Instant and free — no signup, no phone number, nothing stored. Enter your birth details and this tool checks whether all your planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu — the Kaal Sarp yoga — tells you if it is full or partial, and (with birth time) which of the twelve types by Rahu's house. It runs in your browser on the same sidereal (Lahiri) engine as the site's full kundli tool — also free, PDF included.
What Kaal Sarp Dosha actually is
Kaal Sarp Dosha forms when all seven planets — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn — fall on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis, so the entire chart is "swallowed" between the two lunar nodes. Rahu is the serpent's head, Ketu its tail; when every planet sits within that half-circle, the yoga is complete.
Full vs partial
If even one planet falls outside the Rahu-Ketu arc, the dosha is partial (bhanga) — much milder, and often effectively cancelled. This tool tells you whether your chart is full or partial and names the planet that breaks it, so you get an honest picture instead of a scare.
The twelve types
When birth time is known, the yoga is classified into twelve types by the house Rahu occupies — Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar and Sheshnag. The type indicates the area of life most touched, which is why Rahu's house — not just the presence of the yoga — matters.
Is it as bad as the internet says? No.
Kaal Sarp is the most over-dramatised yoga online. Many highly accomplished people carry it; it often reads as a life of sustained effort rewarded by delayed but real success. Its true weight depends on the rest of the chart, the running dasha, and whether it is full or partial. A grounded reading — not a frightening label — is what tells you what it means for you.

Frequently asked questions
What is Shani Sade Sati?
Sade Sati is the roughly 7½-year period when Saturn transits the twelfth, first and second signs counted from your natal Moon sign, in three phases of about 2½ years each — traditionally a time of testing, responsibility and maturing.
How do I know which phase I am in?
Rising = Saturn in the 12th from your Moon, peak = Saturn over your Moon sign, setting = Saturn in the 2nd. This tool finds your Moon sign and today's Saturn sign and names the phase and its end.
Is Sade Sati always bad?
No — it is a period of discipline and consolidation, not a verdict. Its effect depends on Saturn's strength in your own chart; for some it brings hard-won growth. A personal reading, not a generic label, tells you how it lands.
Is this calculator free?
Completely — no signup, no phone number, and it runs in your browser on the same Lahiri sidereal engine as the site's full free kundli.

About Dr. Sharma's Experience
What is Kaal Sarp Dosh and how does the Kaal Sarp Dosh Calculator work?
Kaal Sarp Dosh is a specific planetary alignment that occurs in a birth chart when all planets are placed between Rahu and Ketu, causing potential obstacles in life. The calculator uses Vedic astrology principles to determine the presence and intensity of this dosha based on an individual's birth details, specifically the positions of Rahu and Ketu in the 12th house from the Moon.
What are the causes and effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh?
Kaal Sarp Dosh is caused by the malefic influences of Rahu and Ketu in the 12th house from the Moon, leading to obstacles, delays, and challenges in various areas of life, including career, relationships, and finances. This dosha can also cause mental and emotional turmoil, but its effects can be mitigated with the right remedies and a deep understanding of the planetary influences involved.
Can Kaal Sarp Dosh be cured or removed?
While Kaal Sarp Dosh cannot be completely removed, its effects can be minimized through various remedies, including the recitation of the Rahu-Ketu mantra, charitable donations, and wearing protective gemstones like Hessonite or Coral. However, it's essential to understand that the intensity and impact of the dosha vary from individual to individual, and personalized guidance from an experienced astrologer is recommended.
How can I find a good astrologer to help me with Kaal Sarp Dosh?
When seeking an astrologer, look for someone with extensive experience in Vedic astrology, specifically in predictive astrology and remedial measures. Check their credentials, such as a PhD in astrology or certification from a reputable institution. A good astrologer will always emphasize the importance of understanding and working with the planetary influences, rather than guaranteeing quick fixes or promises of success.
What are some common misconceptions about Kaal Sarp Dosh?
One common misconception is that Kaal Sarp Dosh is a curse or a jinx. However, this dosha is simply a planetary alignment that requires attention and understanding. Another misconception is that it's a lifelong affliction; while its effects can be long-term, the dosha can be mitigated with the right remedies and guidance from an experienced astrologer.
How can I verify the accuracy of an astrologer's predictions and advice?
A reliable astrologer will always provide clear explanations and evidence-based interpretations of the birth chart. They will also emphasize the importance of understanding the planetary influences and the individual's free will. When in doubt, seek a second opinion from another qualified astrologer, and always trust your instincts when evaluating their advice.
What should I look for when choosing a professional astrologer?
When selecting an astrologer, look for someone with extensive experience, a deep understanding of Vedic astrology principles, and a commitment to providing personalized guidance and support. A good astrologer will always prioritize your well-being and success, and will work collaboratively with you to develop a plan that addresses your specific needs and circumstances.
