Kaal Sarp Dosha Checker

Enter your birth details to check for Kaal Sarp Dosha, computed from actual planetary positions rather than a lookup table. Free, no sign-up, about a minute.

The classical rule, applied literally

The check is this: if all seven grahas β€” Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn β€” fall inside the same half of the chart bounded by the Rahu-Ketu axis, that is a whole Kaal Sarp Dosha. Six on one side with a single planet outside is counted as partial. Anything else is not a dosha. Rahu is taken as the mean lunar node, Ketu exactly opposite, and the twelve named types are read from the sign Rahu occupies.

Precision, and where it runs out

Positions come from the Schlyter low-precision orbital model β€” accurate to roughly a degree β€” converted to sidereal longitudes with the Lahiri ayanamsa. That is close enough for the split this test looks at, but a chart cast by an astrologer with full ephemerides can differ, especially when a planet sits near the axis. This is a light, entertainment-grade check, not a substitute for consulting one.
