According to the prevalent definition of Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog, when in a horoscope, Rahu is placed in the second house, Ketu is placed in the eighth house and all the other planets are placed between the axis of Rahu and Ketu, Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in that horoscope. To simplify, if Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope, Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope and all other planets are placed from second to eighth house or from eighth to second house in this horoscope, Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog is said to be formed in the horoscope. This defect is also known as Kulik 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 Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog can cause when it actually forms in a horoscope.
The natives having Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh in their horoscopes can suffer from a wide variety of problems which in many cases start showing up very early in their lives. Some natives suffering from Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog are likely to face problems with their primary education which can be due to different reasons depending on the overall tone of the horoscopes of these natives. Some natives having this defect may be very weak at studies and accordingly their education may not be good whereas some other natives having this defect in their horoscopes may face problems with primary education due to some financial problems, some family problems or due to health related issues which may keep bothering these natives from time to time and hinder their progress in studies.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, malefic Saturn is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo and malefic debilitated Moon is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio, the native may face this problem. The native under the combined effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may not receive very good education due to various reasons and he may suffer due to lack of proper education. At the same time, if malefic Venus is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Scorpio along with malefic debilitated Moon; and malefic debilitated Mars is placed in the second house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Rahu when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses, the problem may intensify. The native suffering from the joint impact of such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may not have good financial support from his family and due to this reason; he may not study up to higher levels.
The collective malefic influence of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets can also disturb the concentration pattern of the native due to which he may not concentrate properly on his studies and hence he may not perform well at studies. Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog in this horoscope can also affect the financial equation of the native in a negative way and accordingly the native may not enjoy good financial equation till late in his life or throughout his life, depending on the overall horoscope.
The presence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope can also disturb the eating pattern of the native and the native may tend to eat foods which are not good for health due to which he may suffer from various types of health related problems later on. Such natives are also likely to use alcoholic drinks, smoking, drugs and other kinds of intoxications which can lead them towards health related issues and which at the same time can cause loss of wealth and reputation at times due to these bad habits. This is particularly seen true when this defect is very strong in a horoscope whereas in case of a mild or weak Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog, such extremes are usually avoided. But the presence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope is still very likely to disturb the eating and drinking habits of the native which can later cause health related problems and diseases. If such Kaal Sarp Yog is strong and it receives support from other malefic planets in a horoscope, it can afflict the native with extreme type of health issues.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra, malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries, malefic Sun is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo along with malefic debilitated Venus; and malefic Saturn is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may become a drug addict. The native under the combined effect of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may get addicted to a harmful drug or some other type of harmful substance and he may start consuming it on regular basis, which may impact his health in a bad way. At the same time, if malefic Mars is placed in the first house of this horoscope in the sign of Virgo along with malefic Sun and malefic debilitated Venus; and Moon is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Saturn, the situation may become more serious.
The native troubled by Kulik Kaal Sarp Yoga and other malefic planets may start consuming a potentially harmful drug on daily basis as well as in heavy quantities. As a result, he may not only witness the loss of his money and reputation, he may also come across various types of health problems. This native under the joint impact of such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may die at a young or a very young age by virtue of a drug overdose or by virtue of a fatal disease caused due to heavy consumption of harmful substances on regular basis. Apart from this, the presence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can trouble the native with many other types of health problems and diseases, depending on his overall horoscope.
The malefic influence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope can cause mild to serious accidents at different times in the life of the native. In case where such Kaal Sarp Yog is very strong, it is supported by other malefic planets and there is no strong life saving planet or planetary combination present in the horoscope of the native to balance this defect, the native can die in an accident when the running time is not favorable for the native. This defect can have an adverse effect on the overall lifespan of the native and unless supported by the presence of some other good yoga, such native is likely to have a comparatively shorter span of life than the average people.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Leo, malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius, malefic debilitated Jupiter is placed in the seventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, malefic Saturn is placed in the sixth house of this horoscope in the sign of Sagittarius and malefic Mercury is placed in the fourth house of this horoscope in the sign of Libra, the native may come across this problem. The native troubled by such Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may meet serious accidents or incidents of violence more than once in his life and he may suffer physical losses in such accidents or incidents. At the same time, if malefic Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aquarius along with malefic Ketu when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses of this horoscope, the problem may intensify. The native under the combined effect of such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may die at a relatively young age, in an accident or in an incident of violence, unless there is a strong life saving planet in his horoscope. Apart from this, the presence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh in a horoscope can trouble the native with physical problems in many other ways.
The influence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can also create problems related to marriage and married life of the native. Such Kaal Sarp Dosh can delay the marriages of some natives due to which these natives may not get married till late or very late in their lives, depending on their overall horoscopes. For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra, malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries along with malefic Jupiter; and malefic Venus is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini along with malefic Sun, the native may not get married on proper time. The native suffering from Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may not get married till his age of 35 and his marriage may get delayed on account of one reason or the other.
At the same time, if malefic Moon is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Aries along with malefic Ketu and Jupiter; and malefic Saturn is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses, the problem may aggravate. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may not get married till his age ranging from 36 to 42 and he may also have to come across one or more than one broken engagement.
Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog can also cause problems after the marriages of some natives, apart from delaying the marriages of some natives. Some natives under the malefic impact of this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may get married at early ages and their problems may start after marriages. The presence of a strong Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog in a horoscope can easily break one marriage of the native and if this defect is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, it can break two or more than two marriages of the native affected by it.
For example, if malefic Rahu is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Virgo, malefic Ketu is placed in the eighth house of this horoscope in the sign of Pisces, Mars is placed in the tenth house of this horoscope in the sign of Taurus, malefic Venus is placed in the eleventh house of this horoscope in the sign of Gemini along with malefic Jupiter; and malefic Saturn is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the native may face problems in his marriage. The native under the combined effect of such Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh and other malefic planets may fall in love with a girl at an early age and he may get married to her.
However he may face serious issues of understanding and trust soon after the marriage and these issues may eventually break his marriage. At the same time, if malefic Moon is placed in the twelfth house of this horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Saturn when all other malefic planets are placed in the already mentioned houses, the problem may aggravate. The native troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog and other malefic planets may have to face more than one broken marriage due to various types of problems in such marriages and he may only get settled in his third or fourth marriage.
Some other natives suffering from this type of Kaal Sarp Dosh may get married to people who may suffer from physical or mental health issues and these natives may not enjoy their marriages due to this reason. These natives troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog may have to spend a lot of money and time towards the treatment of diseases which may afflict their life partners; and such money and time may become bigger in quantum if this defect receives support from other malefic planets in the horoscopes of these natives. In an extreme case of its type when such Kaal Sarp Dosh is strong and it is supported by other malefic planets in a horoscope, the wife of the native under its impact may get physically handicapped or she may become mentally ill soon after the marriage, and the native may have to take care of his handicapped or mentally ill wife till the time of her death. Apart from this, Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog can cause many other types of problems before and after the marriages of the native under its impact.
The presence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh can also prove troublesome for the professions of the natives due to which these natives may face many types of problems related to their professions, depending on their overall horoscopes. Some natives troubled by such Kaal Sarp Yog may have to face financial losses and other types of setbacks through their professions and their professional growth may be slowed due to such setbacks and losses. These losses may become bigger with the addition of other negative planets to their horoscopes and the natives may have to suffer even more. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh present in a horoscope can afflict the native under its impact with such big financial losses through this profession, that he may have to shut down his business more than once in his life and he may also have to face serious financial crisis due to such losses.
Some other natives under the malefic influence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog may not be able to find well paying jobs despite their best efforts and they may only find low paying jobs, which may affect their financial equation in a negative way. In an extreme case of its type when supported by other malefic planets, strong Kulik Kaal Sarp Dosh present in a horoscope can make the native under its impact spend his entire life in want of money, primarily due to his inability to earn well from his profession. Apart from this, the malefic influence of Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog can trouble the natives under its impact with many other types of problems related to their professions, where the type of problems and the quantum of these problems are dependent on the overall horoscopes of these natives.
Vedic astrology is equipped with many remedies that can reduce the strength of Kulik 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 Kulik Kaal Sarp Yog in his horoscope.
