According to Astrology, what is the mystery behind this?
Kala Sarpa Yoga is formed when all the planets lie on one side of the nodal axis (Rahu-Ketu axis) in the horoscope.
However, classical Hindu astrological treatise such as Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, Jataka Parijata, Uttara Kalamrita etc., did not mention this yoga (Kala Sarpa Ch. 1. Absence of references in Shastra; p16-21).
Even modern masters like B. V. Raman and K.N. Rao also dismissed its role in natal chart analysis.
The widespread belief in Kala Sarpa Yoga is really unfortunate.
Example of a chart with Kalasarpa Yoga (East Indian chart style):
Notice that five consecutive houses on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis are empty.
