Kaal Sarp Dosha is formed in a horoscope when all seven main planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) are positioned between Rahu and Ketu. In such a configuration, the planetary energies are believed to come under the axis of Rahu-Ketu, creating imbalance in certain areas of life.
In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu represent karmic influences, past-life impressions, and psychological tendencies. When other planets are hemmed between them, a person may experience repeated struggles, delays, or sudden ups and downs in life.
