The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (1/12/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mars joining with Uranus and Pluto (1*). Today’s strongest vibrational pattern is especially focused on the mystery that underlies life that we cannot define or communicate is nice easy words. There is a desire here to connect into the mystery and to reject ways of looking at life that are simple formulas that do not portray the beauty and elusiveness of the mystery. There is a real need to reach out and experience this beautiful but undefinable underpinning to life. There is the potential to have sudden insights that help you to relate more effectively to both the mystery and life here in time and space. If you can today, you may want to spend some time interacting with the mystery, this is the day to do it. (For VA Students: Vibe(s): 31)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
31 (2*) Embracing the mystery that we cannot know and thus being skeptical of simplistic answers given to life’s questions
20 (4*) A need to take action related to playful, creative exploration
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mars, Uranus, Pluto
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are working long and hard to cleanse your perception, removing whatever stains or dirties your motives and behaviors whether your work is respected by others or not. You are opening to a nourishing mist of water bringing the blessings of the divine to you right now, attuning yourself to its loving care. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling trapped and inferior, failing to appreciate your own worth, and judging yourself and others based on artificial, social standards. You are focusing on what you lack which keeps the blessings you could receive from flowing into you. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position.

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}
Jan 11 – Jan 16 (not exact) the Mercury in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is increasing in influence until it gets its closest on Jan 14 when Mercury turns retrograde then decreasing fading out around 2 PM on Jan 16. After Mercury turns direct this aspect will become exact on February 24. This vibration is about the mind operating in the moment in a spontaneous, impulsive way. This can have you feeling scattered, it can also bring sudden insights into things you have been trying to figure out.
Jan 10 – Jan 13 (exact Jan 11) Mars in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 3 AM on Jan 13. This vibration brings a strong need to seek out ways to make your dreams come true. There is a possibility of a magical almost fairy tale opportunity that you can create in your life by the actions you take right now. Your challenge is to do something that furthers your dreams.
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 1:38 AM, peaking at 3:38 AM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is about sharing your dreams with others and about going to places that are amazing and magical together.
Starting at 4:19 AM, peaking at 6:19 AM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with the Sun in Capricorn. This 4 hr period has a very nice smooth emotional flow within you that will make it easier to do whatever you need to do.
Starting at 12:39 PM, peaking at 2:39 PM, the Moon in Taurus is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This 4 hr period takes you down into your depths in an easy connection with old patterns that you need to let go of because they aren’t working well for you any more.
At 10:08 PM the Moon enters Gemini bringing 2 ½ days where your mood may be light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
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 January 9 the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries square to the Sun in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on January 17. This vibrational pattern brings a lot of internal reflection as well as deep analyses with others to figure out how to act more effectively. There is a sense of some type of emotional pattern that is being ignored or excluded that is key to how to act more effectively. The challenge is to be willing to be honest enough with yourself to be willing to acknowledge and embrace things that you don’t want to be aware of. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Hidden Choir Singing” which point to hidden messages perhaps intuitions that attune you to some hidden or spiritual level of life. There is a danger that you will fool yourself and seek to prove to others that you are very special and better than those around you. The Moon Symbol is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter” which reminds us that there is a nurturing love at the core of the realm of manifestation and even in times of apparent deprivation it is always there if you will open up and connect with it.
On January 2, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Capricorn. This vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 1.
This Vibrational Pattern has strong involvement from Uranus bringing a natural flow of impulsivity and spontaneity. There is a sense of the unique contribution that each person makes in the way they live their life and a desire to encourage them to truly be who they are. The message of this new moon would be to Reach for your dreams and open up to expressing them in your life. Let them color everything you do. The Sabian Symbol for both the Sun and Moon is “A Fire Worshiper” which calls on each of us to humbly recognize our ties to that divine essence which is at the heart of all things. This can open us to experiencing an exaltation and consummation which far transcends ambition. There is a warning about the potential of obsessing about yourself and perhaps overestimating you personal powers and abilities.
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 Mercury: Reworking of Venus: Turning Forward of Uranus, 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 “!”}
