Kaal Sarp Dosh (or Yog) forms when all seven planets are hemmed on one side of the Rahu–Ketu (lunar node) axis in the birth chart, concentrating life-energy along a single line.
Generate your free kundli below and read the Rahu–Ketu positions — if every planet falls between them, a kaal sarp yog is indicated. A partial or 'reverse' formation is read differently.
Classically it signals intensity and delay rather than doom — many highly successful people carry it. The reading is about timing and effort, not a verdict on your life.
The 12 named types (Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar, Sheshnag) depend on which houses Rahu and Ketu occupy.
Comparison table
| Type | Rahu house | Classical theme |
|---|---|---|
| Anant | 1st | Self & early struggles that build resilience |
| Takshak | 7th | Partnership timing and patience |
| Vishdhar | 11th | Gains arrive later but steadily |
| Sheshnag | 12th | Inner growth, travel, letting go |

FAQ
How do I check kaal sarp dosh from date of birth?
Generate your kundli and see the Rahu and Ketu houses. If all other planets lie between them along one arc, a kaal sarp yog is present. Birth time accuracy matters most.
Is kaal sarp dosh really bad?
No — classical texts describe intensity and delayed results, not misfortune. Many accomplished people have it. Treat it as a timing pattern, not a life sentence.
What are the remedies for kaal sarp dosh?
Common practices include Rahu–Ketu shanti puja (often at Trimbakeshwar), Maha Mrityunjaya chanting and disciplined Monday/Nag Panchami observances. A full chart tells you which apply.
