The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
Today, Wednesday (10/05/2022), the strongest vibrational influence comes from the Moon joining with Saturn and Uranus (0*). Today there are three possible patterns that you may find yourself expressing. None of them are strong enough to dominate the daily vibrational pattern, in fact the three are very close to the same strength. The first and strongest is the featured pattern of Moon, Saturn, and Uranus. This pattern has a strong feeling of needing to be free and for you to walk your own path today. This is about taking actions that other people are comfortable with and at the same time expressing your unique original understanding of what is going on. The second pattern is Moon, Mercury, Saturn. This is about exploring what the core elements of your emotions and feelings are. Then taking these essential elements, both past and present elements, and putting them together in interesting creative patterns. The third pattern is Saturn, Uranus, Pluto and it is focused on doing things like the first pattern, but here you are examining your internal motives and desires and eliminating influences from others that you do not want in your life. (For VA Students: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 || 30 || 16)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
8 (1*) Acting effectively to accomplish your Motivations & Drives
16 (1*) Deep motivations and desires expressed as action
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Moon, Saturn, Uranus >>> The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are experiencing an overpowering compassion for the struggles of all life that enables you to quench the rage and destruction within you that is, otherwise, out of control. You are feeling a sense of yourself as a newly formed being in your own right. The more dysfunctional expression of this message: You are getting caught up in your rage and giving up on getting it under control, as it continues to rampage until all your energy is expended and everything around you is destroyed. You are reacting in fear and rejecting the new pattern rising up within you.

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 5 – Oct 8 (exact Oct 6) Mercury in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 12:30 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 11:55 PM on Oct 6 then decreasing fading out around 4 AM on Oct 8. This vibration brings an intense focus on your mind and on developing ideas and concepts. You may even find yourself working extra long hours to develop or write down the ideas you are working on.
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 0:31 AM, peaking at 2:31 AM, the Sun in Libra is flowing freely (trine) with the Moon in Aquarius. In this 4 hr period your mood and emotional feelings are likely to be balanced and soft and you are just more likely to feel in harmony with yourself. This is a good time to engage in projects you need to do.
Starting at 10:57 AM, peaking at 12:57 PM, the Moon in Aquarius 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 12:00 PM, peaking at 2:00 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is joining with Saturn in Aquarius. This 4 hr period calls for an evaluation of your emotional patterns to see whether you are reacting emotionally to things that do not really matter where you will not remember what upset you in an hour or a day. It is about learning to let go of emotional feelings that are not about significant long-term issues.
Starting at 4:45 PM, peaking at 6:45 PM, the Moon in Aquarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Gemini.This 4 hr period is probably going to have your emotions and moods whooped up a bit, you will tend to focus on something you want to do and really get on with it. You may get upset if someone interferes at this time, you won’t want to be interrupted or blocked.
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 2, the First Quarter Moon occurred with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This vibrational energy will be influencing us for a week until the Full Moon October 9. This vibrational pattern is about digging down in and tuning into your special gifts and helping others develop their special gifts. This is about developing a deeper understanding of who you and other people are. There is potential here for cutting to the really foundational aspects of who you are and the opportunity to open up to a greater spiritual awareness. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Canoe approaching safety through Dangerous Waters”. This is an opportunity to move into harmony within yourself if you can transcend the ego’s need to domination and the emotional feelings of rebellion within you. The Symbol for the Moon is “An Albatross feeding from the Hand”. Here there is an opportunity to recognize that you and all creatures have a common linkage. This may help you redefine and nurture some of the disturbed aspects within you.
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: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury >> Introductory Period of Mars: Turning back of Uranus: Reworking of Jupiter, Neptune: Turning forward of Mercury, 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 “!”}
