General Effects of Sheshnag Kaal Sarp Dosha
Sheshnag Kaal Sarp has Rahu in the 12th (foreign lands, expenses, spiritual liberation, losses) and Ketu in the 6th (enemies, debts, disease, service). This is the final type, completing the cycle.
Rahu in the 12th gives strong foreign connections. The native may settle abroad, spend heavily on foreign travel, or work in isolation (hospitals, ashrams, research labs). Sleep may be disturbed. Expenses tend to exceed plans.
Ketu in the 6th is actually strong - it gives victory over enemies without effort. Diseases resolve on their own or respond quickly to treatment. The native is naturally immune to competitive pressure. Debts are manageable.
