A Practical Traditional Prediction Technique: Profections
Profections, which is one of the oldest prediction techniques of Traditional Astrology, is an efficient and practical technique that is easy to understand and to apply and to help us to determine a specified date both in past and future.
It is applied on the natal chart without erecting a new one (like Solar Return, Secondary Progression or Solar Arc). You do not need an Ephemeris. The only thing you should know is the age of the native in a given date. This information helps you make some general interpretations based on the related age and also on specific life events in certain months or days within the given age of the native. It means, Profections are used for making monthly and daily predictions, not only annual ones.
While using Profections, you may simply count the houses of the natal chart by hand in a sequence. The cusp of the 1st house starts with “0” and for each year you count one house in sequence. In other words, ASC is shifted one house for each year until you reach the given age of the native. As a result, you may have a general opinion for the native’s annual agenda. Let’s assume that the native is 51 years old and wants some information on this age, the profected ASC is shifted to the 4th house. Then, you may make general evaluations based on the planet(s) located in this house and the ruler of that house cusp. But it is not only that. If the native askes your comments for a specific date, then you make monthly and daily profection to find out the house which is related with this given date and make your comments based on the position of this house and its ruler (its position in Zodiac, its house and its aspects).
Profection technique is also used for determining the proper dates for any initiatives, together with the Electional Astrology technique. The best time for your client’s initiatives is determined through finding out the strongest planetary alignments or the strongest position of the ruler of that given year, month and day by using Profection technique. Consequently, you may contribute your client to decide making a more efficient beginning.
Profection technique may be used together with other prediction techniques. The easiest technique to work with is the Transits. Additionally, it may also be used with other traditional prediction techniques like Solar Return and Firdaria. Although they look different, these techniques are related with each other and bring parallel results. So, you have the chance to make a better prediction.
I advise everyone, who practices traditional or modern astrology, to learn and apply Profection which is a reliable technique I frequently use. This technique is also meaningful for realizing how our destiny works within our daily lives and for determining what type of experiences we may have in a certain period of time, not only for making predictions.
