The major period is ruled by Rahu (29-11-2023 to 28-11-2041). Within it, the Rahu sub-period adds a more immediate emphasis. The current finer period is governed by Moon. Dasha results are interpreted together with natal house ownership, placement and strength; the period name alone is not a prediction.
