What's the Annual Profection Wheel?
Alright, let's start with the basics. The Annual Profection Wheel, also known as the Yearly Profection, is a predictive technique used in traditional astrology to understand how your life will unfold over the course of a year. It's like having a personal roadmap for the next 12 months, guiding you through the ups and downs, and helping you make the most of every opportunity that comes your way.
At its core, the Annual Profection Wheel is based on the concept of profection, which is Latin for 'to project' or 'to cast forward'. This technique projects the current year's age onto the natal chart, creating a new chart for the upcoming year. This new chart, or profection chart, highlights the areas of life that will be most active and significant during the coming year.
How Does the Annual Profection Wheel Work?
Now, you might be wondering how this magical wheel works. It's all about the Sun and its journey through the zodiac. You see, the Sun represents our ego, our identity, and our sense of self. As it moves through the signs, it highlights different aspects of our lives, casting its light on different houses in our natal chart.
Here's how it works:
1. Find your Solar Return chart: The process begins with your Solar Return chart, which is cast for your birthday each year. This chart represents the state of affairs at the moment the Sun returns to its exact natal position.
2. Identify the house the Sun is in: Look at the house that the Sun is in at the time of your Solar Return. This house will be the focus of the upcoming year. It represents the area of life that will be most active and significant.
3. Profect the chart: Now, we project the current year's age onto the natal chart. This is done by counting the number of houses from the Sun's current house to the next house cusp. The house that corresponds to your current age is the profection house for the year.
For example, if you're 25 years old and the Sun is in the 3rd house in your Solar Return chart, the 8th house (25 - 3 = 22, and 22 - 8 = 14, but we're looking for the house that corresponds to the current age, so we add 12 to get 26, which corresponds to the 8th house) would be the profection house for the year.
