The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (12/28/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Uranus (3*). This vibrational energy is seeking to connect into the unique radiant shining core within you and express it in your life. There is also a strong appreciation for this beautiful light shining through those you interact with. This vibe is seeking to get to the essential core within you. There is a need here to operate from your own sense of life that you formulate within you. You are going to want to do things your own way today and to refuse to follow the patterns of others. (For VA Students: 13, 26)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are finding that working in coordination with others is the most effective way to succeed even in situations where you must fight to defend your home and your values. You are opening yourself up to new responses that have not seemed natural to you in the past, discovering new modes of self-expression. You are developing your skill and power within a structured group, learning respect for everyone and developing skills in group interaction. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are operating in a rational, evaluative way that is balanced with intuitive awareness, experiencing a natural balance that enables you to respond appropriately in each situation. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are continuing to seek to control others from a position of superiority and failing, finding that the load is too great to carry all by yourself. You are sacrificing a true sense of yourself to please those around you. You are showing off and seeking to establish yourself as better than others, looking down on those who are not as skilled as yourself. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are being obsessed with work, constantly seeking to further your own ends, focusing on being in charge and in control of everything around you.

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 here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Dec 28 – Dec 30 (exact Dec 29) Mercury in Capricorn is joining with Venus in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us at around 1:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:59 AM on Dec. 29, then decreasing and fading out around 3 AM on Dec. 30. This vibration is about beautiful thoughts that you are writing, including possibly poetry. It is also excellent for being able to express yourself well speaking with others.
Dec 27 – Dec 28 (exact Dec 28) Venus in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 3:32 AM, then decreasing and fading out around 11 PM. This vibration is about attraction to beauty as an ideal that yields a type of objectivity that lets you see how everything is connected to everything else. This is an especially good time for artistic inspiration. You can tune into your dreams and connect with many different kinds of people to attract your dreams to you. There is a certain ability to step back and evaluate how to most effectively accomplish this. It brings a desire to share magical wondrous experience with others. This is about a feeling that you have left the ordinary world and stepped into some amazing place where everything glitters. This could be going to a restaurant which has an ambiance that is especially amazing or going out to some unusual natural feature or watching the sunset or sunrise and feeling the amazing majesty of the Sun as we circle it and see it rising and setting as the earth turns. This can also be opening up and sensing the wonder if everyday events that we normally ignore.
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 2:02 AM, peaking at 4:02 AM, 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 3:05 PM, peaking at 5:05 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.
Starting at 4:25 PM, peaking at 6:25 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 5:43 PM, peaking at 7:43 PM, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Capricorn. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 11:22 PM, peaking at 1:22 AM on Dec. 29, the Moon in Pisces is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn.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 December 23rd, the New Moon occurred with the Sun in Capricorn conjunct with the Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on January 21. This vibrational energy treasures old patterns and traditions and is devoted to the mother. There is a flow of analysis in this pattern that just deepens it and helps us all appreciate the essentials that are present. This is about sharing community energy together in a loving way. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment”. This symbol is about repairing the damage done to love and beauty by aggressive violence, healing the deep wounds and blockages within you, gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself and give it to others. If you’re unable to tap into this energy, you may start feeling obsessively afraid, damaged and totally vulnerable, without protection, having no place to run or hide.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Capricorn. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy brings a sense of spontaneous joy on the surface. On a deeper level there is an awareness of the importance of community and concern for the places where community fails and people fall through the cracks. There seems to be a strong emphasis, this season, on finding ways to more effectively respond to those among us who are not being supported by community in a good way. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “A jockey”. It comes from the relationship of the Sun to the Moon and it means you are learning how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Try not to rush ahead without thought, getting carried away; seeking to win at all costs and finding that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Turning back of Mercury: Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Neptune: Resolution 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!”}
