Understanding the Significance of Kaal Sarp Dosh in Astrology

Kaal Sarp Dosh is a significant astrological condition that is believed to impact an individual's life in various ways. This dosh occurs when all the planets in a person's horoscope are positioned between Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the significance of Kaal Sarp Dosh, its effects on individuals, and how it can be mitigated through specific rituals and practices.

Rahu represents the north node, while Ketu represents the south node. When all planets are confined to this area, it is said that the native is born under the Kaal Sarp Dosh.

This astrological condition is believed to bring various challenges and obstacles in a person's life. The intensity of the dosh depends on the position of Rahu and Ketu in the horoscope and the planets' placement within these nodes.
