The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Tuesday (1/9/2024),the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Saturn (0*). There is no vibrational energy today strong enough to organize the energy field. You are likely to respond to the energy that most closely aligns with you. The first of the available energies is the featured pattern Sun, Mars, Saturn. This vibrational energy is seeking to achieve its goals while being sensitive to the effect it’s goals have on others. It will do whatever it needs to do to be effective. The second of the available energies is Moon, Mercury, Neptune which is seeking to bring the personal perspective and viewpoint out and make it a reality that is operating in the outside world. This can be very challenging. The third of the available energies is Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. This energy is more focused within seeking to figure out what is essential and fundamental in your inner world and to focus there and let go of everything trivial.

The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
24 (4*) Free-flowing action expressing of your motivations and drives harmoniously The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Mars, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are opening up to the possibility of a different type of life where abundance is flowing into and through you. You are recognizing that there are many viewpoints and that all need to be understood and appreciated for what they represent. You are releasing your customary restraints and preoccupations gathering together the many bits and pieces of yourself to form an organized structure that can operate temporarily for the benefit of others.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are getting overloaded by all the expectations for yourself that you and others have. You are joining with like-minded people and planning to threaten those who do not share your views and perspective on life. You are giving yourself less worth than you deserve, feeling that you need to sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others.

5 Capricorn = Mars [Indians rowing a canoe and dancing a war dance] You are recognizing that there are many viewpoints and that all need to be understood and appreciated for what they represent and/or you are joining with like-minded people and planning to threaten those who do not share your views and perspective on life
5 Pisces = Saturn [A church bazaar] You are releasing your customary restraints and preoccupations gathering together the many bits and pieces of yourself to form an organized structure that can operate temporarily for the benefit of others and/or you are giving yourself less worth than you deserve, feeling that you need to sacrifice yourself for the benefit of others
The 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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Jan 8 – Jan 10 (exact Jan 9) the Sun in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:07 PM on Jan. 9 then decreasing fading out around 9 PM on Jan. 10. This vibrational energy pattern is tuned in to the moment. There is an experience of freedom to do what you feel like you need to do. This is a sense of response in the moment based on what you sense inside of you as you tune into your connections into the flow of life.
Jan 8 – Jan 11 (exact Jan 9) Mars in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:39 PM on Jan. 9 then decreasing fading out around 10 AM on Jan. 11. This vibrational energy pattern is about doing the things that you need to do to accomplish your goals and meet your responsibilities. At this time you may find the tedious tasks necessary to get the job done to be a little easier to do than at other times.
Jan 7 – Jan 10 (exact Jan 8) Mercury in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Jan. 10. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking action to manifest fascinating new ideas that are so extraordinary they seem to be out of this world.
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 10:27 AM, peaking at 12:27 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
Starting at 11:24 AM, peaking at 1:24 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is joining with Mercury in Sagittarius. The emotions and moods and mental patterns are working together. This is a time when you are very effective in doing projects.
At 8:33 PM the Moon 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 Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation occurs, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
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 January 3, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a desire to find the Truth in this moment. There is a sense of an electrical energy that is charging our world and our experiences. This is related to the need to grow and evolve in an organic way like a plant and to then take action based on this growth in our awareness. There is the potential here for personal realizations that can show us what the big actions are that we need to take at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An ancient bas-relief carved in granite”. This reminds us that we need to open up to and embrace the ancient awarenesses and truths that have been preserved for future generations. This can provide a solid foundation for your life it you apply these ancient truths in a flexible way in the present. The Moon Symbols is “A Noon Siesta” which points to the importance of taking time to relax in order to reflect and process so that you can be refreshed and be able to interact with others more effectively.
On December 26, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a strong emphasis on growth and expansion. There is a sense of your interactions bringing a natural flow of expansion. There is a strong emphasis in this Full Moon on interacting with others in harmonious flowing exchanges. The community is a likely source of support, especially certain people in your community that you are especially involved with. It is important to evaluate the communities you are involved in and determine whether you are in resonance with the communities you relate in. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Indians rowing a Canoe and dancing a War Dance” which is about learning to recognize that there are many viewpoints that all need to be understood and appreciated. There is a danger here of joining with like-minded people and threatening those who do not share your views and perspectives on life. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Automobile wrecked by a Train”. Here you are challenged to look realistically at what is going on around you so you can see the dangers and move to a safer place. If you let yourself get distracted by your feelings so you cannot clearly see what is going on around you, you may not be able to protect yourself from the dangers around you. The challenge is to be clear and aware over the next two weeks.
On December 21 the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 19. This is the shortest day of the year. After the Winter Solstice the days start getting longer and by the Spring Equinox the temperature starts to catch up with the lengthening days. The Solstice brings a flow of unfolding energy that contains the potential for a rebirth in our understanding of both the past and the present. There is a sense of being called to walk in harmony with the people and the world around us as we tune into what is really fundamental and foundational. The Vibration between the Sun and the Moon gives us the Sabian Symbol of “A Case of Apoplexy”. Apoplexy is an old name for something like a stroke where you are temporarily unconscious from an overload in your system. This speaks to very contradictory feelings wanting to express but feeling anxious and fearing disapproval. This is about facing that which is within you that may be inhibiting your ability to truly express what you are. You are meant to shine as a reflection of the one light connecting into something beyond yourself.
On December 12 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 11, 2024. This vibrational energy is aware of the importance of balancing your needs against the needs of others especially when you are trying to accomplish a goal. Seeking to be aware of and relate to the patterns you see around you will help you work more effectively. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Flag that turns into an Eagle that crows”. This is about letting go of established alliances and moving into a new sense of spiritual connections that teaches you to celebrate your unique individuality. It is important to not use your power and influence to push views on others that would not be good for them.
On October 28 the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This vibrational energy pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on Mar 25, 2024. This vibrational energy brings a deep desire to expand your emotional connections and to learn new and different things. There is an underlying whisper of dreams of beauty and exotic experiences. There may be some tendency to project your dreams into the world and not know what is real and what is not. There is a strong need to participate in a new and different worldview that will at least give the hope of involvement in a creative community. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Gold Rush” which can represent you going out into the rugged dangerous depths of yourself and seeking to break up the rigid structures within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. The Moon Symbols is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge”. Here is the opportunity to build a bridge that will cross the abyss and connect you to the next level of awareness. This is not something we can do by ourselves, but if you ask for help from spirit, you will receive it.
On October 14, 2023 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This vibrational energy is particularly oriented towards involvement in creative groups. There is a desire to explore without an agenda and see what wonders you can find. This involves a passion for learning and applying what you have learned. There is a desire to expand emotionally at a pace you can handle effectively. There is also a need to go out and act and express yourself, make your life happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Child giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain”. This is about drawing from the fountain of spiritual nourishment, replenishing yourself and generously sharing with those around you who are not able to obtain it for themselves.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!!!”}
