A Step-by-Step Guide to Predictive Astrology for Your Solar Year
Annual Profections is a predictive astrology technique that is super simple yet remarkably effective. Each year, a different astrological house is highlighted, shifting the focus from one house to the next on your natal chart from one birthday to the next. Evaluating profections can help identify main themes and prioritize goals for the solar year.
The activation is based on the age of the individual, with the same house being activated at each age for all individuals. This activation cycle starts with the first house and comes full circle, making a 12-year cycle.
Each year, a different house is activated and becomes the 'profected' house, serving as the primary area of focus in our lives. The ruler of the zodiacal sign that occupies this house becomes the 'time lord'. The position of the time lord in your chart becomes an additional focal point, and any transits involving the time lord are significant for the year.
Working with Annual Profection
To work with the Annual Profection, follow these steps:
Determine the Profection House for the year. This is based on your age, with the First House being activated at your birth, the Second House at age 1, and so on. This pattern repeats itself every 12 years.
Identify the Time Lord of the year. This is the ruler of the zodiac sign that occupies the Profection House. For example, if your Profection House is the Third House and occupy by Gemini, your Time Lord for the year would be Mercury.
Examine the natal position of the Time Lord and its aspects to other planets in your natal chart. This can provide clues about how the themes of the Profection House will manifest in your life.
Watch out for the transits to the Profection House and the Time Lord during the year. Significant transits can activate the events and themes indicated by the Profection House and the Time Lord, and the nature of the transits.
Finally, cast your Solar Return chart and compare it to your natal chart. Pay special attention to the position of the Time Lord on the Solar Return chart, and planets in the activated house. This can help assess what the upcoming solar year might bring to the individual's life.

Solar Return Chart
After identifying the profected house and Time Lord, cast the Solar Return chart for the year. This chart, cast for the exact moment when the Sun returns to its natal position, provides more details about the themes and events of the upcoming year. The Solar Return chart is a powerful tool for predicting major events and themes that will take center stage in your life during the year.
Monthly Lord
The Monthly Lord technique extends the Annual Profection method by breaking down the year's focus into monthly segments. Starting from the yearly profected house identified through the Annual Profection, the ruling planet of this house's sign becomes the Monthly Time Lord. It then moves sequentially to the next house each month, assigning a new Time Lord based on the zodiac sign occupying each house. This allows for detailed, month-by-month themes and areas of focus throughout the year.
