Annual Profections Doctrine
Definition
Annual profections organize life topics by moving the yearly focus from the rising sign through the zodiac one sign at a time.
The activated sign and its domicile ruler frame a year-lord context; further judgement belongs to supporting techniques rather than the profection count alone.
History and sources
The local cited materials place annual profections in a Hellenistic and late-antique timing stream, with modern traditional authors used as practical guides to the basic procedure.
The bibliography also preserves broader variants around topical profections, planets in the profected sign, and later lord-of-the-year language.
How it is calculated
The annual calculation uses completed age, starts age zero at the first place, and advances by one whole sign for each completed year.
The same cited material records monthly and daily profection cadences as current public review, while keeping the annual cadence as the main public doctrine entry.
Variants
This account intentionally names the basic annual cadence and does not collapse every Valens, Paulus, topical, monthly, or daily lane into one universal rule.
Variant lanes should remain explicit when a page discusses activation by planets in the profected sign or profections from places other than the Ascendant.
What this doctrine covers
The cited material supports listing and detail-page explanation of the annual sign advance, activated house, profected sign, and domicile lord of the year.
It does not by itself publish transit, return-chart, or delineation claims for the lord of the year.
Scope and limitations
The public description stays at method level because the richer interpretive stack depends on additional reviewed rules and chart context.
Any future claim that the lord of the year produces a specific outcome should cite a more specific rule or fact entry.
Related practices
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.
