crimsoncurrent's something I always look out for in judging New and Full Moons that these eclipses exemplify beautifully. Many astrologers do not use the 165 degree aspect which personally I find really useful. It's an aspect of intense focus to the point of obsession, and often call this the Plutonian aspect.
Many like to use New and Full Moons purely as stand-alone, whilst others [myself included] see them in their cyclic form; the Full Moon being the outpouring for the seed as indicated by the New phase. In the natural zodiac these aspects occur at 15 Virgo and 15 Libra. If a planet at new Moon is 165 in the upper Libran phase, then at Full Moon it will be very closely conjunct to this point [usually applying]. At the Solar Eclipse Uranus is exactly at this position, and thus when the Full Moon Eclipse forms is conjunct that of Uranus. These Eclipses as a pairing are incredibly Uranian in nature with an obsessive focus, and with them cutting the Scorpio/Taurus axis ours vs others value systems are involved. In this scenario, if ones individuality/core energy[Sun] is blocked [eclipse] or ones sustenance [Moon] then we can get the full force of unexpected/unpredictable Uranian events. I note that at the SE Uranus is conjunct the 9th cusp of universities whilst in square to Saturn; the midpoints of the eclipse with Saturn being opposed by Mars. Any inhibitions and frustrations can come out violently; as you pointed out, Mars and Pluto are in quincunx. Often times I will also use Geodetic houses for places under consideration, especially when event timing is disputed; this technique will give a local MC based on longitude, the ASC is then easily worked out. Maybe I shall comment later on this alongside the chart of Boise [this being the State Capital] and seems to yield some interesting progressions/transits etc.
