Do you ever wish that you could get a sneak peek at your future? Using the method of annual profections you can glimpse behind the curtain of your birthchart and gain valuable information about the years to come. 

The simplest astrological technique you've never heard of, profections are also referred to as "natal promise reports" and it's a subject area blowing up on TikTok as people wonder what's on the horizon for them for the coming year. (And although TikTok hopped on this trend right around the new year, it's worth noting that annual profections are pinned to your age, not the calendar year.)
 
The profections technique uses the houses of the natal chart to map your yearly age progression. Starting in the first house we are age zero (newly born), in the 2nd house age one, in the 3rd house age three, and so on continuing counterclockwise around the wheel, around and around, populating each house by age. Depending on which house is activated during a certain age, the "flavor" of that year will be influenced by that house's themes. For example, a 68-year-old person is in the 9th house—themes of long-distance travel, adventure, philosophy, higher education will dominate. Someone who is 30 will fall in the 7th house where themes of partnerships, marriage, and one-on-one interactions will take the main stage.

The Natal Promise Report details the history, philosophy, and practice of this traditionally popular astrological technique so that anyone can apply it to their charts or that of their friends, family, or clients. Liam Sofias lays out the foundations of predictive astrology and offers a fully workable system using profections for anyone to use on their chart or the charts of others. This book won’t require deep astrological knowledge and yet it will go farther in depth than most beginner works. It will walk people through why each part of the profection method means what it does by teaching the fundamental building blocks used in the technique.

Whether it’s a new calendar year or you’re turning one year older, knowing what the next 12 months may bring can be both exhilarating and daunting. Whether it's love life, reputation, health, finances, or just about any other topic. Gaining even just a little insight into the themes that will dominate your year can be centering and instructive. Annual profections—looking at the natal promise in your chart—is an increasingly popular predictive method in astrology, offering a personal calendar to track these changes, giving us a much-needed structure to contextualize our lives.
