The KaalSarp Dosh

What is Kaalsarp?

When all the planets are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu i.e., the moon's north node

 and the moon's south node Kaalsarp Yoga is formed. Complete Kaalsarp yoga is formed only when half of the chart is unoccupied by planets. Even if one planet is outside the

 Rahu Ketu Axis there is no Kaalsarp Yoga. 

Before you do any remedies for the Kaalsarp Yoga make sure that all planets are between Rahu and Ketu. Even if there is one planet outside the Rahu Ketu axis the Kaalsarp Yoga does not exist. do not confuse Kaalsarp yoga with Nag/Naga Dosha or Karaka Dosha.
If all the 7 planets are situated between Rahu and Ketu then Kaal Sarp Yog is formed. Therefore it is essential that such natives should arrange for remedy of Kaal Sarp Yog so that lucky planets of the horoscope could render favorable results.

Finding lost objects with the help of numerology.

Every action you take and every observation you make, whether consciously, or distractedly, is permanently stored somewhere in your subconscious.

When a car passes by while you are talking to someone, the car may take up no more than a blur in your peripheral vision. Yet, it is recorded and stored permanently. It happened, your eye caught it and sent the information to the brain, and there it leaves an imprint. This is the case whether you have a good memory or not. Your ability to retrieve such information is another matter entirely.

In theory, it is possible to remember at a much later date, the license-plate number of the
aforementioned car. In fact, this kind of thing is commonly achieved with the help of hypnosis.

Numerology can help you to take advantage of the vast storage room of information your
subconscious contains by offering you a unique retrieval system.
Let's say, you have lost a ring. The only thing you know for sure is that you were there when you last had the ring in your possession.
Perhaps it fell out of your pocket, which caused a barely noticeable decrease in weight, or made a quiet "ploink" when it hit the carpet and rolled under the couch.
Or you put it somewhere and forgot it. Whatever happened, you do not discover the loss of your ring until several days later.
The moment you lost the ring, however, is stored in your subconscious.
The way to tap into that source is by exercising your subconscious.

How to Find Your Lost Object Number.
Concentrate on the lost object, then scribble a nine-digit number on a piece of paper.
Add the nine digits together, but do not reduce them to a single digit.

These are Vakri (retrogression), Anuvakr (entering the previous Rasi in  retrograde motion), Vikal (devoid of motion), Mand (somewhat slower motion than usual), Mandatar (slower than the previous), Sama (somewhat increasing in motion), Char (faster than Sama) and Atichar (entering next Rasi in accelerated motion). The strengths, allotted due to such 8 motions are 60, 30, 15, 30, 15, 7.5, 45 and 30.

5. Naisargik Bal (natural): This strength is calculated according to a planet’s light reaching the earth. It is fixed and same for all charts. The natural power in decreasing order is Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn.

6. Drik Bal (aspectual): The power acquired by planets due to being aspected by other planets which are behind them. The aspectual strength is maximum when planets are at 180 degree from each other. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn also have special aspectual powers. Reduce one fourth of the Drishti Pinda, if a planet receives malefic  aspect and add a fourth, if it receives a Drishti from a benefic.

Apart from these six types of strengths there are also Bhav Bal (House), Rashmi Bal (Light), Isht and Kasht Bals.
