The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (12/9/20) the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Jupiter and Saturn joining with Pluto (1*). This vibration is the foundational influence this year focused on the need to grow and expand in a step-by-step process both within ourselves and in our interactions with others. This is combined with the restlessness and dissatisfaction of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune which feels a need to reach out to new and different places to find something that is more satisfactory. Together these vibrations give us a real push towards transformation. This will continue to develop as we approach the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction on the Winter Solstice, December 21.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. You are studying the shells remaining of ancient spiritual truths, making a deeper connection to the stability underlying reality as you open up to varying perspectives on the truth.
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are strutting around seeking praise and acknowledgement for your actions, overvaluing yourself, seeking to manipulate others in order to gain rewards that you may not deserve. 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.

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}
Dec 9 – Dec 12 (exact Dec 11) the Sun in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Aries. This vibe begins to influence us around 5 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:01 AM on December 11 then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on December 12. This vibration brings a lot of energy into an easy flow within you. This is an especially good time to work on an important project. You will have a lot of energy. It is also a good time for physical activity, exercise like hiking, sports, physical projects.
Dec 9 – Dec 11 (exact Dec 10) Venus in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 12 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:52 AM on December 10 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on December 12. This vibration is about very intense irrational attractions to beauty. This can be to either a person or an object. If you find yourself feeling some of this and it does not fit your life, wait 3 days and it will pass.
Dec 8 – Dec 10 (exact Dec 9) the Sun in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:41 PM then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on December 10. This vibration is about getting in touch with your dreams for what your daily life can be like and taking action to make those dreams come true.
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 2:13 PM, peaking at 4:13 PM, the Moon in Libra is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Sagittarius. This 4 hr period is an especially good time for working on important projects since the mind and emotions are balanced and working well with each other.
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 7 the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Virgo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 14. This Quarter Moon brings a restless, dissatisfied feeling with a desire to seek some new place that will be more satisfactory. The problem is that this energy is never satisfied. There is a tug of war between responsibility and freedom of expression with an obsessive focus on your dreams to the exclusion of everything real and practical that may not reflect your dreams. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Easter Sunrise Service” which brings the possibility of transformation into a new self but only if you let go of the pain and losses of the past. The Moon Symbol is “A Volcano in Eruption” which warns you that you need to constructively release the pressure that has built up inside you. On the positive side there is the potential for an explosion of ideas and insights. On the negative side, if you hold onto and continue to build this pressure within you, you may start over-reacting in extreme ways with no concern for who or what may be damaged. It is your choice.
On November 30, there was a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on December 14. We are now in the Eclipse Season when everything gets reorganized. This vibration brings an awareness of the importance of being true to ourselves and that our true self is tuned into a greater reality of which we are a part, something greater than ourselves that we participate in. This is a call to open up to that greater reality, become one with it and be transformed by this experience. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Mother with her Children on Stairs” which reminds us that we are being guided with love and care through progressive levels of awareness and growth and this requires that we be open to help from others but that we recognize that we are each responsible for growing up and looking after ourselves rather than expecting to be taken care of. The Moon Symbol is “A Quiver filled with Arrows”. This reminds of the importance of recognizing the pain we carry within us and accepting that pain, then addressing it and working on healing it.
On November 21 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Sun in Sagittarius and the Moon in Pisces. This will be influencing us for 8 days until the Full Moon Eclipse on November 30. This vibration is very action oriented. There is a sense that there are things you have to do and have to do now. There may be cases of anger that could cause problems. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Grand Army of the Republic Campfire”. It relates to you joining with others who have similar shared traumas and being comforted by gaining a deeper understanding of what is happening recognizing that there is a sense of guidance into the future. The Moon Symbol is “A Public Market”. This is about recognizing that there is much available to you if you are willing to pay the personal price that it costs. This is about realizing what is of true worth and where someone is trying to take advantage of you by misrepresenting themselves and their goods.
On November 15, the Moon and Sun in Scorpio formed the New Moon. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse, on December 14. This New Moon is about transformative growth in a balanced way where you are contributing to the growth of those around you and they are contributing to your growth. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and Moon is “Crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one man”. This is about learning to bring your insights and inspirations into a sharp focus, evaluating what is practical and effective and weighing your awareness against the insights of others recognizing that both viewpoints need to be considered.
On September 22, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the days and nights are equal. This vibration will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern calls us to look inside of ourselves and see who we really are and whether we are being true to ourselves. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it” which involves recognizing that your personal understanding is limited and opening up to learn and flexibly relate to others and adjust based on how they are perceiving you and what they expect of you. The Moon Symbol is “A drowning man rescued”. This is about seeking help to better ground yourself and to take responsibility for your actions, learning how to be more effective.
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 Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY
Reworking Patterns of Uranus: Turning Forward Neptune: Resolution of Mars, 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 “!”}
