The Vibrational Astrology Diary
by Linda Berry*
The First Quarter Moon occurs at 9:55 PM with the Sun in Libra and the Moon in Capricorn
Today, Wednesday (9/23/20), the strongest vibrational influence comes from Mercury and Mars joining with Saturn (1*). This Vibration is about learning and studying seeking to analyze the patterns around you evaluating what is really important, the direction that life is moving. There is a deep sense of the importance of taking the actions that are necessary, the things you feel you just feel you must do, but there is a caution today that it is important to be open to receiving information from others and taking your effect on others into account so that you can act gently and effectively. That is probably the only way to be effective today.
The Sabian Symbols of our Featured Planets: Mercury, Mars, Saturn
The uplifting message from the featured planet positions that shows the way through: You are learning to balance power and love using each to temper the other, developing a deeply grounded connection that is open to both the emotional and spiritual realms. You are accepting the need to focus on what you can realistically express in this time and place, releasing the rest. You are experiencing an exceptional level of sensitiveness to subtle energies as you spontaneously open to delight and wonder, allowing you to make better contact with both the spiritual and elemental realms. .
The most dysfunctional expression of this message: You are reacting inconsistently and unpredictably, pushing others away from you and finding yourself out of control as you fluctuate between power and love . You are reaching out desperately in an attempt to hang onto everything, which results in you being unable to be effective in the expression of any of your gifts. You are being so lighthearted and irresponsible that you don’t take anything seriously or being so bogged down in work that you don’t get any form of release. .

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}
Sep 23 – Sep 25 (exact Sep 24) Mercury in Libra is opposing Mars in Aries. This vibe begins to influence us around 3 PM and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:53 AM on September 24 then decreasing fading out around Midnight on September 24. This vibration is focused on expressing your thoughts and ideas in action. This is always intense and can sometimes be violent.
Sep 22 – Sep 24 (exact Sep 23) Mercury in Libra is acting and agitating (square) with Saturn in Capricorn. This vibe begins to influence us around M and is increasing in influence until it peaks at 6:38 AM on September 23 then decreasing fading out around 2 AM on September 24. This vibration is very analytical and capable of seeing what is really going on and then taking appropriate action.
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 9:34 PM yesterday, peaking at 11:34 PM yesterday, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Venus in Leo. This 4 hr period is a time when you can share a deep soul connection with those that you are close to.
Starting at 10:20 PM yesterday, peaking at 12:20 AM right after Midnight today, the Moon in Sagittarius is acting and agitating (square) with Neptune in Pisces. This 4 hr period brings you into interaction with your dreams with the potential to take actions that can make your dreams more real.
Starting at 9:31 AM, peaking at 11:31 AM, the Moon in Sagittarius is sharing freely (sextile) with Mercury in Libra. This 4 hr period is a great time to work on projects as the emotions and the mind are in balance and working together.
Starting at 11:31 AM, peaking at 1:31 PM, the Moon in Sagittarius is flowing freely (trine) with Mars in Aries. This 4 hr period brings a flow of action coordinated with the emotional feelings. The nature of this expression depends on the feelings involved.
At 7:16 PM the Moon enters Capricorn and you may find yourself less emotional and more objective than at other times. If you realize that this is the point in the Moon’s cycle when objective evaluation is appropriate, then you can use this time to review the last month and see what you have learned and what you need to work on.
At 9:55 PM, the Moon in Capricorn is acting and agitating (square) with the Sun in Libra. This is the First Quarter Moon. See 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 9:55 PM the First Quarter Moon occurs with the Moon in Capricorn and the Sun in Libra. This composite vibration will be influencing us until the Full Moon on October 1. This Composite Vibration is extremely creative with a focus on action coming from your internal sense of what is right and what needs to happen. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “The light of the sixth race transmuted to the seventh” which is about each of us connecting more deeply into our spiritual center and being transmuted experiencing a leap in consciousness that taps us more deeply into our potentials. The Moon Symbol is “Three stained-glass windows, one damaged by bombardment” which is about healing the deep wounds cause by aggressive violence gaining the strength and openness to accept love within yourself.
On September 22, the Sun enters Libra. This is the Fall Equinox when the days and nights are equal. This vibration will be influencing us until the Winter Solstice on December 21. This Vibrational Pattern calls us to look inside of ourselves and see who we really are and whether we are being true to ourselves. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun is “A Butterfly made perfect by a dart through it” which involves recognizing that your personal understanding is limited and opening up to learn and flexibly relate to others and adjust based on how they are perceiving you and what they expect of you. The Moon Symbol is “A drowning man rescued”. This is about seeking help to better ground yourself and to take responsibility for your actions.learning how to be more effective.
On September 17, the New Moon occurred with the Sun and Moon joining in Virgo and will be influencing us until the next New Moon on October 16. This Vibrational Pattern is about doing the things you feel you must do. The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon is “A Boy with a censer” which is about modeling yourself after those who are more spiritually experienced and developed than you seeking to open yourself up and expand your awareness recognizing that you have responsibility both for yourself and for what you can do for others.
The Eclipse Season was from June 4 through July 5 and the patterns of this season will be in effect at least until the next Eclipse Season starts on November 30. The Eclipses begin by helping us to recognize that there is something special within each of us and that it is important for each of us to communicate our ideas clearly recognizing that there is a give and take to life as we share with each other. It then reminded us that we need to be adaptable and realize that we are being called to a new orientation to life. Each of us need to face our self-centeredness and reorganize ourselves to more effectively respond to the demands of ourselves and our world. We need to develop a bigger focus that encompasses all of the universe recognizing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves while at the same time being open to ancient truths that may contain wisdom that will help us to be more aware and more effective.
The Retrograde Diary: No DEGREE CHANGES today – PHASE CHANGE: Mercury begins its shadow.
Introductory Contact for Mercury:Turning Backward of Uranus: Reworking Patterns of Mars, Neptune, Turning Forward of Jupiter, 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 “!”}
