Ever look back on a year of your life and realize it had a very specific theme? A year centered on relationships. Or work and health. Or deep inner change.

That is not random. It is timing.

In this episode of As Above, So Within: Conversations Under the Stars, we explore one of astrology’s most powerful and clarifying timing techniques: Annual Profections.

This traditional method reveals the main area of life activated each year. Instead of feeling like life is chaotic or unpredictable, profections show us that every year has a focus, a classroom, and a purpose.

We move through all 12 houses as lived experiences, not just keywords, helping you recognize your own storylines through themes like identity, relationships, work, healing, joy, closure, and growth.

This episode is beginner friendly and deeply validating. You do not need to know every detail of your chart. Just listen for what resonates.

Because when you understand the storyline of your year, the question shifts from
“What’s wrong with me?”
to
“What is this year teaching me?”

🌙 Perfect for anyone wanting clarity, timing insight, and a deeper sense of trust in their personal journey under the stars.

In this episode, we explore what a Saturn Return actually is, when it happens, and why it often coincides with major life shifts and moments of reckoning. We reframe Saturn’s “heaviness” as the weight of incarnation itself, looking at Saturn as the force that brings spirit into form and makes wisdom lived rather than imagined. We discuss Saturn Returns as ancient rites of passage—moving through the archetypal phases of Maiden, Mother, Crone, and Elder—and expand the conversation to include Saturn’s ongoing checkpoints throughout life, including the opening square, opposition, and closing square, which act as moments of alignment review with our soul’s agreement. We also explore natal Saturn as a karmic contract, briefly touching on Saturn through each of the twelve zodiac signs, and close the episode by sharing our own personal Saturn Return stories—how Saturn reshaped our lives, clarified our priorities, and ultimately gave us something enduring on the other side.
