In Vedic astrology, Kaal Sarp Dosh is considered a significant planetary combination. According to Ravan Samhita Jyotish Shastra, when Rahu is placed in the 12th house and Ketu is positioned in the 6th house of a birth chart, and all other planets fall between the Rahu–Ketu axis (with no planet outside this axis), a complete Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh is formed.
This dosh can bring various challenges in mental, financial, health, and marital aspects of life. However, it is equally true that with proper remedies, discipline, and sincere efforts, its negative effects can be significantly reduced.
What is Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh?
When Rahu occupies the 12th house (expenses, foreign lands, subconscious mind, isolation) and Ketu sits in the 6th house (diseases, enemies, debts), and all other planets are positioned between them, it forms Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh.
The 12th house is connected with losses, mental stress, and foreign connections, while the 6th house represents health issues, conflicts, and loans. Therefore, this planetary alignment often makes life more struggle-oriented.

Does Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh Completely Control Life?
According to astrology, no planetary dosh is stronger than one’s karma.
If benefic planets cast positive aspects in the birth chart, or if the person is spiritual, hardworking, and disciplined, the negative impact of this dosh can be reduced significantly.
In many cases, this yoga makes a person strong, independent, and resilient through struggles.
