Typically, astrologers look to annual profections to identify which of the houses is activated to find out which area of life the focus will be on during that year, but this type of technique can also be used on a daily, monthly or even hourly level.
How to use profection months in astrology
According to astrologer Ellie Remotigue, profection months "can show the activated planet of the month, the energy of the month and what is going on...".
Although these monthly profections do not harbor the same intensity as annual profections, there are still some relevant components that can help us see what we can expect each month through this technique.
To easily find out which profection month you're in, you can use an annual profection calculator that breaks down each month based on your natal chart.
