How long do eclipse effects last?

Eclipse effects typically unfold over 6 months, from one eclipse season to the next. Major themes introduced during an eclipse may continue developing for up to 18 months as the lunar nodes transit.

Why do eclipses happen in pairs?

Eclipses occur when the Sun and Moon align near the lunar nodes. Since the nodes are opposite each other, we get both a solar eclipse (New Moon) and lunar eclipse (Full Moon) about two weeks apart during each eclipse season.
