KAAL SARPA Dosha | Types, Effects, and Remedies Explained
What is KAAL SARPA Dosha?
KAAL SARPA YOGA is formed when all seven planets are positioned between Rahu and Ketu. It is crucial for individuals with this formation to seek remedies for KAAL SARPA YOGA to ensure that the favorable planets in their horoscope can provide positive results.
Types of KAAL SARPA YOGA
There are 12 types of KAAL SARPA YOGA based on Rahu's position in the 12 houses of the horoscope:
- Anant: Formed when Rahu is in the 1st house and Ketu is in the 7th house. This type suggests a life with long-term challenges and transformative experiences.

Types of KAAL SARPA YOGA: Ascending and Descending
KAAL SARPA YOGA can be categorized into two types:
- Ascending: Occurs when all seven planets are consumed by Rahu's mouth.
- Descending: Formed when all the planets are situated behind Rahu.
Partial KAAL SARPA YOGA
If all seven planets are between Rahu and Ketu but a few planets are partially outside the axis, then Partial KAAL SARPA YOGA is formed. Even if only one planet is outside the axis, Partial KAAL SARPA YOGA is still considered present.
KAAL SARPA Dosha: An Astonishing Truth
It's important to note that there is no proper definition or specific mention of KAAL SARPA Dosha in ancient astrological texts like BRIHAT PARASARA HORA SASTRA, SARAVALI, PRASHANA MARGA, DEVAKERALAM, PHALDEEPIKA, and JATAK PARIJATHA. This raises questions about why ancient sages did not write about it. Were they unaware of this YOGA, or was it not significant during their time?
To answer these questions, I conducted extensive research on charts affected by KAAL SARPA YOGA and personally met with individuals who had this YOGA in their charts. The results were surprising.
Qualities of Individuals with KAAL SARPA YOGA
After deep study and research, I found that individuals with this YOGA are often sharp-minded, intelligent, skilled in technical work, famous in medical fields (especially surgery), hardworking, masters in communication, knowledgeable in occult sciences, and capable of making unique and unparalleled plans. They may also have interests in the stock market or speculation and could gain fame through sports.
Why is KAAL SARPA YOGA Considered Malefic?
Despite these qualities, success and fame do not come easily to those born under this YOGA. They achieve success only after enduring significant distress and anguish. Misfortune seems to follow them, often placing them in adverse situations. Work conditions may be unfavorable, and losses in wealth through business and speculation are possible. Such individuals often experience bad dreams and face the danger of sudden death, with persistent fears and worries. They may not fully reap the rewards of their talents, and success in work is typically delayed. Sudden losses of money or prestige are common.
Ascendant-wise Effects of KAAL SARPA Dosha
Aries & Scorpio Ascendants
If Mars, Jupiter, and Moon are weak and KAAL SARPA YOGA is present, the individual may face various hindrances in career and business. Struggle will be a significant part of life, with nothing coming without tremendous hard work. Failure in efforts may lead to loss of patience, confidence, and depression.
Taurus & Libra Ascendants
If Venus, Mercury, and Saturn are afflicted by KAAL SARPA YOGA, the individual may feel insecure and dominated by hidden fears. They may not perform according to their potential, becoming inhibited, self-deluding, and moody. They might also tend towards hypochondria, be subject to criticism, and develop an inferiority complex. Sudden accidents and unfavorable events may disrupt their life.
Gemini & Virgo Ascendants
These individuals are likely to be highly ambitious, full of zeal, and capable of performing well in every sphere of life. However, they may not receive the right reward for their outstanding performance. They may be soft-spoken, distinguished in their actions, but prone to contracting diseases and troubling others.
Cancer Ascendant
If Moon and Jupiter are afflicted by KAAL SARPA YOGA, the individual may be garrulous, reprobate, poor, ill-tempered, and jealous. However, they may achieve success in business and could be renowned as a doctor, astrologer, or lawyer.
Leo Ascendant
With Sun, a natural enemy of Rahu and Ketu, as the lord of this ascendant, the individual may be a source of trouble to their mother but will be wealthy. They may face challenges from siblings and experience toil and hardships.
Sagittarius & Pisces Ascendants
Success may come through businesses related to women, such as fashion or cosmetics. These individuals might earn through export-import or other trades related to women's products. However, male natives may face deceit from women.
Capricorn & Aquarius Ascendants
If Saturn, Mercury, and Venus are afflicted, the individual may leave their birthplace and find success far from home. Spouse and children may create obstacles, and they may not benefit from parental property.
