A simple and effective way to find out if Kaal Sarp Yog is present in your horoscope.

How to Identify Kaal Sarp Yog in Your Chart?

To determine whether Kaal Sarp Dosh (KSY) or Kaal Amrit Yog (KAY) is present in your chart, check the following conditions:

Basic Conditions:

  1. All planets should be positioned between Rahu and Ketu.

  2. No planet should be conjunct with Rahu.

  3. No planet should be conjunct with Ketu.

  4. No planet should be in the Lagna (Ascendant).

  5. No planet should be in the 7th house.

If any of the above conditions are not met, then the chart does not have Kaal Sarp Yog or Kaal Amrit Yog.

Distinguishing Between Kaal Sarp Yog and Kaal Amrit Yog

If all conditions are met, the next step is to determine which type of yoga is present:

Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Start from Rahu in the chart.

  2. Move in the natural zodiacal direction: Aries → Taurus → Gemini → Cancer → etc.

  • If the first entity you encounter is Ketu, then all planets are between Ketu and Rahu, forming Kaal Sarp Yog (KSY).

  • If the first entity you encounter is a planet (other than Ketu), then all planets are between Rahu and Ketu, forming Kaal Amrit Yog (KAY).

Understanding the Impact of KSY and KAY

  • Kaal Sarp Yog (KSY):

    • Indicates a life influenced by materialistic desires and struggles.

    • The person may face obstacles, hardships, and emotional turmoil.

    • Rahu’s influence brings ambition, challenges, and worldly distractions.

  • Kaal Amrit Yog (KAY):

    • Leads towards spiritual progress, wisdom, and detachment.

    • Ketu’s energy inclines the person towards moksha (liberation) and enlightenment.

Alternative Analysis Approach

Another way to check:

  1. Start from Rahu again.

  2. Move in the anti-zodiacal direction: Aries → Pisces → Aquarius → etc.

  • If you encounter a planet other than Ketu first, it means Rahu is swallowing up the planets, indicating Kaal Sarp Yog.

  • If the first entity you encounter is Ketu, it means Ketu is consuming the planetary energy, leading to Kaal Amrit Yog.

This classification helps understand whether a person is influenced by worldly struggles (KSY) or is on a spiritual journey (KAY).
