Annual Profections Doctrine

A traditional timing technique that advances the natal chart one sign per completed year, identifying the activated place and its ruler for that year.

Annual profections are closely related to solar revolution work because both may name a yearly ruler or yearly chart context in medieval and modern traditional workflows.

Annual profections organize life topics by moving the yearly focus from the rising sign through the zodiac one sign at a time.

Any future claim that the lord of the year produces a specific outcome should cite a more specific rule or fact row.

It does not by itself publish transit, return-chart, or delineation claims for the lord of the year.

The activated sign and its domicile ruler frame a year-lord context; further judgement belongs to supporting techniques rather than the profection count alone.

The corpus also preserves broader variants around topical profections, planets in the profected sign, and later lord-of-the-year language.

The first-pass calculation uses completed age, starts age zero at the first place, and advances by one whole sign for each completed year.

The local source notes place annual profections in a Hellenistic and late-antique timing stream, with modern traditional authors used as practical guides to the basic procedure.

The public description stays at method level because the richer interpretive stack depends on additional reviewed rules and chart context.

The public row paraphrases the reviewed source notes and keeps locators at source-key level rather than exposing extraction filenames or private review paths.

The reviewed row intentionally names the basic annual cadence and does not collapse every Valens, Paulus, topical, monthly, or daily lane into one universal rule.

The same source note records monthly and daily profection cadences as current product policy, while keeping the annual cadence as the main public doctrine row.

This row supports listing and detail-page explanation of the annual sign advance, activated house, profected sign, and domicile lord of the year.

Variant lanes should remain explicit when a page discusses activation by planets in the profected sign or profections from places other than the Ascendant.
