Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Dear Members, It is often said that lal kitab is simply an extension of the existing Hindu (Vedic) astrology. However, reading the following article, makes it difficult to accept such a statement. UNIQUE TO LAL KITAB: **1. Ascendant or Lagna (the first house in a horoscope) is always considered to be having Aries sign in it. A traditional Indian horoscope is converted to the Lal Kitab system by changing the Lagna sign to Aries and the sign of the second house to Taurus and so on. The planets that are in these houses are not changed, only the Rashis (signs) are changed. This removes the need for having to consider the “Lord of the first” (Lagnesh) or Dhanesh, Shashtesh etc. Each house in a horoscope has been assigned a fixed lordship of a Rashi, which is Aries for the first house, Taurus for the second house and so on. 2. Rahu and Ketu, (the lunar nodes) which are always seven houses (180 degrees) apart from each other in the traditional Indian astrology, do not have to be bound by this condition. Especially, while making an annual progressed horoscope using Lal Kitab’s Varshphal table, these two may or may not be seven houses apart. These two can even occupy adjoining houses. Rahu and Ketu can even be together, when a horoscope is made based on one’s palm or the house that one lives in (Makaan Kundli.) 3. In the traditional Indian astrology, Sun, Mercury and Venus are always positioned close by. Lal Kitab removes this condition also. These planets can be spread all over the horoscope, distant from each other, just as in the case of Rahu and Ketu. 4. Multiple planets that are together in the birth chart in a particular house, remain grouped together for the rest of one’s life. While preparing the annual horoscope, these planets move together as a group. For example, if one has Jupiter, Sun and Saturn together in the first house in the birth chart, these planets will move together to the fourth house in one’s 25th year of life (See the Varshphal table in the Lal Kitab for details.) 5. In order to judge a horoscope, one need not consider the Nakshtra (constellation) or Rashi. Also Lal Kitab does not consider the effect of transition of planets (gochar) thus eliminating the need for an almanac. The only time one needs an almanac is, when one is preparing the natal birth chart. After that, an almanac is not needed at all, ever.** Those interested can read more here: http://www.angelfire.com/celeb/shatendra/skslalkitab.html Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com jyotish-vidya ___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
