The term Kaal Sarpa is known to most people who are even remotely related to Astrology. It is one of those terms which aren’t known for positive reasons. To be precise, people generally fear it.
But is it really terrible like we believe it to be and if yes, how much – we shall discuss as we go further.
How is Kaal Sarpa formed
The main planets responsible for it are Rahu and Ketu. (They are are always 180 degrees apart). When all the other 7 planets come between these two, it forms this dosha.
Is Kaal Sarpa always problematic
On a broad basis, there are two types of Kaal Sarpa – dosha and yoga. The difference lies in whether the planets are in Rahu’s path or in Ketu’s.
Dosha (Rahu’s path) – If we start from Rahu and go till Ketu in clockwise direction.
Yoga (Ketu’s path) – If we start from Ketu and go till Rahu in clockwise direction.
Of the two, dosha is the one which usually causes troubles. Yoga, on the other hand, is a beautiful and positive planetary alignment.
Both are Kaal Sarpa but one is dosha and while the other one, yoga. Also, even Kaal Sarpa dosha isn’t troublesome for everyone. Sachin Tendulkar, Lata Mangeshkar, Dhirubhai Ambani, Karl Marx are some of the legends who had Kaal Sarpa dosha or yoga in their charts.
Additionally, please note that even if one planet is outisde of the Rahu-Ketu axis, Kaal Sarpa gets cancelled. If anyone suggests any ritual in the name of Anshik (partial) Kaal Sarpa, do not fall for it. There is nothing called Anshik kaal sarpa. It is a term coined to cheat gullible clients by instilling unnecessary fear in their mind.
So, if you believe or are told that you have Kaal Sarpa, first confirm whether it is dosha or yoga. In case it is dosha, don’t get disheartened or scared. If there’s a problem, there’s a solution. The important thing is to do the right remedies. As soon as you have done the remedies as per your horoscope, a lot of hidden strengths of your chart will begin to surface. And you should get ready to receive all the goodies your chart has in store for you.
