The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (8/25/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (0*). Today we don’t have any really strong vibrational patterns. There are several weak patterns that different people will be sensitive to depending on their own predisposition. The strongest of these patterns is Mercury, Saturn, Neptune which is related to seeking things in the world that will relate to an internal seeking of a spiritual path or a spiritual answer to life. This pattern is going to go out and interact with some spiritual pattern in the world that it wants to investigate. The second strongest pattern today is Sun, Saturn, Uranus which wants to do its own thing in its own way, but today it wants to also interact with others in a creative flow. The third strongest pattern is barely weaker than the second. It is Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto which is going to enthusiastically, independently form its own conclusions about hwo to deal with life and pick a unique path even if it is risky. Today just follow your inner urging and enjoy there are a lot of opportunities out there.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
8 (0*) Acting on Motivations & Drives
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are acting adroitly and skillfully with patience and mastery to guide and direct the strong emotional patterns and instincts within you to bring about the outcome you desire. You are experiencing various sorts of spirits operating within the mundane world, evaluating them and their messages for authenticity and depth, sharing appropriate messages with others. You are loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. You are moving into expression of your true power, bringing your ideas into concrete expression, no longer worrying about proving yourself to others. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are boasting that you’re capable and in control when you’re not, dramatically overplaying your hand and creating a dangerous situation, disregarding the possible consequences. You are pretending to connect into other realms, putting on a performance, and making up messages in order to gain your own ends. You are being so strongly attached to another person that you’re overly dependent on them or they on you expressing clinging behavior, jealousy and overprotection. You are being swept away by the power and influence of those around you, being caught up in their ideas.

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}
Aug 25 – Aug 27 (exact Aug 26) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 7 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10:23 AM on Aug 26 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Aug 27. This vibration involved deep focused thinking. This is a great time to work on an important project.
Aug 24 – Aug 25 (exact Aug 24) Mercury in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 PM. This vibration is about interacting with others based on your dreams and the thoughts you are having about your dreams and what they mean and how to make them more real. These are the things that would just make your life amazing, this is about the way you want to live.
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quick Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a window

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 22 the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aquarius is opposing the Sun in Leo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 6. The Full Moon Vibration challenges us to balance the demands of the moment and what you want to do spontaneously in this moment with your attraction to the beauty that is out of this world, that which is magical, that which feeds your soul. There is a strong need to reach out and act, but it must be done smoothly and easily in a way that just slips into the pattern that is already there. It can be very radical but it has to flow in smoothly. The Sabian symbol for the Sun is “An Unsealed Letter” which reminds us that there are no secrets and that both your assets and liabilities can be seen by others. We are each an open letter carrying the message of the divine. The symbol for the Moon is “The Field of Ardath in Bloom”. This is about embracing the path of spirit, relying on the universal flow, continuing to push forward against all odds. You are being open to learning from the ancient civilizations around you as they are manifesting in beauty and abundance learning to embrace and feed on the fruit coming from the seeds of the ancient past.
On August 8 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Leo. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on September 6. Both Uranus and Saturn are interacting with the New Moon although Uranus is much stronger. This indicates a tendency to act spontaneously this month without thinking about the consequences. There is a strong need for freedom to do what you want to do when you want to do it. This is like an echo of the energies we will be dealing with around Christmas when Saturn and Uranus will be interacting intensely. This vibration also involves a sense of the importance to interacting with the other people in your community. There is a potential here to learn some new things and expand your connections with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A nonvested Church Choir”. This is about beginning to interact with others in a relaxed and open way learning how to work effectively together in unified action. There is awarning about being overly critical of others that this comes from feeling threatened and could result in you losing your connections with your community.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. There is potential for expansion and growth this summer. The summer energy contains a sense of moderation involving acting in a considerate harmonious way but there will likely be some change, some action to open up to new patterns and ways of operating. A strong Sabian Symbol for the summer is “A Fellowship Supper” which refers to reaching out to others, sharing companionably with them, forming, and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation all for the purpose of healing your lines of connection. If you refuse to reconnect with others out of fears of facing and dealing with past issues and old secrets, you may have a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.
On June 10 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This finishes the Eclipse Season and these patterns will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on November 19. This Solar Eclipse is especially working on our mental patterns. It brings a focus on the mind and how your dreams and visions of life are being reflected in your experience. It is about exploring the world and interacting with what is around you in playful and creative ways. There is the potential here for discovering new relationships and connections with the people and the environment around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Cafeteria” which focuses on the abundance of choices available to you in your world and your opportunity to select which of these choices is right for you, which will nourish you and your life. When you know what is right for you then you need to deliberately select it, pay for it and make it a part of your essence. It is important that you only take what you truly need, leaving the rest for others.
On May 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Turning Backward of Uranus; Reworking of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune: Turning Forward of 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 “!”}
