Kaal Sarp Dosha Checker

Rahu and Ketu are always exactly opposite each other, so they divide the chart into two halves. When every one of the seven classical planets sits inside one of those halves, classical texts name the pattern Kaal Sarp. Twelve named types are distinguished by which house Rahu occupies.

Because it depends on a whole-chart arrangement rather than a single placement, it is comparatively uncommon — and it is present for life when it occurs, rather than starting and stopping.

The engine computes sidereal longitudes for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn plus the Rahu–Ketu axis for your exact birth date, time and place. It then tests whether all seven fall in the arc between Rahu and Ketu on one side. Houses are counted from the ascendant, so the named type depends on an accurate birth time.

Borderline charts — a planet within a degree or two of the axis, or one planet just outside it — are exactly where schools disagree. Where a chart is borderline we say so instead of forcing a yes or no.

In traditional Vedic astrology the pattern is commonly interpreted as a life that moves in strong chapters: long stretches of effort followed by clear progress, with the effect felt mainly during Rahu and Ketu periods in the Vimshottari Dasha. Outside those windows classical practice expects it to be barely noticeable.

A single pattern is not sufficient to conclude anything about a person's prospects, and many charts described as Kaal Sarp belong to settled, accomplished lives. We will not describe it as a curse, because that framing is not supported and it frightens people for no reason.
