What Are Annual Profections?
Annual profections is a Hellenistic timing technique that activates one house of your natal chart each year. Starting from the 1st house at birth, the focus moves one house forward every birthday, cycling through all 12 houses every 12 years.
The planet that rules the activated house becomes the Time Lord for that year — its natal placement, transits, and Dasha period become especially significant.
For example, in a 1st-house profection year (ages 0, 12, 24, 36, 48…), themes of identity, health, and new beginnings dominate. In a 7th-house year (ages 6, 18, 30, 42…), partnerships, marriage, and contracts take centre stage.
