Annual profections are a hellenistic technique that connects each year of life to a specific house with the timelord simply being the ruler of that house
The technique is incredibly simple so anyone can use it!
There are all kinds of handy charts you can Google like this one that do the work for you. All you have to do is find your age on the wheel. Note that the 1H starts at 0
So let's look at an example
Using my chart, we would use the wheel to see which house is associated w/ my age
I'm 27 so that puts me in a 4H profection year. My 4H is Aries so my timelord is Mars
This means Mars is activated for me this year and if I had any 4H planets they would be as well
