Every graha stands on one side of the Rahu–Ketu line: what is now called Kaal Sarp yoga, named by Rahu's house — Anant (1st), Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachud, Ghatak, Vishdhar, Sheshnag (12th). It is a modern pattern, not an ancient one. It points to effort that bears fruit late and a life that turns on the houses of Rahu and Ketu. Treat it as a reason for patience and for Naga or Shiva puja, not as a verdict. Budh (Mercury) is the graha that best steadies Rahu.
