The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry
Today, Wednesday (09/20/2023),the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury joining with Jupiter and Neptune (1*). The strongest vibrational energy today is involved with others in a restless search for a better more balanced experience of life. There is dissatisfaction with the current experiences and a strong need to reach out into new and different experiences that may provide something different and hopefully better. Here you are stepping back and seeing how your dreams and visions fit into the larger picture and recognizing that you need to open up to new ideas and seek a better world. (For VA Students: 22)
The AstroFrequency(s) for the day (strongest listed first)
21 (1*) Internalized easy flow of awareness, Works toward Free-flowing Elegance
6 (1*) Free-flowing interaction with others
22 (1*) Restless, Impatience shared with others, May feel stifled by others
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune >>>
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through:
You are looking at all sides of the issue, reaching beyond the shadows of illusion and appearance into the true and sometimes conflicting motives and patterns in operation. You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries. You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future.
The more dysfunctional expression of this message:
You are being confused and split into pieces by the differences that you perceive as you see both sides of an issue and yet refuse to accept the paradoxes involved in forming an integrated pattern. You are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function. You are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted.
10 Virgo = Mercury [Two heads looking out and beyond the shadows] You are looking at all sides of the issue, reaching beyond the shadows of illusion and appearance into the true and sometimes conflicting motives and patterns in operation and/or you are being confused and split into pieces by the differences that you perceive as you see both sides of an issue and yet refuse to accept the paradoxes involved in forming an integrated pattern
16 Taurus = Jupiter [An old man attempting vainly to reveal the Mysteries] You are starting to work on the issues within you that are keeping you from making connections into the greater mysteries and/or you are feeling trapped, powerless and impotent, unable to even consider that you might be able to make a change in the way you function
27 Pisces = Neptune [A harvest moon] You are celebrating the abundant fullness of the harvest within your soul, guided by the divine, recognizing that you have a responsibility to preserve that which you have gathered for the future and/or you are being surrounded by abundance and wastefully neglecting to properly care for the bounty you have been given, leaving it to rot and be wasted
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}
Sep 20 – Sep 22 (exact Sep 21) the Sun in Virgo is flowing freely (trine) with Pluto in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around 2 AM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 1:21 AM on Sept. 21 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on Sept. 22. This vibration seeks to bring a flow of universal structure down into manifestation here on earth building an intense need to step back and see the universal truths in everyday experiences.
Sep 18 – Sep 20 (exact Sep19) the Sun in Virgo is opposing Neptune in Pisces. This vibe is decreasing fading out around 7 AM. This vibration. This vibration is reaching for out-of-this-world feelings from its experiences. You are likely to feel a sense of wonder as you open up to the extraordinary energy in even the commonest of things.
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 1:06 AM, peaking at 3:06 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is flowing freely (trine) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period takes you into your dreams, they are living inside you and you are feeling them. You may find yourself daydreaming more than usual. You can use this time to get deeply in touch with your dreams and draw inspiration from them to help you make them more real.
Starting at 2:47 AM, peaking at 4:47 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with the Sun in Virgo. In this 4 hr period you will feel a lightening of your mood with your emotions flowing easily in interaction with others. A meeting or a social gathering would be smoother and easier right now.
Starting at 4:21 AM, peaking at 6:21 AM, the Moon in Scorpio is sharing freely (sextile) with Pluto in Capricorn. In this 4 hr period there is an easier connection into deeply buried feelings than at other times. There is an opportunity here to share these deep levels with your friends and to be open to them sharing their deep feelings with you. This exchange can sometimes have a healing quality and reduce the pain within you and your friends.
At 10:06 AM, the Moon enters Sagittarius. The Moon in Sagittarius brings exuberant feelings and a desire to explore your external world and your internal world. This 2 ½ days is a great time to explore someplace you have never been or to learn something new that you have been wondering about.
Starting at 11:57 AM, peaking at 1:57 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Pisces. This 4 hr period is a time when you want to focus on what is really important in your life and take actions to support those things. This could involve things like working on long-term projects or cleaning out the things that are not important. So this is a good time to clean up something that has been bothering you.
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 September 14, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon in Virgo. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the next New Moon, a Solar Eclipse on October 14.This vibrational energy pattern has a strong emphasis on emotional spontaneity and quick responses in the moment. There is a sense of working to realize your dreams through what you encounter in the world. There is an awareness of the community you are in and of the importance of expanding the benefits of community to all the people in the community. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is “A Royal Coat of Arms”. This symbol points to the responsibility each of us has to pass the benefits we have received on to the people who are in need. What we have gained we have a responsibility to pass on to others, to aide, to guide and to protect those who are less fortunate than we are.
On June 21, the Summer Solstice occurred as the Sun entered Cancer. This vibrational energy will be influencing us until the Fall Equinox on September 21. This is the longest day of the year and the shortest night. This vibrational pattern is dominated by the Sun Quincunx Pluto which shows that this is a time when each person must face and claim their own power and stand tall in it. There is an emphasis on working in support of your community this summer in very creative ways along with the potential for expansion through sudden insights and personal breakthroughs. The Sabian symbol for the Sun-Moon relationship is “A Christmas Tree decorated” which is like bringing the Winter Solstice into operation in the middle of Summer. This is about the light being reborn in the darkness within each of us.
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 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 your connection within yourself 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 you 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.
The Retrograde Diary: DEGREE CHANGES TODAY: Mercury, Venus >> Turning Backward of Jupiter: Reworking of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto: Resolution of Mercury, 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. Points of especially concentrated energy are marked with “!!!”}
