The major period is ruled by Ketu (20-04-2024 to 20-04-2031). Within it, the Moon sub-period adds a more immediate emphasis. The current finer period is governed by Jupiter. Dasha results are interpreted together with natal house ownership, placement and strength; the period name alone is not a prediction.
