The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry

Today (10/16/18) the strongest influence comes from the Sun joining with Mars and Neptune (1*).  
You have been doing a lot of exploration and visualization of your ideals and visions for how life needs to go for you and others and today you are focused on acting on those visions and ideals.  Your unique way of expression is rising up within you and you are ready to take the risk of really being yourself and doing you without regard to what others think about it.  There is a strong need to act on your dreams today, to do the things you have been dreaming about doing recently.  If at all possible, give yourself some space to be spontaneous and impulsive today.  See what can flow from you as you flow with life.
 
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (in order of strength)
23 (11*) Focusing on one’s unique orientation to life and expressing that whatever the risks
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}
 
Oct 15 – Oct 16 (exact Oct 15) Mercury is joining with Venus in Scorpio.  This vibration is fading out about 4 AM today.  This is about beautiful thoughts and can inspire poetry or a desire to listen to music that really feeds your soul or reading a book that is just written beautifully.  You could also go some place that you just love to be.  This is a very positive vibration.
 
Oct 9 – Oct 11 (exact Oct 10) Mercury in Scorpio is opposing Uranus in Taurus.  This vibrations starts to be felt right before midnight and increases in strength until it  peaks at 1:36 PM tomorrow.  This brings a lot of mental activity bringing sudden unexpected insights.  The mind may tend to jump from one thing to another which can show connections between things that you don’t normally perceive.  There can be sudden inspirations so keep your notebook handy to write down your thoughts before you lose track of them as your mind jumps to something else.
 
Oct 9 – Oct 12 (exact Oct 10) Venus in Scorpio is active (square) with Mars in Aquarius.  This brings a desire to experience beauty in our lives.  We want to do things that make our lives more real where we are more in touch with ourselves and the world around us.  This is a great time to take a celebratory walk in the rain, or work in your garden, or reorganize the patio or some area in your house that has been bothering you.  You can also cook a special meal with fresh, maybe home grown herbs.  Discover and express the beauty of the world around you.  This vibration is increasing in strength until its peak at 10:28 PM.
 
July 2 – Oct. 19 (exact Sept. 26) Uranus in Taurus is quiet and focused (septile) with Pluto in Capricorn.  This pattern is slowly decreasing in strength until Oct. 19 when it fades away.  You may be feeling you are lacking spontaneity in your life and find yourself forcing yourself to be spontaneous.  This is not easy and may generate some tension inside you.  Any focused and spontaneous activity will help use and release this energy.  Some examples are dance, group sports, tai chi, or martial arts.  Also, a massage might help release built up tension. 
 
The Moods of the Moon
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns that impact our moods and feelings for a window of a couple of hours either side of their listed time.}
 
Starting at 2:54 AM, peaking at 4:54 AM, the Moon and Pluto are conjunct in Capricorn. 
You may have deep feelings from the past rising up at this time and Capricorn brings you the ability to step back from these feelings and realize that they are from the past and let them go.  Later at 2:02 PM the First Quarter Moon occurs.  This will be discussed in the Cyclic Patterns below.  Then around 3:49 PM, peaking 5:49 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely with Jupiter in Scorpio.  This can bring some stronger feelings into focus, how positive that focus will be depends on what you focus on.  It is better to focus on positive feelings because whatever feelings you focus on will tend to be stronger than usual.
 
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.}

The First Quarter Moon occurs at 2:02 PM today October 16 and will be an influence until the Full Moon on October 24.  There is a focus on acting from deep values within and on each individual expressing their unique view point whatever the risk.  This includes a sense of long-term consequences for the actions taken.  The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A butterfly with a third wing on its left side”.  This relates to expanding your heart and developing greater sensitivity and a greater capacity to nurture.  The Moon Symbol is “A woman entering a convent” which points out willingness to sacrifice your personal needs in the service of others.  This whole pattern points to individuals working for the good of others even at great personal sacrifice.
 
The New Moon was on Oct. 8 and it will be influencing us until the next New Moon on Nov. 7.  This New Moon‘s strongest vibration is 19.  This is focused on objective analysis of the patterns that are happening in the society the people live in contrasting those with the patterns and principles of other societies being able to see both the good and bad points of each and seeking to figure out the best ways of operating.  The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A boat landing washed away”.  This relates to breaking fee of previously safe and secure patterns that have been blocking your awareness and your growth.  You are seeking to build more structures in your life that will work better.  There is an awareness of a lot of damage and devastation as you experience things being torn apart and you can either focus on building something better or be devastated and overwhelmed by the lost and disaster.
 
The Fall Equinox was on Sept. 22 and will be a vibrational influence in our lives until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21.  This is when the Sun enters Libra and day and night are of equal length.  This is the transition into the half of the year when the nights are longer than the days.  The Fall Equinox pattern will continue to influence us until the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21.  This Fall there is a focus on interacting in a focused way with others in teams with common goals.  There is also a desire to be guided in your actions by someone you respect who serves as a teacher or coach.  You will tend to be very mentally sensitive and responsive and torn between your sense of responsibility and your desire to express yourself in your own way.  The Sabian symbol for the Moon is “A cross lying on rocks”.  This is about true awakening and the painful process of transcending the barriers within you that block that awakening.  In the process of awakening you may feel like your life is ending if you do not realize that this is a transition phase into a greater awareness once you disconnect from the beliefs that are blocking your awakening.
 
The overview of the Current Eclipse Cycle of 3 Eclipses between July 12 and August 11.  {We will be feeling the vibrational effect of the current eclipse cycle at least until the start of the next cycle on January 6, 2019.  The following is the summary of the guidance from the Sabian Symbols for the eclipses in this cycle.}
 
Express your gifts as a natural outflow of who you are without feeling that you deserve special treatment.  Your reactions to situations may come from problems in your past that have not been resolved with the current situation just being a trigger.  You can receive guidance, knowledge and wisdom from the spirit world and from your ancestors helping you tune into ancient wisdom and understand how it can be effective in addressing the problems you face today.  This will allow you to relax into an easy flow of interaction with other people where you are accepting other people and they are accepting you.  Open up to your higher universal awareness and connections and let it guide you.
 
The Retrograde Diary
(Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) reworking patterns, (Saturn) in Final Resolution
{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.}
 
Venus: {Sept 3 [Oct 5 – Nov 16] Dec 18} 25 Libra – 10 Scorpio
Oct. 15 – 17:  (10-9 Sco) Reworking:  Working on being able to drill out deep decay, filling in the holes, replacing missing parts, and returning your structure to it’s proper functional form learning how you can continue to keep it in good shape, learning to stop digging in deeper and deeper causing more damage as you go and refusing to change your beliefs and behaviors in order to stop creating harm
 
Saturn {Jan. 10 [Apr. 17 – Sept. 6] Dec. 12} 2 – 9 Capricorn
Sept. 30 – Oct. 19:  (3-4 Cap) Resolution:  Remember to join with others in a group effort (or work through internal conflicts) to accomplish a common goal with each person contributing his or her skills and energy, learning to stop bickering with others, refusing to carry your share or having others refuse to do their part and dumping it all on you
 
Uranus {Apr. 20 [Aug. 7 – Jan. 6, 2019] Apr. 23, 2019} 28 Aries – 2 Taurus
Oct. 12 – Nov. 6:  (1-30 Tau) Reworking:  Working on being able to open to the flow of nourishment and love coming to you in life in an unending stream letting it flow through you to others, learning to stop refusing to share with others and blocking the stream up resulting in it damming up within you which stops the flow of life energy through you..
 
Neptune {Feb. 6 [June 18 – Nov. 25] Mar. 15, 2019} 13 – 16 Pisces
Sept. 10 – Oct. 22:  (15-14 Pis) Reworking:  Working on being able to rehearse and prepare for possible future difficulties and attacks being on your guard with a strong sense of your strength and authority while being relaxed at the same time, learning to prepare for possible future problems but not constantly worry about them, being fearful and overreacting and losing touch with the joy of life
 
Pluto {Dec. 31, 2017 [Apr. 22 – Sept. 30] Jan. 21, 2019} 18 – 21 Capricorn
Aug. 29 – Nov. 1:  (19-18 Cap) Turning Forward:  The Challenge is to reach a level of awareness where you can bring the gifts of the spirit into reality even though you are not mature enough to effectively manage them all, learning to stop getting overloaded by all the expectations of yourself that you and others have
 
Mercury Next Cycle: {Oct 28 [Nov 17 – Dec 6] Dec 24} 27 Scorpio – 13 Sagittarius
