How do I find my profection year-lord?

Start with the first house for the birth year and advance one house for each year of life, repeating every twelve years; the ruler of the activated house is the year-lord. The result depends on the natal Ascendant, so verify the birth chart and current age before identifying the ruler.

How long does a transit to the profection lord last?

There is no single duration because planetary speed and the adopted orb vary. The contact begins on entering the working orb, is most concentrated around exactness, and ends after leaving the orb; check the specific planet, aspect, and personal chart for dates.

Are all profection lord transits equally important?

No, the activated house and year-lord establish the annual topic, the transiting planet describes what presses it, and the aspect changes how that pressure operates. The year-lord’s condition and whether the aspect is applying or separating further alter emphasis, so an aspect label alone is not enough.

Profection Lord Transits

Your chart · time-limitedSteady♄︎Classical Astrology

Profection Lord Transits tracks contacts to the annual time-lord from the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. A contact activates within its working range and takes one of five forms: conjunction, opposition, trine, square, or sextile. Read the planet first, then whether the form concentrates, supports, or strains the year’s main themes.

In detail

Annual profection counts the birth year from the first house, advances one house for each year of life, and repeats on a twelve-year cycle. The ruler of the activated house becomes the annual time-lord. A variant is operative while a transiting planet lies within the adopted orb of conjunction, opposition, trine, square, or sextile to that lord, with exactness marking the center and separation beyond the orb ending the contact. Interpretation starts with the activated house and year-lord for the annual topic, adds the transiting planet for what is pressing the topic, and uses the aspect to distinguish concentration, polarity, ease, friction, or cooperation. Compare the planet first, then the aspect and whether it is applying or separating. Traditional practice usually prioritizes the seven classical planets, while modern extensions may include the outer planets.
