ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIVE TECHNIQUES | 6. MANILIUS-STYLE PROFECTIONS
JANUARY 17, 2012 ANTHONY   3 COMMENTS
This is the last planned post exploring the use of profections.  Like the previous one, which dealt with degree-based Persian-style profections, this one is presented more for the sake of completeness in discussing the appearance of profectional techniques in Hellenistic and Persian astrology, than intended as endorsement in practice.  I have an additional motivation for discussing the great variety of methods and opinions pertaining to profections in ancient astrology as well.  I long to convey to the reader the greater degree of diversity and richness that is found in astrology of the ancient period, in order to quell false notions that earlier astrology is more cut-and-dry, conforming in technique and attitude, narrow in scope, and fatalistic in philosophy.  The first one thousand years of the horoscopic tradition represent the richest body of astrological technique and opinion we have, which can provide a lifetime of new insights and challenges, deepening our tool-set, and enriching our practice.  I discuss this a little further in the series of posts, “Ancient Astrologers Didn’t All Agree“.

For those unfamiliar with the basic technique of annual and monthly profections, please review the first three posts of the series which introduce annual profections, those of smaller periods, and some ways the profected Ascendant or “terminal sign”, and its ruler, are combined with other predictive techniques.  I use basic annual annual and monthly profections very heavily in my own chart work and find them indispensable.

Introduction

In Book 3 of his Astronomica, Manilius (1st Century CE) described two different methods of profection.  First (about lines 510-529), he presented a method of profection I have not seen elsewhere, which is the topic of this post.  Next (about lines 537-559), he presented a different method attributed to “some who approve of an alternative scheme” (p. 207), which is the familiar use of profecting the Ascendant one whole sign for various discrete periods of time, particularly one year (Goold, 1977).  It is interesting that the method first discussed by Manilius which he seemed to favor is the more idiosyncratic one that we don’t see in other sources.

Profect the Sun Annually, Moon Monthly, and Ascendant for Days and Hours

In the method of Manilius for the annual profection we move the Sun (one sign per year), while for the monthly profection we move the Moon (one sign per month).  The Ascendant is profected for groups of days and hours, with some confusion as to the time period used.  In fact, there are many ambiguities in the discussion and questions that naturally arise with it.  Let’s let Manilius explain the basic method and then we’ll discuss some of the difficulties with employing it.

Now I shall assign their special periods of life in classes to the signs; for the signs are also allotted to their own particular years and months and days and hours of days; and during these periods they each exercise special influence.  The first year of life will belong to that sign in which at birth the Sun has shone, since the Sun takes a year’s duration to traverse the firmament; the next and subsequent years are consecutively bestowed upon the signs in their order.  The Moon shall denote the months, since in a month it completes its course.  The Horoscope [Ascendant] brings under its regency the first days and the first hours, and hands the others to the following signs.  Thus did nature wish year and months and days and even hours to be duly counted out through the signs, that every period of time might be distributed over every sign of the zodiac and vary its movements through the sequence of signs, according as it made a change to each one as it came round in the circle.  (Manilius, Astronomica, 3.510-521, Goold trans., 1977, p. 205)

Annual Profection

In this scheme the sign of the year is that into which the Sun profects at a rate of one sign per year from its birth position.  For instance, a 31 year old who was born with a Sagittarius Sun,  would find oneself in a Cancer year.  This is because  he would come back to a Sagittarius year at age 36 (and any other multiple of 12), so the 31st birthday, 5 signs before the Sagittarius 36th, would put us at Cancer – (let’s see, Scorpio at 35, Libra at 34, Virgo at 33, Leo at 32, Cancer at 31).  So apparently, under this method the annual profection of the Sun marks the sign of the year, and is the main profection at that level.  This varies from the predominant view that the annual profection of the Ascendant is most important, as well as that of Valens where the annual profection of the Sect Light and Ascendant are important (often times that of the Sect Light even more so to Valens).

Monthly Profection

Here’s where things start to really get sticky.  Manilius appears to be advising us to take monthly profections from the Moon. This seems to imply that monthly profections are disjointed from annual profections, rather than dividing them up into twelve months, because a profection from the natal Moon has a different starting point, and it is unclear what sort of months are intended.  For instance, if one were born December  1, 1980 with a Libra Moon (hypothetical), then we might be tempted to count calendar months to the present day, which is not a difficult task, since the Moon would profect back to the natal sign every December of every year.  This being January, the Moon would profect to Scorpio (one sign after Libra, as January is one month after December). However, it is unclear whether calendar months are intended or some other more astronomical lunar month, such as the synodic month of about 29.5 days or the sidereal month of about 27.5 days.  If one of these other months are used, over time you will get other indications for the sign of the month.

Daily and Hourly Profections

The daily and hourly profections are the most difficult to understand.  It appears that Manilius is separating out two different rates, a daily rate and an hourly rate.  The problem is that the system seems to depend on using different points for different rates in a symbolic fashion, but here the Ascendant is used for two very different rates.

The way that Manilius presented the more common profectional technique later in his book suggested that he used planetary hours for hourly rates, in which there are 12 planetary hours in a day based on division of the length of day (sunrise and sunset) and that of night (sunset to sunrise).  That discussion also seemed to imply that the daily rate was one sign per day.

My best hypothesis as to how to find the daily profectional sign is to count the number of days since your birth to the present time (it may help to use a date duration calculator online), then divide the number of days by 12 and take the remainder (find the remainder by taking the portion after the decimal and multiplying it by 12) as the number of signs past your Ascendant.  For instance, if your Ascendant is Aquarius and the remainder is 3, then the sign of the day is Taurus (i.e. count Pisces, Aries, Taurus).

My best hypothesis for the hour is that every day at your birth time is the start of the hour that pertains to your Ascendant.  For instance, if one were born at 3pm with an Aquarius Ascendant, then every day at 3pm would start the Aquarius hour.  To do a rough estimate, the sign of the hour would change about every 2 clock hours.  So around 5pm would star the Pisces hour of the day.  Since it would cycle through 12 in a day, these hours would be in the same order starting from the birth time each day.

Conclusion

Annual and monthly profections of the Ascendant have won me over as to their value time and time again.  Many of the other types of profections, including this one by Manilius seem like they could be fun to play around with, and I hope with time they might prove themselves useful.  They haven’t yet impressed me, but I definitely advocate experimenting with them and urge you to keep me informed about what you find. Happy journeys.

Profections - How to count them manually

(Although Profections have nothing at all to do with the KP system, Sandy has introduced them to the world of KP thru her research and studies and has found them to be quite a useful tool to use no matter what system of astrology you prefer. So I will include them here as well, in spite of the fact that  Profections have their origins in Classical and Medieval astrology.)

Annual Profections are a method of progressing the chart at a rate of 30 degrees per year and can be broken down even further into monthly and daily profections , as follows:

30 degrees = 1 year
2 degrees and 30 min = 1 month
1 degree = every 12 days
35 min = 1 week
5 min = 1 day

There are software programs available that can calculate profections, but for those people that don't have access to this option, you can do it  manually to get a pretty close idea of what the annual, monthly and daily profections will be for any year.


As an example. we will use a birthdate of March 12, 1949. Age is 57 years old. (Annual profections always start on a person's first birthday and change to the next sign on each following birthday.) We want to see what the annual profection will be for the ascendant on the date of April 15, 2006.


1. Take the age, 57 and divide it by 12. This equals 4.75.


2. Discard the whole number (4) and keep only the remainder (75), past the decimal point.


3. Multiply the remainder, .75 by 12. This gives the number 9. (Remember to include the decimal point or you will come up with 900 instead of 9).


4. This means that everything in the natal chart has now moved up 9 signs for the 57th year from each and every planet and cusp. Always count the first sign as 0, then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and finally 9, (which is the same thing as counting 10 full houses). Since we're focusing on the natal Aquarius ascendant, this puts the newly profected ascendant on the midheaven of the chart in the sign of Scorpio.


5. To narrow it down even further, look at the degree of the ascendant which is 5 AQU 57. Figure out how much time has passed so far since the last birthday and the transit date of April 15, 2006. It is one month and 3 days.


6. Therefore you can write it out as follows:


    57 years old = 9 signs = SCORPIO
    Natal Asc =   5 degrees 57 minutes
 + One month =  2 degrees 30 minutes
 + 3 days =         0 degrees 15 minutes
   TOTAL =      7 degrees 102 minutes = 8 degrees 42 minutes


7. The Annual Profected Ascendant is now at 8 degrees SCORPIO 42 minutes, which  should come pretty close to the software calculation.


8. The Profected Ascendant Lord is now Mars, which will be the most important planet governing the 57th year.


Note: Profections represent the unfolding of issues as they occur during the year in question. Therefore if you're concerned about marriage, then focus on profected Venus for example. Or, if you want to focus on financial or health issues, then profect the Part of Fortune or the ascendant. Whatever planets happen to be in the profected sign in question shows you how the events will play themselves out during that progressed period of time. If there are no planets in the sign of the profection, then look at the lord of the profected sign to see where its placed, as well as transits to that lord. Also check the conditions of these rulers in the Solar Return chart as well as the natal to get an overall picture of how the year will unfold. I prefer to relocate the Solar Return chart. Some astrologers differ on this, but to each his own.


There is also a concept in Profections that although is a medieval one is called "Handings Over", where you look at only the ASC, MC, SUN, MOON and PART OF FORTUNE. (though you can use other points as well). Then you check to see if the newly profected sign has any natal planets in it. For example, say a person has Moon and Jupiter in the midheaven natally in the sign of Libra. Now the profected MC comes along that year and conjuncts it.  So the MC would have "handed over" the Moon and Jupiter, thus highlighting those planets for the year and bringing them out front and center stage, so to speak.

Tutorial on Profection & Solar Return
Click here for an Example Chart Analysis using this Technique:
Method of Profection and Solar Return Analysis
For those of you unfamiliar with Profections, the directed Profection (annual) rate is equivalent to a direction arc of 30 degrees per year, except Profections move everything at a rate of 30 degrees , or one sign each year, or 2.5 degrees per month. As stated in the index of Solar Fire: "Profection Annual“ an annual rate of 30 degrees, corresponding to a direction of one sign (or house) per year." So start with the Ascending degree representing age 0. One sign ahead moves the ascendant a full 30 degrees and marks the first birthday. Another 30 degrees and you've got the second birthday. The twelfth birthday, and also the 24th, 36th, 48th, etc., is always back to the Ascendant again. This method was apparently very common in ancient times and was also used by medieval astrologers also until it fell out of favor after the Renaissance.

Profection: This is an ancient system of moving the planets and points in the chart, one house per year of life as explained above, and is a technique taken from the Hellenistic Era. Within this system of analysis using Profections to determine and time the area of focus for the year, the chart may be further moved by subdividing the house into smaller units of time. So basically, Profections represent the unfolding of a specific area of life, coming into focus at a certain time of life. It is a "Time Lord" Methodology, based on annual rotation of the Natal Chart, to determine one's yearly focus.

 This Methodology description below is preliminary and basic, and something I am currently working on researching...Results to date have been very encouraging, and well worth my time investment. The way I am working with Profections is based on the integration and synthesis referencing the Natal Chart, Transit Chart, Profection Chart, and Solar Return Charts, using Sidereal rather than Tropical Zodiac positions. The Software programs I am 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

Natal Chart: This is the promise.
Profection Chart: The spotlight, or focus of activity being highlighted.; the 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.

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.        Construct the Profection Chart. (If you are unfamiliar with Profections or need assistance with constructing this chart, please visit Donna’s website fort visuals http://www.sageasita.com/visual-eight.html
http://www.sageasita.com/visual-nine.html

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 lord…consider this as a sort of Year Lord for the time in question. Note this Profection lagna lord’s 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 planet’s 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 Saturn’s 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.

Ето как Vettius Valens в IV книга разглежда профекциите:

Когато искаме да разберем за събития свързани с тялото и душата, профектираме АСЦЕНДЕНТА.
Когато славата, достойнството, изяществото, бащата или по-властни хора са замесени, профектираме СЛЪНЦЕТО. Профектираме годината като започваме от Слънцето
Когато опасности за тялото, слабости, кръвоизливи, майката е замесена, профектираме ЛУНАТА.
За действия, прехрана, професия, профектираме МЕРИДИАНА ИЛИ КУЛМИНИРАЩИЯТ ДОМ.
За просперитет и придобивки, профектираме ТОЧКАТА НА ЩАСТИЕТО.
За смърт и мъчения, профектираме ДЕСЦЕНДЕНТА.
За постоянни неща като собственост, скрити работи и неща свързани със смъртта, профектираме ДОЛНИЯТ КУЛМИНИРАЩ ДОМ ИЛИ ИМУМ ЦЕЛИ.
За жени, връзки, брак и всичко женско, профектираме ВЕНЕРА.
За военни неща и всички обществени работи, профектираме МАРС.
За провали или лишения, наследства, тайни страдания, бащини наследства, профектираме САТУРН.
За слава, приятелство, подкрепа и съюзничество, богатство, профектираме ЮПИТЕР.
За сдружения, общества, слуги, роби, дебит и кредит, писания, профектираме МЕРКУРИЙ.
Валенс пояснява, че сред всички точки, които можем да профектираме, най-важните са асцендента, Слънцето и Луната. Нещо повече, асцендента има свой собствен, по-изчистен и съвършен смисъл, както описват Доротей и Павел Александрийски и е потвърдено по-късно от арабите, които наричат профекциите с персийската дума, salkhudâh („Властелинът или Управителят на годината“) като Господарят на асцендента придобива привилегията да управлява хороскопа, т.е. живота на родения в продължение на годината.
