Lal Kitab Unique Features
Lal Kitab is a simplified and accessible book on astrology that enables even the common man to analyze his horoscope based on the prevailing circumstances and take measures to align the planets favourably. It is quite different from Vedic astrology in terms of its principles. In Vedic astrology, Lagna is of utmost importance, the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth determines the first house. However, Lal Kitab adopts a different approach where the horoscope remains fixed, similar to Kaal Purush Kundli.
In Vedic astrology, if someone is born in the Scorpio ascendant, the first house of their birth chart starts with Scorpio, which represents the ascendant. However, in Lal Kitab, the first house, or Lagna house, starts with Aries, while Scorpio is in the eighth house in the order. Additionally, Lal Kitab introduces unique concepts and terminology such as pucca house, position of the sleeping planet (sleeping planet), sleeping position of the house or house (sleeping house or house), companion planet or andha teva, dharma teva and Words like Nawalik Tewa are also used. Which has the most importance according to Lal Kitab.
