Afternoon Full Moon: Final day of natal Mercury (secondary progression, retrograde) in sign of the kidney, native sign to born politicians, and returning to sign of the bowels, more akin to public service sector and the sign where natal Mercury first entered from sign of the heart (secondary progression, direct) bicentennial spring, 1976.
As a natal moment, this one times well to current public events hosted by Partnership for Public Service, nonprofit honoring careers in government, and brings back teenage impressions of friends’ parents and their adult world. The 2020 Service to America medals event on October 5th features (announced today) Federal Employee of the Year honoree, Dr. Fauci. They also head toward weekend in full nerd-out mode tomorrow morning sharing history of White House transitions for first-term and second-term administrations.

Our family relocated to Mary’s land, zodiac sign of the neck with its beers and bushels, summer of 1976, preceded by a semi-solo early summer stay at Bethany soon after progressed Mercury entered Virgo where it remained 24 years. First exposure to the Atlantic: a locale in Delaware near a preserved area, sparsely populated, and still early enough in the season to body surf for the first time alongside horseshoe crabs. Subsequent teenage trips in O.C. featured people and boardwalks.
This last day of Libra also is the 96th birthday of the president of those teenage years who in college years became overshadowed by an astrologically-timed administration. Historians today reconsider his accomplishments and wonder if he was “out-styled” by the latter. Maybe he was “out-Mooned,” as the latter, employing professional astrological consultation via first lady, timed his potentially controversial public communications to its void.
