Exploring Profections in Astrology

What are Profections?

Profections is a time-lord technique in traditional astrology where each year of your life is associated with a specific house in your natal chart. This technique highlights the themes and areas of life that will be most significant during that year.

How do Profections Work?

Every year on your birthday, you "profect" to a new house. For instance, at age 30, you are in a 7th house profection year, focusing on relationships and partnerships. The ruling planet of the profected house (called the Time Lord) gains prominence and its condition in your natal chart can give insights into the year's themes.

Some Example Topics for Profections

• Health and Wellness: A 6th house profection year highlights health, daily routines, and work environment. The condition of the 6th house ruler can indicate how well you manage your health and job responsibilities during the year.

• Career and Patriarchy: A 10th house profection year places emphasis on your career and dealings with authority. The ruler of the 10th house and its aspects will show how you navigate professional hierarchies and potential bureaucratic challenges.

• Home and Family: A 4th house profection year brings focus to home life, family, and personal foundations. The ruling planet of the 4th house can reveal how stable and nurturing your home environment will be.

• Financial Outlook: If you are in a 2nd house profection year, finances and resources become the focus. The condition of your natal 2nd house ruler will indicate how you manage money. A well-aspected ruler can mean a smoother financial year, while challenging aspects might suggest the need for more caution.

• Travel and Education: A 9th house profection year emphasizes higher education, long-distance travel, and philosophical pursuits. The condition of the 9th house ruler can show opportunities for learning and exploring new horizons.
