The Kaal Sarp dosh is divided into two parts: the first is Kaal Sarp Yoga, and the second is Ardh Chandra Yoga. Generally, Kaal Sarp Yoga poses obstacles and can be painful and harmful to a person’s progress. However, the Ardha Chandra (half moon) Yoga, which is another form of Kaal Sarp Yoga, bestows happiness, prosperity, elevation in status, joy, and various other benefits.
What is Kaal Sarp Dosha? According to astrology, when all planets come between Rahu and Ketu in a person’s birth chart, it forms the Kaal Sarp Dosha. In reality, Rahu and Ketu are not physical planets but shadow planets. We know that the Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. Rahu and Ketu are located in opposite directions at the intersection points of the Earth’s orbit. These points of intersection (shadows) are termed Rahu and Ketu.
Since the impact of this solar system event affects human life, it is considered in astrological calculations alongside other planets in the birth chart.
Consequences of Kaal Sarp Dosha It is believed that an individual with Kaal Sarp Dosha in their birth chart encounters difficulties in every aspect of life. Such individuals face obstacles in every endeavor. Mental stress, unknown fears, and confusion arise. There could be setbacks in jobs, career, and business.
Signs of Kaal Sarp Dosha Identifying Kaal Sarp Dosha in a person’s birth chart is relatively easy. With this dosha, a person faces obstacles in education, job-related issues despite hard work, and even failure in business. Additionally, such individuals tend to engage in the wrong company.
Constant negative thoughts, feeling unsuccessful, contemplating suicide, disputes in married life, tension, and difficulties in childbirth, hindrance in love relationships are some signs of Kaal Sarp Dosha.
Positive Effects of Kaal Sarp Dosha While Kaal Sarp Dosha usually bestows adverse effects, in some cases, it also provides favorable results. Astrology considers Rahu and Ketu as mystical planets. Rahu and Ketu are considered factors for sudden events in life.
Therefore, they also bring favorable outcomes. When Kaal Sarp Dosha occurs, individuals become hardworking. Such individuals do not lose courage and continuously strive for success. Many famous and influential personalities in politics like Jawaharlal Nehru, Abraham Lincoln, Margaret Thatcher, Sardar Patel, Morarji Desai, and in various fields like Sachin Tendulkar, Amrita Pritam, Madhubala, Rekha, Lata Mangeshkar, Dhirubhai Ambani, Satyajit Ray, Rishikesh Mukherjee have reached great heights despite this dosh.
This yoga provides success in every aspect of life. Looking back in history, there are numerous examples and names of people who achieved success despite having the Kaal Sarp dosh.
