Formation of Kala Sarpa Yoga in Chart:

This yoga is found in many horoscopes. The formation or configuration of this yoga is formed as per following conditions:

All the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) should be engulfed between Rahu and Ketu. That is no planet should be outside the Axis or Orbit of Rahu and Ketu.

If there is any planet with Rahu or Ketu (in the same house occupied by Rahu or Ketu) then it should be checked whether it is inside the orbit or degrees or outside the axis. It should be inside the orbit. Even if any of the planet is placed with Rahu & Ketu then too this yoga is formed and results will be seen on the basis of this formation.

It can also be understood in this way. If successively, five houses behind these Nodes- (Rahu and Ketu) are empty or are not occupied by any of the planet then Kala Sarpa yoga is formed.

Usually, it has been found that even in any birth chart there are one or more good yogas, even Raja Yoga, but Kala Sarpa yoga obstructs them and puts a veil over it.  With the formation of Kala Sarpa yoga, it is always found that moon will be weak due to several of the reason, some important planets may become combust. And beneficial planets aspects are not found on other planets.

Mahadasha and Antardasha of Rahu and Ketu along with particular angle formation during transits usually bring great ups and downs and changes in different spheres of life.

Few Examples of Kaal Sarpa Dosha Formation:

Kaal Sarpa Yoga Formation: From Ascendant or from Moon ?

In my view and experience, the formation and its effects for analysis and suitable remedies, the formation of this yoga should be studied from both- Ascendant as well as from Moon, then only proper personalised analysis can be arrived.

Kaal Sarpa Dosha: Reference in Classical Texts:

There is great disparity in the opinion and beliefs of many astrologers over this Dosha. Some say that there is no such dosha in astrology as this does not finds any reference in classical texts like Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra, Brihat Jatak, Saravali etc. Whereas, some say that this dosha does exist. On the other hand, some believe that this dosha is highly inauspicious whereas others say that it can be good also. Whereas, the great astrologer and researcher Dr. B. V. Raman has accepted the formation of this Dosha and given his views on it.

My Views:- Yes: Kaal Sarp Dosh Exists, but has been wrongly interpreted

Any science, like Astrology also is a continuous research oriented subject in all the continents, civilizations, time and all research, experiences and recordings should be given due recognitions and respect which keep growing the knowledge over different yugas.

Similarly, if effects related to configuration of Kaal Sarpa Dosha have been and are being experienced by many people and subsequently analyzed by dedicated astrologers, it should be given due importance and should be considered.

I myself have observed and analyzed many horoscopes having Kaal Sarpa Dosha and strongly put my point that this Kaal Sarpa –  Dosha as well as Kaal Sarpa Yoga does exist and also feel that further extensive research needs to be done on Yogas or Doshas formed by Rahu and Ketu Axis.

Kaal Sarpa Configuration: Can be a DOSHA  & Can be a YOGA – Both:

Secondly, there is misconception among many that Kaal Sarpa configuration is highly inauspicious, dangerous and gives lots of troubles in life and that life goes wasted and there is no result of efforts. The fact is that Kaal Sarpa  configuration can be a Dosha as well as a Yoga.

Following personalities & celebrities have Kaal Sarpa Configuration in their Horoscopes:

  • Dhiribhai Ambani
  • Sachin Tendulkar
  • Lata Mangeshkar
  • Pandit Jawahar lal Nehru
  • George Bush
  • Saddam Hussain
  • S. Radhakrihnan
  • Emperor Akbar
  • Ronald Reagan
  • Margaret Thatcher
  • Morari Bapu
  • Virginia Brooks
  • Benjamin Smith
  • Harshad Mehta
  • Donald Trump
  • Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

 

 

This yoga or dosha has power in itself to raise the person to great heights on both the sides of life. Like a great Swing- of Energy either up or down. It can be auspicious and inauspicious both.

Actually, the formation or configuration of Kaal Sarp in any horoscope gathers tremendous energy forming a vortex at a particular point of the chart instead of being scattered or uniform. This energy level and formation, if utilised and comprehended properly in conscious manner can help a person. But only few persons are able to realize this potential, while majority of the persons having this configuration fail to understand this energy, the points of vortex, sign and bhava involved within a particular axis, which ultimately creates a great disturbance between – Thoughts- Perceptions- Actions and Reactions leading a troubled life.

As a result, majority of the persons having Kaal Sarpa configuration in their charts face extreme difficulties, obstacles and problems in their lives related to mental, physical, occupation, profession, relationships, health, finance, progeny, marriage and more.

Secondly, Astrologer should never give any prediction only on seeing Kaal Sarpa Dosha in any person’s horoscope. Entire horoscope needs to be analysed to see whether it has potential of Kaal Sarpa Dosha or Kaal Sarpa Yoga, Signs where Rahu and Ketu are placed, exaltation and strengths of other planets and whether Rahu takes the lead or Ketu takes the lead. Also, particular study of Sun, Moon & Saturn needs to be done in such charts.

Because, it is also an observed fact that persons having Kaal Sarp configuration in their horoscopes either lead a miserable and life full of obstacles, problems and troubles in their first phase till middle age and then suddenly gain results, money and fame in their lives and profession and on the other hand some may gain in their first half till middle age and have sudden downfall in their health, finances, relationships, profession in the later half of their lives.

Also, it is seen that when Ketu takes the lead and under certain placements, some persons gain significantly in philosophical and spiritual areas of life with developed meditation or yoga, whereas some when Rahu takes the lead may become become big politicians, businessmen, sophisticated and big criminals. Whereas, some of them may develop chronic disease and some may ruin their relationships.  

I would like to mention that persons having Kaal Sarpa Yoga or Dosha in their charts are in a developed phase of evolution requiring self analysis and discovery along with cleaning of their karmas with rightful approach in thoughts and perceptions in a conscious manner will help and just the opposite if not done consciously.

This Yoga also makes a person a hard worker, dedicated, honest and brave.

Sometimes, this Kaal Sarpa Configuration has also been found to effect generation after generation in a particular family, which needs further deep study and analysis by an Astrologer.

Transformation of Perception & Change of Meaning:

This configuration requires change in its perception because it can be a Dosha as well as it can be a Yoga. Conscious awareness of the energies of Rahu & Ketu their working and transformation is the way.

Kaal means Time. Kaal also means Death. Sarpa means Serpent or Snake. So Kaal Sarpa means – Time in the hands or mouth of Snake Or Death.

Kaal also represents MahaKaal or Lord Shiva – Beyond Time. And Sarpa also means – Kundalini Energy in the form of Serpent Energy.

How you look at it?  

This is the great dance of- Thoughts- Images- Perceptions, stored Karmas and the Energy.


Causes of Kaal Sarpa Dosha: 

There can be many reasons for Kaal Sarpa Dosha or Yoga formation in any person’s chart. Some reasons are given below:

 

  1. It can result from wrath or curse of animals particularly snakes due to harming, killing and destroying their abodes, hills, trees, killing innocent animals and destroying their eggs in past lives. Sometimes it has also been observed that such sins committed by father or forefathers have their effect on coming generations.
  2. Due to lots of sins done in past lives depriving people of their freedom, rights.
  3. Leaving the righteous path & practices of ancestors.

  8. Formation of this yoga can also be an important task to be carried out by the person as per kartavya or dharma allotment by divine force.
  9. This dosha can also result due to energy concentration of past life evil or good deeds in a particular axis or points in the chart creating a huge swing up or down which has to be worked out in the current life.
  10. Kaal Sarpa Dosha is also sometimes found to be genetic in nature.
