Annual house cycle (vernal-anchored profections)
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
A reframed version of the traditional Profection technique. Instead of advancing one house per birthday, the cycle advances one house per vernal equinox. The native's first vernal-equinox-after-birth begins the 1st-house phase. Each cycle is twelve years long; subsequent cycles add an overlay tone of the next sign in zodiacal order.
