Kaal Sarpa Dosh/yog is formed when all the seven planets get jammed between the shades of Rahu and Ketu. It means all 7 planets are positioned between 180 degree, literally leaving the other half empty. Rahu is the snake's head and Ketu is the snake’s tail. If planets are moving towards Rahu, it’s called Kaal Sarpa Dosh and if they’re bound towards Ketu, it’s termed as Kaal Sarpa Yog. The presence of this Kaal sarpa Dosh/ Yog is very harmful.
