Kala Sarpa, “the serpent of time,” is an astrological pattern wherein all of the planets occupy half of the chart as defined by the axis of the moon’s nodes, Rahu and Ketu. Although one in eight people have Kala Sarpa in their charts, few know whether it constitutes a yoga, a sign of power and fortune, or a dosha, an inherent flaw that may irrevocably spoil a life. Because it isn’t discussed in any of the classic shastras of Jyotisha, the Kala Sarpa pattern is poorly understood by clients and astrologers alike. But now, for the first time in a book, the author makes available many key elements of interpretation that were previously only part of India’s rich oral tradition.
