In shortFrom January 29, 2026 to January 29, 2027 you are in a 1st-house year: the threshold where you meet the world. Jupiter rules it, and in your birth chart Jupiter sits in Gemini in the 6th house. This month the focus narrows to the 9th house.
This year occupies the threshold where you meet the world. Jupiter is the teacher assigned to it. The curriculum is a self you start from on purpose: the body, the look, the direction. What the year takes is the performance of a self that only holds while someone is watching. What remains is a stance you can repeat on an ordinary day.

- A new look, a new routine, or a decision about direction.

Asteria · the year-lordJupiter in Gemini6th house in your birth chart; now in Leo
Where the teacher sits in your birth chart, and where it is walking now.
The teacher moves by naming. The curriculum costs more when the explanation replaces the decision.
Asteria · inside the yearThis month9th house, carried by Mercury, until October 29, 2026
From September 29, 2026 → October 29, 2026.
This month opens the long road of meaning. Mercury carries the month inside the year. The year's room stays the threshold where you meet the world. 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.
