The ruling planet of the sign of a person's 1st house will be the time lord for that person during their first year of life (age 0 to 1). In the second year of a person's life (age 1 to 2), the ruling planet of the sign of their 2nd house will be the time lord, and so on.
In annual profections, the time lord is the traditional ruling planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) and not the modern ruling planet (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) of each sign.
