What is Kaal sarp dosha?
When two or more planets come together in one place, it is called Yoga. When this yoga gives inauspicious results in a person’s life, then it is called a defect.

This dosha arises when all the planets Rahu (Dragon’s head) and Ketu (Dragon’s tail) are together in a person’s birth chart. Ancient Indian astrology is silent on this dosha and modern Indian astrologers are yet to finalize the existence and consequences of this dosha in the horoscope.
In this dosha, all the planets are aspected by Rahu and Ketu and the person gets influenced by the situation/environment and finds nothing to be successful in life.
Ancient scholars of astrology have accepted this defect but its details are not available. Maharishi (sage) Parashara, sage Varahamihira, sage Bhrigu, etc. accepted this flaw. Actually, Rahu and Ketu are considered shadow planets in Vedic astrology. Astronomically they are the ascending node and the two nodes of the descending node of the orbit. Hence they are able to create mystery in a person’s life and a person never holds onto things in life like one can never hold onto a shadow.
