In shortFrom March 14, 2026 to March 14, 2027 you are in a 4th-house year: the private root. Mercury rules it, and in your birth chart Mercury sits in Aries in the 10th house. This month the focus narrows to the 11th house.
This year occupies the private root. Mercury is the teacher assigned to it. The curriculum is the foundation that actually holds. What the year takes is the version of home that was inherited and never inspected. What remains is the base you can stand on when the rest of the chart is loud.

Asteria · the year-lordMercury in Aries10th house in your birth chart; now in Scorpio
Where the teacher sits in your birth chart, and where it is walking now.
The teacher moves by starting. The curriculum costs more when the start never becomes a week of staying.
Asteria · inside the yearThis month11th house, carried by Mars, until November 14, 2026
From October 14, 2026 → November 14, 2026.
This month opens the room of allies and the long future. Mars carries the month inside the year. The year's room stays the private root. The month is a smaller assignment, not a new life.
Asteria · monthly profectionThe 12 monthly shifts inside the yearOne step a month, starting on your birthday
Inside the profection year the active house also rotates one step every month, starting on your birthday. The monthly lord is the planet ruling each month's house cusp: a smaller secondary thread alongside the year lord.
