The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Wednesday (8/19/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and the Moon joining with Mercury (1*). This vibration is about looking at our history both personally and as a culture and seeing how our past is affecting our present every day. This is about the feelings we are having and the reactions we are having to the events happening in our lives. It is especially important at this time to understand the past actions that are the foundation for the present and how much we are going to let our past control us and how much we are going to learn from our past and transform it. This applies on a personal level as well as a societal level and today take some time to sit down and become more aware of how your past is affecting the way you are operating right here right now.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Moon and Mercury
The message from the featured planet positions is about whether you can let go of your fears of change and your limiting beliefs and open up to the light of the divine releasing ego attachments and embracing your true potential, being realistic about your composite nature being both human and animal and becoming an integrated wholeness that accepts all that you are and works to bring it all to the highest level you can.
| 27 Leo = Sun, Moon |
| Daybreak |
| You are experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself and/or you are being caught up in fear of change and limiting yourself by your need to protect yourself from imaginary fears |
| 29 Leo = Mercury |
| A mermaid |
| You are accepting being a composite creature, part animal and part human, seeking to find out how to express yourself as an integrated whole and/or you are looking to others to define you and being dependent upon them for your sense of yourself, and, thus, fail to discover the uniqueness within you |
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
1 (1*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them.
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}
At 9:30 PM Mercury enters Virgo and is there until September 5 bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you tune into mentally that you would like to express here on earth both conceptually and physically. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
Aug 17 – Aug 19 (exact Aug 18) Venus in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 PM. This vibration is about sudden inspiration because of beauty. This is often romantic. It can also be a passing state, very intense when you feel it but fading out quickly.
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 11:38 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:38 AM early today August 19, the Moon in Leo is joining with Mercury in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a balance of the emotions and the mental patterns and is a great time to work on important projects.
At 4:20 AM the Moon enters Virgo and is there for 2 ½ days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
Starting at 7:52 PM, peaking at 9:52 PM, the Moon in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is quite spontaneous and impulsive with a need to be free to do what you feel like doing without external or internal restrictions.
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 August 18, the New Moon occurs with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer. This
Vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 17.
This vibration is about really thinking and evaluating what is going on inside you and around you. There is the potential here for a deep analysis that will recognize what things need to be laid aside in order for a rebirth or transformation to occur. If we move beyond our egos into a more universal spiritually based understanding then we will know what to do.
The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and the Moon is “Daybreak”. This is about experiencing the light of the divine beginning to shine through you, showing your true potential, replacing your ego as the source of yourself. This happens as you open your intuition and clearly see the pattern within you and around you.
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 Sun entered Cancer on June 20. This is the Summer Solstice, one of the 4 seasonal turning points for the year. This will be influencing us for 3 months until the Fall Equinox on September 22. This vibration is about working things through in your mind and then acting on what you figure out. The Sabian Symbol for the Moon is “Winter Frost in the Woods”. This is about each of us having all the excess trimmed away so that we can connect in with the bare essential structure within us and connect in with our innate strength. You deal with feelings of fear and loss by connecting into the core of yourself, the spiritual center of your being. This leads to you opening yourself up to the wonder and mystery of life and developing a greater awareness of your connection with others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES: Mars
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, 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.}
