The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (7/31/2024), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun and Mercury joining with Uranus (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today is interacting with and exploring the world around us, playing with the different things we encounter as we explore our interests. There is a delight in experiencing the world in this vibration. You may find you are able to think outside of the box with this pattern. There is the potential for sudden new insights and the discovery of new relationships and new patterns in areas that you thought you understood. Now is when you can reinvent yourself and the world. (For VA Students: 15, 30)
This current vibrational energy pattern is best expressed through a process of organic growth where you are developing your own awareness in your own way at your own pace. This is about being attuned to what you really need and developing yourself in a way that is genuine and true to who you are.
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
15 (1*) Free-flowing Play and Creative exploration
23 (1*) A need to respond in situations where you must act before you know what is going to happen. This involves analysis followed by taking the risk of following your Personal Intuition.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets:, Sun, Mercury, Uranus >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are opening to the protection of the divine, being brought to you in both the conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself, finding yourself connected with an inner sense of guidance, with people appearing to help just when you need them. You are paying the price required to open up to the deeper level within yourself by forging a path through your blocks and issues enabling you to make a superficial connection with the beautiful spirit light within your core. You are opening up to the light of the spirit gently nourishing you, renewing and refreshing you after a long dark night of doubt and fear where you were depressed and isolated from everything. You are recognizing that you have distorted some of the aspects of yourself, by not accepting part of what you are and you’re clearing out your distortions, and beginning to embrace and enjoy the aspects of yourself that you have rejected in the past.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are feeling lost and alone, without help, losing faith in the goodness of life and expecting that others will pick up the pieces without you putting forth any effort, or resisting help in order to hang onto your wounds. You are refusing to connect into the deeper level within you, devaluing or overvaluing yourself based on external conditions. You are turning away from the dawning light of a new day, holding onto the darkness, staying caught in depression and, being unable to see answers that are right in front of you. You are rejecting some of your greatest gifts and insights out of fear of facing your distortions or fear of the reaction of those around you.

10 Leo = Sun [Early morning dew] You are opening up to the light of the spirit gently nourishing you, renewing and refreshing you after a long dark night of doubt and fear where you were depressed and isolated from everything and/or you are turning away from the dawning light of a new day, holding onto the darkness, staying caught in depression and, being unable to see answers that are right in front of you
4 Virgo = Mercury interaction with the Sun [A black child playing with white children] You are recognizing that you have distorted some of the aspects of yourself, by not accepting part of what you are and you’re clearing out your distortions, and beginning to embrace and enjoy the aspects of yourself that you have rejected in the past and/or you are rejecting some of your greatest gifts and insights out of fear of facing your distortions or fear of the reaction of those around you
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 28 – Sep 4 (closest Aug 16), Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. This planetary interaction begins at around 3 AM on Jul 28. It does not get exact but the closest position is on August 16. This vibe is then decreasing fading out around 11AM on Sept 4. This vibrational energy pattern brings a surge of focus on your dreams and your passionate need to pursue your dreams
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 12:41 AM, peaking at 2:41 AM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
Starting at 11:33 AM, peaking at 1:33 PM, the Moon in Gemini is sharing freely (sextile) with Venus in Leo. In this 4 hr period you especially want to experience loving interactions with those that you are closest to, especially those with whom you feel a soul connection.
Starting at 8:46 PM, peaking at 10:46 PM, the Moon in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period highlights your dreams and is a great time to do anything that is especially magical for you, like visiting some special place that you love to go to. There may be some feelings of disconnection from the everyday world and perhaps a sense of fuzziness or vagueness. It will pass as the Moon moves beyond Neptune.
At 11:19 PM the Moon enters Cancer, staying for 2 ½ days and shifting your emotional focus to close interactions with those that you consider to be family and to expanding your family group. You want to have harmonious interactions with those you love.
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 27, the Third Quarter Moon phase began with the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Leo. This pattern will be influencing us until the next New Moon on August 4, 2024. This vibrational energy pattern is especially focused on working inside of yourself to connect in with the deeper spiritual essence of yourself, the real deep authentic core of your being. This involves your emotions becoming a part of what supports your deeper essence rather than having excessive emotional reactions be a barrier to a deeper connection with yourself. You are learning to face and release old wounds and hurts so you can connect more truly into yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “An old-fashioned Woman and an up-to-date Girl”. This symbol shows that finding the most effective and wisest course of action involves having the flexibility to balance tried and true patterns with new, innovative patterns. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which represents doing the difficult work involved in connection into the next level of awareness.
On July 21, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn 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 gathering of complex energy patterns tied to our emotional feelings and our passions. There is a focus on following your dreams. This calls us to tune into ourselves and understand better what our dreams are. Then we need to interact with the world and see how we can reorganize our experiences to more closely reflect our dreams. There is a sense here of an organic flow of energy rising up out of us and interacting with the world. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Daughter of the American Revolution”. This is about recognizing that you have a heritage that is fraught with problems and issues. This heritage has been seeking to control and limit you and your are seeking to free yourself from these forces so you can freely express who you truly are. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Secret Business Conference”. Here you are tuning into the true authority you carry within you and accepting your mandate to participate in the managing of the world’s hidden realities.
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: NO DEGREE CHANGES 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 “!!!”}
