Kaal Sarp Dosh

In astrology, Kaal Sarp Dosh is known to be very dangerous. It concerns past life karmas that affect your present life. Now, the question arises: What is Kaal Sarp Dosh? It is a dosha present in your kundali, which can create problems in various areas of life, including career, love, marriage, and many more.

Talking about its formation, when Rahu and Ketu are present on one side of the horoscope, and other planets are in the middle. As per astrology, there are seven main planets, with Rahu and Ketu excluded. Each ruling planet governs aspects like Lagna, wealth, happiness, children, disease, household, age, fortune, karma, profit, love, expenditure, and many others.

So, when Kaal Sarp Dosh covers those planets, the aspects of the ruling planets get destroyed, and you can be affected. As per astrology, 12 Kaal Sarp Doshas are formed based on the placement of Rahu and Ketu in your chart. In this section, you will learn about Kaal Sarp Doshas and their types.
