I’m glad to have found your channel. I was taught to incorporate and delineate the planets occupying the profected house but not to prioritize them over the house ruler. With the approach you present here, how do you consider years when the profected house contains a natal stellium of traditional planets? Do you pick one to be the “final boss”? do you simply embrace that the native will be pulled in every direction that year? Or something else?

[@eclecticoccultista]

Thanks for your kind comment and for the question! I was taught something similar originally, but I think the main nuance that I've recently shifted to is prioritizing planets in the houses of the profected year first owing to this notion of immediacy. Hopefully, I conveyed it properly in the video, but basically, if you have planets in the house that's activated for the year -- including a stellium -- you might want to start your delineation there since the effects of those planets could be more immediate and their influence more foregrounded in the year ahead. To put it another way, since that is the house of the profected ascendant, that will become your de facto first house for the year, so those planets will likely be far more personal to you and of likely greater effect than the house topics of the LOY. The LOY is still important as it baselines the life pattern for those events and will also point to themes that will be woven into the year ahead don't get me wrong, but the point I was trying to get across was don't go there first -- only when the sign of the year is empty then do the topics of the year get more wrapped up with the house where the LOY is located. I think the main difference with emphasizing the sign of the year is eliminating the notion, which I was originally taught and I don't know if you were taught this too, but that the LOY "turns on" all the related houses: i.e., the sign of the year is turned on in a profection year, as is the LOY and any other house that lord rules and you get an indiscriminate confluence of the three houses and their themes. While I think that remains true with respect to the house of the profected ascendant and the LOY, I feel like the importance placed on the sign of the year is sometimes de-emphasized and I wanted to stress that one shouldn't jump straight from the profected house over to the LOY and its themes without exhausting the delineation of the sign of the year first. The LOY will give you an indication of how those affairs will be managed and the baseline expectation owing to its location and condition, but the planets in the house of the profected year will be felt more immediately. As for the question about a stellium and "de facto" LOYs, that's a bit murkier if I'm looking for an answer that's based on the source texts. Abu Ma'shar makes this comment about fortunes and infortunes being more powerful than the LOY if they are situated in the house of the profected ascendant and he suggests that they ought to be treated "like the lord of the Ascendant" when the profected year comes to the house containing them. What I think that basically goes back to is the idea that the planets in the sign of the year carry a lot of weight and should be first and foremost in the analysis, so you'd be really interested in the benefics and malefics in that case and if they are involved in the storyline for the profecetd year and how they influence that topic (also, if they are regarding the sign of the year and by what kind of aspect). Does that help?

[@terra_affirma]

@ amazing response! Thanks for the clarification. If I'm reading you correctly, then the bottom line isn't that the planet(s) in the profected house become timelords (or replace the ruling time lord) but that since they run their business from that location, they and all their ups/downs/quirks will by definition come into play and color the year as events unfold, as they are still integral to the natal promise of that house’s topics. I have definitely found that the profected house itself carries a core theme and should not be skipped, but I have also found the themes of the TL-occupied house and its other ruled house, if applicable, consistently weave into the story, especially in profected months that amplify the house emphases. My own clearest example of this as a Scorpio asc night sect (Venus Mars Jupiter in 1H, Saturn opposing Venus from 7H) is getting married in a 12H profection year ruling 7H on the last day of the 7H profected month. The next 12H year also evoked themes from the 3 houses and had its most Venus-Saturn manifestation in the 1H profected month containing Venus.

Exactly. In hindsight, I think maybe I should have called them "participants" or even "starring cast members" as I think of different analogies. Perhaps I should have used a movie analogy -- like the cast on set in the profected house, with the LOY in the director's chair, and the other LOY-ruled houses being story arcs in the script, sometimes major sometimes minor, depending on various other factors, like your example of marrying AP with MP (pun intended)!

[@terra_affirma]

@@eclecticoccultista love the movie analogy! And it really works for those “full house” years in some charts bc it evokes the image of movies with a large ensemble cast (even when the star player is right there in the mix) and the wacky shenanigans that ensue, the snarky bff who likes to weigh in, the antagonist, etc., depending on their nature/dignity...versus years with more contained stories or a simpler “two pals on a road trip” narrative 😉

Thank you so much, this video was so well put together and informative! Do you have books you’d recommend to learn more about this?

[@eclecticoccultista]

Thanks so much for the comment! I mean, it may be a lot to dive right in and read original texts, but the introduction that Dr. Benjamin Dykes wrote to his translation of Abu Ma'shar's "On the Revolutions of the Year" is excellent. The source text is then a really nice place to start!
