Check if all planets fall between the Rahu–Ketu axis in your birth chart

What is Kalsarpa Yoga?

When all 7 classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu — the shadow planets — Kalsarpa Yoga is formed. It indicates past-life karmic patterns that create obstacles and delays, but ultimately lead to deep spiritual transformation.

Kaal Sarp Yoga

Kaal Sarp Yoga forms when all seven planets fall between Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes — the serpent of time swallowing the chart. Twelve variants exist depending on which node leads and which houses are occupied. Its effects are debated among astrologers: some see struggle and sudden turns, others note that many successful charts carry it. Traditional remedies include Nag Puja on Nag Panchami, Rudrabhishek at Trimbakeshwar or Kalahasti, and regular Rahu-Ketu mantra japa. Check your chart here to see if the yoga is present.
