Kaal Sarp Dosh forms when all seven planets are positioned on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis. This calculator detects it from your birth chart and identifies which of the twelve types (Anant, Kulik, Vasuki … Sheshnag) applies.
It occurs when all seven classical planets fall between Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes), as if hemmed by a serpent. It is said to bring struggle and delays that ease after its peak.
The type depends on which house Rahu occupies: Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar and Sheshnag — each with its own emphasis.
No. Many successful people have it. Its effect depends on the type, the strength of the planets, and the running dasha; remedies are commonly used to ease it.
