In Vedic Astrology, Rahu and Ketu represent the serpent. While Rahu is the head of the snake, Ketu forms the body. Kala means time, and Sarpa means serpent. Kala Sarpa means ‘Serpent of Time.’ Kala Sarpa Dosha is formed when all planets, including Lagna (Ascendant), are placed within Rahu and Ketu. It is a powerful Dosha and can nullify other good yogas in the birth chart. It is also called Kala Sarpa yoga. Once the person born with this yoga pays back the effects of bad karma in this lifetime, they begin to rise in life and reach a good position. Kala Sarpa Dosha is believed to be a malefic Dosha and can impact an individual adversely in life. A native may suffer from many negative effects of this Dosha. Those having Kala Sarpa Dosha can suffer setbacks and reversals in life. Remedies for Kala Sarpa Dosha
