The natural period days are made exact the same way. In the month, make the passed and coming parts of the first period as stated.

गतैष्यदिनविश्लेषनाडिकाद्यनुसारतः ॥
Periods in the day: use the gap between two day entries to find each period in ghatikas.

Natural periods for one day: start with the lord of the hadda where the day-entry lagna falls. The other planets follow in order.
अथ दशाफलविचारस्तत्र दशाफलविचारे विशेषफलमाह तेजास्सिंहः ॥
Period results: first judge the year lord and the period lord, then the birth chart. Weigh strength at birth, in the year and in the period.
