The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (8/5/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Venus joining with Neptune (1*). This vibration has you feeling restless and dissatisfied with the world you are experiencing and reaching out and seeking something that will be more satisfying that you can share with others. This is about tuning into your dreams and your sense that there is a better more loving more caring world out there somewhere. You will tend to do things to change your world to bring it more in line with what you sense is possible. This is combined with the foundational vibration of Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto which brings growth this year in a step by step expansion of your awareness.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, and Neptune
The message from the featured planet positions is that when your feelings are over-whelming you that you need to pull back and give yourself some space to evaluate. This is the beginning of a shift that will come as you imitate the patterns of those around you developing a passionate sensitivity that will guide you in handling energies that seem out of control knowing when to stop and when to start as you are reminded again that all levels of consciousness have value and worth and need to be supported.
| 1 Leo = Mercury (with Venus) |
| A case of apoplexy |
| You are pulling back, giving yourself some space to evaluate, when experiencing overwhelming feelings that rise up suddenly inside you and/or you are being overwhelmed by your feelings bursting forth from you in an uninhibited response, caused by an overinflated ego that is going into spasms because of its hyper-inflated status |
| 29 Gemini = Venus |
| The first mockingbird of spring |
| You are experiencing a new beginning where you can imitate the more successful patterns of those around you, combine and improve on them to develop your unique creative expression, and begin to develop your latent personal potentials through osmosis from others and/or you are copying the work and ideas of others without giving them credit or blocking your creativity through focusing on cheap imitations and loudly claiming them as your own |
| 2 Leo = Mercury (with Neptune) |
| An epidemic of mumps |
| You are developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world, learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them when they start spiraling out of control and/or you are experiencing the hubris of an overinflated ego that is seeking to spread out like a disease, destroying those opposed to you |
| 21 Pisces = Neptune |
| A little white lamb, a child and a Chinese servant |
| You are recognizing the value of all levels of consciousness, seeking to serve and teach those who know less than you do in a gentle loving manner, recognizing that you’re learning from everything around you and/or you are separating yourself from those who are perceived as having less status than you, acting like a spoiled brat and seeming to get away with it, failing to take responsibility for yourself |
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
11 (1*) Dissatisfaction, Restless Seeking of something different
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}
Aug 1 – Aug 6 (exact Aug 4) Mars in Aries is acting and agitating (square) with Jupiter in Capricorn. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 1 PM on August 6. This vibration is a strong drive with a lot of energy behind it that is working on helping you grow and expand either yourself or your projects. There is potential for success here. This is a time to go for it!
Jul 18- Aug 7 (exact Jul 27) Jupiter in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 2 AM on August 7. This vibration is especially focused on expanding your dreams through sharing with others in harmonious ways and through collaboration with like minded people.
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 5:01 PM, peaking at 7:01 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period brings a feeling of spontaneity and a need for freedom to do what you feel like impulsively.
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 3 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 August 18. This vibration is intensely spontaneous and attracted to finding new beautiful relationships. These may but are not necessarily romantic relationships. There is a strong need for freedom and a strong likelihood that you will react in this vibration. You may be prone to sense things intuitively and react to them without realizing initially what you are reacting to. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An evening lawn party” which is encouraging you to branch out into new places and expand your awareness. The Moon Symbol is “People on stairs graduated upwards”. This is about recognizing that there are many levels of awareness and seeing clearly what you have learned and that you still have a lot to learn.
On July 20 the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 18. This vibrational pattern brings a sensitivity to what those around you are experiencing with a strong desire to take action that will lead to a better future for everyone. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Muse weighing twins”. This is about recognizing that you consider all the factors and collect as much information as you reasonably can and then you make an intuitive decision about which way to go. You are warned to not seek perfection, it will keep you from making a decision and doing what needs to be done.
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: NO DEGREE CHANGES today
Introductory Contact for Mars: Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking Patterns of Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto: Resolution of Venus
{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.}
