Profection

Also called: annual profection

Annual profection, an ancient timing method where each year of life advances one house (age 0 the 1st, age 1 the 2nd, and so on, repeating every 12 years). The ruler of that year's house becomes the 'lord of the year', the planet whose themes are most activated.
