Annual Profections
Method
Each year of life, the Ascendant 'moves' to the next zodiac sign:
- Age 0: Aries (1st house)
- Age 1: Taurus (2nd house)
- Age 12: Aries again (cyclical)
Key Rules
1. Ruler of the Profection Sign: Lord of the Year.
2. Position of this planet in natal chart: Dictates where the year's theme activates.
3. Transits to this planet: Key moments of the year.
4. Sign on the cusp: Theme of the year (e.g., 2nd house = finances, 7th house = partnerships).
Monthly Profections
Same as annual profections, but the Ascendant shifts to the next house each month, offering month-by-month timing.
Practical Example
Age 32: 32 mod 12 = 8 → 9th house (Sagittarius). Ruler is Jupiter. The year is linked to education, travel, and philosophy.
