The Astrology School

This module teaches students how to use an ancient timing technique known as Annual Profections, which was the most widespread time-lord technique that was used during the ancient Greco-Roman tradition of astrology.

The module is presented through an online course site, with a lecture, written material, and examples which demonstrate how to apply the annual profections technique in practice.

The material contained in this module has been extracted from part 12 of the full Hellenistic Astrology Course, and is also available as part of the complete course. This class is for those who only want to study the annual profections technique on its own.

About Annual Profections

Annual Profections is the name commonly used to refer to the most widespread time-lord technique that was used during the Hellenistic tradition of astrology, which was practiced from roughly the 1st century BCE through the 7th century CE.

The premise of the Hellenistic time-lord techniques is that not all planets and placements in a birth chart are operating at their fullest potential at any given moment in time. Instead there are specific times in a person’s life when certain planets become activated or awakened, drawing out the full potential of those natal placements.

From a Hellenistic perspective this is the reason why sometimes modern astrologers will see an important transit coming up in the future, but then the date will go by without anything major happening, or with the event happening in an area of the life that is different than what was anticipated. Ancient astrologers believed that in order for a transiting planet to produce a specific event or occurrence in a person’s life, it must be activated as a time-lord at the time of the transit.

The annual profections time-lord technique is used in order to determine exactly which planets will be activated in a person’s life in a given year. This allows the astrologer to do things like pinpoint the most important transits that will actually coincide with an event in a given year. Annual profections also provides the context for interpreting transits, in order to determine which area of the native’s life a specific transit will be relevant to (e.g., finances, children, career, relationships, etc.).

With this information an astrologer can become more well-equipped to be able to say whether, for example, an upcoming Venus retrograde period will coincide with a major transition in the native’s life with respect to relationships, or if instead it will involve a change of careers. The ability to study transits contextually is an important component of transit analysis in general, and without it the study of transits is significantly hindered.

Finally, annual profections can be used in order to determine what some of the primary themes are that will arise during the course of the year, as well as whether the year will tend to be experienced as more positive or more challenging. When used in this way annual profections can enhance and compliment the information that is provided by other yearly techniques, such as solar returns.
