The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (7/21/2021), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Neptune (4*). This vibration is involved in very deep analysis to figure out what is effective and what doesn’t work. It studies patterns and figures out what works in them. It is especially focused on patterns where the mind is reaching out to find that which is out of this world, amazing, inspirational.. This is only one of several patterns none of which are very strong. Others are getting deeply immersed in something to the point where it transforms you; interacting with others with a direct immediacy that is visceral and expansive; and feeling a need to analyze what you are dealing with to figure out what the essential core of it is. You most likely will be drawn to whichever of these resonates most strongly with you. Thus today you may get a clear opportunity to tune into something important about yourself.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
23 (1*) Follows One’s Personal Intuition; Takes Risks
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Neptune
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are being open to hints from the past, enabling you to take time and nurture your growth in knowledge of the unknown vastness, to connect to a greater sense of life, and to recognize patterns that encompass you but are more than you. You are embracing your responsibility to care for your children, needing to open up closed areas within yourself, searching and searching for more knowledge and new concepts and really working hard to find them . You are relying on your internal resources and preparation rather than using others as your reference point in order to move through very challenging, demanding circumstances with strength, determination, and endurance, cleansing your ego and letting go of self absorption. You are truly grounding within yourself in the essence of yourself, recognizing your boundaries and empowering yourself while learning how to balance your needs against the needs of those around you. The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are rushing into situations expecting to have everything dropped in your lap immediately without any work on your part. You are looking to others to care for you and your children, failing to accept your responsibilities, blaming others for your problems. You are depending on others in very demanding situations refusing to prepare properly yourself and turning to others when you find yourself coming up short without the resources and reserves necessary to complete your tasks. You are putting boundaries between yourself and your community and the rest of the world, feeling alienated and deserted and alone.

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}
At 8:37 PM the Moon enters Virgo and is there for 26 days bringing the sense of an elusive perfection that you would like to express here on earth. This can result in a desire to fix things that are not working the way they “should”.
Jul 21 – Jul 23 (exact Jul 22) Venus in Virgo is opposing Jupiter in Pisces. This vibe begins to influence us around 2 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 8:45 AM on July 22 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on July 23. This vibration is very expansive being attracted to and wanting to open up to beauty. There is a desire to expand your connections to others. This is an especially good energy for social interactions.
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 5:08 AM, peaking at 7:08 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period is motivated to be involved in other worldly magical fascinating experiences. If you open up you may find something special happening.
Starting at 8:06 AM, peaking at 10:06 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Leo. This 4 hr period brings a flowing energy that can do many things. It is important to direct this energy in to constructive expression and do something as it can get frustrated or feel blocked and react in uncomfortable ways.
Starting at 4:25 PM, peaking at 6:25 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period is about being with those you are closest to. This is your time for soul connections.
At 6:36 PM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
Starting at 5:41 PM, peaking at 7:41 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is sharing freely (sextile) with Jupiter in Pisces. This 4 hr period is emotionally expansive and optimistic. This works well in social interactions, not so well for business planning.
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 17 the First Quarter Moon Phase peaked with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon in Libra. This vibration will be influencing us for the next week until the Full Moon on July 23. This vibration brings a great deal of intensity. Whatever you have been committed to you are likely to increase your emphasis on it. This is combined with a lot of exploration and interaction with the world around you which could lead to seeing things from a new perspective and perhaps coming up with new solutions to old problems. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Contentment and happiness in luxury, people reading on davenports”. This points to the need to retreat to a place of quiet and reflect on where and how you can open up and explore the new awarenesses and connections within yourself. This is a time to connect into your authentic self and not have the influences and expectations of others repress you or inhibit you. The Moon Symbol is “An Eagle and a large white Dove turning one into the other”. This refers to you leaning to balance power and love using each to temper the other. This can enable you to develop a deeply grounded connection that is open to both the emotional and spiritual realms.
On July 9 the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 8. This vibration is very intense. There are intense emotional feelings that you are likely to connect into at this time and share with others. This is combined with making connections into the natural world and seeing the light of the divine shining through everything around you. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Priest performing a Marriage Ceremony” which relates to us each having a buried other within us. We need to connect in with that other and make it a part of our essence, Put in other words we need to marry it. This enables us to form a wholeness within which includes both the mind and the emotions. The challenge in this symbol is to be willing to connect into ourselves deeply.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This vibration will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22. There is potential for expansion and growth this summer. The summer energy contains a sense of moderation involving acting in a considerate harmonious way but there will likely be some change, some action to open up to new patterns and ways of operating. A strong Sabian Symbol for the summer is “A Fellowship Supper” which refers to reaching out to others, sharing companionably with them, forming, and renewing feelings of fellowship and bonding, breaking through feelings of alienation all for the purpose of healing your lines of connection. If you refuse to reconnect with others out of fears of facing and dealing with past issues and old secrets, you may have a sense of having lost some important part of yourself.
On June 10 a New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Gemini. This finishes the Eclipse Season and these patterns will be influencing us until the start of the next Eclipse Season on November 19. This Solar Eclipse is especially working on our mental patterns. It brings a focus on the mind and how your dreams and visions of life are being reflected in your experience. It is about exploring the world and interacting with what is around you in playful and creative ways. There is the potential here for discovering new relationships and connections with the people and the environment around you. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Cafeteria” which focuses on the abundance of choices available to you in your world and your opportunity to select which of these choices is right for you, which will nourish you and your life. When you know what is right for you then you need to deliberately select it, pay for it and make it a part of your essence. It is important that you only take what you truly need, leaving the rest for others.
On May 26 a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius. This vibration will be influencing us until the New Moon Solar Eclipse on June 10. This is the start of the Eclipse Season. This vibration is focused on taking action and doing the things that it is essential for you to do to express yourself authentically. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Drilling for Oil” which refers to you digging down into the ancient strata looking for that which has been formed deep within you. You recognize the pressure that these old structures generate and seek to release the energy that is bound up in these deep patterns. There is a warning not to scatter your energy in superficial pursuits that will let you avoid the deep work that is called for at this time. The Moon Symbol is “A Game of Cricket”. This refers to the process of learning the rules of interfacing with the physical and spiritual realms and following these rules so you can effectively play the game. It cautions against acting arbitrarily, refusing to play by the rules of the game and that if you do you will likely receive harsh reactions and perhaps be rejected by others.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Saturn
Turning Backward of Uranus, Neptune: Reworking 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 “!”}
