Annual profection is one of the most fundamental timing techniques in classical astrology. Each birthday, your chart advances to the next house. At age 0, the 1st house (Ascendant), at age 1, the 2nd house, at age 12, back to the 1st house... This cycle continues throughout life.
The sign of the house where the profection year is active, and the ruling planet of that sign (the time lord), determine the main themes and energy of that year. The time lord's condition in the natal chart (dignity, house, aspects) indicates the quality of the year.
This technique has been explained in detail by ancient sources such as Vettius Valens (2nd century) and Abu Ma'shar (9th century) and has been used for centuries.
