Repeating Years, Repeating Themes Leisa Schaim

Annual Profections

• A timing technique that shows when certain

themes are more active in a person’s life

• All parts of chart not equally active all the time
• Specific natal placements activated that year

When?

• Runs from one birthday to the next
• If you know how old someone is, you

know the profection year they’re in.

• One of very few things in astrology that is

same for everyone at the same ages

Whole Sign Houses

Profection Examples

Age 28 = 5th house profection year

*

Age 27 = 4th house profection year

*

Age 20 = 9th house profection year

*

Profection year themes

• 1st house – Bodily matters, appearance, identity
• 2nd house – Income, property, finances
• 3rd house - Siblings, education, communication
• 4th house – Home, parents, family, ancestry
• 5th house – Children, pregnancy, sexuality, creativity
• 6th house – Illness/injury, work, coworkers/employee

Profection year themes

• 7th house – Relationships, marriage, divorce
• 8th house – Debts, joint finances, death, loss
• 9th house – Higher education, religion, travel
• 10th house – Career, public recognition, supervisors
• 11th house – Friends, groups, networking
• 12th house – Hospitals, prison, solitude, ashrams

Internal/External

• These activated themes can either be obvious

and external, or more subtle and in the background

• Since something is activated every year, major

events aren’t going to be happening all the time, but will still be some sort of focus there

Repetition Example Charts

12 Year Cycle

• The cycle starts over at age 12, repeating each

house’s themes every twelve years.

• Use multiples of 12 as a shortcut for

calculating – 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84

Transits

• Transits one variable between profection

repetitions

• Profections also activate the transits to and

from house ruler

• Transits to and from that planet become more

important that year

Timing by Transit

• If major, specific external event that year,

generally triggered by a transit

• Topic shown by profected house and where

ruler is placed

• The timing you watch is transits to or from

ruler of the profected house

• Transits through profected house also can

time events

Traditional Rulerships

• Traditional rulerships used for house rulers

and transits

• Capricorn and Aquarius ruled by Saturn
• Aries and Scorpio ruled by Mars
• Pisces ruled by Jupiter

Age 31 = 8th house profection year Transits to and from Saturn

Age 38 = 3rd house profection year

Age 23 = 12th house profection year

Relationship with Planetary Cycles

• Overlaps between profection years and
• uter planet cycles (Jupiter onward) can

lend additional insights

• Intensifies transit if these planets are

placed in those houses

Jupiter Cycle

• Annual profections and the Jupiter cycle are

both 12-year cycles

• However, involve totally different houses and

themes most of the time

• Jupiter is about expansion; profections are

about whichever houses and planets are activated

Ages of Overlap

• Jupiter return happens at ages 11-12, 23-24,
• etc. depending on chart specifics
• Annual profection ages are always the same:

11 is a 12th house profection year

• 12 is a 1st house profection year
• 23 is a 12th house profection year
• 24 is a 1st house profection year

• Can be confused with each other, but

their natures are very different

• Great difficulties sometimes happen

during 12th house years, unrelated to Jupiter

• They can happen simultaneously but

involve different areas of life

• If Jupiter happens to be in 1st house,

emphasized and topical

Saturn return

• Commonly ages 27-31
• 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th house profections
• Home, having children, injury/illness,

marriage/divorce, and loss common themes

• Example: Saturn natally placed in 6th house, at

age 29 those significations are heightened during Saturn return

Midlife Transits

• Saturn opposite Saturn
• Uranus opposite Uranus
• Commonly ages 41-43
• 6th, 7th, 8th house profections
• Issues of injury/illness, marriage/divorce,

loss/mortality

• If Saturn or Uranus natally placed in these houses

during opposition, transit will be heightened

Different Uses

• Predictive
• General life themes
• Underlying structures

• Additional tool to be more specific about what

is happening in a chart

• As with other cycles, can look back to see how

previous instance went

• You can anticipate for yourself or client what

kind of space one might be in
