The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Mercury enters its shadow today, July 17, 2024
Today, Wednesday (7/17/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mars joining with Neptune (1*). The strongest vibrational energy pattern today is a combination of creative exploration and interaction that develops an organic structure that is unique to the individual. There is a sense here of dealing with your own unique way of understanding the world around you and your sense of how it needs to be organized. This vibrational pattern is about following your dream and seeking to make it come true. (For VA Students: 25, 31)
This current vibrational energy pattern calls for looking a far distance away and seeing something amazing in the distance. You make this pattern more real by curiously exploring all facets of it especially looking deep within yourself to see how this pattern is reflected inside of you.

25 (2*) Need to participation in an open, creative community
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Sun, Mars, Neptune >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are becoming aware of and observing the storms deep within you that come from the unresolved issues and undeveloped, more primitive aspects of yourself. You are being pursued by a more mature form of love that you can open up to, bringing greater awareness of your internal beauty and your interconnections to others. You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing that everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are responding emotionally in increasingly turbulent ways, being caught up in unexpected emotional turmoil within you that may escalate into disaster. You are closing down and rejecting the love offered due to adherence to social expectations. You are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms.
27 Cancer = Sun [A storm in a canyon] You are becoming aware of and observing the storms deep within you that come from the unresolved issues and undeveloped, more primitive aspects of yourself and/or you are responding emotionally in increasingly turbulent ways, being caught up in unexpected emotional turmoil within you that may escalate into disaster
28 Taurus = Mars [A woman pursued by mature romance] You are being pursued by a more mature form of love that you can open up to, bringing greater awareness of your internal beauty and your interconnections to others and/or you are closing down and rejecting the love offered due to adherence to social expectations
30 Pisces = Neptune [The Great Stone Face] You are seeing and experiencing the wholeness that lies behind the polarized realm of time and space recognizing that everything is a manifestation of the one Spirit that is All That Is and/or you are continuing to be caught up in the illusion of many separate and distinct forms
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}
Jul 17 – Jul 19 (exact Jul 18) the Sun in Cancer is sharing freely (sextile) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe begins to influence us around 8 AM on July 17 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 10 AM on July 18 then decreasing fading out around 12 PM on July 19. This vibrational energy pattern brings something unexpected. There is a feeling for needing freedom and of acting out of that freedom spontaneously in the moment without concern for consequences or expectations.
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 9:20 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:20 PM yesterday, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. 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.
Starting at 9:08 AM, peaking at 11:08 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a very nice flow of love and good feelings. This can be a special time to share with those you care about.
Starting at 5:20 PM, peaking at 7:20 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is opposing Jupiter in Gemini. In this 4 hr period you will be feeling optimistic and expansive and wanting to expand your horizons by having new experiences and getting to know new people. This is a really good time to be involved in social interactions with other people.
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 July 13, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on July 21, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a feeling of restlessness and dissatisfaction with the status quo. There is a tendency to focus on particular ideas that you feel you must take action on. There are big feelings here and a need for large expansive action. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Meeting of a Literary Society” which brings the opportunity to connect with others in a respectful harmonious exchange of ideas where you are rigorously reevaluating everything in a search for greater meaning. The Symbol for the Moon is “Chanticleer”. This is the introduction of a new, more healed internal self that you enthusiastically welcome and share with others.
On July 5, the New Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer and the Sun in Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 4, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a subtle emphasis on tapping into the essence and foundation of the areas you are working in. The importance of accomplishing your goals in a way where you are taking into account the needs of the other people involved is highlighted. There is a potential for creative development of better patterns of operation in your communities as you seek to address the areas in your community where people are falling through the cracks. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A group of people who have overeaten and enjoyed it”. This is a reminder of the importance of working carefully and systematically in a group to test out new experiences and interactions taking one step at a time. The warning to to only move as fast as you can process your new awareness. You may have problems if you take on too much too quickly.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters Cancer. This pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings a potential for rebirth of the experience of beauty in our everyday life. There is a challenge to adjust and rebirth our dreams and visions. There is a strong sense of smooth flowing development and refinement of the inner self. This is a time to interact and explore on a deep inner level. This gives the potential for new patterns to form organically within you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon distance is “An Orangutan” which points to each of us sensing powerful primitive distortions deep within us. We are recognizing the need to refine and guide these forces into more mature expression. There is the possibility of distortion if you take for granted your right to do whatever you feel like in life without considering its effect on other people.
On April 8, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 2, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern brings us into connection with each other. We understand more and more how the life experiences of others impact our own life experiences. There is a call to support others where they need support as we also respect the importance of each person fashioning their own life pattern. There is a challenge here to learn to work together harmoniously while still respecting each person’s individual experiences and understandings. The Sabian Symbol for the Solar Eclipse is “A Young Girl feeding Birds in Winter”. Here we are making a tentative connection into and expressing the nurturing love that is the core of this realm of manifestation. This love is always there in the depths, if we will allow ourselves to connect into it, no matter what our situation. There is a warning here about trying to manipulate others by controlling what they need that they do not have access to on their own.
On March 25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on September 17, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on taking actions in ways that are compatible with the other people involved in and impacted by the actions. There is the potential here for sudden unexpected events to occur and for the results of one’s actions to have unexpected consequences. There is also an emphasis here of being able to get down to the true core patterns involved and to be able to see the real motives behind people’s actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Square brightly lighted on one side”. This symbol is about identifying your destination point and sensing the path you need to take to reach it. The Symbol for the Moon is “The Ideals of a man abundantly crystallized”. This encourages you to work internally to solidify your ideals, forming a solid foundation from which you can relate to others effectively.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Pluto: Mercury enters its shadow today >> Introductory Period for Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking of 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 “!!!”}
