Kaal Sarp Dosha Checker
Checks whether all seven classical planets in your real computed chart fall entirely on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis — the traditional definition of Kaal Sarp Dosha — and identifies which of the twelve named variants applies based on which houses Rahu and Ketu actually occupy.
Because the check is run against your own real computed planetary longitudes rather than a simplified rule of thumb, it correctly distinguishes a genuine full-axis Kaal Sarp configuration from a partial one — and names which of the twelve traditional variants (Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, and so on) actually applies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Kaal Sarp Dosha real, or is it just superstition?
It's a traditional Vedic astrological concept, not a scientifically validated claim — this tool checks the real geometric condition classical texts describe (whether all seven classical planets fall within the same half of the chart relative to Rahu and Ketu).
What's the difference between full and partial Kaal Sarp Dosha?
Full Kaal Sarp Yog requires all seven classical planets hemmed within the same 180° half bounded by Rahu and Ketu; a 'partial' case has six of the seven hemmed and one sitting just outside, the loosest commonly-cited threshold for a weaker form.
How many types of Kaal Sarp Dosha are there?
Twelve, named Anant through Sheshnag, determined by which house Rahu occupies at the time — this tool identifies the exact variant from your real computed Rahu house placement.
Why are Rahu and Ketu used if they aren't physical planets?
Rahu and Ketu are the Moon's lunar nodes — the two points where the Moon's orbit crosses the ecliptic — not physical bodies, but Vedic astrology treats them as full shadow planets with real, calculable positions exactly 180° apart.
What are the traditional remedies for Kaal Sarp Dosha?
Classical practice cites Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja, chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra or nodal beej mantras, fasting on Saturdays, and wearing Hessonite (Gomed) or Cat's Eye (Lehsunia) after consulting a practitioner — offered as tradition, not a guaranteed claim.
