Kala Sarpa Yoga – India

Conclusion (For detailed astrological analysis read the analysis section):

In the Dec 2021 chart Kala Sarpa Yoga is formed, where Rahu is in 6^th house and Ketu is in the 12^th house and it goes by the name as Mahapadam kala sarpa yoga. Rahu in the 6^th house signifies diseases, epidemics, riots, unrest, etc. The Army, Military and Police will have upper hand in dealing with the situation. The Ketu in the 12^th house signifies secret activities by our hidden enemies, foreign spies, losses, expenditure, etc.

Another notable feature of the above chart is that the Rahu and Ketu is close to Asc degree of India Independence chart. The Ketu, and Mars are in trine to the Moon in the 3^rd house of India Independence chart. Hence the 7^th house, the 3^rd house and the lord of 3^rd house of the India chart are heavily afflicted. So, there can be war/war-like situation with our neighbouring countries. The 3^rd house signifies all forms of communications like road, rail, air, etc. We can expect accidents in these sectors.

The kala sarpa yoga gets broken in the month of April 2022. So, we can expect the above events during 2021/2022 or especially till April 2022.

Analysis:

Kala Sarpa yoga, a much hyped yoga in astrology is a tool in the hands of astrologers to fleece his clients. Kala Sarpa yoga is not mentioned in any of the astrology classical texts. However, the presence of planets between Rahu/Ketu gives its effects depending upon in which house the Rahu and Ketu are placed from the Ascendant/Lagna. Kala Sarpa yoga is formed when all the planets are found on one side of the Rahu/Ketu axis. We will see how the Kala Sarpa yoga in the past has affected India’s fortunes and also see how the next Kala sarpa yoga which is due to be formed in 2021/22 is going to affect India. While doing this analysis, I have taken only that Kala Sarpa yoga formed by Rahu in Taurus and Ketu in Scorpio. This is because, in the India chart the Rahu/Ketu is formed in the Taurus/Scorpio axis.

There are 12 types of Kala Sarpa yogas in astrology. Ananta (Rahu in 1^st/Ketu in 7^th), Kulik (Rahu in 2^nd/Ketu in 8^th), Vasuki (Rahu in 3^rd/Ketu in 9^th), Shankapaal (Rahu in 4^th/Ketu in 10^th), Padam (Rahu in 5^th/Ketu in 11^th), Mahapadam (Rahu in 6^th/Ketu in 12^th), Takshak (Rahu in 7^th/Ketu in 1^st), Karkotak (Rahu in 8^th/Ketu in 2^nd), Shankachood (Rahu in 9^th/Ketu in 3^rd), Ghatak (Rahu in 10^th/Ketu in 4^th), Vishadhar (Rahu in 11^th/Ketu in 5^th) and Seshnaag (Rahu in 12^th/Ketu in 6^th). We will analyse the Kala sarpa yoga beginning from India Independence chart of 1947. India got independence on August 15, 1947 at midnight. The chart is erected for Delhi. The chart given below has Kala sarpa yoga where all the planets are found between Rahu Ketu axis and Rahu is in the 1^st house and Ketu is in the 7^th house.

When Rahu is in 1^st and Ketu is in 7^th, its known as Anantha Kala sarpa yoga. When Rahu is in the 1^st house it gives lot of struggles and country is able to make progress through self-efforts. The country’s future is full of struggles. There will be problems related to health of people, epidemic/pandemic, etc. The presence of Ketu in the 7^th house will result in bad relationship with its foreign allies, difficulties in trade, etc. In addition to the position of Rahu and Ketu, analysis also should be done with respect to Ascendant lord, dispositor of Rahu, and dispositor of Ketu. In the above chart, Ascendant lord is Venus and it is in the 3^rd house. The 3^rd house is under heavy affliction. The 3^rd house signifies neighbouring countries. The 3^rd house lord Moon is under affliction from Ketu in the 7^th house. This is the reason why we have never been able to have good neighbours. India will face problems from our neighbours and this will never be resolved. The dispositor of Ketu is Mars is in close to Asc degree and also in the star of Rahu. Mars is also close to the degrees of Rahu/Ketu. Now, let us take the next Kala sarpa yoga was formed when Rahu was in Taurus and Ketu was in Scorpio. It was on November 7, 1983 at 19.21 IST at Delhi. The chart is given below.

In the above chart too, the Rahu is in the 1^st house and Ketu is in the 7^th house. The results as stated above for the 1947 Independence chart is applicable for the above chart also. In the above chart, we can see the 3^rd lord Moon (debilitated) was conjunct Ketu and also aspected by Saturn and Mars. The Asc lord Venus is debilitated and in papa-kartari yoga between Saturn and Mars. It is also aspected by Rahu. The sign Scorpio where Ketu is placed is close to the 7^th house cuspal degree. Ketu is also aspected by Mars and Saturn. The malefic combinations to the 7^th house are very evident. If we analyse the events of 1983 and events in the succeeding year, we saw the assassination of Indira Gandhi, Operation Blue star, Operation Meghdoot, Storming of Golden Temple Amritsar by Indian troops, etc.   We will see the next Kala Sarpa yoga formed that was on July 8, 2002 at 7:19 IST at Delhi.

The Asc rising was Cancer, whose lord Moon is under heavy affliction with conjunction of Rahu and Saturn. It is infact in papa-kartari yoga. The Asc is also under heavy affliction with conjunction of Mars and aspect of Ketu and Saturn. We witnessed major and an unforgettable Gujarat riots which began from February 2002. Gujarat went through tough times during this year. There were many other events which took place in the year 2002.

The next Kala Sarpa yoga forms on December 14, 2021 at 8:02 IST at Delhi. The chart is given below. The main difference between the India Independence chart and this Kala sarpa yoga chart, is that the planets are in the opposite side of the Rahu/Ketu (i.e. between Scorpio to Taurus) as compared to the India chart. The Kala Sarpa yoga formed in 1983 and 2002 were in the same side as India chart (i.e. between Taurus to Scorpio).

The Asc rising is Sagittarius and its lord Jupiter is in Aquarius. It is in square to Rahu/Ketu. It is also aspected by Mars, which is very close to Ketu from the 12^th house. So, the Asc lord is under heavy affliction. The Rahu in 6^th house and Ketu in the 12^th house is called as Mahapadam kala sarpa yoga. Rahu in the 6^th house signifies diseases, epidemics, riots, unrest, etc. The Army, Military and Police will have upper hand in dealing with the situation. The Ketu in the 12^th house signifies secret activities by our hidden enemies, foreign spies, losses, expenditure, etc. One feature which is very evident is that all the planets are very close to the degrees of Rahu/Ketu within the orb of +(-) 4 degrees (except Saturn and Sun). Another notable feature of the above chart is that the Rahu and Ketu is close to the Asc degree of India Independence chart. The Ketu, and Mars are in trine to the Moon in the 3^rd house of India Independence chart. Hence the 7^th house, the 3^rd house and the lord of 3^rd house of the India chart are heavily afflicted. So, there can be war/war-like situation with our neighbouring countries. The 3^rd house signifies all forms of communications like road, rail, air, etc. We can expect accidents in these sectors. The kala sarpa yoga gets broken in the month of April 2022. So, we can expect the above events during 2021/2022 or especially till April 2022.
