Kaal Sarp Dosh: Meaning, Effects, and Remedies

Introduction

Kaal Sarp Dosh is one of the most talked-about doshas in Vedic astrology. It occurs when all the planets in a person’s birth chart are positioned between Rahu and Ketu, creating a specific alignment that can influence various aspects of life. Many people believe that this dosh can lead to obstacles, delays, and challenges, but with proper remedies and awareness, its effects can be mitigated.

In this blog, we will explore the meaning, types, effects, and remedies of Kaal Sarp Dosh, helping you understand how to navigate its influence in your life.


What is Kaal Sarp Dosh?

In astrology, the Rahu-Ketu axis represents karmic lessons and spiritual growth. When all planets are positioned between Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) in a horoscope, it forms Kaal Sarp Dosh.

Key points:

  • Rahu and Ketu are always opposite to each other in the chart.

  • Kaal Sarp Dosh is considered significant because the energy of all planets gets “trapped” between these nodes.

  • It is believed to cause obstacles, mental stress, and delayed success if not addressed properly.
