In your first year of birth, you are in your first house profection year, and on your first birthday, you enter your second profection year and so on, following the houses until you return every 12 years back to your first house where the cycle repeats.

Your age reveals the most significant theme of your year in 2025:

If you're 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72, you're in a first house profection year during which you're focused on "personal reinvention and self-identity," astrologer Celine Diong explained in a TikTok video. At these ages, personal goals, your identity, and personal development take center stage in your life.
"This year it's really a time for self-reflection and reinvention," Diong said, suggesting journaling your thoughts daily to help you self-reflect on your emotions.
As part of this process, you might feel tempted to change your appearance to reflect the new you.
"Many people during their first house profection years experience life-altering events or catalysts of sorts that lead to major life-altering events," Diong explained, so take it easy and have patience with yourself.

If you're 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, or 73, you're in a second house profection year, with themes of money, self-worth, and material stability commanding most of your attention in 2025. According to Diong, "This year, many people experience a serious income shift" as you rethink your relationship with money.
For a few lucky individuals, there might be a raise or promotion on the horizon.
"Beyond money, though, the second house is also all about self-worth," said Diong. As a result, expect to confront what you value and why these values are important to you in the first place.

If you're age 14, 26, 28, 50, 62, or 74, you're in a third house profection year, which is heavily focused on short-distance travel, communication, and education.
"Everything is gonna feel like it's in the fast lane for you," Diong said.
Your schedule may feel increasingly chaotic as you have more and more activities on your plate. But regardless, whatever you decide to do will open doors for your future as you meet like-minded individuals.
"The third house is also about short trips, siblings, neighbors, people in your general vicinity," so while you may travel more, you're also learning how to communicate better, which improves your relationships with others in the long run.

People aged 15, 27, 39, 51, 63, or 75 are in a fourth house profection year that suggests 2025 will be an emotionally intense year as your roots and family take center stage, Diong explained.
At these ages, it's common to experience changes in your home life as you either reconnect with or completely move away from family.
Whether you're moving away or establishing independence, one thing is certain: emotional healing is bound to happen in 2025. This means that any childhood healing that you've neglected lately will likely come to resurface, forcing you to address your trauma once and for all.

2025 is a year of main character energy for those aged 16, 28, 40, 52, 64, or 76. This is a fifth house profection year during which “Everything is about self-discovery and personal growth," Diong explained. "Kind of redefining who you are in a sense."
Luckily for you, according to Diong, this year is going to feel a lot more fun than your experience in 2024 as your creativity reaches new heights and you focus more on pleasure.
"This is kind of like your Hallmark movie era," Diong said.
Ages 17, 29, 41, 53, 65, and 77

For those aged 17, 29, 41, 53, 65, or 77, the theme of 2025 is your daily routines and how they can be improved to better your life. In a sixth house profection year, "the universe is about to force structure and discipline into your life," Diong said.
In 2025, you will be more focused on your daily habits and how they may be affecting your physical and mental health, for better or worse. As Diong said, this may be the year you decide to attend therapy or finally get around to making an appointment with a primary care physician.
While life may feel a bit competitive this year, Diong said there's a lesson to be learned from it: "you need consistency to level up."
Ages 18, 30, 42, 54, 66, and 78

If you're 18, 30, 42, 54, 66, or 78, 2025 is a seventh house profection year for you that's focused on love and relationships.
"it's gonna be the year when you find it very hard to balance your relationship life and your social life," Diong warned, as you're learning to really narrow down want you want from the important relationships in your life, whether that's a romantic relationship or business partnership.
And for those that are single, 2025 may just be the year you meet your soulmate, Diong said.
Ages 19, 31, 43, 55, 67, and 79

Those aged 19, 31, 43, 55, 67, or 79 in 2025 are in an eighth house profection year. The theme of your year is all about shedding the old parts of yourself so you can become the best version of yourself.
"This is your phoenix year," Diong said.
The astrologer warned that 2025 may get really deep and sometimes messy. However, "if you really embrace the change this year, you're gonna come out more powerful than ever," she explained.

Anyone aged 20, 32, 44, 56, 68, or 80 in 2025 is focused on expansion through higher learning and travel opportunities. This is your ninth house profection year that aims to expand your mind and give you a new perspective on life.
"This can also mean spiritual breakthrough," Diong explained, so if there's any year to go through a spiritual awakening, it's this one!
"The universe is really going to push you out of your comfort zone," the astrologer warned, but by the time the year ends, you'll feel like you have a new lease on life.

If you’re in this age group, then you’re currently going through your tenth house profection year. During 2025, expect your career and reputation to take front and center as all eyes are on you.
You may get a promotion or start your own business this year, Diong said, but the astrologer also advised proceeding with caution.
"With big moves come big responsibilities and a lot of evil eye,” she explained.
As a result, 2025 demands your entire focus as not caring about what others think will be the best way to push this age group forward.

Next, this age group is entering their 11th house profection year, with the theme of your year focused on expanding your social circle and manifesting your dream life.
According to Diong, “community is gonna be key for you this year.”
That said, the biggest challenge for this age group is putting yourself out there. And though stepping out of your comfort zone won’t be easy, those who actively decide to do it will slowly begin to see their life change for the better.

Finally, for those in this age group, you’re entering your 12th house profection year.
“This is kind of like your villain origin story era as you immerse yourself in deep solitude and deeper awakenings,” said Diong. Blink-182 said 'nobody likes you when you're 23' for a reason!
Through this reflection, you’ll slowly begin to heal and develop as a person. That said, this won’t be easy. Those in this age group will likely feel withdrawn and detached.
“You may crave alone time or kind of experience a spiritual awakening,” Diong said, but through this hermit era, you will clear out any negative energy and you actively prepare to begin the cycle all over again.
