Overview

28 mod 12 = 4, so the 5th house is activated for that profection year. This is the worked result for Annual Profections; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Declare whole-sign versus house variant, age-at-birthday convention, starting house, ruler scheme, and activation period; then identify the lord of the year.

Definition and exact scope

Annual profection advances the natal Ascendant or house focus by one sign per year in a repeating twelve-year cycle.

Calculation or decision rule

Declare whole-sign versus house variant, age-at-birthday convention, starting house, ruler scheme, and activation period; then identify the lord of the year. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.

Worked case and illustrative near miss

age 28 at the birthday; age 0 assigned to 1st house; whole-sign annual sequence. 28 mod 12 = 4, so the 5th house is activated for that profection year.

Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Assigning the 4th house by forgetting that the age-zero year starts with the 1st.

School, model, and context variants

A profected house or lord is a traditional time-lord assignment, not proof that a named event will happen during that year.
