The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
At 7:36 AM EST on January 29, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius.
Today, Wednesday (1/29/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Pluto (2*). This vibrational energy pattern is about seeking to achieve your goals in a way that is in alignment with the people around you. You will evaluate your goals to see if the way you are proceeding is actually accomplishing what you want and need to accomplish and you may make extensive internal plans that you implement at the right moment. There is a lot of analysis figuring out what is really fundamentally important and that is what you proceed to implement. (For VA Students: 8, 16, 24, 32)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by working with others as an equal partner with each person taking equal responsibility for the outcome. It is important to tap into and develop your unique individuality and to use the universal pattern as your guide when seeking to complete or fix a problem.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
13 (4*) Internally focused on connecting into and expressing your true self, moving beyond Average or Mediocre
1 (4*) Doing things your own way, evaluating the ideas of others and only changing if you agree with them
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are experiencing sudden unexpected awarenesses, crashing into your mind sharply, illuminating the hidden realms within the current reality. You are entering into a process of transformative rebirth, experiencing renewed faith in life that is triumphing over doubt, fear and loss. You are discovering that the organized structures for dealing with life are too narrow and inadequate, finding that you must operate based on the awareness and sense of connection within you, refusing to be subject to outside authorities, recognizing and accepting the consequences of your actions. You are experiencing a greater reality that encompasses everything, passionately sharing this inspiring vision with others.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are losing control and exploding emotionally without warning, lashing out with the backlog of emotions that you have bottled up inside yourself. You are putting on a show, driven by a superficial craving for attention, pretending to joy while feeling lost and guilty and inadequate within yourself. You are rebelliously rejecting social structures and their expectations out of immaturity while ignoring the consequences of your actions, causing damage to yourself and all those around you. You are manipulating and exploiting those around you claiming that you have all the answers and that you should be deferred to.

The 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 a couple of hours either side of the exact time of the aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}
Jan 29 – Jan 31 (exact Jan 30) the Sun in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. This energy begins to influence us around 6 PM on Jan. 29 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:59 PM on Jan. 30 then decreasing fading out around 5:30 PM on Jan. 31. This vibrational energy pattern brings an expansive flow of growth. This is usually felt as a very positive experience. This is a good time to work on something you have been seeking to accomplish.
Jan 28 – Jan 29 (exact Jan 29) Mercury in Aquarius is joining with Pluto in Aquarius. This energy is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:52 AM on Jan. 29 then decreasing fading out around 6 PM on Jan. 29. This vibrational energy pattern is about an intense focusing of your thought. You may have a thought or idea that keeps on coming up over and over.
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.}
At 7:36 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is joining with the Sun in Aquarius. This is the New Moon. See the Cyclic Patterns Diary.
Starting at 8:08 AM, peaking at 10:08 AM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Jupiter in Gemini. In this 4 hr period there is a sense of emotional openness and expansion within you. This can feel either good or bad depending on what your general feeling at the time is but it will tend to be optimistic.
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 7:36 AM EST on January 29, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Aquarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on February 27, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings expansion and growth. There is a potential here for a rebirth of a deep awareness of what is core and fundamental in our lives. It may feel a bit like waking up from a dream. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Popularity that proves ephemeral”. This is about remaining true to your sense of yourself and your personal integrity, even if it means losing the approval and adulation that you have been receiving from others. There is a warning here that if you get caught up in doing whatever you need to do to remain popular, that you may lose track of who you really are.
On December 21, the Sun entered Capricorn. This is the Winter Solstice and this pattern will be influencing us until the Spring Equinox on March 20. This vibrational energy includes energies for emotional expansion. There is a focus on internal work and awareness where you evaluate and develop your internal self. The process would be to eliminate superficial energies from within yourself and to work on deepening your internal awareness and connections. The Sabian Symbol for the Winter Solstice is “The Germ grows into Knowledge and Life”. Here you find a germ of potential understanding within you and you work on developing and growing that new awareness, expanding your knowledge and connection with life. There are potential problems if you let your insecurity keep you from opening up to the broader truths in the situation.
On October 2, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern shows a strong need for the freedom to express yourself as you feel inside. This involves the development of your own unique pattern of expression being within your culture but free to operate as who you truly are with the awarenesses you have developed. If this is blocked there is likely to be a strong sense of dissatisfaction where you join with others and reach out seeking to find another more satisfactory place. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Professor peering over his Glasses” which encourages you to move beyond your normal mode of perception to perceive a more comprehensive reality where others are viewed kindly, seriously and with respect.. The challenge is to not get caught up in a superior position that distorts your perception and leads to you seeing others as inferior to you where they need to be bossed around for their own good.
On September 17, 2024, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Pisces and the Sun in Virgo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on March 14, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a focus on dreams and ideals that last past death. This is about tuning into the long term patterns of unfolding evolving awareness that transcend the resistance of the moment. There is a major focus in this eclipse on evaluation of your motives and drives to be sure you are getting the result you want. There is also a balancing of your individual view of life against what works for everyone else. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Boy with a Censer” which involves learning how to expand your awareness and accept responsibility for both yourself and your interactions with others by modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed. The Moon Symbol is “A New Moon that divides its Influences” which involves learning how to operate effectively in both the spiritual and the earthly realms based on a new vision and finding your unique way to respond to that vision. If you do not realize that everyone is connected you may start feeling alone and isolated.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Phase of Venus, Pluto2: Reworking of Mars: Turning Forward of Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune: Resolution of Saturn, Pluto1 {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 “!!!”}
