Eclipse Season

What it is

Eclipse season is a ~5-week period twice a year — when the lunar nodes line up with the Sun. In this window 1 solar + 1 lunar eclipse (sometimes 1 extra) occur back-to-back. The nodes circle the zodiac in 18.6 years; eclipse seasons shift every 6 months. 2024-2025: Leo-Aquarius; early 2026: shifting to Cancer-Capricorn.

Astrological reading

"Time speeds up" is said of eclipse season — change normally spread across a year compresses into 5 weeks. Decision pressure is high; inner and outer events stack. The period reads as new beginning (solar) followed by closure (lunar) — a door opens, another quietly shuts. Tiring; sleep, nutrition, social intensity balance matter.

Practice

Before eclipse season: simplify the calendar, don't take heavily-leveraged decisions across the 5 weeks. Inwardly write; outwardly work, postpone reactions 3 days. This period mixes its natural acceleration with artificial speed; conscious slowness is protective.
