Eclipses are unusual events in the fields of astronomy and astrology.  Regardless of who explains them, the average person is smart enough to understand that eclipses are monumental events to observe. The underlying reality, whether observed as an astrological event or as an astronomical event, is that eclipses belong to families.  These families are groups of eclipses that occur together every 18 years (plus some months and days) .  The families are numbered and are clumped together based on where the originating eclipses initiated - from the south or from the north. 

Each time the "family" shows up, it will have moved approximately 10 degrees beyond its last astrological occurrence. Over a span of about 1300 years, the eclipse families will move through the entire zodiac twice.  The families never die out.  New generations of eclipses will step in before the older generation dies out.

We are likely to get to observe a Lunar Eclipse at least once a year in our area, but the Solar Eclipse can only be observed from the specific region that the Sun's path is trekking through on that date. If the solar eclipse does occur in our area, one has to hope that the weather holds out and allows the solar eclipse to be viewed.  Most partial Solar Eclipses are not as exciting as the Total Eclipse.  The Solar Eclipse event could be a once in a life time event since most of us don't get the chance to travel all over the world just to watch eclipses. The Lunar Eclipse is easier to observe since, if it is dark in our areas when the eclipse occurs, all we will need to do is go outside to watch.

In short, there are at least two Lunar and two Solar eclipse events each year.  We may not get to observe them, but everyone gets to experience them based on their personal astrological chart.  The events light up the houses based on the zodiac sign.  Regardless of where we live, our houses will be visited by a different eclipse family each year.
