All seven primary planets, including the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, are walled in by the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu. Because Rahu and Ketu are 180 degrees apart, all of the other seven planets have the potential to occupy the space between them. Kaal Sarp Yog refers to the placement of planets in a horoscope.
While analyzing the chart for Kaal Sarp Dosh, it is also vital to analyze the degrees of the planets.
If Mars and Rahu are both in the same sign and Mars has 10 degrees while Rahu has 10.5 degrees, the Kala Sarpa Dosha is present. If Mars is at 10.5 degrees and Rahu is at 10, it is not a Kaal Sarp Yog since Mars is not on the Rahu-Ketu axis. For its creation, the degrees of Rahu and Ketu must be greater than the degrees of the other seven planets in the same sign.
Because this yog is caused by the planets Rahu and Ketu, we must first learn about them, what they imply, and how they make alignments with other planets to produce effects based on planetary placements in the horoscope.

In astrology, what is the Sarpa Dosha?
Naga Dosha is a malefic yoga that is also known as Sarpa Dosha. Naga Dosha is produced in the horoscope when one of Rahu or Ketu is situated in the first house and the other in the seventh house, according to popular definition. Sarpa Dosha can cause issues with health, longevity, marriage, profession, overall well-being, personality, status, reputation, mental health, black magic, other-worldly creatures, evil spirits, and a variety of other issues for the native.
If Naga Dosha appears in a horoscope, it is thought that the native may have committed acts of violence against Sarpas (snakes) in a previous life. In a previous existence, he may have tormented Nagas, captured and used them for personal gain, or murdered Sarpas. Naga Dosha is said to form in his horoscope as a result of such karmas, and is usually seen as a curse of Nagas/Sarpas or serpent gods.
According to popular belief, Sarpa Dosha arises in every sixth horoscope. In a horoscope, there are 12 houses. As a result, Rahu has a 1 in 12 chance of being placed in the first house, and Ketu has a 1 in 12 chance of being placed in the first house. It signifies that there is a 1 in 6 chance of Rahu or Ketu being positioned in the first house. Hence According to popular belief, Naga Dosha manifests in every sixth horoscope. It’s worth noting that Rahu and Ketu are always separated by 180 degrees. It indicates that they are positioned in the seventh sign (house) with relation to one another. As a result, if one of them is born in the first house of a horoscope, the other will be born in the seventh house.
It seems improbable that every sixth native has had a run-in with Sarpas in the past. Apart from that, the malefic effects of Naga Dosha are not as common in practice as the definition claims. As a result, there must be another prerequisite in a horoscope for the formation of Sarpa Dosha in it.
When planets in navagraha are functionally malefic in horoscopes, almost all malefic yogas are produced. Malefic yogas are formed by malefic planets. As a result, in order for Naga Dosha to form in a horoscope, both Rahu and Ketu must be malefic. As a result, the amended definition of Naga Dosha is: Sarpa Dosha is formed in the horoscope when one of Rahu or Ketu is situated in the first house and the other in the seventh house, and both of them are malefic.
Depending on the native’s entire horoscope, Naga Dosha may cause problems with his health, lifespan, profession, marriage, addictions, vices, psychological problems, black magic, other-worldly beings, evil spirits, and a variety of other issues. Some of these natives may marry late or very late in their lives, while others may never marry at all. Other natives may experience major marital troubles, including one or two broken marriages.
Naga Dosha can cause a variety of health problems in those who are affected by it. Some of these residents may become drug addicts, while others may suffer from mental illnesses. Sarpa Dosha may have a negative impact on natives’ vocations when they are under its influence. As a result, such individuals may experience delays, setbacks, failures, financial losses, job loss, negative reputation, profession termination, and a variety of other issues relating to their occupations.
After confirming the presence of Naga Dosha in a horoscope, the next thing to look for is the severity of this flaw. Rahu and Ketu’s positions in various signs, nakshatras, and navamshas, as well as the impacts of other benefic and malefic planets on Rahu and Ketu, are used to assess the strength of Sarpa Dosha. The power of Naga Dosha is also influenced by the overall topic of the horoscope and the running times (Mahadashas).
When the malefic Rahu is in Taurus or Virgo and the malefic Ketu is in Scorpio or Pisces, the Sarpa Dosha can be very strong. Rahu is exalted in both Taurus and Virgo, and Ketu is exalted in both Scorpio and Pisces. As a result, Naga Dosha might cause major complications. When malefic Rahu is in Scorpio or Pisces and malefic Ketu is in Taurus or Virgo, however, the Sarpa Dosha may be weak. Rahu and Ketu are both debilitated in Scorpio and Pisces, while Rahu is also debilitated in Taurus and Virgo. As a result, such Naga Dosha may not cause major or even major issues. Similarly, the potency of Sarpa Dosha varies based on Rahu and Ketu’s positions in various signs, nakshatras, and navamshas.
Moving on to the following factor, the malefic effects of Naga Dosha may be reduced if Rahu and/or Ketu are influenced by benefic planets due to conjunction. Malefic effects of Naga Dosha may intensify if Rahu and/or Ketu are influenced by malefic planets due to conjunction.
Looking at the second factor, if the overall horoscope has a strong and benign Sarpa Dosha, it is unlikely that such a Dosha will cause major complications. Naga Dosha, on the other hand, may inflict more harm if the overall horoscope is weak and/or malefic.
When the Mahadashas (planetary periods) of benefic planets are in action, the troubles caused by Naga Dosha may be lessened. Mahadashas of malefic planets other than Rahu and Ketu, on the other hand, may exacerbate the condition. Sarpa Dosha can cause the most damage when the Mahadashas of Rahu and Ketu are active.
How do I find out what my Dosha kundali is?
You already know how to use our Manglik Dosha calculator to see if you have Mangal Dosha.
Let’s have a look at what’s causing it. The planet Mars produces Mangal Dosha in one’s birth chart if it is located in the 12th house, 1st house, 4th house, 7th house, or 8th house from the Lagna or Ascendant. According to South Indian Astrologers, the second house is also taken into account for Sevvai Dosham.
The Lagna Chart, Moon Sign Chart, and Venus Chart are all used to determine Mangal Dosha. If Mars is located above the houses in one’s natal chart, it is referred to as “High Manglik Dosha.” It will be deemed “Low Manglik Dosha” if it occupies these houses in either of these charts.
Manglik dosha is more significant at the time of marriage since it is an important criterion that must be carefully considered while matching horoscopes. Compatibility between two partners can be ensured in this manner, resulting in a happy married life. It is thought that if a person’s birth chart contains any form of ManglikDosha, he will experience dissatisfaction after marriage.
If planet Mars in your Kundali is aspected by benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus, the malefic effects of Mars will be nullified.
Is there a cure for Sarpa Dosha?
Experts advise solutions to minimize the malefic effects of Kaal Sarp Yoga based on Vedic Astrology. Chanting the Panchakshari Mantra, Om Namah Shivay, or completing the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra Jaap at least 108 times everyday is a good technique to get rid of this yog in your horoscope.
What is the impact of Naga Dosha?
The Naag dosha, also known as the Sarpa dosha, is a severe constraint in any chart or horoscope that causes numerous challenges. The Dosha is caused by the God of Serpent’s fury and intense anger. The Dosha is primarily brought on by past wrongdoings, or Nishidda Karma.
Rahu is the head of the Sarpa while Ketu is the tail. Rahu signifies Maya (Illusion). Rahu depicts his insatiable desire, hunger, and chaos, but Ketu represents moksha (freedom) and demonstrates how to overcome obstacles. When one exploits the environment or nature, Rahu becomes perturbed. Serpents are extremely strong beings who serve as protectors of the natural world.
Kala Sarpa Dosha and Sarpa Dosha:
The Naga Dosha is distinct from the Kalasarpa Dosha. This Sarpa Dosha continues to affect a person even after death. It may result in improper or non-cremation, accident death, murder, suicide, intoxication, shredding of the body by accidents/bombs, cremation without entire pieces (major parts not found), cremations by strangers very late but not by blood relatives, and other issues.
While Kalasarpa dosha is mostly inherited, and its effects are only seen during Vimsottari dasas of Rahu, Ketu, and other connected planets, Sarpa Dosha has no set time limit. The Kalasarpa Dosha has a simpler cure, but the Sarpa Dosha must be thoroughly checked and analyzed in the horoscope by a knowledgeable Vedic astrologer.
When someone died as a result of a car accident, a bomb blast or stampede, suicide, murder, or poisoning.
When people engage in cheating, stealing, destroying or injuring nature, and behaving badly toward their parents.
All of these effects can be deduced and interpreted from a Vedic horoscope or by Divine guidance through Prasna by a competent Guru based on the placement of malefics (Sun, Saturn, and Mars), nodes (Rahu and Kethu), and afflictions to benefics and beneficial houses in an individual’s Rasi and divisional charts. In a chart with insufficient benign influence, severe afflictions to Kendras and Trikonas (quadrants and trines) imply powerful Sarpa Doshas.
Female residents who were born under a strong Rahu influence have a great desire to keep their surroundings clean. They like lavishing on their high-class lifestyle and extravagance. They are always attracted to men, even after marriage, because to ailments. Male indigenous who have been infected are egotistical and sensual. They have the ability to flirt with any type of woman. They have a strong desire to travel.
Female locals of Ketu are self-sufficient, focused, and self-made. They lose their life partner at a young age, either through divorce or widowhood. Male locals are spiritual and devout. They are not faithful to their partners if they are afflicted. Divorcees and widows are attractive to them.
Children refuse to marry (or behave in an unconventional manner) or flee from their family.
A daughter marries the wrong person or elopes with a worthless person due to the powerful effect of Sarpa dosha.
Children become addicted to drugs and inebriated, leaving their parents to care for the elderly.

Sarpa worship metaphysics:
Adisesha (The one who stays as the remainder even after Pralaya, or the total annihilation of the universe) signifies Nature or Prakriti, on which Narayana, the manifest God, rests to sustain the universe. We are seeking forgiveness for all consciously and unwittingly committed sins and crimes against Mother Nature and all living beings by displaying regard and devotion to the Sarpa idol and pouring milk or other gifts as part of a ritual. This can also be interpreted as respect for the moola or primordial Sakthi or Adi Sakthi, which is a snake power inside the Self that manifests itself as incarnations through karmic cycles of birth and death.
On fasting days, avoid doing any remedial poojas. Ekadasi, shivaratri, ashtami, and so on.

Kaal Sarp Yog is entirely successful if all houses between Rahu and Ketu have planets.
