Kaal Sarp Dosha (also called Kaal Sarp Yoga) is a configuration in Vedic astrology that forms when all seven planets — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn — are positioned on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis. Because the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu are always exactly opposite each other, they split the zodiac into two halves; when every planet is "swallowed" within one half, the chart is said to carry this dosha.

If even one planet sits on the other side of the axis, the dosha is considered partial (Anshik); if planets fall on both sides more evenly, there is no Kaal Sarp Dosha. The specific type — one of twelve named serpents from Anant to Sheshnag — is decided by the house occupied by Rahu.

• Whether a full, partial, or no Kaal Sarp Dosha is formed
• The Kaal Sarp type (Anant, Kulik, Vasuki … Sheshnag) and its focus
• The houses of Rahu and Ketu
• Each planet's sign and house, and whether it is hemmed between the nodes

Should you worry about it?

Kaal Sarp Dosha is one of the most debated topics in astrology. Many highly successful people have it, and a strong, well-placed chart can blunt its effects almost entirely. It should never be read in isolation or used as a cause for fear. For a balanced reading and any remedies, consult a qualified astrologer.
