The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (4/17/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Mercury joining with Jupiter and Saturn (2*). The vibrational energy pattern today is brings a feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction. There is a need to seek something that is missing, something that is not quite right. You will find a tendency to see the big picture, the long view and to get a perspective on how your life is going and the life of the community around you. There is a need to expand and reach out and find what is really important. You may find yourself analyzing things more clearly than in the past and seeing more clearly what is really fundamental and of core importance. There is the potential today to get a clearer understanding than usual of what you are missing and what you need to do about it. (For VA Students: 11, 22)
The Theme for today is about being objective and detached. This comes from a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction where you are always reaching out to make more connections seeking a safe space where you can be natural and genuine without any restrictions.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are detaching yourself from your immediate experience, getting an overview of a broader pattern in which you operate as a part of the whole; opening to the underlying wonder of life’s magic. You are recognizing the messages pointing to your personal lessons, embracing your potential for growth, seeking to open to the evolving pattern of yourself. You are connecting into the flow of spiritual inspiration moving through you and out into the world, being flexible and open to that which you have not previously known or experienced.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are withdrawing into a fantasy land, where you cannot relate to what is around you. You are closing yourself off and refusing to look at the message in front of your eyes. You are closing up and being caught in a cycle of negativity that limits your perceptions and shuts you off from 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}
Apr 17 – Apr 21 (exact Apr 19) Mars in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 4 PM on Apr. 17 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:28 AM on Apr. 19 then decreasing fading out around 7 AM on Apr. 21. This vibrational energy pattern is about interacting with other people in a flowing harmonious way and joining together to take big actions. There is a definite potential for success if you join with others at this time to take big actions.
Apr 15 – Apr 26 (exact Apr 20) Jupiter in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:27 PM on Apr. 20 then decreasing fading out around 3 PM on Apr. 26. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of expansion focusing in the present moment without regard to the past or future. This can be a delightful experience of freedom and spontaneity. It is probably not the best time to make significant changes in your life.
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 2:03 AM, peaking at 4:03 AM, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 9:01 AM, peaking at 11:01 AM, the Moon in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Mercury in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a good interaction between your mind and emotions helping you to both think and feel clearly. This is a good time to be working on important projects.
Starting at 2:11 PM, peaking at 4:11 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions will tend to expand. If you are feeling good, this can be great. If you are not feeling good, then this can be difficult. See if you can direct your feelings and thoughts to things that are pleasant and positive and you will be rewarded with some really good feelings.
Starting at 3:20 PM, peaking at 5:20 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next moment and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
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 April 15, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the Full Moon on April 23. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking actions to expand your connections and include people that you may have previously excluded. There is a sense of planning for what you really want and figuring out the way you can genuinely express yourself. You are likely to be exploring and trying different techniques to find the ones that feel the most right for you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Lost Opportunities regained in the Imagination”. This is about getting a second change and being able to reconnect with lost opportunities through the use of your imagination. There is a potential to focus on what is lost and be unable to move into a place where you can experience a second chance. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Storm in a Canyon” which relates to you recognizing that you have unresolved issues and undeveloped primitive aspects of yourself that are generating storms within you. Recognizing the source of these internal storms will enable you to work on the issues within you more effectively.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
On March 19, the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun entered Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is connecting into our deep emotional levels making us aware of these deep levels and bringing the potential for a reworking, a rebirth of these deep levels based on insight into what is actually going on within us. This insight may come as a result of seeking to act out of these deep levels and getting feedback from the world around us. There is the potential for a reality check on the foundations of our systems during this three month period. The Sabian Symbol for the relationship of Sun to Moon is “A Man formally dressed and a Deer with its Horns folded. This symbol recognized our more primitive aggressive instincts and shows that we use formal, polite relationship patterns to guide our interactions with other. This will enable us to gain control of our more primitive aggressive instincts. Displaying power, dominance and intimidation in this time period is going against the current energy flow and will tend to undermine the accomplishment of your goals.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Saturn, Neptune: Turning Back of Pluto: Reworking of Mercury: Resolution of Uranus, {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 “!!!”}
