The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
At 9:36 AM EST, the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius square with the Moon in Pisces.
Today, Wednesday (11/30/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Venus and Mars (2*). This vibrational energy is very interactive. It is about interacting with others and figuring out how to relate to others in flowing harmonious ways that are mutually satisfying for everyone involved. This is balanced by working at the same time to develop your own path of action, connecting in with the motives and drives within you and acting on those needs and drives to impact the world around you and change it. There is a sense here of beauty and balance in your thoughts and in your verbal and written communication. There is a flow where you take what you are learning and apply it in the world in interesting and effective ways. This vibration also has a strong tendency to really act in direct hands on ways with the natural world around you recognizing it as a vital foundation for everything you may feel a need to express. Learn something today and write about it, share it with others and feel these energies operating through you. (For VA Students: 2, 4, 6)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are nurturing the new understandings that are being born within and around you, experiencing a welling up of joy within as this fragile awareness is protected from being exposed to too much light all at once. You are directly cutting through the frozen patterns within the self, releasing underlying emotions and feelings, facing and overcoming issues before they become disasters. You are determining which of the abundance of choices available will provide the nourishment you need, evaluating what you hunger for, selecting it, paying for it, and bringing it in to become a part of yourself. You are adjusting and rebalancing your living space as the divine sparks of consciousness come to earth and come to life in you, showing you how to clean up your life and your world. You are recognizing that there are ancient beliefs and patterns that relate to awareness that are forming within you that can help you expand your understanding. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are overprotecting yourself and those around you, not being able to see the whole picture of what is really going on, maneuvering and indulging in infantile play, creating the potential for manipulation and abuse. You are being caught in frozen patterns, being content to endure whatever may come, burying any sense of hurt, insult or distress, hoping everything will work out well, without doing anything to create a better future. You are being overwhelmed by the many things available to you being unable to make a choice or taking more than you need and depriving someone else. You are ignoring the garbage and rubbish piling up within you and around you and slowly being suffocated by it. You are being caught up in traditional patterns and viewing them as rules that must be followed at all costs, failing to recognize and understand the deeper spiritual truths contained within those traditional patterns that may need to be understood and expressed in a different way in the present.

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 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.}
At 9:36 AM EST on November 30, the First Quarter Moon occurrs with the Moon in Pisces square the Sun in Sagittarius. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Full Moon on December 7. This vibrational energy brings an awareness of the ways that we are included in the lives of other people and the ways we are excluded from interaction with other people. There is a sense of the importance of being right now in the moment interacting with what is actually happening in this moment, rather than being caught up in old patterns. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A mother with her children on stairs”. This is an opportunity to be guided with love and care through progressive levels of awareness, growing in understanding of this beautiful place step by step. The challenge is to avoid closing off to interacting with others, refusing to give or receive help, insisting that you can do it all on your own, or refusing to grow up and continuing to expect to be looked after and taken care of. The Sabian Symbol for the First Quarter Moon is “A jockey”. This is an opportunity to learn how to pace yourself and evaluate your situation then move forward quickly when the time is right, recognizing that the process is more important than the outcome. Beware not to rush ahead without thought, get carried away; seek to win at all costs and find that you run out of steam before you have completed your work.
On November 23rd, the New Moon occurs with the Sun in Sagittarius conjunct with the Moon in Sagittarius.This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on December 23. The pattern at this New Moon is expansive and involves dealing with the unpredictable aspects of life. There is a sense of joy and adventure here. You look at what you are dealing with, analyze it and figure out as best you can what would be effective. Then you use your intuition to sort through the analysis you have made and figure out what really needs to happen. There is an element of leaping into the unknown here with an embracing of the risk involved in truly expressing yourself. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The ocean covered with whitecaps”. This symbol is about penetrating surface disturbances, finding deep inner peace and stillness below the surface, as you begin to perceive the underlying strength, stability and permanence of the universal into which you can tap. Try to avoid getting caught up in immediate emotional reactions that keep you from tuning into the deeper stability below the emotional level.
On November 8, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon in Taurus. This is the end of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy is seeking to get to the true or fundamental essence helping each person discover the unique essence within them and realize how amazing and beautiful it is. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A woman the father of her own child”. This symbol is about giving birth to yourself as a conscious spiritual being connected in with the greater reality around you. The challenge is not to move into feelings of being alone and abandoned which may force you into an unwanted independence without support. The Moon Symbol is “A battle between the swords and the torches”. This might lead you into engaging in a battle between the forces of light, awareness & love and the forces of domination & control with the light shining in and revealing the strongly held distortions that must be defeated. It is important to claim your power and not surrender to the domination and control of others.
On October 25 the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on April 20, 2023. This vibrational energy brings a sense of the importance of listening to the stories of others. There is a drive towards expanded action seeking to respond to the stories and the needs you encounter in the people around you. This involves a sense of reaching for the fundamental beauty in others that you can see more clearly at this time. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “A house-raising”. This symbol is about being involved in building a new structure for yourself with the entire community generously gathering and harmoniously participating in the process according to their skills and abilities. This is a reminder that others help make our lives work right. Take care not to refuse the help of others because of a lack of trust or an excessive sense of independence related to fear of being controlled. Also be aware that you may have a belief that you do not deserve help or do not have the right to ask for help. This is your own issues. We all need help at times.
On September 22 the Fall Equinox occurs as the Sun enters Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern involves tuning into yourself and following what is within you rather than seeking to meet external expectations. There is a sense of skepticism about simple pat answers. This comes from a sense of a depth to life with a deep mystery at the very core of life, a mystery that cannot be reduced down to words.. The Sabian Symbol for the Fall Equinox is “An Ancient Pottery Bowl filled with Violets”. This is about basing your pattern on the foundation principles of life. You are encouraged to develop a delicate and beautiful essence that radiates love, peace, beauty and simplicity.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mars >> Reworking of Mars, Uranus: Turning forward of Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Saturn {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 “!”}
