Kaal Sarp Dosha

What is Kaal Sarp Dosha?

As the snake coils around its prey and strangulates it, Rahu, like the serpent head of the dragon, and Ketu, the dragon's serpent tail, form a Kaal Sarp Dosha in a Kundli. When seven planets come between Rahu and Ketu, it leads to Kaal Sarp Dosha in a horoscope. Once this dosha is formed, it constricts all the planets—whether good or bad—that come between them. The impact of this dosha is so powerful that it nullifies all the natural significations of these planets. It affects the significations of all the houses where it is placed.

Kaal Sarp Dosha is primarily caused and attributed to the snake. This dosha occurs repeatedly and can suppress the positive results of other aspects in the horoscope. Depending on the position and placement of Rahu and Ketu in a natal chart, there can be twelve types of Kaal Sarp Dosha.

Another important aspect is that whatever miseries this dosha brings, they will appear repeatedly.

To understand the exact impact of Kaal Sarp Dosha on a person, the exact positioning of the shadow planets Ketu and Rahu in the horoscope must be analyzed. To explain this further: If Rahu is in the first house and Ketu in the seventh house, the person may face obstructions related to self and wealth accumulation. If this combination occurs in the second house, the person may face issues with family relations and other aspects of life related to the second house. Similarly, one must observe this combination across all twelve houses.
