Which Method Should I Use for This Year? Profection, Solar Return, Lunar Return, and Given-Year
Separate yearly reading intent into annual focus, annual story, monthly triggers, and target-year review across Profection, Solar Return, Lunar Return, and Given-Year methods.
Start with Profection for annual focus
Profection quickly identifies the activated topic or house for the current age. It answers what matters most this year, but not the whole annual story.
Use Solar Return for the annual story
Solar Return describes the birthday-to-birthday theme, atmosphere, and life focus. It expands the profection focus into a full yearly narrative.
Use Lunar Return for monthly movement
Lunar Return is better for roughly one month of emotion, relationship rhythm, and short-cycle events. It acts as a monthly trigger layer, not the yearly base.
