RED BOOK OF ASTROLOGY WITH REMEDIES Based on 1952 Edition of Lal Kitab (Urdu Version)

Lal Kitab was christened thus due to its red outer cover probably keeping in view the auspiciousness of the colour in hindu mythology. This book deals with the oceanic knowledge of occult, a science based on palmistry/phrenology and other associated fields. Though it is a part and parcel of Vedic astrology, its contours are different and has its own grammar. For Example, the house of ascendant would always be No.1 irrespective of the position of the planets.

In 1983, Lal Kitab was suddenly in news when an astrological magazine "Fate and Fortune" published Lal Kitab's remedies in one of its issues. Soon the market was flooded with Lal Kitabs and its numerous versions. Although, we have come across a number of reproduction/ versions of Lal Kitab, none of the writers has mentioned as to which particular issue of Lal Kitab, his work is based on.

The reason that drove us to translate the five issues of Lal Kitab was our desire to put an end to all controversies cropping up about the origin of work and its validity. Secondly, since the books were readily available with us in Urdu language we could endeavour to check indiscriminate commercialisation in the name of Lal Kitab and also make efforts to convey to the masses the reality or facts about the original Work in an international language like English.

In the beginning of the book we have discussed the palmistry and phrenology section in brief which could be used for rectification of the horoscope while preparing the Annual chart or predicting the natal chart. Preparation of natal chart through palm have been discussed through which one can make a natal chart though, date, time, and place of birth of the native is not available. The second volume of the Lal Kitab is all about interpreting the horoscope, suggesting the remedies by using the grammar given in the first volume of the book. Before suggesting any type of remedy for any evil or debilitated planet, one should see the reason for the problem and suggest remedy accordingly.

Lal Kitab Astrology is very much based on the articles, relations, business/profession and other miscellaneous things related to the planets which changes according to the houses of the chart. All the living and non - living things have been divided by Lal Kitab under nine segments. Such as brass (Sun), silver (Moon), soil (Venus), Gold (Jupiter), Iron (Saturn), elder daughter (Mercury) etc. One should bear in mind that whenever it is indicated that a planet in a particular house has malefic effect, it would be advisable to refrain from items relating to that planet.
