Do You Know What Is Annual Profection and How It Affects Your Life?

annual_profection
Profection literally means 'advancement' or 'forward movement.' Annual Profection or Yearly Advancement is a Hellenistic time lord technique and dates back to the second century BCE. The method of Annual Profection emphasizes the ‘forward movement’ of your Rising sign or Ascendant from one house to the other. This method is thus based on locating your Rising Sign/Ascendant in your natal chart.
You can easily create your birth chart online via our birth chart calculator for free.

At whatever age you are, one of the twelve houses is pushed into an activation mode. At a particular age, a house (of 12) will fully express itself and exercise a predominant effect on your personality.
Each of the twelve houses represents various themes or different aspects of your personality. On each birthday, your rising sign jumps into the succeeding house and stays there till your next birthday. That house in which your rising sign stays will shape your personality for the rest of the year till your next birthday arrives.
This secret technique decodes your aims, purpose, mode of thinking, behavioral patterns, strong and weak traits, and overall personality for that year. In 12 years, you'll spend one year in each house and soaking in the magnetic currents set in motion by that house.
At the time of your birth, by rule, the Rising sign occupies the first house in your natal chart. Now don't consider that Aries always occupies the first house or is the Rising sign. Signs keep revolving, and different signs occupy the first house for different individuals. So, different individuals will have different ascendant or rising signs.
Your rising sign is fixed at the time of your birth - and that's in the first house. This means that when you're age zero - you are in the 'First House Profection Year.' Your rising sign will move to the second house when you celebrate your first birthday.
So, your age one corresponds to the 'Second House Profection Year.' On your second birthday, your rising sign will move to the third house until your rising sign reaches the twelfth house and starts its journey from the first house. Thus, this journey of your rising sign is a cycle of 12 years that repeats itself.
It's not only the house that's important while the rising sign moves from one house to the other. The sign that occupies that particular house is also important.

Let's take an example:

Consider your Rising sign is Gemini, and you're 33 years old. Now look up to the wheel or table of Profection and locate your Year of Profection. As per the chart, the 'number 33' corresponds to the 10th house Profection year. Now start counting from the sign of Gemini, taking it as your first sign. You must count till you arrive at the 10th sign. Gemini is the first sign, Cancer= 2, Leo= 3, Virgo= 4, Libra= 5, Scorpio= 6, Sagittarius= 7, Capricorn= 8, Aquarius= 9, and Pisces= 10.
So beginning from Gemini, Pisces is your tenth sign. And thus, your Gemini (the Rising sign) is in the 10th house and occupies the sign of Pisces. At age 33, your tenth house will fling into maximum activity and will rule the year till your next birthday arrives.
Now, after you've located the house and sign of your Ascendant, check for the ruler of the sign. Jupiter is the natural ruler of Pisces. Since Sagittarius coincides with the 10th house in your chart, you're Time Lord is Jupiter! So for the rest of the year, you will be under the influence of Pisces, and to be specific - you'll be under the heavy influence of Jupiter.
Jupiter will amplify the traits of the tenth house, and thus, in this year, you may become optimistic and might get opportunities to travel, seek a promotion, and choose higher education and might receive fame and honor.
You've found the Time Lord, but what do you do with this newfound Time Lord?
Here Jupiter is your natural ruler or the Time Lord. So, take your birth chart and locate the position of Jupiter in your chart. Check what sign and house Jupiter occupies in your natal chart. If you're smart enough, you may also check for transits and aspects the other planets make with Jupiter. This position of Jupiter in your natal chart will give you an in-depth view of how your year's going to be, what you can do to enhance your positive characteristics and what you must do to weed out your negative traits.
