Kaal Sarp — the geometry, without the fear
Kaal Sarp is a simple geometric question: do all seven classical grahas sit on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis? We compute it precisely, name the type if it applies, and tell you what that classically means — as a pattern, never a curse.
What is Kaal Sarp dosha?
A chart formation where all seven classical planets fall within the arc between Rahu and Ketu. Twelve named types exist, one per house Rahu occupies. Many traditions treat it as intensifying a life's focus along one axis; some lineages barely weight it at all.
A planet sits right on the axis — does it count?
Border cases matter: if a planet is within a degree of the nodal axis, some traditions read the formation as partial (khandit). We flag exactly that, rather than rounding your chart into a scarier verdict.
Should I pay for a remedy?
Not on the strength of a label. If the formation is present, the honest next step is reading the whole chart — where the concentration falls and what supports it. Be wary of anyone whose calculator always finds a dosha and always sells the cure.
