The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (7/23/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Saturn and Neptune (4*). This vibrational energy pattern is about actively seeking to have a flow of energy in your life. You are sensitive to the people around you and carefully communicating in ways that will be comfortable for others even if that makes you very uncomfortable. There is a vision you are carrying that you are willing to focus on the pursuit of. For VA Students (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by building a safe space where you and those you care about can be able to relax and truly be yourselves. This works better if you each take responsibility for yourselves and your communication and realize that you are all connected in a network that affects you all.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are developing a passionate sensitiveness to everything in yourself and in the world, learning how and when patterns start and how best to stop them when they start spiraling out of control. You are using humor and the resulting objectivity to make a clear analysis of the world around you, moving beyond a subjective emotional viewpoint. You are cutting back on the excesses of ego display, finding appropriate expressions of your innate sense of yourself. You are connecting into your cultural inheritance letting it shape you, recognizing that this enables you to effectively express yourself within the context of the world around you.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are experiencing the arrogant pride and presumptuousness of an overinflated ego that is seeking to spread out like a disease, destroying those opposed to it. You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously. You are creating an illusion that is not really you so that you can be accepted by others. You are getting swallowed up by your cultural pattern, becoming a caricature of your racial or cultural stereotypes.

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 o fthe aspect. The longer patterns are stronger and so are listed here, followed by a section on the Moods of the Moon}.
Jul 23 – Jul 25 (exact Jul 24) the Sun in Leo is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Aries. This energy begins to influence us around 1 PM on Jul 23 and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:31 PM on Jul 24 then it is decreasing fading out around 2 PM on Jul 25.

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 Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Aries and the Sun in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 24, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern is very powerful, more powerful than usual. At the exact time of the Quarter Moon Phase, the Moon is right on Eris (4 minutes). This strongly emphasizes emotional inclusiveness over the next week. People who act in exclusive restrictive ways are likely to have serious consequences to their actions. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Contentment and Happiness in Luxury, People reading on Davenports”. This is about relaxing in a safe space with others where you can truly be yourself and explore the new awareness and connections within yourself. You find you are gaining insights from the books and people you are sharing with. If you are unable to share yourself authentically, you are likely to feel left out and isolated, perhaps repressed and inhibited by the expectations within and around you. The Symbol for the Moon is “Game Birds feathering their Nests”. This represents developing a greater awareness of the nature of your interaction with all that is around you. You find that you are seeing more clearly the patterns that are developing and that you are learning from your interactions and exchanges with other people and with the world around you.
On July 10, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 24, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern involves the operation of large energy patterns that extend beyond the personal experience of the individuals involved. There is an emphasis here on learning new things that can help make life work better and recognizing the value and beauty of each person. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Priest performing a Marriage Ceremony” which is about using ritual to bond in a permanent equal exchange recognizing that you still have a lot to learn. There is a call here to move beyond social expectations to reach an understanding of a deeper kind of relationship. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Child of about five with a huge Shopping Bag”. This is about opening up to the possibility of a different type of life where abundance is flowing into and through you.
On June 25, the New Moon occurs with the Moon and Sun in Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on July 24, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern involves a strong drive to act and do something new. There is an emotional need to take big actions that will express your dreams and visions. How effective your action will be will be related to how well you are tuned into the patterns operating on deeper levels, patterns that transcend the confusion and fog of our fantasies and rise into a pure sense of a deeper truth. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “An Automobile Wrecked by a Train”. Here you are challenged to set aside your feelings and pay attention to what is really going on around you. This lets you see the dangers and move into safer places. If you are distracted by your feelings, not paying attention, and not observing what is going on around you, you may not realize the dangerous place you are in which could result in you having a serious accident.
On June 20, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 22, 2025. This Vibrational Energy Pattern lays out adjustments we are challenged to make in our lives as we each learn to tune into our own unique awareness of how life needs to be lived to work well for us and others. The first adjustment is to learn to take action based on our discrimination of truth vs deception. Secondly there is a challenge to learn when one must act and be willing to do that. Finally we are challenged to learn how to take really big actions that move us into a different level of interaction with the world around us. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun Moon relationship at the Summer Solstice is “A Peacock parading on an Ancient Lawn” which is about each of us recognizing that there is an ancient foundational pattern in the core of each person’s being that is manifesting through you and that this foundational pattern supports the unfolding of the natural beauty and delightful rightness that you carry within you. This is your time to embrace and celebrate this pattern surging up through you.
On March 29, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Aries. This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon Solar Eclipse on September 21, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern brings a sense of dissatisfaction and a restless searching that is reaching out to find something more satisfactory. There is a sense of connecting into another level of awareness that is idealistic and visionary. This awareness can either open you up to amazing deep spiritual truths or bring a sense of confusion and deceit and betrayal that needs to be penetrated to get to the truths underneath it. The Sabian Symbol for the New MoonSolar Eclipse is “A False Call unheard in attention to Immediate Service”. This is about totally focusing on the immediate project or development in which you’re engaged, ignoring all distractions, operating from a state of personal completion and fulfillment. Remaining focused at this time enables you to pursue the opportunities available to you.
On March 14, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces. This pattern will be influencing us until the next Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on September 7, 2025. This vibrational energy pattern helps us connect into what we really feel deep inside of us. It encourages us to be true to those internal feelings. This can involve letting go of some emotional feelings that do not really serve us. There is a strong focus on working with others helping them to connect into the deep patterns within them that show who they really are. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An Inhabited Island” which is about you 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. Take care to not be putting restrictive boundaries between yourself and those around you and focus only on yourself feeling alienated, deserted and alone. The Moon Symbol is “Mary and her little Lamb”, which is about loving yourself and those around you, operating based on love, kindness and friendship for mutual support, while maintaining your boundaries and your sense of self-integrity. There is a danger here of you or the other person becoming overly dependent on the other.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period for Uranus: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking of Mercury, 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.
