This full Moon eclipse in Aquarius is the last eclipse of 2008. In Central time zone it falls in 3/9 Houses; in Washington D.C. it falls in 2/8 Houses; in London it falls in 5/11 Houses, and in Baghdad, Iraq it is, again, in 3/9 Houses, but on the 17th rather than the 16th of August and with the Moon in the 9th.
The Aquarius Moon has just passed over Neptune, who separates her from her North Node. The Moon will sextile Pluto before going void of course in about eight hours from now. It is very interesting that the eclipsed Moon is between Uranus and Neptune who are in mutual reception ( in the Sign of each other). I believe that is so apropos at this time when many books are on the shelves concerning the blending of physics and metaphysics. Consider books by Irvin Laszlo, Dean Radin, and Tim Maudlin.
The full Moon phase lasts for the next three nights and the Moon will rise about 50 minutes later each night. This is a time for meditation on the meaning of Neptune and what we can make conscious from his universal secrets. Consider reading NEPTUNE ENERGY
