What is Kaal Sarp Dosh?
Kaal Sarp Dosh forms when all seven other grahas (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) sit within one semicircle bounded by Rahu and Ketu, meaning no planet falls outside the Rahu-Ketu axis.
Twelve variants are traditionally named based on which house Rahu occupies (Ananta, Kulika, Vasuki, and so on), each with its own classical description.
Kaal Sarp Dosh is not automatically good or bad on its own. What it means depends on Rahu/Ketu's own placement, the strength of the other planets, and the rest of the chart. This calculator only checks whether the geometric condition (all planets within one semicircle) is met, not a prediction.
FAQ
Questions about Kaal Sarp Dosh
How does Kaal Sarp Dosh form? +
When all seven other grahas, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, fall on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis (within one semicircle), Kaal Sarp Dosh is considered present. If even one planet falls outside that axis, the dosh does not form.
Is Kaal Sarp Dosh always bad? +
No. Classical texts describe the effect as depending on Rahu/Ketu's own placement, strength and the rest of the chart, not uniform for everyone. This calculator exists to check the geometric condition, not to alarm.
How many types of Kaal Sarp Dosh are there? +
Twelve variants are traditionally named, based on which house Rahu occupies (Ananta, Kulika, Vasuki, Shankhapala, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshaka, Karkotaka, Shankhachuda, Ghatak, Vishadhara and Sheshanaga). This calculator checks presence; the specific variant can be read separately from the chart.
