The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (5/20/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Jupiter joining with Saturn and Pluto again (1*). This vibration represents the underlying vibrational pattern of this year. These three planets are in a dance where each of them partners with the others one at a time mapping out the underlying shape of this year. That shape is about growth in a step by step process bringing about profound change in your life and your relationships with others. This is not optional growth that you can choose or not depending on what you can handle. This is mandatory growth and change that you have no choice about. This is the type of changes that you cannot ignore. The best we have is to be thankful that we get to take this growth one step at a time rather than being dumped into the deep end when you don’t know how to swim, but make no mistake. You will get some time to learn how to swim, but you had better use it because you are going to have to swim in the deep end. There is not choice on that. This is combined with a strong feeling of the need to grow and expand in creative ways and take action based on that growth.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets
Today the featured planets are three underlying symbols of great impact this year.
It is important to periodically review these symbols and the lessons they have to teach us this year. This is about making a deeper connection to the stability that underlies reality as you perceive more of the fundamental truths that support this realm of time and space. You are learning the many genuine, precious, beautiful and useful things that there are within this realm. This enables you to continue in the pursuit of your life’s work despite obstacles and defeats.

The Dancing 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 9:49 AM the Sun enters Gemini bringing a month where your mood may tend to be more light hearted and you may just feel like exploring your world especially in combination with spending time with friends. This is a wonderful time to stop and smell the roses or walk down the main drag in your town go into some of the shops you have never been in to just learn what they are doing. You may discover something really exciting.
May 16 – May 23 (exact May 20) Venus in Gemini is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 7:02 PM then decreasing fading out around 11 AM on May 23. This vibration deals with what you are attracting to you and how well it matches up with your dreams and ideals. This is a time to examine any beliefs you may have that interfere with your life being what you want it to be. Get that cleared up and you can take action on your dreams.
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 11:58 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:58 AM early this morning May 20, the Moon in Taurus is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period has you evaluating what is really important to you and what it is really important to do with your actions. Think about the long term consequences of what you are doing and saying.
Starting at 6:10 AM, peaking at 8:10 AM, the Moon in Taurus is sharing freely (sextile) with Mars in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings a flow of energy that is great to use in some kind of physical activity especially one you can share with others. It is also good for group projects that require a lot of physical activity. Go out and do something.
Starting at 12:07 PM, peaking at 2:07 PM, the Moon in Taurus is joining with Uranus in Taurus. This 4 hr period is about doing what you feel like in the moment. You want to be spontaneous and do whatever comes to your mind. Take a little care, pause a second and be sure you and everyone else around are safe.
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.}
The Third Quarter Moon was on May 14 with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Aquarius. This pattern will be influencing us until the New Moon on May 22. This vibrational pattern is about creative action based on things you are working on inside yourself with you being able to manifest in a smooth easy way the things you are working on. There is a strong sense of the importance of growing and expanding. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A large well kept public park” which emphasizes the importance of working in cooperation with others to order and organize the wilderness forming an orderly space that everyone can safely share. The Symbol for the Moon is “A Butterfly with the right wing more perfectly formed.” This points to the importance of transforming your assertive impulses and placing them at the service of a greater awareness. It calls you to keep your emotions in balance and be guided by a deeper intuitive awareness.
On May 7 the Full Moon occurs with the Moon in Scorpio opposing the Sun in Taurus. This will be influencing us for the next two weeks until the New Moon on May 22 This vibration has a focus on using your mind and shows some possibility for unexpected things to happen. There is a strong desire for pleasant harmonious interactions with others and the ability for things to just flow together and manifest. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman holding a bag out of a window” which is about exposing yourself to the divine spirit and opening to it cleansing your psyche. The Moon Symbol is “A woods rich in autumn coloring”. This has to do with getting in touch with the flame of spirit within you and letting it shine unclouded and clear. There are warning here about dysfunctional behavior if you hold onto the blocked, destructive patterns within you and refuse to let them go. This can result in you losing things that are important and significant in your life.
The New Moon was on April 22 with the Sun and the Moon in Taurus. This pattern will be influencing us for a month until the next New Moon on May 22. This vibration is very impulsive and electric, seeking to shift and reorganize the foundation on which we build our lives. Things may feel unstable this month. There is a desire to find or discover something unique or special, perhaps a special understanding of your current life experiences and to share that discovery with others. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and the Moon is “The rainbow’s pot of gold”. This encourages us to open up and reach out to embrace that which is calling you, perhaps a spiritual vision and to follow the path of greater awareness. There is a warning that personal addictions and self-centered preoccupation could close you off and block your personal growth and expansion.
The Spring Equinox was on March 19 at 11:45 PM. This is the official beginning of Spring, the time when the Sun enters Aries. There is a sense of restlessness in this vibration as if what you are experiencing is not enough and there is something more that you can almost sense that is happening on some other level. This is almost a sense of something spiritual that you are seeking to identify. There are two symbols that are relevant to the Spring Equinox. The first is the Moon Symbol, “A train entering a tunnel” which gives you a shortcut through the obstacles around you by going through a dark tunnel. I think this describes where we all are right now. The second symbol is for Saturn, “A secret business conference”. This is about tuning into a deeper level of what is happening in this time period, opening up to what is really going on beyond the appearances. This is about tuning into the hidden realities of the world. Having these symbols on the Spring Equinox indicates the potential for a break through during the Spring where we can more clearly see what is going on.
This Eclipse Season was from December 26 through January 10. This vibrational pattern will be in effect until June 5, 2020. This is about mobilizing the resources of yourself and your group to stand up for your principles and being willing to deal with or use focused assertive/aggressive energy if necessary to reach your goal. There is a warning that if you engage in threats and arguments and bickering, it will keep you from reaching your goals. There is a strong emphasis on mental evaluation and analysis of the long-term consequences of the actions we are taking right now. Remember that it is important to ally yourself with others in order to accomplish our goals. That you will likely be defeated it you refuse to work with other people being unable to trust anything beyond yourself. It is important to operate on a positive level involves unselfconsciously displaying yourself expressing your gifts with humility and delight. The challenge is to not come from a place of entitlement and self inflation.
The Retrograde Diary: Check out changes today:
Introductory Contact for Uranus: Turning Backward of Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto: Reworking Patterns of Venus
{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.}
