According to the prevalent definition of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog, when in a horoscope, Rahu is placed in the third house, Ketu is placed in the ninth house and all the other planets are placed between the axis of Rahu and Ketu, Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in that horoscope. To simplify, if Rahu is placed in the third house of a horoscope, Ketu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope and all other planets are placed from third to ninth house or from ninth to third house in this horoscope, Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in the horoscope. This defect is also known as Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh. We have already discussed all the conditions required for the formation of Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope in the article named ‘Kaal Sarp Yog’ and hence we will skip those conditions here. Let’s now see what type of problems Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog can cause when it actually forms in a horoscope.
The natives having Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh in their horoscopes are likely to suffer from many types of problems and above all the problems; they are likely to have bad luck in many spheres of their lives. This is due to the fact that the presence of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope is a direct indication of Pitra Dosh in that horoscope which means that Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh is always accompanied by Pitra Dosh. Looking at the conditions required for the formation of any type of Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope; all the planets should be between Rahu and Ketu axis, both Rahu and Ketu should be negative; and both of them should be fully active in order to form Kaal Sarp Dosh in that horoscope.
Let’s now look at the formation of Pitra Dosh in order to understand this concept in a better way. The definition of Pitra Dosh says that if in a horoscope; Sun, the ninth house or the lord of the ninth house is afflicted by malefic planets, Pitra Dosh is formed in that horoscope. When Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog is formed in a horoscope, it means Ketu is placed in the ninth house of that horoscope, it is malefic and it is fully active. The placement of malefic and fully active Ketu in the ninth house forms Pitra Dosh in the horoscope and hence Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog is always accompanied by Pitra Dosh. Since Pitra Dosh deals with the bad karmas done by ancestors, it means that the presence of this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh has something to do with the family line of the native.
It can be said that many of the problems falling upon the native having Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in his horoscope may have direct relation to the deeds done by ancestors of that native as ninth house of the horoscope is the house of ancestors. Therefore, the placement of malefic Ketu in this house of ancestors directly indicates a karmic debt formed due to the bad deeds done by the ancestors of the native, which leads to the formation of two defects at once; and accordingly the native suffers from the bad effects of both Kaal Sarp Dosh and Pitra Dosh in various spheres of his life.
The presence of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can make the native suffer from many problems related to his family members. The native suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may have to work hard throughout his life for his paternal family which may include his parents and siblings. The native may have to spend big amounts of his earned money on his brothers and sisters throughout his life, but he may not receive much appreciation from their side, due to the malefic impact of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog. On the other hand, his brothers and sisters may keep using and exploiting him for financial gains and they may always keep imposing one after the other responsibility on him.
However it doesn’t end here and in some cases of such Kaal Sarp Dosh, these brothers and sisters may speak ill about the native most of the time, they are jealous of the native and they don’t miss a chance to malign his reputation or laugh upon his troubles, as and when they fall upon him. For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with Saturn, malefic Ketu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, malefic Jupiter is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Leo and malefic Mercury is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini, the native may face such problems. The native under the combined effect of such Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may have to spend a lot of his earned money, time and resources to help and assist his brothers and sisters throughout his life, particularly till his age of 42. This can hinder his financial prosperity as he may not save much for himself and he may not accumulate valuable assets because the malefic effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh may channel a big percentage of his money to his brothers and sisters.
At the same time, if malefic Sun is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus and Mars is also placed along with it in the same house when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, this situation may become even worse. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may have to face troubles many times in his life due to his brothers and sisters. However he may not get much appreciation from them and the malefic effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh can create the opposite effect. The brothers and sisters of this native may become jealous of him and they may speak ill about him behind his back. Such brothers and sister may keep looking for chances to make this native feel small and some of them may even conspire against him. When such Kaal Sarp Yog is very strong and the running time is bad, the native under the collective influence of all these malefic planets may have to face a conspiracy planned by his brothers and sisters; and he may have to suffer a lot due to such conspiracy. This type of Kaal Sarp Dosh indicates a karmic debt towards brothers and sisters from past lives, which the native has to pay in this life and that is why he may have to suffer a lot due to his brothers and sisters.
The presence of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can also make the native spend a lot of time and money on account of religious rituals and traditions; and this can lead him to financial tightness. The native under the effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh may not want to spend a big amount of his hard earned money on such rituals and traditions, but he may have to do so under the pressure of his family, especially under the pressure of his parents. On the other hand, some natives having this type of Kaal Sarp Yog in their horoscope may altogether shun the religious and spiritual beliefs and they can engage in bad to very bad deeds which can bring defame or bad name to their families.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, malefic Ketu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, malefic Venus is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, malefic Jupiter is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo and malefic Mercury is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native may engage in criminal activities. The native under the combined effect of such Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may get interested in the life of crime and he may engage in various types of crimes in order to make money. His engagement in such crimes may not only bring problems for him, it may also bring bad name as well as other types of problems to his family, particularly to his father.
At the same time, if malefic debilitated Mars is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Rahu; and malefic Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius when all other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become much more negative. The native troubled by such Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may not only engage in criminal activities, he may also get addicted to some type of drug or other intoxicating substances. Such criminal activities as well as the addictions may trouble the native under the effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh with bad reputation, health problems and he may also have to serve a prison sentence by virtue of being convicted for a crime committed by him. If such Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog is very strong in the horoscope of this native and there is no strong grace saving planet in his horoscope, he may have to serve a long sentence in prison or he may die at a relatively young age by virtue of health problems caused due to regular use of harmful drugs. Many natives troubled by Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh may either keep suffering by doing too much for their families or they may make their families suffer a lot because of them, depending on their overall horoscopes.
Considering one more such possibility, some natives having Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in their horoscopes can forsake their families and responsibilities at a point of time in their lives and may seek refuge in some jungle, hill or some Aashram and they may start living the life of a lone man. I have personally witnessed this defect in the horoscopes of many people who left their families and ran away to some refuges; and then disconnected from the world for a period of time ranging from a few months to many years. However it should be noted that most natives running away from their families in search of spiritual growth due to the malefic impact of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh are not likely to find much spiritual advancement. The malefic impact of such Kaal Sarp Yog makes them wander from one place to another and in a matter of some years; all they have is not spiritual growth, but remorse and guilt. These natives realize in a matter of few years that they have made a mistake by leaving their families but it may get late by then. The presence of such Kaal Sarp Dosh in their horoscopes may keep them away from their families as well as from spiritual growth and they may only have to get through the rest of their lives, with their minds full of guilt and regrets.
Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can also trouble the native with problems related to profession due to which some natives under its impact may also suffer from various types of problems related to their professions. Such Kaal Sarp Dosh can delay the professional success of some natives due to which these natives may not witness significant professional success till late or very late in their lives depending on the strength of this defect and on the overall tone of their horoscopes. This type of Kaal Sarp Yog can trouble the natives with setbacks and losses through their professions from time to time, due to which they may not cross a level of success as they may fall down whenever they reach such level. In other words, the success of these natives may be restricted to a particular level and they may not go beyond that level despite their best efforts. This level may be different for different natives suffering from Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh and it depends on the strength of this defect as well as on the overall horoscopes of these natives.
However one thing is common among all these natives, which is the fact that none of them is able to achieve success according to their potentials; and all of them have to suffer from underperforming professional results due to such Kaal Sarp Yog. Since Pitra Dosh is also formed along with Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope, it means that the native may also have to face problems related to child birth and the well being of his children, as Pitra Dosh almost always indicates problems related to children. Hence the natives suffering from Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog may witness delay in the birth of their first child, they may have to undergo medical treatment in order to get some medical issues fixed, they may have to witness complications during the birth of their children, and some of them may have to witness aborted or dead children. The extreme types of results are experienced when such Kaal Sarp Dosh is very strong in a horoscope and it is supported by other malefic planets in the horoscope. It should also be noted that this type of Kaal Sarp Yog may affect female natives more than the male natives, when it comes to problems related to child birth.
For example, if in case of a female native, malefic Rahu is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, malefic Ketu is placed in the ninth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, malefic Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius and malefic Jupiter is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic Sun, the native may face such problems. The female native under the combined effect of such Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may suffer from health problems related to her reproductive organs and due to such problems, she may not be able to conceive and deliver at a proper age; and she may witness delay in the birth of her first child. Such female native suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Yog may also have to undergo prolonged medical treatment in order to fix her reproductive health and only then she may be able to conceive a child.
At the same time, if malefic Mercury is placed in the fifth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic Jupiter and Sun; and malefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius when all other planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the problem may aggravate. The female native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may face serious health problems related to her reproductive system and she may have to witness many abortions, miscarriages and other such problems. Though this female native may still deliver live children; the number of abortions, miscarriages and dead children suffered by her may be much bigger than the number of her live children, due to the malefic impact of such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets in her horoscope. This female native under the collective influence of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may also have to face serious health problems related to her reproductive system, especially after her age of 41; and she may have to get her uterus removed due to serious infections or even tumors in her uterus. Apart from this, Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog can trouble the natives under its impact with many other types of problems, depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives.
Vedic astrology is equipped with many remedies that can reduce the strength of Vasuki Kaal Sarp Dosh formed in a horoscope. These remedies include the application of gemstones, yantras, poojas and charities. Doing suitable remedies can certainly help reduce the strength of this defect and the native may witness better or much better results in the spheres of his life, which are affected by Vasuki Kaal Sarp Yog in his horoscope.
