Astrological remedies for Kala Sarpa Dosha

When a person's horoscope is affected by this condition that is when they are said to be having 'Kala sarpa dosha' since they have very bad effects.

Though scientifically Rahu and Kethu are not considered to be as planets but still according to Indian Vedic astrology they are considered as planets for its influences are very powerful. When a planet comes in coincidence with Rahu or Kethu that's when Kala Sarpa yoga is formed which is sure to cause lot of hindrances leading to failure in most of the things we do.

Constant obstacles will lead the individual in not growing in his life. Being the nature of the kala sarpa yoga in blocking the path of the native, the individuals who are affected by this is supposed to put in more effort to achieve sometimes even the smallest things in life. Astrology also explains the fact that Kala sarpa dosha will not lead to any torment if the planets are good in the horoscope, but unfortunately when this yoga is propped up with other bad yogas or timings then it is sure to do some bad on the owner.Kalasarpa yoga is supposed to be one of the very worst among all the Nabhasa Yogas and is considered to be ill-omened and is sure to cause the fall of a person causing physical deformity or moral weakness, misfortunes, deceit and treason

The only favorable or the positive influence of this dosha is that the person undergoing this dosha gets the power to do relentless and strenuous work with exceptional success in the fields of studies, administrations, philosophy, etc. Above all it helps in fulfilling a person's wish of his life in two different ways either by the materialistic concept or in the spiritual scope. The nodes of the Moon are related to the effects of a person's actions that determine his destiny in his next incarnation. Thus it expresses karmic nemesis. The Kalasarpa Yoga will be mostly operative between the ages of 39 and 45 years.The effect of Kalasarpayoga is less when the lagna of an individual's horoscope is not included and if it is not in the axis of Rahu and Ketu. Most of the other general doshas are formed by the combinations of Mars, Sun or Moon which will either lead to rewards or extreme poverty.

The encirclement of all the planets in the natal chart by the two nodes makes the individual to enjoy the fruits of previous Karma. Due to bad deeds done by an individual in the previous birth a person is said to suffer in the present birth. But in spite of all the sufferings and if the concerned person is doing good in the present birth and when Kalasarpa yoga being present in his or her horoscope, then this will lead to decrease in the suffering in the present birth and in course of time will change into good and life will be happy. A portion of the distress caused by the kalasarpa dosha is cancelled when Rahu or Ketu conjoins with any planet either in the ascendant or in the 7th house from the lagna. This kind of situation in the horoscope will lead to Raja Yoga at the respective attributed house. Depending on this the native will go through either good or bad according to the constitution of the lords of the ascendant and the 7th house in the natal horoscope.

The impact of the Kalasarpa Yoga is greatly minimized, if three or more planets are exalted or in parivartana or the lords of the 2nd , 4th , 9th and 10th occupy the Trikona or Kendra houses, without serious weakening, destructive positions or aspected by malefics. The mundane matters are also seriously influenced by the kalasarpa yoga leading to unexpected natural havocs and calamities.
