primarily working with for ease of calculations are True astrology, Solar Fire Deluxe,
Jyotishya Deepika Ultimate Astracadabra, and KPAstro. (Refinements and additions will be
made at a later date, and chart examples will follows as time permits. I will share with you
my findings as I move further along in my research, as I find Profections to be quite a
valuable aid for those interested in Predictive Astrology, o please bear with me as I put
together
some
of
the
basics.)
Preliminary
Guidelines
for
Analysis
Profection Chart:
House activated.
Solar Return Chart: How we handle the activated house that the Profection Chart has
highlighted. Our will or volition for managing these affairs of the Profection.
Transit Chart: The planetary dances that run interference with these experiences;
supporting or challenging the energies at play.
The spotlight,
or focus
of
activity being
highlighted.;
the
Preliminary notes should be readily available in advance on the running dasas taking place
at the time of the Profection and Solar Return assessments, along with the dasa lords natal
significations, star and sub lords (both natally and in transit), relationships of star lords to
their sub lords, along with noting their cuspal lordships. Aspects of dasha lords to Profection
and Solar Return lagna lords and key players, along with noting the new angles of both
Profection and Solar Return Charts - and planets placed within should be given due
credence. Part of Fortune, Chiron, and outer planets should not be underestimated in
synthesis. (My personal preference for delineation is Sidereal: KP and Placidus House, along
with True Nodes). Karakas are always relevant, and it goes without saying we should follow
closely
the
transits
of
Jupiter,
Saturn,
and
the
Nodes.
1.

2.
Note the House that the Profection Ascendant falls in. This is the area the spotlight
shines brightly on, and the focus House of activity. If there are two houses involved due to
interception, follow through further to research when (the Profection date) that focus will
narrow down to one specific house by falling on the cusp, and keep track of activity
involving both houses throughout that time frame. Do any planets join the Ascendant?
3.
Note the position of the Profection lagna lordconsider this as a sort of Year Lord for
the time in question. Note this Profection lagna lords position in the Solar Return Chart,
along
with
the
Natal
chart.
What
are
the
areas
of
influence?
4.
Note the influences of the aspects, the new Angular focus of the chart, the Part of
Fortune, Chiron, planets in profected lagna and joining profected lagna lord, and profected
planetary placements. Note placement of the personal planets (Sun and Moon) relative to
new
Profected
lagna.
5.
Now do the same with the Solar Return, following up on where the Solar Return
Ascendant falls, its lord, where this lord is profecting (through what house in Profection
chart)
and
repeat
all
of
the
above
steps.
6.
If the Profection chart in closing in on the next birthday (or is closer to the next
birthday), consider evaluating both the current Solar Return and the following Solar Return
to get a better feel of where the energy is heading. Often times 3 to 6 months prior to the
next Solar Return the client will feel the effects of the upcoming Solar Return rather than
the previous Return. My preference is to calculate using the NEAREST Solar Return Chart.
Work
with
the
charts
and
get
a
feel
for
your
individual
preference.
7.
Relocate the Solar Return Chart to the exact place the client is positioned at the time
the Solar Return takes place. Check SR aspects to one another, and note the houses that
the planets fall in. Pay special attention to the placement of the Sun in the relocated SR
Chart from both the relocated SR ascendant and the Profected ascendant, and note the SR
aspects to and from the Sun. Also note if SR Sun falls in an angular sign relative to the SR
Ascendant,
etc.
8.
See if the SR planets are well integrated in the SR chart, or if one particular planet
seems to be irresponsive with respect to integrating - in some manner - with other planets.
(An unaspected Solar Return Planet may not support the way in which matters are being
handled with respect to the focus (Profection Chart), so determine if there is a particular
planet floundering aimlessly around in the SR chart - with not much direction. If so, often
times that planet in the SR will display the negative characteristics of his energy, and even
disrupt progress. However, also note this planets effects natally (and in transit) prior to
determining the effects that are likely to manifest, as counter-indications may either lighten
or
intensify
effects,
and
the
Natal
holds
the
promise.
9.
Have a ready reckoner on the status of chart Marakas and the Badhaka for Natal and
Solar Return charts if there are concerns, and/or your attention is drawn to matters of
health
and
physical
well
being.
10. Note in the SR Chart if there is a predominance of planets in a certain element to get
a better handle on how one is likely to handle the affairs of the Profection. For example, if
the SR has an abundance of planets placed in Water signs, the response may be emotionally
based, whereas if the predominance of planets lies in the air signs, the affairs of the
Profection may be more rationally based. Do the same with respect to the effects of
Moveable, Fixed, and Dual energies (Western being Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable) to
determine the years energy when assessing initiative and drive in handling the focus the
Profection
spotlights
and
brings
forth.
11.
Say that the Profection Chart lagna falls in the 10th in Capricorn. You would then
closely watch the activity through the 10th and Capricorn along with Saturns transits, and
the aspects to and from 10th lord Saturn. Saturn being time lord of activity becomes
highly
significant
and
dominant.
12.
Note what planets within a house go to an Angle in the Profection and Solar Return
Charts (angle meaning from the Profection and Solar Return Ascendant). Planets involved
in angular planetary positions often trigger events, which revolve around the nature of the
planet
posited
in
the
angle.
The additional information given below is based on my ongoing research with respect to
integrating the personal points, Sun, Moon, and Lagna, or further detail in delineation in the
Profection Chart. This is for your consideration in addition to - and with consideration to the
above.
The Profection Sun appears to relate to experiences and opportunities given to us in this
particular time frame on our journey through life, and is relative to what areas of interest
we will personally be involved with - on a physical level - during this time frame. The
placement of the Sun in the Profection Chart shows what areas - ripe for us to experience have opened up. And as relative to our opportunities, follow through to note the Sun's
dispositor, where the Sun's dispositor is located relative to using natal and Profection lagna,
and note what that placement can infer with respect to unveiling timely circumstances and
experiences. I am also currently researching the Profected Sun as lagna for the time frame
- with some telling results...You can test using the Sun as lagna if so inclined - using the
same parameters - and follow through with the same criteria as stated in my former
sentence, and note (in as many charts as possible) what information is revealed, and its
relevance.
The Profection Moon shows our emotional and mental response to our experiences for the
time frame we are referencing, and reveals how we are mentally and emotionally reacting to
- and internally experiencing - what is happening in our personal environment. Again follow
through with disposition and placement of the Moon's dispositor and see what information
this additionally reveals to us. The Moon can be very telling, and shows how we emotionally
and intellectually respond to the current experiences we are given - or how we internally
feel about what is currently happening in our lives. Again, my research is elementary at this
point but again is encouraging - so also investigate the Profection Moon as lagna and note
planetary
placements.
The Profection Lagna - the time lord of activity - shows our actions and activity during this
particular time frame, and what influences we deliberately bring to the table based on our
individual environment, and based on the opportunities and experiences given to us by the
Sun. Look at the lagna to see the period's responses to the opportunities we are presented
with, and follow through with the suggestions (above) as relative for the Sun and Moon. For
all 3 personal lagna's, do not overlook noting the placement of the dasha and bhukti lords,
and see how they may present themselves favorably - or through challenge - to the
"opportunities, emotional and mental responses, and activities" as represented by the
Profected Sun, Moon, and Lagna respectively. And lastly - don't forget to diligently watch
the transits - which often times target with direct aim - revealing the sequence of events as
they
unfold...
The technique of Profections seems to me to be quite a valuable - but lost or forgotten
technique - previously used quite successfully for prediction in another era. The information
I have experimented with and given in the above paragraphs has been to me both
significant and relevant - however there is a depth necessary to evaluating this grade and
type of info - and therefore likely requires an extensive application of mind on the
Astrologer's part - coupled with an ability to synthesize and integrate multiple factors
simultaneously - and perhaps not necessarily meant for the beginning Student of Astrology.
Skills of integration and synthesis while considering multiple factors - along with having an
experienced Astrological background on both theory and technique - will assist one in
making proper assessments. As always - the skill of the Astrologer is detrimental for
predictive success...and none of us is infallible...So although the Profection process and
technique is pretty straightforward and simple enough to draw up - intense application of
mind is where the challenge lies. My feeling is that the challenge should be looked upon with
both excitement and curiosity - but the challenge should never be underestimated...Look
long
and
hard
at
all
factors...
After noting what sign and house the Profected Lagna, Sun and Moon are posited in, take it
a bit further now, and check the condition, dignity, placement, etc, of their dispositor's in
the Solar Return Chart. The Part of Fortune assessment can additionally be included in all of
the above criteria...but be sure to differentiate between day and night births when
calculating the Part of Fortune. According to researchers of the ancient astrological texts,
the correct method of calculating the Part of Fortune is to use Ascendant + Moon - Sun for
daytime births, and Ascendant + Sun - Moon for nighttime births. Also, it will pay to be
attentive to all Profected planets that may be crossing Natal angles, and note their
significance.

After my growing interest in January/February of 2006 - with respect to investigating further the long lost
technique of Profections - both on its own and in combination with Dashas, Solar Returns, Natal and Transit
Charts - I was both surprised and delighted to learn from a colleague, a few months after my initial post on
my Astrology Research Group, that a wonderful new article had been recently released in April/May 2006
issue of The Mountain Astrologer, entitled Forecasting for the Year: Profections and the Solar Return - by
Maria J. Mateus. At that point I renewed my subscription to TMA - which I had let laspe for far too long. So
for those with a further interest in Profections - if you have access to TMA, please read this article. Although
written and published for the Tropical Zodiac, the article is both enriching and enlightening, as the author
brings out some fine points, and it is certainly well worth the read.
