According to the prevalent definition of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog, when in a horoscope, Rahu is placed in the twelfth house, Ketu is placed in the sixth house and all the other planets are placed between the axis of Rahu and Ketu, Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in that horoscope. To simplify, if Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope, Ketu is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope and all other planets are placed from twelfth to sixth house or from sixth to twelfth house in this horoscope, Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in the horoscope. This defect is also known as Sheshnag 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 Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog can cause when it actually forms in a horoscope.
Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh can prove bad for the natives under its impact due to which the natives suffering from it may come across many types of problems related to their professions. Some natives under the malefic impact of such Kaal Sarp Yog may not find permanent professions and they may have to keep changing their jobs every now and then. These natives may also have to remain jobless between such job changes and these time periods of being jobless may prolong with the support of other malefic planets to such Kaal Sarp Dosh or as this defect gains more strength in the horoscopes of these natives. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can keep the native jobless for periods of more than two years, many times in his life, or such native may have to remain jobless for a continuous period of more than ten years, depending on his overall horoscope.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the twelfth house of a horoscope in the sign of Gemini, malefic Ketu is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius, malefic Saturn is placed in the third house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo, malefic Jupiter is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra and malefic Mars is placed along with it in the same house, the native may not find permanent profession. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may not be able to obtain a permanent profession and he may have to change his jobs or professions, many times in his life, due to various reasons. The combined effect of such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets can also keep this native jobless for periods of more than six months between such job changes and he may have to witness financial problems due to not earning regularly from his profession.
At the same time, if malefic Moon is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius along with malefic Ketu; and malefic Mercury is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the equation may become worse. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may have to remain jobless for many years of his life and he may especially remain jobless for a continuous period of more than five years after his age of 41. The combined effect of such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may discourage the native so much, that he may willing choose not to engage in any profession, anytime after his age of 41, if this defect is strong in the horoscope of this native. Such native may choose not to engage in any profession for at least five years, or even for ten years and he may only start thinking about a job, after his age of 50. The collective influence of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets in this horoscope can also trouble this native with financial problems and he may have to remain under financial debts for a long period of time.
Some natives troubled by Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may suffer from financial losses through their professions and such losses may hinder their professional growth. Such losses may become bigger with the addition of other negative planets to the horoscopes of these natives or if such Kaal Sarp Dosh achieves more strength in their horoscopes. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can afflict the native with very big financial losses through this profession, many times in his life due to which he may have to shut down or sell out his business more than once in his life. Such native troubled by Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may not cross a level of professional success, as he may face big financial losses whenever he gets close to such level.
The presence of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can restrict the professional success of the native to certain limits, and the native may not go beyond such limits, despite his best efforts. For instance, if such Kaal Sarp Dosh restricts a native to a maximum professional income of USD 2000 per month, this is what may happen to this native. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog may start a business and he may start earning USD 1000 per month from it. The native may put in more effort and with the passage of time, he may reach closer to earning USD 2000 per month. As soon as this native reaches this limit, he may face sudden losses and setbacks in his business due to which he may return to a monthly income of USD 1000 or even less.
If such Kaal Sarp Dosh is strong and supported by other malefic planets, this native may have to shut down his business due to big financial losses and he may have to start from a scratch. This may keep happening to the native till his age of 48 or for his entire life due to the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog; and he may not be able to cross a specific barrier of professional success, despite his best efforts. Such barrier may be different for different natives depending on the strength of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh in their horoscopes, as well as depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes.
The malefic influence of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog can bend some natives towards criminal activities and if the overall horoscopes of these natives are also negative, they may become professional criminals and they may have to pay for the crimes committed by them. Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh has a significant tendency to trouble the natives under its impact with prison sentences, if such natives choose to be criminals under its impact. As a result, some natives suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Yog may go to prisons many times in their lives for periods ranging from 3 months to a couple of years, whereas some other natives of this type may face prison sentences of more than 5 years, at least once in their lives. In an extreme case of its type when such Kaal Sarp Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type, the native under its impact may have to spend more than ten years in prison, by virtue of being convicted for a serious type of crime.
It should be noted that unlike the natives suffering from Ghatak Kaal Sarp Yog or those suffering from Vishakt Kaal Sarp Dosh, the natives under the impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may not even have much initial luck while engaging in crimes, unless there are some other planets which support success through crimes, in the horoscopes of these natives. It means that the natives under the impact of Ghatak Kaal Sarp Dosh as well as the natives suffering from Vishakt Kaal Sarp Yog may come across good amount of money and resources through the life of crime for a considerable period of time, before they may finally get caught and punished for the crimes committed by them. On the other hand, the natives troubled by Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh may be very unlucky when it comes to benefit through crimes; and they may get caught soon after their engagement in crimes.
Another interesting fact about the natives turning criminals under the impact of these three types of Kaal Sarp Yogas is that, the natives under the impact of Ghatak and Vishakt Kaal Sarp Dosh may grow in the field of crime and they may become the heads of various types of criminal organizations or they may achieve high positions in such criminal organizations, whereas the natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog are likely to serve at the bottom of criminal organizations or they may independently engage in crimes, which may not benefit them much, in terms of finances. For example, a native under the impact of Ghatak Kaal Sarp Dosh may become the head of a criminal organization which may deal in violent type of crimes, another native under the impact of Vishakt Kaal Sarp Yog may become the head of a criminal organization which may deal in smuggling type of activities; and a native under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh may become a paid criminal working under any one of the two natives of the already mentioned type, depending on his overall horoscope.
In other words, Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog is not likely to let the native under its impact enjoy the status of the boss of a criminal organization before he gets caught, whereas the other two types of Kaal Sarp Doshas can do so. Hence the natives turning criminals under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may be some of the unluckiest types of criminals. These natives may not earn much from the crimes committed by them; and they may get caught soon. The natives under the impact of Ghatak and Vishakt Kaal Sarp Dosh are likely to use these natives as scapegoats who may work for them and who may get caught and get punished while the natives of the other two types may stay away from the reach of law and they may find other such scapegoats.
Even if the natives under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog choose to engage in crimes on their own, they are not likely to engage in crimes which are highly rewarding in terms of finances. For example, some natives troubled by this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may become thieves, some of them may become pick pockets, some of them may rob people in streets for small amounts of money and valuables; some of them may sell drugs on the streets for small profits, some other such natives may deceive other people for small amounts of money; and some of these natives may engage in other such types of crimes. It can be easily understood that all the crimes mentioned here don’t reward these criminals with much money and at the same time, these natives are likely to get caught sooner, as they are directly engaging in public type of crimes, instead of some other types of criminals who may either be the bosses of these natives or who may engage in hidden types of crimes. To summarize, the natives troubled by Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog are easily some of the unluckiest types of criminals who may frequently get caught and who may keep going to prisons every now and then.
The presence of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh can also prove bad for the marriages of the natives under its impact due to which these natives may come across many types of problems related to their marriages. Such Kaal Sarp Yog may delay the marriages of some natives due to which these natives may not get married till late in their lives; and such delay may prolong with the addition of other marriage delaying planets to the horoscopes of these natives. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh present in a horoscope can delay the marriage of the native till his age of 41 or such native may not get married throughout his life.
Some other natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may get married on time but they may have to face many types of problems in their marriages. This type of Kaal Sarp Dosh has a significant tendency to get the natives under its impact involved in extramarital affairs which can disturb or even destroy their marriages. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can break more than one marriage of the native; and the primary cause for the failure of these marriages may be the involvement of the native in extramarital affairs. It is interesting to note here that some natives under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh may themselves choose to break their marriages. These natives may engage in extramarital affairs, they may think that the persons having affairs with them are better options as life partners, they may seek divorces from their spouses; and they may get married to their lovers.
Some other natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may have to stay away from their wives as well as from their children for long periods of time, due to various reasons which may be positive or negative depending on their overall horoscopes. For instance, a native under the impact of such Kaal Sarp Dosh may stay away from his family as his job may require him to stay abroad while his family remains in his own country, if his overall horoscope is positive. Similarly another native suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Yog and having an overall positive horoscope may become an army officer and he may stay away from his family on account of his postings which may be far away from home.
On the other hand, a native suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh and having an overall negative horoscope may receive a long prison sentence by virtue of a crime committed by him and he may have to stay away from his family due to this reason. Another native having Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog as well as having an overall negative horoscope may run away from his family in order to seek spiritual retreat, but he may neither find spiritual growth, nor the love of his family. Similarly some other natives of this type may stay away from their families for other positive or negative reasons, depending on the overall tone of their horoscopes, due to the malefic impact of this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh.
Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog can also trouble the natives under its impact with health related problems due to which these natives may come across many types of health issues and diseases, depending on their overall horoscopes. Such problems may intensify and convert into permanent and serious types of diseases, if such Kaal Sarp Dosh is strong and supported by other malefic planets in the horoscopes of these natives. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can afflict the native under its impact with a fatal disease which may trouble him a lot and which may claim his life at a relatively young age.
The natives under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh are also prone to get addicted to intoxicating substances which may be harmful and these natives may have to pay the prices for such addictions. Some natives troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog may get addicted to harmful drugs and they may start consuming them on regular basis, which may have adverse impact on their health. Such addictions as well as such health problems may intensify, if this Kaal Sarp Dosh receives support from other malefic planets or if it gets stronger in the horoscopes of these natives; and accordingly they may suffer more. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets; strong Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can make the native consume harmful drugs in heavy quantities and he may die at a young age; either due to drug overdose or due to serious health conditions caused by such harmful drugs. The natives under the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh should keep their addictions under check, as they may have to pay heavy prices for such additions.
Speaking of addictions, some natives having Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog may get addicted to the company of paid sex workers and they may waste a lot of time, money and health towards this addiction. The malefic impact of such Kaal Sarp Dosh may trouble these natives with insatiable sexual appetites due to which, their wives or even some other women may simply not be enough for them; and they may wish to engage in sexual relations with more and more women. If the overall horoscopes of these natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog are supported by a specific type of planets, the male natives under its impact may become paid sex workers, they may act in porn movies or they may earn money by acting as brokers for other sex workers.
Similarly the female natives under the impact of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and having a specific type of planets in their horoscopes may make money through the field of prostitution, they may earn by acting in porn movies or they may act as brokers for other natives, who may be sex workers. On the other hand, the male natives having strong sexual appetites due to this type of Kaal Sarp Yog and having overall negative horoscopes may excessively engage in the company of paid sex workers and they may waste great deal of money towards these addictions. The female natives of the same type may also seek the company of paid sex workers in order to satisfy their strong sexual desires, though they are more likely to have extramarital affairs in order to meet their strong sexual needs.
However it should be noted that whether these natives have money making horoscopes or money spending horoscopes, through sexual acts; they are prone to suffer from health problems in the long run, due to the malefic impact of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh. These natives may suffer from many types of sexually transmitted diseases from time to time, which may not be fatal in most cases but which may trouble them a lot. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog present in a horoscope can get the native afflicted with a sexually transmitted as well as a fatal disease like HIV, and he may die at a young age. For this reason, the natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh should not only keep their sexual urges under check, they should also take all the necessary precautions while engaging in sexual acts, so that they may save themselves from sexually transmitted diseases.
Financial problems may also be seen troubling some natives under the impact of this type of Kaal Sarp Yog. Some natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh may face financial tightness as well as financial debts many times in their lives and in some cases, the natives under the strong influence of this defect may remain under heavy debts for most of their lives, starting from their young ages and lasting till the last days of their lives. In some cases, no matter how wisely the natives may try to manage and organize their expenses, they may be beyond their control as some unwanted and unavoidable expenses may keep appearing in front of these natives; and they may have to take loans in order to meet those expenses.
I have observed that in cases of some natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog, a big part of their earned and borrowed money is spent either towards the treatment of some diseases afflicting these native or some of their family members; or towards settling some disputes and litigations which these natives may have to face from time to time. Some natives suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may waste their money due to habits like gambling, betting, womanizing and other such habits, which may form heavy financial debts on them and such financial debts may grow stronger and stronger with the increasing age of these natives. In extreme cases when strong Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog is supported by other malefic planets, the natives under its impact may run away from their places of residence and they may migrate to other cities, states or even to other countries in order to avoid the people who keep troubling them for the money that these natives had borrowed from these people.
Gambling is another habit which can do serious damages and bring very serious troubles to the natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosh, as these natives are prone to lose money and wealth through various forms of gambling. Some natives having this defect in their horoscopes may engage in the habit of gambling which may bring serious financial losses to them and they may have to suffer a lot. In an extreme case of its type when such Kaal Sarp Yog is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets of a specific type, the native under its impact may lose all his money as well as wealth through gambling; and he may also come under heavy financial debts. Such native may either run away from his city or state as he may find himself unable to pay such debts; or he may commit suicide, troubled by the people bothering and threatening him for their money. Whether such native runs away or he commits suicide; is dependent on the overall tone of his horoscope, as well as on the running time.
It is interested to note that unlike the natives suffering from Vishakt Kaal Sarp Dosh who are likely to see some initial gains in gambling before losing out finally, the natives suffering from Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog are likely to lose in gambling or betting right from the start and such natives are rarely seen winning in gambling or betting. Some natives suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may lose fortunes in gambling, which may include their parental houses and other movable and immovable properties. Therefore the natives born with Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog should try and avoid all kinds of gambling so that they may save themselves from troubles.
Vedic astrology is equipped with many remedies that can reduce the strength of Sheshnag 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 Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Yog in his horoscope.
