The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Yesterday and today, Tuesday (10/28/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Jupiter and Saturn (3*). This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about you actively working to create a flow of harmony in your world. You interact with the people you are similar to and you get involved in communities that you resonate with. The focus is on taking action to do what is essential in order to expand and accomplish big goals. You are needing to expand in a systematic way one step at a time. For VA Students (3, 6, 9, 12)
For two days now this vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by using your creativity as your major investigative tool. You need to tune into the universal patterns and use them as your guide to manifestation seeking to make each manifestation as close to its universal pattern as you can.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
6 (5*) Need for compatible interactions with others
3 (4*) You are seeking to operate in such a way that you experience a flow of energy within and around you.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to look deeply below the surface and see the fundamental structures that underlie your current reality. You are opening to a connection that overshadows you, a greater authority that is calling on you to transcend ego and logical rationalization, open to spiritual power and learn to assume responsibility for using the power that has been given to you wisely and with humility. You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are using subtle manipulations to invade other people’s space to reveal that which is hidden so you can use it failing to understand the true implications of what you are finding. You are claiming this power as your own and operating from a sense of personal superiority and divine right; potentially abusing your power. You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted.

27 Pisces = Saturn [A harvest moon] You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future and/or you are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted
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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Oct 28 – Oct 30 (exact Oct 29) Mercury in Sagittarius is opposing Uranus in Gemini. This energy begins to influence us around 6 PM on Oct 28 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:36 PM on Oct 29 then it is decreasing fading out around 3 PM on Oct 30.This vibrational energy pattern brings sudden insights that burst out unexpectedly in the moment. You find your mind working quickly and very effectively making new connections.
Oct 28 – Oct 31 (exact Oct 29) Mars in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Saturn in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 8 AM on Oct 28 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:05 PM on Oct 29 then it is decreasing fading out around 11 PM on Oct 30. This vibrational energy pattern brings a flow of awareness of the essential things that will most effectively accomplish your goals and a willingness to do those things even if they are difficult and dirty tasks, a willingness to do what needs to be done.
Oct 28 – Oct 30 (exact Oct 29) Mercury in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This energy begins to influence us around 6 AM on Oct 28 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:26 AM on Oct 29 then it is decreasing fading out around 3 AM on Oct 30. This vibrational energy pattern brings a need to participate in a flow of amazing ideas, to see connections that deal with abstract patterns, ideals, visions and dreams.
Oct 26 – Oct 29 (exact Oct 28) Mars in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Cancer. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:19 AM on Oct 28 then it is decreasing fading out around 2 PM on Oct 29. This vibrational energy pattern brings a flow of big expansive actions. This is the perfect time to act in a big way.
Aug 11 – Oct 27 (not exact) Uranus in Gemini is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for the 2 ½ months. This vibrational energy pattern brings an intense need to be free and able to act spontaneously and genuinely. At this time you cannot tolerate a feeling of restriction and control.
Aug 2 – Dec 17 (exact Aug 28 and then Nov 20) Uranus in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Aries. This energy is decreasing fading out around 7 PM on Dec 17. This vibrational energy pattern brings a high level of sensitivity to the energy flows around you even if you can’t really describe what you are feeling. This sensitivity can result in sometimes unexplainable reactions to things that happen around you.
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 10:11 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:11 AM early October 28, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Venus in Libra. This 4 hr period brings a desire to feel beautiful. You will probably be more aware of your appearance and the appearance of the world around you. You may be moved to make something around you look nicer.
Starting at 11:56 AM, peaking at 1:56 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is opposing Jupiter in Cancer. In this 4 hr period you will be feeling optimistic and expansive and wanting to expand your horizons by having new experiences and getting to know new people. This is a really good time to be involved in social interactions with other people.
Starting at 12:36 PM, peaking at 2:36 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Scorpio. In this 4 hr period you want to express your emotions in an active harmonious way sharing with others. This is a great time for group activities or meetings or for social sharing or for team sports.
Starting at 2:06 PM, peaking at 4:06 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Saturn in Pisces. In this 4 hr period you find it easy to accept responsibility and work comfortably with others getting the things done that really need to be done.
Starting at 9:17 PM, peaking at 11:17 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Scorpio. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 9:38 PM, peaking at 11:38 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period could bring a distracted dreamy feeling where you are not really sharply focused. Instead you may find yourself day-dreaming about what you would like your life to be like. This is a good time to dream, but not a good time to act on those dreams. Wait until you are thinking more clearly.
At 11:55 PM the Moon enters Aquarius and becomes focused for the next 2 ½ days on participating in group processes. We are all a part of many groups including our family, our friends, our community, our country and our world. The Moon in Aquarius finds satisfaction in being a part of its groups and contributing to the functioning and well being of those groups.
Starting at 10:39 PM, peaking at 12:39 AM early October 29, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you have an easy sense of flexibility and ability to respond in the immediate moment by connecting with others in a flowing network of curious exploration.
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 October 21, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This Vibrational Energy Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings a strong emotional need to develop a greater awareness of the beauty of the connections we all have to each other and how to share gentle energy with each other. There is a growing awareness that we are impacted internally by the way we relate to others. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Humanity seeking to bridge the Span of Knowledge”. This is about are reaching out to span the generations, being open to the transfer of knowledge from others and seeking to transfer your knowledge to others. There is a warning here about keeping your knowledge as a secret and refusing to share with others for the good of all.
On September 22, the Sun entered Libra. This is the Fall Equinox. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern shows the potential for either deception and betrayal or increased spiritual awareness. There is an underlying awareness of the importanceof personal growth and development and a need to have this expressed more effectively in your culture. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon distance is “The President of the Country” which has to do with you claiming the authority of your position and accepting responsibility to act in ways that benefit all. There is danger of distortion if you are focusing on a sense of privilege, power and personal aggrandizement.
On September 21, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Moon and Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on February 17, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern brings an evaluation of emotional patterns and responses seeking to separate deception and betrayal from the seeking of deep spiritual truth. If you listen clearly in your heart you will know which is which. This is a time for you to focus inside yourself and explore the deeper aspects inside seeking to get past any barriers that keep you from connecting into your unique self and your gifts. You are encouraged to project the current patterns into the future and see what will bring the best results for everybody involved. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to immediate service”.This is about the importance of totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. There is danger in you being pulled away from critical tasks, responding to outside interruptions and losing your sense of yourself and your ability to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On September 7, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs with Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on March 3, 2026. This Vibrational Energy Pattern encourages us to see beyond our emotional reactions to the truth of this moment showing that we must learn to embrace that which we have previously excluded. We are challenged to adjust our visions of the future to see more clearly the possibilities for sudden insights into the deep archaic patterns that are holding us back from realizing our dreams. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Orangutan” which involves sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within you and recognizing the need to refine and guide those forces into more mature expression. It is dangerous in this energy pattern to take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Flow of Inspiration” which brings the potential for you to connect into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, If you close up and get caught in a cycle of negativity you will find your perceptions limited which will shut you off from others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mercury, Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Forward of Neptune, 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 “!!!”}
