Ms Osamenor thank you very much for taking your time to explained about profection. I want to personally apologize to you about arguing your ascendant and it's lord because I should have learn more extensively before arguing to more experienced. I feel very fortunate to get free course from you.
No apology needed--just look at the chart first if you want to tell me what's in mine!
Could we use Profection without Solar Return [and in reverse]?
Solar return can certainly be used without profection. By modern astrologers, it usually is. Profection is a traditional astrology technique. That doesn't mean modern astrologers never use it, but if they do, they're borrowing it from traditional. Modern astrologers are much more likely to read solar return alone (though not without matching it with the original natal--how the solar return chart interacts with the natal is crucial to the interpretation), and perhaps somewhat differently from how traditional astrologers use the solar return chart.
Profection could be used without the solar return chart, just to determine which planets are activated by profection. To make that determination, you don't need the full solar return chart, you just need the original natal chart, and you need to know how old the native is. But once you've figured that out, profection is typically used along with the solar return chart. Together, they tell us a lot.
Excuse me, ms Osamenor. ASC is Lord of the Year, so this raise me a question, how to function the other measured point such as MC, DC, IC, and maybe part of fortune [If this necessary] in profection?
My knowledge of profections is pretty bare bones, so maybe someone who uses them more can flesh it out, but... my understanding is that when you profect the ascendant, everything else in the chart moves houses. For example, I'm in an eighth house profection year right now. My eighth sign is Leo. I have the sun in Leo, but nothing else (so my sun is very active right now, by profection, but nothing else is, because the sun doesn't rule any other signs). I have Mercury and Venus in Virgo, which is my ninth sign (although all quadrant systems put them in my eighth house). By profection, though, they're in my second house (profection works with whole sign houses, even if you're using a quadrant system for everything else). My Libra MC, meanwhile, is in my third profected house.
However, with ascendant profection, only the house the ascendant is profected to, and the house its ruler is in if different, and the other house ruled by the time lord (unless the time lord is the sun or the moon), are activated. Since I don't have Virgo or Libra activated by profection right now, that doesn't mean much, in my understanding.
It's also possible to do profections using any planet or point. You could, for instance, profect the MC to the next sign when you're 1 year old (or 13, or 25), and rotate it around the chart. Or the sun. Or the moon. Or anything else. But that's separate from profecting the ascendant, and provides different information.
