Ayana

Kaal Sarp check

Whether the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn all lie on one side of the Rāhu–Ketu axis — the traditional Kaal Sarp pattern — and, if so, which of its twelve named kinds.
Date of birth

As exact as you can — from a birth certificate if possible. A few minutes can change the rising sign.

Advanced settings (optional — the defaults suit most people)

Vedic astrology measures the zodiac from the fixed stars. Traditions place the starting point slightly differently (under 2°). Keep Lahiri unless you follow KP or Raman.

How the sky is divided into the 12 houses — the life areas like career, family and money.

Exact location

Only needed if your town isn't in the list. Leave the timezone blank to work it out from the coordinates (historical daylight saving is handled).

How it works

  1. 01Enter your birth date, time and place.
  2. 02The engine places all nine grahas and checks which side of the Rāhu–Ketu axis each of the seven falls on, by exact degree.
  3. 03See whether the pattern is there, which kind (from Rāhu's house), the partial case and the sign-based reading.

Questions about the kaal sarp check

What is Kaal Sarp dosha?

A traditional pattern: all seven classical planets (Sun to Saturn) on one side of the axis between Rāhu and Ketu, the Moon's nodes. Its twelve named kinds — Anant, Kulik, Vasuki and so on — come from the house Rāhu occupies from the rising sign.

How common is it?

Rarer than many sites suggest. On 20,000 random moments (1940–2020), all seven planets lie strictly between Rāhu and Ketu by exact degree in 7.3% — about 1 in 14. Counting by sign (the nodes' own signs included) gives 15.2%, and one planet across (partial) happens in about a quarter.

Why do other calculators say I have it when this doesn't?

Sources differ on the edges — counting by sign or by degree, and whether a planet in the same sign as a node counts. Ayana uses exact degrees, calls one planet across 'partial', and shows the sign-based reading next to it so you can see the difference.

Should I worry about it?

It is a traditional pattern, shown for information — not a prediction, and nothing about it needs buying. Ayana measures how common it is so you can see it in proportion.
