Some Thoughts on the Kala Sarpa Yoga

[Guest guest]

All,

 

Someone asked about the Kala Sarpa Yoga; I just got

this email today. They ask:

 

> Dear list members,

> Can someone tell me which side of the Rahu/Ketu

> axis all the planets must stand on to be consisered

> kala sarpa yoga? Are there any other configurations

> which modify this yoga? Thanks.

> Sarva

The book, Light on Life, gives a very good discussion

concerning this little written about combination; so

to, does B.V. Raman's 300 Important Combinations. I

would kindly ask the sender of this email to please

refer to those sources; but, in the meantime, please

allow me to say this...

 

The KSY is formed, in the traditional sense, when all

of the planets are situated between Rahu and Ketu, in

that order; in other words, let's say that you have

Rahu in the 1st house, and Ketu in the 7th house; all

of the rest of the planets would have to be in a house

by itself, for this yoga to be formed. One of the

reasons why this yoga is said to be most

inasupicscious, is because, when all of the planets

are placed in this way, transiting Rahu and Ketu will

pass over each planet in constant sucession during the

native's life, causing, according to the traditions,

constant troubles.

 

Others say that this yoga can be formed when all of

the planets are between Ketu and Rahu, the logica

being that Ketu stings with its tail; and still others

say, that if a planet falls outside of the Rahu-Ketu

axis, even if they are in the same house, then KSY is

not formed; and finally, there are those that say,

that if all of the planets are placed in one or two

houses between the Rahu-Ketu axis, KSY is not formed.

As you can see, there is about as much confusion as to

what constitutes the formation of this combo, as the

Nodes themselves, who represent confusion and chaos.

 

Being a Jyotishi that firmly beleives in keeping

Jyotish in pace with the Times, I have gone out and

updated both the formation, and the meaning of this

yoga; in my view, as long as all of the planets are

between the Rahu-Ketu axis, on either side, forms KSY;

it doesn't matter whether one of the planets isn't

within the degree axis of Rahu-Ketu either; as long as

the planet, like all of the rest of the planets are

between Rahu and Ketu, then KSY, in view, is extant.

 

>From my intense study and observation of this

combination, I have concluded that the KSY suggests

compulsion and upheaval in terms of the house that the

Nodes inhabit, and can certainly be seen whenever the

planetary periods of either of the Nodes commences. I

have seen many, many, many charts featuring this yoga,

and have sen the above in operation and working.

 

AS with anything else in AStrology, ultimately in the

end, it's an Art, and as such, certain combos are

going to stronger than others, even though they maybe

the same; such is the case with the KSY. While I have

seen of the variations of the KSY manifest themes of

obsession, compulsion and upheaval, it will great vary

depending on the strength of the yoga and the

formation of it, as outlined above.

 

Going back to the book, Light on Life, in the Example

Charts Section, they break down the chart of writer

Anais Nin, who had, if I recall correctly, KSY. Her

obession with sex, relationships, and the like

certainly fall into the Profile that I have suggested

for the Kala Sarpa Yoga.

 

I hope this has answered some concerns about the KSY.

 

Peace,

Mu
