Commonly known in the Vedic astrology as Kaalsarpa Yoga, which is formed by Rahu and Ketu, namely if all the planets are isolated between Rahu and Ketu.
Yoga’s in general are only named in Vedic Astrology. It has therefore nothing to do with the Western Astrology.
The Vedic Astrology is created/founded by Rishis (today we call them Yogis). The true meaning of the several existing yogas is written by the Rishis with the exact words and the deeper meaning.
Nowadays, when we call Kaalsarpa Yoga, we shortly see and interpret as malefic. Generally, the deeper meaning of the Kaalsarpa Yoga we don’t bring out.
When we speak about the Kaalsarpa Yoga, we only can consider the Vedic Astrology that means the 7 planets (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Moon).This doesn’t mean that the Vedic Astrology doesn’t know the other planets (Neptune, Uranus, Pluto, Chiron etc.). All these planets are also described in the Astrology. However, the Rishis didn’t consider these planets in their analysis for the human life because of higher reasons. Example: If a human life come over resp. reaches the Saturn’s true quality, he is out of dependence. The person overcame the highest malefic. There is no more bad on the person.
I just like clearly to point out that there shouldn’t be any mix up or confusion between the Western Astrology and the Vedic Astrology. Both are accurate but both use a different method. We are not deciding here whether the Western Astrology is better or the Vedic Astrology. In the right person’s hand, the final results will be always the same; be it Chinese Astrology, Western or Vedic Astrology or much other knowledge. Same as for example 2+3=5 or 1+4=5 or 1+1+3=5; the way or method doesn’t matter but the result, the truth, is always the same. The Astrology founders, each prophet, had their own method, but finally came to the same results.

What is Kaalsarp Yoga & how its formed
Indian Vedic astrology
The Kala Sarpa Yoga is a combination of two words namely the Kala and Sarpa. Kala means the time personified. It is the time which is responsible for bringing out the changes in this phenomenal world. Kala also implies death of the individual of the phenomenon. The Sarpa means the serpent. When the serpent bites the person dies a silent death. The death is nothing but a reorganization of various elements of nature. The changes are going on every moment. The difference between the routinely regular changes and the changes brought about by the Kala Sarpa Yoga is that the former are gradual and do not necessarily mean the end of the phenomenon. In the former case there may be some steps that on being taken may delay those changes. In the latter it is often impossible to think of them much less to effect them. They are too quick to be remedied. What is Kala Sarpa Yoga remains to be explained.
Rahu and Ketu are considered to be the two parts of the demon Rahu lying axially in opposite directions and dividing the zodiac in two equal parts. When all the planets lie on one side of the axis the configuration is Kala Sarpa Yoga. Some are of the opinion that Rahu should invariably be in the first six signs of the birth chart. If the ascendant id Virgo, Rahu should falls in the signs Cancer to Leo, Another implication of this is that there should be no planet in the signs occupied by the nodes. Some eminent astrologers believe that the Kala Sarpa Yoga if formed when the planets are on one side of the axis and that is immaterial whether some of them are with Rahu or Ketu irrespective the houses occupied by them.
The only restriction to them is that the longitudes of the planets should not exceed the longitudes of the nodes. According to our modest experience, the Yoga is formed and does not have its effect irrespective of the houses occupied by the nodes, for Rahu is the Karmik agent (outlet/distribution) and its position is immaterial in the birth chart. Our study of the Kala Sarpa Yoga indicates that the Yoga is not particular for a class or society. It may appear in the charts of very ordinary as well as of dignifies persons. This may mean some important diversion in the course of their lives. The reason may be different for different persons. The world is an integrated whole. A change at one place shall have its effects on some other parts of the world. As a Rudra Rahu has to oversee the operation of the law of evolution as well as the law of the Karmas and retribution. There may be a need of suspension of operation of other combination for the time being because:
1.The operation of the Yoga’s is not in the interest of the law of Evolution at a particular moment.
2.At any point when the operation of the other Yoga’s is suspended the person may be required to serve the world in some other capacity which the individual has acquired and the relevant planets indicate that the time has come for their fructification.
3.The individual has to learn something more and acquire more experience and wisdom before his/her acquisitions denoted by the planetary combinations are allowed to fructify according to the circumstances prevailing them.
It is true that much is not available on the subject in our old scriptures but our older astrologers have given some fruitful guidance by providing references of this Yoga is all the twelve houses of the birth charts. Result has been given as brief in below.
Rahu and Ketu posited in the 12th and 6th houses respectively and the planets occupying houses 7 to 11 form a Kala Sarpa Yoga. The result of such Yoga apply to the first half of the life. It is called the Poorva Ardha Yoga.
When the position of Rahu and Ketu is reserved and all the rest seven planets occupy houses from Lagna to the 5th house, the Yoga is applicable the later half period of life.
In any of the above Yoga the position of Moon, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn requires special attention. If Moon and Jupiter, and Mercury and Saturn are in quadrants to the each other in the individual gets material comforts but no domestic peace. There may be some other important positions of planets like conjunction.
When all the planets come between the axis of Rahu and Ketu, the knower’s of astrological science very easily come to understand that the said native us suffering various troubles due to Kaalsarp Yoga. Remember all the natives suffering Kaalsarp Yoga are not equally affected. The disposition of the planets and the signs in various i.e. the twelve houses and the strength of the houses and the planets and many other such points leave unfailing effect on the native. So, one need not be afraid of hearing of Kaalsarp Yoga. On the other hand, natives need to get the proper knowledge of it through having it analyzed by a learned good Astrologer.
Mentioned below are few such Astrological combination that trouble the native very strongly and he suffers in different ways:
1.When Rahu and Moon are conjunct in Lagna in the natal horoscope, the native is always troubled by his misconception. He always feels as if somebody can give him losses in different ways or otherwise he is always depressed, stressed and mentally unrest.
2.When Lagna is Aries, Scorpio, Cancer or the Sagittarius sign and Mars & Jupiter are conjunct in Lagna, whereas Rahu is placed in the fifth house conjunct with Mars and Mercury or the fifth Rahu is aspected by the planet Mars or mercury or Rahu is in the fifth house without any conjunction, then the son of the native suffers unavoidable troubles or the native himself is dragged in a criminal case or undergoes heavy pains.
3.When in Kaalsarp Yoga Rahu is conjunct with Venus also, the native is having child trouble i.e. not having children, his children trouble him, or his children face troubles.
4.When Lagna and the Lagna lord both are afflicted besides having Kaalsarp Yoga the native remains physically unfit as also mentally disturbed.
5.When no any planet exists in the preceding and the succeeding house of the natal Moon besides having Kaalsarp Yoga or no planet exists in kendras from Lagna or the natal Moon, the native is mainly having financial crisis i.e. his financial state is very miserable.
6.When Jupiter is conjunct with Rahu the native has to face misfortune in many ways.
7.When either of the luminaries i.e. the Sun or the Moon is conjunct with Rahu the native suffers unfavorable situations. He is physically unfit and suffers financial problems.
8.When Rahu is conjunct with Saturn or ‘Naandi Yoga’ is present in the horoscope the native has to face adverse effects over his health and children. His suffer hurdles in job or profession.
9.When Rahu is conjunct with the planet Mercury or say ‘Jaddatar Yoga’ is present in the horoscope, it increases his economical & social problems. It affects his financial status adversely.
10.When eighth Rahu is aspect by either of the malefic planet i.e. Sun, Mars or Saturn, it gives delay in marriage.
11.When Saturn is posted in the fourth house and Rahu in twelfth house of the natal horoscope, the native is a big fraud and cunning person. He can get into big trouble due to such nature.
12.When Moon and Rahu are conjunct in Lagna and either Mars or Saturn is posted in the fifth, ninth or the twelfth house of the natal horoscope, the native does not enjoy mental health or we can say he is mentally upset.
13.When ‘Navmansha’ lord of the tenth house is conjunct with the Mars, Rahu, or Saturn, the native is prone to fire threat. He must be warned against it.
14.When Navamansha lord of the tenth lord is conjunct with Rahu or Ketu the native has to undergo death like pains.
15.When Rahu and Mars are placed sixth-eighth to each other or Rahu is aspected by the planet Mars, the situation of the native worsens.
16.When Lagna sign is Aries, Taurus or Cancer and Rahu is placed in the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, eleventh or the twelfth house the native enjoys the comforts of woman, children, health, wealth and property all at a time.
17.When Rahu is posted in the sixth house and Jupiter in Lagna or the quadrant, the native lives a happy and prosperous life.
18.When Moon and Rahu together lie in quadrants (1,4,7,10th houses) or trines (5/9 house), the native enjoys all comforts and prosperity.
19.When Venus is placed in the second or the twelfth house, the native attains favorable results.
20.When Sun and Mercury are conjunct and Mercury is not combust, the native attains favorable results.
21.When Lagna and the Lagna lord, the Sun and the Moon all four are strong or strongly placed in the natal horoscope i.e. in an auspicious house as also aspected by the auspicious planets the adverse effects or the unfavorable results of Kaalsarp Yoga are nullified.
22.When Mars is strongly placed in the tenth house and is not aspected by the lord of any malefic house or by any malefic planet, the unfavorable effects of Kaalsarp Yoga are not attained.
23.When Venus is placed in ‘Malavaya Yoga’ i.e. the planet Venus lies in either of the four quadrants in its exalted or own sign and is not conjunct with or aspected by an inauspicious planet the adverse effects of kaal sarp are not attained or it gives only average malefic results.
24.When planet Saturn is in ‘Shash’ Yoga i.e. Saturn is placed in either quadrants in its exalted or his own sign without having the aspect or conjunction of any malefic planet or the lord of inauspicious house, the unfavorable results of the Kaalsarp Yoga are not visible. It reduces down the adverse results of Kaalsarp Yoga.
25.When Moon-Mars conjunction exists in quadrants in own sign or their exaltation signs and this conjunction is neither aspected by or conjunct with any malefic planet, then all the troubles caused by Kaalsarp Yoga are turned down.
26.When Rahu is placed in non-visible houses i.e. first to sixth and other planets are in visible houses i.e. the remaining six houses then this Kaalsarp Yoga is said to be prosperity giving.
27.When Rahu is placed in the sixth house and Jupiter is in Lagna or the tenth house, the native enjoys wealthy position in life. He is not having any financial problems.
All the above combinations have been discussed with a view to make a common person to understand the unfavorable/adverse effects of Kaalsarp Yoga. In fact, Kaalsarp Yoga does not necessarily grants unfavorable results to all the natives. Any decision (final prediction) can be made only after having analyzed the position, aspect and the conjunction of various planets and the constellations in the twelve houses and the signs.
Many natives having Kaalsarp Yoga have reached to the heights of name and fame, despite having passed through various troubles and hurdles. Among them all Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru- the first prime minister of Independent India can be highlighted. Late Shri Morarji Desai ex prime minister as also Late Shri Chandra Shekhar singh are also among one of them. All the above three have reached to the post of prime minister in spite of having ‘Kaalsarp Yoga’ present in their natal horoscope. So, you should not lose heart under any circumstances. One should go on making efforts to progress and step up for his all-round progress. He must owe to his duties ighteously.
How to Analyze Kaalsarp Yoga
Contrary to popular belief the effects of this Yoga are not always malefic. Just having one of the combinations described above does not mean that the native will invariably go through the results described above. The whole chart needs to be analyzed in order to come to a conclusion. In my experience following factors should be considered.
i. One must check the overall strength of the chart by looking at Lagna, Lagna lord, Moon and Sun. If the overall chart is strong this will not let the kaalsarpa yoga have any major negative influence. A weak chart on the other hand will not be able to protect the native.
ii. Depending on the Rahu/Ketu position, determine which side of the axis has all planets. All the houses of the side which is totally empty will feel the effects of this yoga. The houses in which Rahu/Ketu fall will particularly determine the area of life which will be impacted negatively.
iii. However if the lord of the houses falling on the empty side of the Rahu/Ketu are very well placed (Exalted, in Friend’s house, in own house, aspecting their own house). Then those houses will not suffer that much and negative effect will be reduced to the factors attributed to those houses.
iv. Vasuki, Padam, Mahapadam, Shankachood and Vishdhar Kaalsarpa generally do not give bad results if the overall chart is in a really bad shape. This is because of their association with 3rd, 6th and 11th house in which Rahu/Ketu are considered favorable.
v. Navamsha chart Rahu/Ketu fall in 3rd, 6th or 11th house, then the effects are reduced.
vi. One must check the constellations of Rahu/Ketu as well. If they fall in benefic constellations (if the lords are natural benefic planets) then they become more unfavorable.
vii. Its impact will be more prominent during dasha and antardasha periods of Rahu and Ketu. This is very important point. If this yoga is very strong in one’s chart, but the dasha does not operate till very late in his life, then it really does not affect the native that much.
viii. It causes severe hardships when related with Sun and Saturn or the lords of the houses occupied by Sun or Saturn.
