The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (8/21/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Mars joining with Saturn and Pluto (1*). The vibrational energy pattern today is dealing with the aspects of life that we cannot predict. There are aspects of life that are unpredictable. You can and you must analyze situations and then use your intuition to make the best choice you are able to make about how to handle the unknowns coming your way. Life involves the courage to take action based on your best shot at responding when you don’t know the answer. You step out and you act evaluating what is essential in order to accomplish your goals and in the process you cut through to the really core fundamental truths that will guide your actions today and in the future. (For VA Students: 23)
The effective expression of this vibrational energy pattern calls for building a safe space where you can be natural and express who you truly are without having to pretend to meet the expectations of others. You are challenged to connect together people and ideas that do not seem to be connected and to create a structure that works for all people of good will.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (2*) A need to respond in situations where you must act before you know what is going to happen. This involves analysis followed by taking the risk of following your Personal Intuition.
4 (1*) Internal Motivation & Drive to introduce new concepts that change the world structure around you.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Mars, Saturn, Pluto >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are experiencing all the different patterns and types of awareness in life, beginning to mix & match them in interactions that compare & contrast them all in a cooperative experimental way. You are experiencing a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others. You are studying the remaining shells of ancient spiritual groups, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are pulling back from life, sitting on the edges, and watching the interactions around you; unable to connect into the flowing energy exchange around you. You are manipulating and exploiting those around you claiming that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to. 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.
22 Gemini = Mars [A barn dance] You are experiencing all the different patterns and types of awareness in life, beginning to mix & match them in interactions that compare & contrast them all in a cooperative experimental way and/or you are pulling back from life, sitting on the edges, and watching the interactions around you; unable to connect into the flowing energy exchange around you

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}
Aug 21 – Aug 24 (exact Aug 22) Venus in Virgo is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Gemini. This energy begins to influence us around 9 AM on Aug. 21 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:20 PM on Aug. 22 then decreasing fading out around 4 PM on Aug. 24. This vibrational energy pattern brings the opportunity to get deeply involved in creating a new type of beauty and understanding as you actively work, getting deeply involved in sharing new ideas with those around you.
Aug 15 – Aug 24 (exact Aug 19) Jupiter in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This energy is decreasing fading out around 12 PM on Aug. 24. This vibrational energy pattern is about taking action to expand your understanding of the fundamental truths that are at the foundation of life.
Jul 28 – Sep 4 (closest Aug 16), Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This planetary interaction begins at around 3 AM on Jul 28. It does not get exact but the closest position is on August 16. This vibe is then decreasing fading out around 11AM on Sept 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings a surge of focus on your dreams and your passionate need to pursue your dreams
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 8:45 PM yesterday, peaking at 10:45 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period calls for an evaluation of your emotional patterns to see whether you are reacting emotionally to things that do not really matter where you will not remember what upset you in an hour or a day. It is about learning to let go of emotional feelings that are not about significant long-term issues.
Starting at 9:09 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:09 PM yesterday, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Gemini. 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 12:44 AM, peaking at 2:44 AM, the Moon in Pisces is opposing Venus in Virgo. In this 4 hr period you are especially attracted to beauty that has a history to it. You also want to share with the people that you have a history with. You treasure deep soul connections that are built out of the history contained in the objects and people around you.
Starting at 2:34 AM, peaking at 4:34 AM, the Moon in Pisces is acting and agitating (square) with Mars in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you may find yourself more prone to be emotionally worked up. Doing something active will use the energy in a constructive way. Take a walk even if it’s just around the block or down the hall, do some squats, run in place, anything that uses the excess energy that is floating around right now.
Starting at 12:32 PM, peaking at 2:32 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period you are wanting to share spontaneous exciting experiences with your friends and companions. You need the freedom to be able to impulsively do what you feel like in this moment.
Starting at 3:54 PM, peaking at 5:54 PM, the Moon in Pisces is joining with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about wanting to feel the magical awesomeness of your dreams and visions and to have these be the center of the way you are living your life. You are likely to find yourself caught up in your dreams and not very connected into the dull boring everyday reality.
At 7:01 PM the Moon enters Aries. For the next 2½ days you may find you want to do your own thing, this is when it is easiest to just go out and operate and express yourself in an independent manner. This is a great time to explore something you have always wanted to look into.
Starting at 5:21 PM, peaking at 7:21 PM, the Moon in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
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 19, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings the potential for creative exploration that can discover new ideas and new ways of operating that can bring changes in our lives and the lives of those around us. This is combined with a focus on internal development and on being with others who are also seeking to develop themselves. There is the potential here for sudden, unexpected, conceptual insights that can shift our understanding of ourselves and the world. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Many Little Birds on the Limb of a Large Tree” which will help us form relationships that recognize the worth of each person as we share in exchanges of love and affirmation. Interacting superficially seeking to gain prominence, power and prestige is not likely to work well at this time. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Tree felled and sawed”, This opens the door to releasing of old ego patterns and the moving from personal needs to a focus on service to others. If you hold onto a pattern focused on personal gain you will likely find yourself pulled in many different directions with resentful feelings that keep you from participating in an integrated wholeness.
On August 4, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is about tangible achievements brought about by expanding your social connections. The most effective action is likely to be done by joining with others into an open creative community expressing independent thinking based on seeing the big picture. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Old Sea Captain Rocking” which is about contemplating all that you have been experiencing and getting it in perspective. This increases your understanding and brings guidance for future action. It is important that you stay focused in the present rather than getting caught up in memory and disconnected from the current reality.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
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 pattern 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 pe ople’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.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Jupiter: Turning Back of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking of Mercury, 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!!!”}
