August 5, 2009 marks the full moon lunar eclipse at 13 degrees of Aquarius (rebellious humanitarian) exact at 8:55 pm est. This lunar eclipse from the Columbus, Ohio perspective will happen just after sunset with the moon just over the horizon. This unique (an Aquarian word) eclipse is the third in this series and the fifth this year. It is unique because eclipses commonly come in pairs, solar and lunar, but this Aquarian energy is flashing its unusual nature and bringing us a third eclipse, the second lunar eclipse this summer. This rare occasion brings attention to the Aquarian influences in your life and more specifically to the house location that Aquarius occupies on your natal chart. While no major event may occur our sensitivities are heightened as some lingering events may be wrapped up and come to a close, and quite unexpectedly. Wisdom and inventiveness will reveal themselves through this energy in a cool and somewhat detached way, so pay attention as you 'think' through your feelings with this lunar eclipse.
So this Full Moon in Aquarius promises more unsettling shocks, as triggers for change. The myths of Aquarius have to do with great floods that change everything. And as the Waterbearer, Aquarius brings waves of change that are triggers for revolution. There's a collective element to it.... it zaps us all, and it's a shared experience. The Aquarian... Read More ruler, Uranus, is cosmic consciousness, as a higher octave of Mercury. The messages could come from anywhere -- through a stargate in space even-- and become an inspired thought. That's why it's so unnerving to the diehard establishment, and even painted as dangerous, a rebel, an insurgent. Aquarius speeds up evolution, sometimes bringing on sudden jerks forward.
