How to Check Kaal Sarp Yog?

Kaal Sarp Yog (or Kaal Sarp Dosh) is one of the most powerful astrological situations in Vedic astrology. It occurs when all the seven big planets—Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn—are placed between Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets. It is said to cause difficulties, financial loss, delay in marriage, job insecurity, and even mental tension in the native’s life.

But not all are Kaal Sarp Yog, and most people mix it up with other planetary combinations. Hence, it is important to know how to verify if you possess Kaal Sarp Yog in your horoscope. In this blog, we will walk you through step by step on how to determine it, what are its kinds, and how to verify.

What is Kaal Sarp Yog?

Kaal Sarp Yog is a planetary situation created as a result of the unfavorable placement of Rahu and Ketu. It is believed to be a symbol of past life karmic debts. “Kaal” means time, “Sarp” means serpent, and “Yog” means union. So, it is a situation of struggle-like nature where an individual feels trapped and locked in, similar to the hold of a serpent.

How to Check Kaal Sarp Yog in Your Horoscope?

Step 1: Realize the Position of Rahu and Ketu

• Kaal Sarp Yog is formed only when Rahu and Ketu are at opposite sides of the horoscope chart (180 degrees apart).
• They divide the chart into two halves.

Step 2: Observe the Position of All Other Planets

• Inspect whether all the seven major planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) lie inside the arc formed between Rahu and Ketu.
• If all the planets fall between Rahu and Ketu, then Kaal Sarp Yog is there.

Step 3: Look for Planet Beyond the Rahu-Ketu Axis

• If any one of the planets falls beyond the Rahu-Ketu axis, then it is not a complete Kaal Sarp Yog.
• But it can create a partial impact called Ardh Kaal Sarp Yog.

Step 4: See the Reckoning of the Planets

• If planets are going clockwise from Rahu to Ketu, it is a strong effect.
• If planets are going anti-clockwise, the impact can be different but still has effect.

Step 5: Determine the Type of Kaal Sarp Yog

There are 12 varieties of Kaal Sarp Yog, which depend on the position of Rahu and Ketu in various houses of the horoscope:

1. Anant Kaal Sarp Yog
2. Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog
3. Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog
4. Shankpal Kaal Sarp Yog
5. Padma Kaal Sarp Yog
6. Mahapadam Kaal Sarp Yog
7. Takshak Kaal Sarp Yog
8. Karkotak Kaal Sarp Yog
9. Shankachood Kaal Sarp Yog
10. Ghatak Kaal Sarp Yog
11. Vishdhar Kaal Sarp Yog
12. Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog

Every type impacts various areas of life like wealth, marriage, health, career, and relationships.

Step 6: Seek the Advice of a Professional Astrologer

Even if you identify this pattern in your horoscope, it is strongly advised to consult a professional astrologer to validate. This is because:

• Other planetary placements (such as Jupiter’s aspect) can dilute or nullify its impact.
• Strength of houses and dashas also become a deciding factor.

Effects of Kaal Sarp Yog

Individuals with Kaal Sarp Yog can face:

• Postponement of marriage or child birth.
• Financial fluctuations.
• No stability in the career.
• Mental tension, fearfulness, or insecurity.
• Difficulty in significant tasks.
• Turbulent relationships or domestic conflicts.

Yet, these effects differ based on the intensities of other planets and remedies performed.

Remedies for Kaal Sarp Yog

Though Kaal Sarp Yog is regarded as difficult, Vedic astrology offers various remedies to minimize its ill effect:

1. Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja at Trimbakeshwar, Ujjain, or Kashi.
2. Rahu-Ketu Shanti Puja to calm dark planets.
3. Regular recitation of Mahamrityunjaya Mantra.
4. Worshiping Lord Shiva and offering milk, water, and bilva leaves.
5. Wearing suitable gemstones only after consulting a learned astrologer.
6. Performing Rudrabhishek Puja for enhancing inner peace.

Conclusion

One of the most powerful planetary combinations in astrology is Kaal Sarp Yog, and its impact can differ from individual to individual. Depending upon the careful reading of Rahu, Ketu, and other planets’ positions in your horoscope, it can be ascertained if this yog exists.
