the next three months. And with the Jupiter Saturn conjunction today this sets the patterns for the next 20 years. There is a potential here for a new pattern to form that brings a sense of hope that we haven’t felt in a while. This involves facing the ways we act out of the darkness within us in confusion and pain and letting a new sense of light come in to clear out the pain and bring new life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at every Winter Solstice is “An Indian Chief demanding Recognition” which points to the importance of each of us connecting in with a sense of inner security that brings us into our inner authority which lets us listen comfortably to others and give way when appropriate. This is combined with the Moon Symbol “An Inhabited Island” which helps us to connect deeply into ourselves this winter and recognize our own boundaries as we learn to balance our needs against the needs of those around us.
On December 14 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with both the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This eclipse will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on May 26, 2021. This eclipse brings a strong focus on the mind and thinking clearly and communicating with others. But this is not just about sitting around and feeling and thinking. There is a push here to take action driven by a feeling of dissatisfaction with what is happening. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Bluebird standing at the Door of the House” which is about recognizing your worth even if you are in a strange place, affirming and accepting the blessing and happiness being offered. There is a temptation to always be looking somewhere else for something that is better which can lead to you failing to see the blessings and happiness right at your door.
On November 30, there was a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 14. We are now in the Eclipse Season when everything gets reorganized. This vibration brings an awareness of the importance of being true to ourselves and that our true self is tuned into a greater reality of which we are a part, something greater than ourselves that we participate in. This is a call to open up to that greater reality, become one with it and be transformed by this experience. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Mother with her Children on Stairs” which reminds us that we are being guided with love and care through progressive levels of awareness and growth and this requires that we be open to help from others but that we recognize that we are each responsible for growing up and looking after ourselves rather than expecting to be taken care of. The Moon Symbol is “A Quiver filled with Arrows”. This reminds of the importance of recognizing the pain we carry within us and accepting that pain, then addressing it and working on healing it.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Introductory contact for Pluto, Turning Forward Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Mars, 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 “!”}
