LAL KITAB

Red Book and Astrology

Lal Kitab and Astrology

Lal Kitab and astrology differ on one major basis that is the kundli prepared and the postion of planets in both the kundli. Lal Kitab do not consider the planet is in which house number rather than it consider in which house it is positioned. One peculiarity of Lal Kitab is that the Rasis are not taken into account. The numbers of Rasis which are taken to be identical with house numbers are only important.

The difference between Lal Kitab and Astrology

a) While the conventional Hindu school of astrology is based on many voluminous works by our rishis and munis; the Lal Kitaab is a single treatise written in old Urdu , with no mention of authorship. There are many theories on the reasons behind the author choosing to stay anonymous. The most popular of these theories being that perhaps due to Divine instruction, the author was not interested in taking credit for the work.

Coming back to astrology, the most famous and perhaps the most respected of the works it is based on is the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra , written by the great sage Maharishi Parashara. In view of this, the conventional Hindu school of astrology is frequently and justifiably referred to as the Parashari system of astrology.

b) The Parashari system is one of pure astrology and refrains from even mentioning other methods of divination (foretelling) such as numerology and palmistry. This could be understood in light of the fact that astrology, palmistry and numerology have progressed in Indian sub-continent as independent, unrelated and hence competitive sciences.

In contrast, the Lal Kitaab is a treatise on astro-palmistry; astrology and palmistry complement and supplement each other instead of competing and deleting each other.

For example, in Lal Kitaab , if the sun is in the second house of a native’s horoscope, he must possess a certain kind of sun-line in his palm. Since the hand is always available, the horoscope can be verified and even cast on the basis of the hand’s print, called a palmoscope, for brevity.

c) In Parashar Hora, the determining inputs for prediction are the the birth chart, the influencing periods or dasas as they are called and the transit movement of planets called the gochar. Indian astrology is unique in having the dasa system, the most popular of them being the Vimsottari dasa system.

The Lal Kitaab refers only to the birth chart, and its own unique number chart to cast the Lal Kitaab varshphal (literally means yearly fruit) or yearly chart of the native. Predictions are made on the basis of the birth and the yearly chart cast. Needless to mention, Lal Kitab does not believe in the dasas and the gochar.

d) While in the Parashari method, the Sun is regarded as the king of all planets and hence the most important factor in the horoscope, in the Lal Kitaab , Jupiter or Deva Guru Bhrispati (the preceptor of all gods, including the Sun ) is given the supreme status.

e) Interpretations of placement of planets in rashis and houses vary greatly in both. For example Jupiter in Cancer in the first house is regarded as excellent by Parashar pundits while the Lal Kitab considers this placement as average.

Instead the best house for Jupiter is second and not the first, and Cancer is not the best sign for it. Similarly Pisces for moon is bad and Scorpio for moon is good in Lal Kitab ; the last part will amaze many because in Parashari school moon is debilitated in Scorpio.

How to create a Horoscope Chart as per Lal Kitab Methodology

The horoscope chart for the Lal-Kitab astrology can be derived from the vedic horoscope charts. The vedic horoscope contains the twelve houses and the location of the planets in to different houses. Each house is also assigned a number that represents the zodiac sign. It represents the position of planet in a particular zodiac sign at the time of native’s birth. The example of the vedic horoscope chart is shown below.

The first house is called the “lagna” and the zodiac sign in the first house will be called its lagna sign. So the total twelve lagans will be possible in vedic astrology. Here in above example the lagna is Scorpio as the number 8 is written inside the first house.

The Lal-Kitab astrology does not give weight to the lagna. It assumes that all the native in the World will have one lagna only and that is “Aries”. So to create a horoscope as per the lal-Kitab astrology, remove all the numbers from the vedic horoscope chart as shown below.

Now re-number each house starting from the first house as shown below.

The lagna will be "Aries" for all the natives as per the Lal Kitab astrology. Now the horoscope chart is ready for the analysis as per the Lal-Kitab methodology.

Uses of Lal Kitab

You may follows the given remedies if your kundali is created on the basis of laal kitaab principles.

The first rule of Lal kitab is to destroy all the malefic planets of the kundali.
The second remedy of lal kitab is to keep the effects of planets away from the native.
According to the third remedy, the malefic effects of inauspicious planets are converted into auspicious one rather than destroying it.
As per the fourth and fifth remedy, a benefic planet may also be established in the place of malefic one.
In the fifth remedy, an auspicious planet is established to get rid of the conflicts between inauspicious planets.
In the sixth remedy, an inauspicious planet itself should be converted into an auspicious one.

These remedeis can be found in other system of astrology also other than Lal kitab. But, Lal kitab remedies must be followed according to the rules given in the lal kitab.

Remedies performed according to the principles of Lal kitab can give results equivalent to amrit (holy water). But, they can give opposite results (equivalent to a poison) if you are performing lal kitab remedies for a kundali based on other system of astrology.

Different Kinds of Lal Kitab Horoscope

Lal Kitab Horoscope - Lal Kitab Kundali Types

Andhi Kundali

According to Laal Kitaab, some horoscopes or Kundalis are known as Andhi Kundali. If a birth chart contains more than two enemy planets in the 10th house, the horoscope is known as Andhi Kundali.

Aspects of planets in Lal Kitab

There are specific principles for planetary aspects in Laal kitaab. With the help of these principles the effects of planets can be understood in detail. In Vedic astrology, the planetary aspects are considered, rather the the aspects of concerned houses. But, Laal kitaab works on its own rules and principles. Here, the aspects of the houses are taken into consideration. For example: the first house completely aspects the seventh house of the kundali.

The houses that fully aspects each other are ascendant-seventh and fourth-fifth.
The houses that partially aspect each other are fifth-ninth and third-eleventh.
The houses that have 1/4th aspect are eighth-sixth and two-twelfth.
The first house completely aspect the seventh house.
The fourth house completely aspect the tenth house.

Saturn in the sixth house also affects the second house.

Other facts

Mutual help

In the Lal Kitab Kundali of mutual help, each planet will help the planet which is placed in the fifth house from it, whether they have enmity or friendship.

Foundation Kundali (Buniyad kundli)

Planet which is placed in the ninth house from a planet will be known as its Buniyadi planet. In a Laal Kitaab kundali, if Sun is in the ascendant and Saturn in the ninth house then Saturn will be considered as the buniyaad of Sun. Both the planets will completely support each other and share friendly relationship.

Common condition

Planets aspecting according to the rules of Laal Kitaab are considered to be in their normal state. For example: Saturn in the ascendant and Sun in the seventh house are enemy of each other, but this placement is considered to be normal.

Collision

Each planet is the enemy to the planet situated in the eighth house from it and reduces auspicious results, even if both of them are natural friendly planets.

For instance: Sun and Mars are natural friendly planets. But, if in Laal Kitaab kundali Sun is in the fifth house and Mars in the tenth house, then Mars will have negative effect on Sun.

Deception

Planet situated in any house will deceptively aspect the planet in the tenth house from it and will give bad results for the things related to the planet in the tenth house.

According to Laal Kitaab, the natural friendly or unfavorable relationship of planets are not considered important. Since the mutual relationship of planetary aspects or the relationship of different houses alters the mutual relationship of the planets.

An aspect of every planet is seventh in Vedic astrology. But, in Laal Kitaab, there is no mutual relationship between planets nor is there any negative aspect of the house.

However, house fourth house is considered to be the house of the moon in lal kitaab, where it forms friendly relations with Sun and Mercury. On the other hand, Mars, Jupiter. Saturn, Venus and Rahu are enemy planets for moon. Some houses of a kundli are considered very auspicious for placement of the moon.

Usually, the results of chandra kundli in lal kitab are helpful in determining about the spouse of the native. It can determine whether the native will be able to attain the pleasure of his wife or not. The procedure to calculate varshaphal in lal kitab is similar to that of vedic astrology.
