The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 5:32 PM EST, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Sagittarius.
Mercury leaves its Shadow today and will be clear until April 26, 2022
Today, Wednesday (2/23/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Venus and Mars joining with Neptune (2*). The strongest vibrational pattern today involves interacting with others in a harmonious way. Today is a day to be sensitive to what the other person is feeling and seek to communicate your ideas in a way that is comfortable for those you are interacting with. This vibration contains a sense of something extraordinary in life, seeing the magic in your everyday experiences. There is a particular focus on direct hands-on experience whether it is working in your garden, making a meal from scratch or painting a room so that it better expresses the energy you want to be there. This is a day to do something exceptional, to work on fulfilling a dream. (For VA Students: 6, 12, 18, 24)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
7 (2*) Quiet, introverted, meditative, observant, forming own internal reality.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Mars, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are gracefully accepting that you have been defeated in your attempts to reach your goal, learning the lessons of your experiences, revising your goals appropriately, transforming setbacks into accomplishments. You are receiving recognition for having continued to work and struggle towards your goal despite all obstacles and defeats. 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. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are focusing on your losses and limitations, taking your losses as a reflection of your lack of worth and ability, and surrendering when you could have prevailed or refusing to acknowledge any limitations or issues of your own and turning a minor defeat into a major disaster. 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 pretending to connect into other realms, putting on a performance, and making up messages in order to gain your own ends.
22 Capricorn = Venus merging with Mars [A general accepting defeat gracefully]

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}
Feb 23 – Feb 25 (exact Feb 24) Venus in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 1 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:04 AM on Feb 24 then decreasing fading out around 9 PM on Feb 25. This vibration idealizes beauty and is especially interesting in sharing this idealized beauty with others. This can be visiting a rose garden that is blooming or sharing beautiful art with friends at a museum. It can be any beautiful experience that feels amazing and magical.
Feb 22 – Feb 25 (exact Feb 23) Mars in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:12 PM then decreasing fading out around 1 AM on Feb 25. This vibration is about taking actions to seek to achieve your dreams. This is about building the world you have been dreaming of, the world that would just feel amazing to be living in.
Feb 11 – Mar 12 (exact Feb 16) Venus in Capricorn is joining with Mars in Capricorn. This vibe was increasing in influence until it peaked when Mars passed Venus at 9:28 AM on Feb 16 then Venus started speeding up to get back to normal speed after her retrograde and will catch up with and pulls ahead of Mars at 2:12 AM on Mar 6 then their interaction decreases and fades out around 1 PM on Mar 12. This vibration is concerned with real direct experiences of the world around you and has a strong desire to make the world you live in more beautiful. This can involve cooking, decorating, gardening, or making beautiful items out of natural substances. This can also bring some special feelings of love and passion. So let it flow and enjoy!
The Moods of the Moon.
{Remember that the quicker Moon patterns impact our moods and feelings for a short window of time around 4 hours, 2 hours each side of the exact position.}
Starting at 2:24 AM, peaking at 4:24 AM, the Moon in Scorpio 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.
At 8:29 AM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
At 5:32 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Pisces. This is the Third Quarter Moon Phase. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary
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.}
At 5:32 PM EST, the Third Quarter Moon occurs with the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 2. This vibration is very energized. This is about taking actions that you have considered and worked through and planned for a long time. There is also a sweetness and a loving energy if you can tap into it. It is kind of drowned out by the very active energies this moon phase contains. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Officers on Dress Parade”. This has an uplifting pattern related to displaying the disciplined orderly aspects of yourself, building up your strength, and seeking to keep the more disreputable aspects under control. The more dysfunctional expression of this symbol relates to you using the display of your strength and control and power to dominate, control and suppress any opposition. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. The uplifting pattern for this symbol relates to learning the rules of interfacing the spiritual and the physical and following those rules to play the game. The more dysfunctional expression involves refusing to play by the rules of the game and receiving harsh reactions and possibly being rejected by others.
On February 16, the Full Moon occurred with the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 2. This vibrational pattern brings us in touch with our feelings of restlessness and dissatisfaction with our failure to act upon our ideals, dreams and visions for what life could be like. This brings a restless seeking for something that will work better. This involves actually finding what we all know we need and joining together harmoniously to make this happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Tree Felled and Sawed” which relates to letting go of old ego patterns that would meet your needs whatever the cost to others and instead moving into an awareness that we need answers that work for all of us. The Moon Symbol is “Many Little Birds on the Limb of a Large Tree” which helps us to find the things we have in common as we resolve confusion by stepping back, relaxing and seeking to express what we each know and sense in a coherent way while integrating our ideas with everyone else’s to find what we have in common.
On February 1 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aquarius. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on March 2. This vibrational pattern points to two conflicting influences, the need to be responsible and do what will last through the ages and the need to do what you feel like in the moment. There is also an awareness here of the importance of directly participating in life in a real nitty gritty way. There is more going on that people can see and this calls for tuning into the mystery and then acting based on your analysis and intuition seeking to understand that which is foreign to you. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Barometer” which is about tuning into the fluctuations in the people and environment around you, recognizing the patterns that are in the process of forming and thus being able to predict and guide unfolding events. There is a potential for getting so caught up in the unfolding currents that you become blind to the patterns that are present.
On December 21, the Winter Solstice occurred with the Sun entering Capricorn and the Moon in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern is about the importance and the beauty of old patterns and a very strong attraction to this. This is combined with a sense of the importance of the unique way each person can make contributions to life by connecting in with and expressing the unique essence within them. There is encouragement here to spend time inside yourself connecting into who you are in your core and to work on how that fits into the world around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun to Moon interaction is “Two Angels bringing Protection”. This encourages you to open up to the protection of the divine that is being offered to both your conscious and unconscious selves. Be open to people appearing to help just when you need them.
On December 4, a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Sagittarius. This is the final event of this eclipse season. It will be influencing us at least until the start of the next Eclipse Season on April 30, 2022. There is a special emphasis in this Eclipse on evaluating the patterns we are living by. It is especially important to consider the strengths and weaknesses of the ways that we have been understanding the world. There is a restlessness and a need to move out and find a different world that will work more effectively and be more satisfactory. The Sabian Symbol for the Eclipse is “A Widow’s Past brought to Light”. This is about facing your past actions, the destructiveness, and blindness that you have been involved in and taking responsibility for them. The emphasis is on working on the distorted patterns within you, making amends, and forgiving yourself and others so that you can make a new beginning.
On November 19, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun 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 30, 2022. This Vibrational Pattern involves the Sun and Moon especially strongly interacting with Mercury. This shows that emotional patterns and history will be very important during this next 5 months. There is a focus on creating programs, concepts that are acceptable to everybody involved. There is also an awareness of the needs of people and how they are or are not being met. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The King of the Fairies approaching his Domain” which points to the importance of understanding your true essence, the domain within the core of your being where you’re truly and confidently in command of yourself. If you are not in touch with the core of your being you may try to use control to prove your superiority. The Moon Symbol is “A Woman pursued by Mature Romance”. This is about participating in a mature type of love that involves a greater awareness of your interconnectivity to others. There is a warning to not closing down to love because you are being guided by social expectations of what love means and what types of love are permissible.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury
Introductory Contact for Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Neptune
{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 “!”}
