The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Yesterday and today, Wednesday (05/17/2023), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Venus joining with Uranus and Neptune (1*). This vibrational pattern is more internally focused. This is about taking some time by yourself to get in touch with yourself and what is going on inside of you. This is about working through the way your experiences in the world have been impacting you on a deep level. It is especially important to get in touch with your dreams. What are you attracted to? What would truly feel awesome? This is a time to be open to your intuition and opportunities that are available to you if you just open up and listen to that inner awareness that is guiding you. (For VA Students: 7, 14)

4 (2*) Motivation & Drive
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Venus, Uranus, Neptune >>>The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are seeing more clearly the beautiful jewel of your true self recognizing that you still have a lot of work to do to fully develop your potential. You are experiencing the movements and fluctuations of energy within you learning where the energy flows freely and where there is damage or blockage that interferes with the energy flow. You are experiencing a sense of fullness, completion and wholeness as you tune into the fertile potency within you that enables you to manifest anything you truly desire. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are pretending that you have everything together and refusing to see clearly how you’re actually operating. You are blocking off your awareness of energy patterns within you maintaining a sense of internal rigidity that enables you to ignore your internal issues. You are being caught up in pride and possessiveness, jealously trying to protect all that is yours and failing.

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}

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 May 12 the Third Quarter Moon Phase occurred with the Moon in Aquarius and the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on May 19. This vibrational pattern needs to be free and spontaneous. There is a feeling of lively bubbling energy where you feel like you are joyfully bouncing around. There is a strong need to be active and to take action based on the feelings inside of you. Communication is likely to be clear and precise. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “White Dove over Troubled Waters” which helps you to move beyond your emotional patterns realizing that you can work with your emotional feelings without being controlled by them. The Moon Symbol is “A Rug placed on a Floor for Children to Play”. This encourages you to set aside a protected time and place where you can deal with your own needs freely and safely.
On May 5, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Lunar Eclipse on October 28. This vibrational pattern is expansive and seeking to understand the different ways people can understand the world. This is often done by participating in a culture that is different from your culture of origin. There is a strong need for the freedom to express yourself and to act on your feelings. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Bridge being built across a Gorge” which helps you connect to the next more expansive level of awareness beyond where you currently are operating. The Moon Symbol is “A Gold Rush”. This helps you find and identify the rigid patterns within you that are keeping you from connecting into the gold of your true self. You can break up these rigid structures and open up to a deeper truer understanding of yourself.
On April 20 the New Moon a Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and the Moon in Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next Solar Eclipse on October 14. This eclipse in Aries emphasizes our connection with ourselves and encourages you to find a way to do what you feel called to do deep within you. There is a focus on interacting with the world and exploring whatever we are drawn to. This process can be very creative. And with this vibration it leads to taking actions based on your discoveries. The Sabian Symbol for this eclipse is “A Duck Pond and its Brood”. This is about recognizing that you are operating within a bounded,limited sphere of activity where you are inter-linked with a particular group of people. It is important to realize that you are interconnected with people in a larger realm and to realize that you need to take into account this larger realm rather than just focusing on the needs of your group.
On March 20 the Spring Equinox occurred as the Sun enters Aries. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Summer Solstice on June 21. This is the balancing point of the year when the days and nights are of equal length. This year’s Spring Equinox brings a strong feeling of needing to have your ideas be exceptional and amazing.
The vibration for Spring is deeply involved in sharing other people’s stories and there is a tendency to act based on the things you have learned from others to seek to make the lives of those around you better. The Sabian Symbol for the distance from the Sun to the Moon is “A master instructing his pupil. This is about participating in the transfer of higher knowledge and wisdom, being open to receiving deep insights from unexpected places. This energy becomes distorted if you claim a superior status and special privileges based on your position. This is about recognizing the worth and authority of each person.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory phase of Saturn, Uranus: Turning Backward of Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, 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 “!”}
