Check whether all seven classical planets - Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn - are enclosed on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis in your birth chart. The calculator also shows your Rahu-Ketu signs, Lagna, the traditional 12-type classification and which planet, if any, breaks a complete Kaal Sarp configuration.

Kaal Sarp Dosha, also called Kala Sarpa Yoga or Kalsarp Dosh, is commonly checked when all seven classical planets are located on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis in the natal chart. Rahu and Ketu are always opposite, so they divide the zodiac into two 180-degree halves. This calculator checks both halves mathematically rather than assuming the yoga from the presence of the nodes alone.
Astro Nilmani reports a complete configuration only when all seven planets are in the same half of the Rahu-Ketu axis. If six planets are enclosed and one is outside, the result is shown as a near enclosure, not automatically promoted to a complete Kaal Sarp Dosha. This helps avoid over-diagnosis.
The traditional names are commonly mapped to Rahu's house from the Ascendant: Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar and Sheshnag. The type is meaningful only after the enclosure condition has been checked.
No single yoga should be treated as a guaranteed life verdict. Even popular astrology references note that people with this configuration can still be successful. A complete interpretation normally considers the strength of Rahu-Ketu, Lagna, benefic and malefic influences, planetary dignity, Dasha and the whole horoscope.
জন্মকুণ্ডলীতে সূর্য, চন্দ্র, মঙ্গল, বুধ, বৃহস্পতি, শুক্র ও শনি - এই সাতটি গ্রহ যদি Rahu-Ketu axis-এর একই পাশে থাকে, তখন Kaal Sarp configuration বলা হয়। এই calculator-এ কোন গ্রহ axis-এর ভিতরে বা বাইরে আছে, Rahu কোন house-এ আছে এবং কোন traditional type প্রযোজ্য হতে পারে তা দেখা যায়।
The calculator finds Lahiri sidereal longitudes for the seven classical planets plus Mean Rahu and Ketu, then checks whether all seven planets fall inside either of the two 180-degree arcs between the nodes.
In this calculator, yes. A full configuration requires all seven classical planets to be enclosed in one half. If one or more are outside, the tool reports that the complete condition is not met.
Twelve traditional types are commonly listed, from Anant to Sheshnag, based on Rahu's house axis.
Yes, especially for the Ascendant and therefore the named type. Planetary positions also depend on the exact birth moment.
No. This is a chart-configuration calculator. Event prediction needs the complete horoscope, Dasha and other planetary factors.
