A Kaal Sarp Yoga is formed in a horoscope when all the seven planets, i.e. Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are placed in between the Rahu and Ketu. This is supposed to be a very bad Yoga as per astrology and if someone is having such a Kaal Sarp Yoga in his/her horoscope it call for a perfect and accurate remedial measure to be taken otherwise the native suffers throughout the life. All his progress is hindered, big opportunities lost and even the family of such a person suffers due to this Kaal Sarp Dosha in his/her horoscope
Kaal Sarp Dosha are of 12 types depending upon the situation of Rahu and Ketu in various houses of the horoscope. They are as follows :-
| 1 | ANANT Kaal Sarp Dosha | Rahu is in the 1st House of the horoscope and Ketu in the 7th House |
| 2 | KULIK Kaal Sarp Dosha | Rahu is in the 2nd House of the horoscope and Ketu in the 8th House |

| 4 | SHANKHPAL Kaal Sarp Dosha | Rahu is in the 4th House of the horoscope and Ketu in the 10th House |

Again the Kaal Sarp Yoga can broadly be classified as those of 2 Types as follows :
1. Ascending Kaal Sarp Yoga :- When all the seven planets are eaten away by Rahu i.e.they are between Rahu as Head and Ketu as tail.
2. Descending Kaal Sarp Yoga :- When all the seven planets are between Ketu and Rahu ie. they are on the back side of Rahu then Descending Kaal Sarp Yoga is formed.
A Kaal Sarp Yoga is known as a PURNA KAAL SARP YOGA when all the seven planets are between Rahu and Ketu. However if one of the planets escapes out of this Rahu Ketu axis or is present in this axis itself then it is known as a PARTIAL KAAL SARP YOGA. A Purna Kaal Sarp Yoga is more dangerous and harmful as compared to a Partial Kaal Sarp Yoga.
