The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (5/4/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Saturn (1*). This vibration is about learning what is of long-term importance, the things that have long lasting significance. This involves finding the foundational structures that underlie the concepts you are studying. This is about exploring your area in a non-linear, evolving kind of exploration that is an organic process, like the way a plant grows. This vibration presents opportunities to share with others in developing your awareness and then to act on it in concert with others in a joint effort. There is the potential here for some creative breakthroughs. This is combined with the sensitive expansion of your dreams that is carried in the Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune vibration. There is real potential here for growth if you free yourself from rigid structures enough to do free-ranging, unrestricted exploration.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Saturn
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are discovering hidden realms and your dual levels of operation when the emotions are stilled so that you can see past the usual emotional turmoil. You are seeing the hidden natural forces operating around you through a shift to a different type of vision where you can perceive that which is normally invisible; opening yourself to the renewal of joyful, magical experiences. You are providing an open container (stocking) that can receive the gifts/awarenesses that spirit in a disguised form is furtively bringing to you. You are emulating the attributes and behaviors of those who are more aware and effective; seeking to shift to a higher level of consciousness. You are seeing more clearly, discovering a shortcut through the obstacles around you, entering into a dark tunnel that quickly guides you toward your destination. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are being unable to quiet the emotions and failing to become aware of the deeper patterns beneath them. You are being caught up in a dream world that brings irresponsible actions due to not seeing the reality of the situations you encounter. You are closing yourself off and refusing to accept the gifts that are being offered to you from unexpected sources. You are pretending to be what you are not; losing contact with reality, deceiving yourself and those around you. You are being overly cautious and afraid to venture into the dark and face the dangers there, choosing instead to take the long way around.

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}
May 2 – May 4 (exact May 2) the Sun in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 8 AM on May 4. This vibration is focused on evaluating how effective your actions are and determining what to accomplish that will have the greatest long term impact.
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.}
Starting at 9:59 AM, peaking at 11:59 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is a time for taking action based on deep soul connections with others. This is a time to be working with those you are closest to.
Starting at 6:05 PM, peaking at 8:05 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is joining with Jupiter in Aquarius. This 4 hr period is expansive and optimistic. This is a time for broadening your contacts and experiences which makes it a great time to engage socially.
At 10:06 PM the Moon enters Pisces bringing a sense of the connections we all have with each other and with everything around us. A Pisces moon is very good at connection things together that don’t look like they belong together, so use this 2 ½ days to reach out and connect with those that you thought you could never establish a relationship with, right now it might work.
Starting at 11:54 PM, peaking at 1:54 AM on May 5, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Mercury in Gemini. This 4 hr period encourages you to work out any differences between your feelings and your thoughts and to combine the two together to take action.
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 May 3 the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 11. There is a sense of how special each person is and what a unique expression of the divine spirit each of us is. This pattern is especially about appreciating this deep essence within yourself and especially about communicating to others your awareness of this deep beautiful level in them and your appreciation of it. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Shellfish Groping and Children Playing” which is about recognizing and embracing the many levels of yourself and seeking to embrace the full range of your capabilities, gifts and growth processes. It is important not to cut yourself off from natural aspects of who you are. The Moon Symbols is “A Train entering a Tunnel”. This is about seeing clearly enough to recognizing that you can bypass some of the obstacles within you, just move beyond them. There is some risk here, but this is the time when a shorter way through is available if you can recognized and embrace it.
On April 26, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 11. This Full Moon has some very intense energies. It is heavily influenced by both Uranus and Neptune. Uranus makes this a time that is very spontaneous with a strong need for freedom to express in your own unique way as you feel like. Neptune points this energy into your dreams for your life. It encourages you to take actions that will bring your dreams more into your life. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Sleigh without Snow”. This is about you working now to develop the skills and tools you need for the life you are seeking to make for yourself. The Moon Symbol is “The Moon shining across a Lake” which is about you seeing further and deeper and perhaps getting some glimmer of what you can do in your life.
On April 11, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining together in Aries. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 11. This New Moon holds the promise of a rebirth of our understanding of life, the potential for setting in motion a deeper understanding of the beauty of life and of all people that all of us must be included and valued to make a whole world. There is something new being born at this time, let us hope we can cherish it and welcome it into our lives. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load”. This represents the potential for opening up in trust to the soft loving transmission of an extremely significant, hidden pattern that is in the process of forming within you. The challenge is for you to actually open up and not let your fear and blockages keep you from receiving this special gift.
On March 20, the Sun entered Aries. This is the Spring Equinox, the start of Spring. This vibration will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2021. The Spring vibration is extremely creative. There is unusual ability this spring to focus and work on creative projects. You are capable of making your own analysis of what is really important and what most needs to be done. At the same time there is a strong inclination to integrate this with your dreams and to take actions that will make your dreams more real. A Sabian Symbol that relates to this spring is “A Fellowship Supper” which relates to breaking through your feelings of alienation opening yourself up to healing your lines of connection to others. It is important to work past your fears and face whatever issues are relevant so that you can reconnect both with yourself and with the world around you.
This current Eclipse season ended on December 14, 2020 and the next eclipse season will begin on May 26, 2021. The current eclipse season will be influencing us until the next one begins. The current eclipse cycle involved a push for action based on feelings of dissatisfaction. This is combined with 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 Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Introductory contact for Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Turning Backward of 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 “!”}
