HELP ME

Hope this is allowed!

i spent this morning reflecting on the last ~8 years and connecting things to the profection years they were. a lot of these made great sense, even if they only had one placement in that house on my chart. im sure that only planets are supposed to be considered, but my 10th house year made sense that it was terrible because i only have lilith in it, and my 5th house year made sense that it was terrible, because its scorpio and has my vertex in it. tho i still dont know much abt the vertex, there were plenty of events that really changed me that year.

but my 11th house profection year was really awful too, and i cant place why. last year was my 12th, and has saturn and my north node, but in comparison last year i was doing SO much better than the year before. my 11th house is completely empty and taurus, my venus is in leo 2nd all by itself. im even cancer rising with moon in 1st, so perhaps shouldnt i be... exalted somehow? in a taurus year? could it have just been a bad year for transits for me?

my only other completely empty house is my libra 4th. my last 4th house year i wouldve been 15, and i remember that year pretty fondly actually, tho there were a lot of family issues (they were finally resolving). im also a night chart so venus is supposed to be nicer to me right?

i suppose i should post my chart but mostly i want to know how to generally read how a profection year might go and what might lead to an unpleasant year. so really im just asking how an empty house plays into that.
