The major period is ruled by Rahu (08-02-2016 to 07-02-2034). Within it, the Mercury sub-period adds a more immediate emphasis. The current finer period is governed by Saturn. Dasha results are interpreted together with natal house ownership, placement and strength; the period name alone is not a prediction.
