Kala means time and Bhairav means fearful so Kalabhairav is the one that controls/rules the great time also known as Maha Kaal. In trika system Bhairav is the supreme reality or the Para Brahman. Lord Bhairava protects his devotees from enemies such as greed, jealousy, lust, anger, delusion, etc (6th house issues).
Worshipping Kalabhairav is one of the best remedies for Shani and Rahu.
