What is Kaal Sarp Dosha?

Kaal Sarp Dosha occurs when all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes). There are 12 types based on Rahu's house position. While considered challenging, it can also bring transformation and spiritual growth.

Understanding Kaal Sarp Dosha

Kaal Sarp Dosha is a significant astrological combination that occurs when all seven major planets are positioned between Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) in a birth chart. The term "Kaal" means time/death and "Sarp" means serpent, symbolizing the karmic nature of this yoga.

1. Anant Kaal Sarp - Rahu in 1st
2. Kulik Kaal Sarp - Rahu in 2nd
3. Vasuki Kaal Sarp - Rahu in 3rd

Effects of Kaal Sarp Dosha

  • Delays and obstacles in various life areas
  • Mental anxiety and disturbed sleep (snake-related dreams)
  • Sudden ups and downs in career and relationships
  • Feeling of being stuck despite hard work
  • Health issues that are difficult to diagnose

Positive Aspects

Not all is negative! Kaal Sarp Dosha can also bring intense spiritual growth, psychic abilities, and success in occult sciences. Many successful people have this yoga. It pushes you toward your life purpose and helps burn karmic debts. With proper remedies and awareness, this dosha can be transformed into a powerful yoga for spiritual evolution.

Note: The severity of Kaal Sarp Dosha depends on the overall strength of the chart, planetary periods (dashas), and whether planets are outside the Rahu-Ketu axis by even a small degree (partial dosha is less severe).
