The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Tuesday (11/17/20) , the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (2*). We are now moving toward the final big conjunction of this year, Jupiter conjunct Saturn on December 21 on the Winter Solstice. This has been a year of restriction from Saturn Pluto on January 12, followed by a great deal of expansion (at least expansion of the Covid-19 Virus) shown by the Jupiter Pluto conjunction that occurred 3 times in April, June and finally on Nov 12. The time period between now and the Winter Solstice will likely show a slowing down of the expansion we have seen during this year. This entire year is the process of facing ourselves and taking the necessary steps in expanding self-awareness that will bring personal growth. There are changes that are going to happen and we can work with them or fight them, but they will come. As we move beyond the Jupiter Pluto conjunction to the final pattern of Jupiter and Saturn, we will experience a lot of evaluation of what is really important to continue to include in our lives and how we can grow in a sensible way that does not overload us or our world. We are being taught to be more aware of what the long-term consequences of our actions are. We are challenged to think more about the impact we have on other people and on the world we live in.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, 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 studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth.
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 dogmatically pushing your beliefs on others, believing that you know the one and only true way, seeking to force other people to follow your beliefs.

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}
Nov 16 – Nov 17 (exact Nov 17) Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:07 AM then decreasing fading out around 8 PM. This vibration brings the mind into really quick operation, however it may tend to be scattered. This is a time to carry your notebook as you may have new ideas or concepts burst into your mind and you need to write them down to remember them.
Nov 5 – Nov 19 (exact Nov 12) Jupiter in Capricorn is joining with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 6 AM on November 19. This vibration brings an intense need to grow and expand. This is the last of three conjunctions of Jupiter and Pluto this year and will set an imprint on us for the next 13 years. This conjunction brings us lessons about getting really close with people of other cultures and expanding our understanding of them and of ourselves in the process.
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 12:54 AM, peaking at 2:54 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Libra. This 4 hr period brings a desire to make a soul level connection with those around you. This is an important time to share with close friends and family.
At 11:34 AM 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 is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 11:00 PM, peaking at 1:00 AM on November 18, the Moon in Capricorn is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of spontaneity and a desire to freely express yourself sincerely and honestly. There is a need to be free of restraints and expectations.
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 November 15, the Moon and Sun in Scorpio formed the New Moon. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, on December 14. This New Moon is about transformative growth in a balanced way where you are contributing to the growth of those around you and they are contributing to your growth. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and Moon is “Crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one man”. This is about learning to bring your insights and inspirations into a sharp focus, evaluating what is practical and effective and weighing your awareness against the insights of others recognizing that both viewpoints need to be considered.
On September 22, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the days and nights are equal. This vibration will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern calls us to look inside of ourselves and see who we really are and whether we are being true to ourselves. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it” which involves recognizing that your personal understanding is limited and opening up to learn and flexibly relate to others and adjust based on how they are perceiving you and what they expect of you. The Moon Symbol is “A drowning man rescued”. This is about seeking help to better ground yourself and to take responsibility for your actions, learning how to be more effective.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mercury, Uranus
Reworking Patterns of Uranus: Turning Forward Mars, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn
{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 “!”}
