I guess with the slow flow of time in the Celestial Spirit World gives a very good excuse for delaying effects on the Spirits.

Hmm... would be interesting if Virgo was the one to change first, simply because she was the only one Lucy called into the Human World so far and thus more time moved by for her.

Or if the Eclipse turned out to just open a the gap in the Spirit's defenses (so to say) that allowed the real cause to take effect or one of several contributing factors, rather than the Eclipse being the sole reason.
