What is Kaal Sarp dosh?
Kaal Sarp dosh is formed when the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn all sit on one side of the axis between Rahu and Ketu. There are 12 types, named after the house Rahu occupies, from Anant in the 1st to Sheshnag in the 12th.
How much does it matter?
Astrologers weigh Kaal Sarp dosh together with the rest of the chart: the strength of the lagna lord, the dashas and the houses involved. A chart with this pattern can still be a very strong one.
