Again the Kaal Sarp Dosha can broadly be classified as those of 2 Types as follows :
1. Ascending Kaal Sarp Dosha :- 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 Dosha :- When all the seven planets are between Ketu and Rahu ie. they are on the back side of Rahu then Descending Kaal Sarp Dosha is formed.
A Kaal Sarp Dosha is known as a Purna Kaal Sarp Dosha 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 Dosha. A Purna Kaal Sarp Dosha is more dangerous and harmful as compared to a Partial Kaal Sarp Dosha.
