Kaal Sarp Dosha Calculator

Frequently asked

What is Kaal Sarp yoga?

Kaal Sarp forms when all seven classical planets fall on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis, so the chart is 'hemmed in' between the two nodes. There are twelve named types depending on which houses Rahu and Ketu occupy.

What does 'partial' mean here?

If every planet is on one side but one sits within half a degree of the axis, the formation is treated as partial and its effect as diluted. Many calculators round that up to a full 'yes' - this one reports it as what it is.

Is Kaal Sarp as bad as people say?

It's a chart pattern, and a fairly common one. Traditional texts read it as concentrated effort and delayed timing rather than doom. It is also one of the most heavily monetised 'doshas' in the market - you do not need to buy a remedy to be alright, and Astroniq will never sell you one on the strength of this result.

Is this the same as a Rahu Ketu dosha calculator?

Yes. 'Rahu Ketu dosha' is a popular name for the same pattern - all seven classical planets hemmed on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis. This tool checks exactly that, names which of the twelve types forms, and reports a partial formation as partial. And as above: it's a chart pattern, not a verdict, and it doesn't need a paid remedy.

Does it need my exact birth time?

For the type it does. Whether the formation exists depends on planetary longitudes, which the date settles, but the twelve named types depend on which houses Rahu and Ketu fall in - and that follows your ascendant, which changes about every two hours.
