Queen Elizabeth II's profection years: 96 years, counted one house at a time.
By Marie-Ange Le, mathematician and astrologer
She became heir at 10, Queen at 25, and reigned for 70 years. In 1992 she called her year an annus horribilis: in her chart it was a 7th house year, the house of marriages, the year her children's marriages fell apart. Here is her life read with a 2,000-year-old rule that needs only a rising sign and an age.

The 7th house is marriage and partners. Hers is Cancer, ruled by the Moon, and the Moon sits in her 8th house of crises.
In 1992 her daughter divorces, Charles and Diana separate, and Windsor Castle catches fire. In November she calls it her annus horribilis.

The 12th house is loss, isolation and what happens far from view. Hers is Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter.
On 31 August 1997 Diana dies in Paris. The Queen stays at Balmoral, far from London, until the country asks her to come back and speak. You don't need to believe anything. You only count.
