The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (10/19/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Sun joining with Venus and Pluto (3*). This vibrational energy is very aware of the needs within and is going to take action on them. There is an awareness of the needs and positions of those that you are interacting with and the ability to adjust one’s actions based on the people you are dealing with. There is also the potential for very creative forms responses in situations. The driving motive behind these actions is related to a feeling of something beautiful that you just absolutely feel that you must have, or a place that speaks to your depths where you just have to live. It’s like you are incomplete without this beauty. Be aware that even though these feelings are very intense, they are likely to only last for the time that this vibrational energy is active. (For VA Students: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20)

The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Sun, Venus, Pluto >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are seeing an overview of the world from an objective perspective, enabling you to better understand the swirling patterns of consequences and relationships around you and then translating that into practical everyday realities. You are climbing to the heights of the mountains, seeking to make the connections needed to bring a deeper level of spiritual awareness into yourself and the world. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are seeking to disconnect from the everyday world, seeking to escape the reality or the consequences of your personal situation which can result in you crashing into the realities you have been running from. You are seeking to reach the top of the heap in order to show that you’re better than others so you can look down on them from your exalted position.

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}
Oct 19 – Oct 20 (exact Oct 20) Venus in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us at around 7 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 2:02 AM on Oct 20, then decreasing and fading out around 9:30 PM on Oct 20. This is about a strong action in pursuit of a compelling attraction to beauty. This is an attraction that you feel like you just must pursue. You are more likely right now to operate based on passion than on logic.
Oct 18 – Oct 26 (exact Oct 22) the Sun in Libra is joining with Venus in Libra. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 5:17 PM on Oct 22, then decreasing and fading out around 3 PM on Oct 26. This vibrational energy calls you to tap into the beauty within you and to express your true beautiful self in the world. This is a vibration of connecting with yourself and others. You may be able to more clearly see the beauty in the people around you at this time.
Oct 18 – Oct 20 (exact Oct 19) the Sun in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe is increasing in influence until it peaks at 9:33 AM, then decreasing and fading out around 10:30 AM on Oct 20. This vibrational energy brings a strong sense of mission and purpose and the desire to act and express that which you feel called to do.
Oct 18 – Oct 19 (exact Oct 18) Venus in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini. This vibe is decreasing in influence and fading out around 8:30 PM. This vibrational energy brings the desire to make beautiful things or interact with beauty that you are attracted to. There is a desire to be real and directly involved in whatever you are doing and an emphasis on operating naturally and using natural substances to create beauty.
Sept. 15 – Oct. 22 (closest position Oct. 4, never exact) Saturn in Aquarius is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. This vibe is a repeat of a strong pattern that we saw in the last year where there is a focus on doing your own thing and not taking into account the ideas or needs of the rest of the world. This is a very independent, sometimes rebellious, pattern that can tend to be disruptive.
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 11:15 PM yesterday, peaking at 1:15 AM, the Moon in Leo is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Libra. This 4 hr period brings a focus on thinking and communicating those thoughts, so writing down your thoughts, and possibly communicating what you are thinking about in a discussion or just sitting and thinking for a while would be profitable. This has the emotions and the mind interacting well and is a good time to work on important projects.
Starting at 10:17 AM, peaking at 12:17 PM, the Moon in Leo is acting and agitating (square) with Uranus in Taurus. In this 4 hr period your emotions could be scattered all over the place with you feeling one thing one moment and another the next and you have the energy and desire to act on each of these things as it spontaneously surfaces. It is good to have a little bit of you watching this process and every once in a while saying, “I better wait on that one.”
Starting at 11:59 AM, peaking at 1:59 PM, the Moon in Leo is opposing Saturn in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period you are dealing with that which is especially significant or fundamental in your relationships with others. This is especially about evaluating whether your interactions are working to build your life in a way that supports and leads to your long-term goals. You can see clearly now what you need to change to accomplish your goals.
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 October 17, the Third Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Cancer square the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 25. The vibrational energy this week is fairly confrontive. There is an emphasis on devotions to beautiful patterns from the past combined with emotional obsessions. The need to be aware of and take into account all the swirling concepts in this time is especially emphasized. There are hidden patterns here that need to be revealed and acted upon with the emphasis being on interactions with others whether collaborations or confrontations. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf”. This is an opportunity to see fundamental truths revealed with their camouflage removed and recognize that life transcends the apparent reality of life and death. The challenge is to stop focusing on the ephemeral cyclical processes of life and death and believing that that is all that there is. The Sabian Symbol for the Quarter Moon is “A dark shadow or mantle thrown suddenly over the right shoulder”. This brings is an opportunity to open to a connection that overshadows you, a greater authority that is calling on you to transcend ego and logical rationalization. Open to spiritual power and learn to assume responsibility for using the power that has been given to you, wisely and with humility. It’s important not to claim this power as your own or operate from a sense of personal superiority and divine right; potentially abusing your power.
On October 9, the Full Moon occurred with the Moon in Aries opposing the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 25. This vibrational pattern brings a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. This is a time for spending time by yourself doing your own internal work. There is also a potential for great creativity under this vibrational pattern if you can open up to it. There may be a feeling of attraction to people and items that have a long history. This can be long standing relationships or antiques that carry a sense of history in them. Ways that the past is affecting the future will likely become clear during this two weeks. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A retired sea captain”. This is an opportunity to step back, see the ebb and flow of life, experience a sense of pattern and fulfillment and get a more complete understanding of your experiences and interactions with others if you can let go of disappointment and anger at lost opportunities, and move beyond the feeling that everything is lost and that there is no point in trying any longer. The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon is “Two prim spinsters”. Here there is an opportunity to turn inward to break free of the bonds of traditional restrictions and open up to the expression of the impulsive side of yourself if you can let go of the rigid control of your impulses. The challenge is to open up to the exuberant expression of life.
On September 25, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon October 25. This vibrational pattern has some contradictions in it. First it is expansive and seeking to act on its motivations and drives. There is a tendency to act without thinking about how other people are going to be affected by your actions. This is likely to run up against the ideas other people have about how the world works. If you are not naturally inclined to be inclusive, this is a time when you may find you have jumped over the edge of the cliff in your relationships with others. So take extra care about your choices right now and realize there is something self-oriented and irrational pushing you to not take others into account. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “The Dawn of a New Day, Everything Changed”. This symbol is about recognizing a new center of awareness within yourself. You are encouraged to embrace a reorientation that causes everything to be changed. The rules are now different and the reactions of others will be different from what you expect. This is especially true if you do not adjust to the changes that are occurring in you and in those around you. If you find you are feeling fear and anger, stop and evaluate and see what the awareness is that you are blocking.
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.
On May 16, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurred with the Moon in Scorpio and the Sun 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 October 25, 2022. This eclipse is especially involved with Saturn seeking to focus on that which is essential and of long-term importance and to let go of passing feelings and actions that will not be remembered at a later time. This vibrational pattern involves deep inner work seeking to find the appropriate actions and includes a sense of not knowing and not being able to know all the answers. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Spaniard serenading his Senorita” which calls for you to refocus the assertive/aggressive aspect of yourself, discovering the value of love and gentleness, and seeing the beauty within you and in others. The Moon Symbol is “Indians making Camp”. This symbol is about learning to operate in a new realm where you need to learn the rules for functioning in this place so that you respect the rights of everyone involved.
On April 30, the New Moon Solar Eclipse occurred with the Sun and Moon in Taurus. This is the start of this eclipse season and this vibrational pattern will be influencing us until the next Eclipse Season starts on October 25, 2022. This eclipse focuses on devotion to the beauty of the past with a sense of the importance of direct hands on experience seeking to evaluate what really needs to happen to properly honor the past in the present. The importance of actually taking action to make a more direct involved and beautiful world is especially emphasized. The Sabian Symbol for the eclipse is “Deep-Sea Divers” which is about exploring the deepest realms of your being finding the tremendous pressures that are operating within you calling you to open to new awarenesses of your talents and gifts. Take care to keep in touch with the reality of the world around you as you are probing the depths within you.
The Retrograde Diary: NO DEGREE CHANGES TODAY >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Neptune: Turning forward of Saturn, 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 “!”}
