The first subdivision of a planetary firdaria major is allotted to its own lord. This self-partnership marks the opening part of the major period before the other planetary partners take their turns.
Firdaria divides life into a sequence of planetary periods. The major lord governs the broad period, while its natal condition provides context; identifying a time lord alone does not establish particular events.
In the selected firdaria sequence, the Head of the Dragon receives three years and the Tail two. These nodal majors have no planetary partners or subperiods, so their meaning is the distinct nodal time allocation rather than an ordinary planetary subdivision.
A planetary firdaria major period is divided into seven equal subperiods. The sub-lord acts as a partner within the major lord's period, giving a more specific temporal emphasis; nodal majors have no such partners.
