General Effects of Anant Kaal Sarp Dosha
Anant Kaal Sarp forms when Rahu sits in the 1st house (Lagna) and Ketu in the 7th house, with all other planets between them. The 1st house governs identity, health, and physical body. Rahu here creates an obsessive drive for personal recognition, sometimes at the cost of relationships.
The 7th house Ketu detaches the native from conventional partnership. Marriage may be delayed, or the spouse may be spiritually inclined or emotionally distant. The native often feels torn between self-interest and partnership obligations.
Career is usually strong because Rahu in the 1st gives ambition and public presence. But personal happiness suffers. Health issues related to the head, brain, and nervous system are common when Rahu is afflicted.
