Annual profections move the Ascendant forward one sign for every year of life, so the houses repeat every 12 years (ages 0, 12, 24, 36… are 1st-house years). The ruler of that sign is the Lord of the Year. Used from Hellenistic times to Bonatti. Entertainment only.

Annual profections are one of the oldest timing methods in astrology, used from Hellenistic times to medieval Europe. Each birthday the Ascendant moves forward one sign, so a different house of the chart — and its ruling planet, the Lord of the Year — becomes the focus of that year.
Choose your rising sign (find it with the rising sign calculator) and enter your birth date to see this year's house, sign and Lord of the Year, and the cycle for the next 12 years.
