The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (7/9/2025), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Saturn and Neptune (2*). This energy is about a sense of something not being right and an impulse to go out and investigate other places where it might be better. There is a restlessness here that is never satisfied, always reaching out for more. You are going to be analyzing the situations you are concerned about seeking to figure out what the core problem is. This is combined with a desire for something fascinating and amazing which can result in you seeking to understand the spiritual implications of what you are working with. For VA Students (11, 22)
This vibrational energy pattern is better and more effectively implemented by joining with others in a network where each person does their part to keep the whole working well. This involves working with others as equal partners who each carry their own part of the load.

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Saturn, Neptune >>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are moving back, contemplating all that you have experienced, getting it in perspective and, thus, increasing your understanding and finding guidance for future actions. 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 awaiting the right opportunity for expression and display of your character, opening to messages around you, evaluating what is important and what is not. 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 being caught up in memory and disconnected from current reality. You are getting caught up in an artificial sense of pretension and reactiveness coming from taking yourself way too seriously. You are putting off acting over and over again, looking for the perfect opportunity, and in the process missing your chances to effectively express yourself. 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}.
Jun 29 – Oct 6 (not exact) Neptune in Aries is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Aquarius. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt for more than three months. Here we have a passion for new and exciting dreams and visions that will involve people forming broad networks of connection with each other. There is the potential here for the visions of one to inspire the many.
Jun 9 – Aug 23 (not exact) Saturn in Aries is joining with Neptune in Aries. They do not become exact, but this energy will be felt a lot over this summer. Here we have the potential for new spiritual understandings to begin to emerge. This can also bring deception and fraud. Each person has to decide whether to be open to the amazing energies starting to reach into our consciousness or to be caught up in what they want to believe is true and deceiving themselves and others.
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 4:54 AM 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 occurs, 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 6:36 AM, peaking at 8:36 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aries. 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 7:04 AM, peaking at 9:04 AM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Aries. 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.
Starting at 3:59 PM, peaking at 5:59 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is opposing Jupiter in Cancer. 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 2, the First Quarter Moon Phase occurs with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Cancer, This Vibrational Pattern will be influencing us until the Full Moon on July 10, 2025.This Vibrational Energy Pattern is about choosing whether the actions you take will be inclusive or whether you will exclude whole groups of people from your calculations. There will be serious consequences if you decide to exclude others, as if they are not important. There is a call for open inclusive interactions that acknowledge the worth and value of each person. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Chinese Woman nursing a Baby with a Message”. This is about opening up to the flow of nourishment coming into you from an unexpected source and realizing that this nourishment is feeding the true essence of yourself and helping you to understand more clearly who you really are. The Symbol for the Moon is “Miners emerging from a Mine”. Here we have the opportunity to bring our internal transformational work up to consciousness where we can integrate it into our lives and experience healing as we adjust to new situations and patterns.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mercury, Neptune: Turning Back of Saturn, Neptune: Reworking of Pluto: Resolution of Venus, Uranus {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 “!!!”}
