The sub-period of Rahu within the 7-year Ketu Mahadasha runs for 1 year 0.6 months. The results below are Sage Parashara's classical indications — how they manifest for you depends on the exact placement of Rahu and Ketu in your individual birth chart.
केतोरन्तर्गते राहौ स्वोच्चे मित्रस्वराशिगे । केन्द्रत्रिकोणे लाभे वा दुश्चिक्ये धनसंज्ञके ॥ ४५ ॥
तत्काले धनलाभ: स्यात्सञ्चारो भवति ध्रुवम् । म्लेच्छप्रभुवशात्सौख्यं धनधान्यफलादिकम् ॥ ४६ ॥
चतुष्पाज्जीवलाभः स्याद् ग्रामभूम्यादिलाभकृत् । भुक्त्यादौ क्लेशमाप्नोति मध्यान्ते सौख्यमाप्नुयात् ॥ ४७ ॥
रन्ध्रे वा व्ययगे राहौ पापसंदृष्टसंयुते । बहुमूत्रं कृशं देहं शीतज्वरविषाद्भयम् ॥ ४८ ॥
चातुर्थिकज्वरं चैव क्षुद्रोपद्रवपीडनम् । अकस्मात्कलहं चैव प्रमेहं शूलमादिशेत् ॥ ४९ ॥
द्वितीयसप्तमस्थे वा तदा क्लेशं महद्भयम् । तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं दुर्गादेवीजपं चरेत् ॥ ५० ॥

Condition: Rahu exalted, or in a friendly or own sign, in an Angle, Trine, 11th, 3rd or 2nd house.
Sage Parashara also describes specific configurations under which this period becomes testing — for health, relationships, wealth or work. Whether any of these apply to you depends entirely on where Rahu and Ketu sit in your individual chart. If this period is approaching or running for you, a personal reading examines these placements and, where needed, the classical remedies for them.
Sage Parashara prescribes specific remedies for this period — japa, charity and propitiation — selected according to the afflictions present in the individual chart. Because the remedy must match the affliction, the applicable remedies for your chart are shared in a personal consultation.
Phase-based timing: even under a favourable Rahu, the beginning of the sub-period brings conflicts, while the middle and end bring happiness.
