Kalasarpa Yoga (KSY) is said to be formed if all the planets are
situated between Rahu and Ketu.
The results are that
countries and rulers are destroyed and people become afflicted. .
Strictly speaking KSY does
not find a place in the classical astrological literature. How
this yoga gained lot of popularity now-a-days.
The
definition of KSY given above generally holds good. But what if all the planets
are hemmed
in
between Ketu and Rahu? According to some, this does not constitute KSY. But in
my view
irrespective
of whether the planets are between Rahu and Ketu or Ketu and Rahu the yoga technically exists.
But in conferring results several variations are possible.
The
general belief is that KSY is evil restraining all the other good yogas present
in the horoscope and that those
having the yoga will have set-backs and reverses in life. It is also feared that
Kalasarpa Yoga is
capable of nullifying the most powerful Dhana yogas rendering a rich man poor.
In
interpreting Kalasarpa Yoga, consideration should be given to the houses which
are mainly involved, e.g.,
1st and 7th, 2nd and 8th, 3rd and 9th, 4th and l0th, 5th and 11th. 6th and
12th, etc.
In each
case the results could be different, depending upon a number of other
horoscopic factors. Generally
it is found, other combinations
warranting.
The
6th-12th axis (i.e., Kalasarpa Yoga) could indicate incarceration, or spiritual
elevation, depending upon the
presence or absence of powerful Bandhana Yogas.
If the axis involves the 1st and 7th houses, it is not good for marital happiness. The
marital life may become oppressive
and marred by frequent clashes and want of understanding.
If the
7th lord or Venus is strongly placed and well disposed then the evil results
should not be predicted. The
marital troubles can be avoided. Knowing in advance, the implications of this
yoga, one can regulate one's thinking and behavior
and develop an understanding.
Likewise if the houses involved are the
4th and 10th, setbacks may mark one's career unless the 10th house or the 10th
lord is strong and well placed.
KSY has
its bright & different shades. It makes one industrious, hard-working,
aware of one's own ability despite mental restlessness. It raises the natives to top
positions in their respective fields provided of course other Raja Yogas are
present.
Rahu-Kethu
axis favours rise in mundane life while Kethu-Rahu axis indicates elevation in
spiritual matters.
It is also found that KSY natives get betrayed
by trusted friends and even relatives.
Suffering
due to developments in life strengthens the mind and mellows one’ s outlook.
This is a blessing of KSY.
Other
important factors to be noted are :-
(1) In a
KSY horoscope, the evil gets intensified if the Lagna is between Ketu and Rahu;
(2) the
evil gets almost neutralised if the Lagna is between Rahu and Ketu and
(3) the
yoga can be considered as defunct even if a single planet is with Rahu or Ketu
or outside the axis.
The
original sloka refers to agree rahu, i. e., Rahu must be the main or prominent
planet which means the Yoga
can become effective if planets are in between Rahu and Kethu. Another factor
to be considered
is if the planet associated with Rahu or Kethu is strongly disposed in his
exaltation or own house,
the intensity of the KSY gets reduced. The common fear that if KalaSarpa Yoga
is fully present the
effects of other good planetary
combinations get nullified is not without justification. The r e a r e horoscopes
with excellent yogas showing great advancement and prosperity but the natives
continue to be mediocre.
A brilliant career may suddenly end. Such cases may have KSY but it may not be the main
cause for making one what he is. it may be one of the causes.
It
occurs to me that undue importance need not be given to KSY. The view held by
some astrologers that KSY
affects longevity and adversely affects the operation of other yoga’s favoring
rise in life, Achievement
and accomplishment is not tenable.
The
overall assessment of the horoscope is important. No single yoga, including
KSY, is capable of marring
or making a horoscope. In my view Kalasarpa Yoga plays an important role in
mundane astrology and is
not of much importance in individual charts.
