The 12 Kaal Sarp Dosha Types

Kaal Sarp is a chart pattern, all seven planets falling on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis, not a curse or a guarantee of misfortune. Its effects are conditional on the strength and placement of the planets and the chart as a whole, and many accomplished people have it. If even one planet sits outside the axis, the pattern is partial or absent. Astroyana presents it factually, without fear, and no remedy is required to live a full life.
