To commemorate the start of the 2025 Astrological New Year, I'm proud to announce a brand-new digital product in the Read by Renee Shop: The Profection Year Guidebook. Listeners of Synergy to Synastry heard me mention this Hellenistic Astrology tool back in January's 2025 Energetic Forecasts & Psychic Readings podcast episode. It's a technique I learned about early on in my astrological studies and have enjoyed so much for both reflecting and planning purposes. I personally haven't encountered a comprehensive guide on Profection Years, so I decided to create my own! In this post I'll outline exactly what's included in this guidebook and how to use it in every chapter of life.
