Kaal Sarp Yog (also called Kaal Sarp Dosh) is a powerful astrological condition formed in a Kundli (birth chart) when all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) are positioned between Rahu and Ketu. This creates an imbalance of energies, symbolizing karmic debts from past lives and ancestral influences.
Kalsarp Yoga—According to Vedic astrology, there are many auspicious and inauspicious yogas and doshas in our horoscope, which can be known only by the yoga of planets. Here we talk about Kalsarp Yoga, how this yoga is formed in our horoscope, and what its results are. Vedic astrologer Maharishi Parasharji and our revered Guruji Shri K.N. Rauji have not discussed this Kalsarp, nor has it been mentioned anywhere in the old scriptures. But our great experience believes in it, due to which a person often gets scared on hearing the name of Kalsarp, but it is not a big incident because this yoga is formed in the horoscope of 70 percent of the people. Today’s astrologers tell about this yoga and also scare people a lot because, according to this, due to this dosha, the native has to struggle a lot in his life, and failures, diseases, and stress increase in the life of the native.
The presiding deity of Rahu is Kaal, and the presiding deity of Ketu is a snake. If all the planets are on one side between these two, then Kaal Sarp Yoga is formed. Rahu-Ketu are always retrograde, and Sun-Moon move forward. When all the planets come between Rahu and Ketu, i.e., on one side, then this yoga is formed. It is said that all the planets become ineffective by coming in the lap of Rahu and Ketu, due to which all the work gets obstructed, and there are hindrances, delays in marriage, failure in jobs, and problems related to money. Rahu is called the mouth of the snake, and Ketu is called the tail of the snake. If all the planets come from the mouth to the tail, then due to the poison of the snake in the planets, the results become ineffective, and there is only struggle in all the work. The native gets the results of all the work late, due to which his companions and people of the same age move ahead, and such people are left behind, due to which such people keep blaming their fate.
According to Vedic astrology, there are twelve types of Kalsarp Yoga, due to which the native suffers more in the condition of Rahu-Ketu. Due to this yoga, the native also makes extraordinary progress suddenly. Examples of which are Sachin Tendulkar and Jawahar Lal because they have this yoga in their horoscope. This yoga also causes downfall, due to which the native does not get success with time, and his companions move ahead of him, and he himself reaches less heights in comparison to their progress.
Let us talk about the names of this Kalsarp Yoga and how it gives results to the native.
