AnnualProfectionsareamethodofprogressingthechartatarateof30degreesperyearandcanbe
brokendownevenfurtherintomonthlyanddailyprofections,asfollows:
30degrees=1year
2degreesand30min=1month
1degree=every12days
35min=1week
5min=1day
There are software programs available that can calculate profections, but for those people that don't
have access to this option, you can do it manually to get a pretty close idea of what the annual,
monthlyanddailyprofectionswillbeforanyyear.

As an example. we will use a birthdate of March 12, 1949. Age is 57 years old. (Annual profections
always start on a person's first birthday and change to the next sign on each following birthday.) We
wanttoseewhattheannualprofectionwillbefortheascendantonthedateofApril15,2006.

2.Discardthewholenumber(4)andkeeponlytheremainder(75),pastthedecimalpoint.

3.Multiplytheremainder,.75by12.Thisgivesthenumber9.(Remembertoincludethedecimalpointor

andeveryplanetandcusp.Alwayscountthefirstsignas0,then1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8andfinally9,(which
is the same thing as counting 10 full houses). Since we're focusing on the natal Aquarius ascendant,
thisputsthenewlyprofectedascendantonthemidheavenofthechartinthesignofScorpio.

5. To narrow it down even further, look atthe degree ofthe ascendant which is5AQU57. Figure out

7. The Annual Profected Ascendant is now at 8 degrees SCORPIO 42 minutes, which should come
prettyclosetothesoftwarecalculation.

8. The Profected Ascendant Lord is now Mars, which will be the most important planet governing the
57thyear.

Note:Profectionsrepresenttheunfoldingofissuesastheyoccurduringtheyearinquestion.Therefore
ifyou'reconcernedaboutmarriage,thenfocusonprofectedVenusforexample.Or,ifyouwanttofocus
on financial or health issues, then profect the Part of Fortune or the ascendant. Whatever planets
happen to be in the profected sign in question shows you how the events will play themselves out

the lord of the profected sign to see where its placed, as well as transits to that lord. Also check the
