Intensity Relative To Visibility Of Eclipse

I find eclipses impact us seen or unseen. Just like any other planet that is transiting. 

Full eclipses are not better than partial. They are more powerful. During the eclipse cycle, the first eclipse is visible at extreme north or south lattitudes and its barely an eclipse, in hte middle of the cycle, the eclipse is full and visible along the equator. THe last eclipse of a cycle happens at the opposite pole from which it started and it is also a very partial eclipse. In fact, the early and late eclipses are so partial that you can't even see any eclipse. THe middle eclipses are the full ones, so its a cycle like the moon, dark, waxing, full, waning, dark. So the biggest effects are during the full ones. 

Thanks Ernst.

It seems like the specific themes and events in my life related to this particular lunar eclipse started a little earlier than the month before it. And it has been hitting one of the most important parts of my chart, which contains a two-graha conjunction. Their karakas were concretely affected.

Could it be, like how you just illustrated with the cycles of the moon, that the intensity of the eclipse themes start waxing and festering about 3 months before, then build up to a crisis point sometime within or around a month of it, and then wane and simmer down during the 3 months after?

I've heard the 6-month eclipse cycles described this way in the past by the guy, who sometimes had good ideas, who used to use your ayanamsha but now gives us a hard time for being tropical.

Yes, you can see it that way, that its an ebb and flow between the two eclipses. I generally focus on the more narrow one month on each side as that is where the more intense stuff usually happens.
