Lal
Kitab deals with nine oldest planets, namely Sun, moon, Mars, jupiter, Venus,
Mercury, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. Though the last two are nodes yet they are
also treated as planets. There
are many type of classifcations of these planets some of them are same as we
have in regular astrology. The planets are classified as males and females.
Sun, Mars and Jupiter are the male planets. Moon and Venus are female planets.
Saturn and mercury are the eunuchs. Rahu and Ketu are just the associates of
Saturn. They have not been assigned any sex.
The rashis ruled by these planets are
also the same. Sun rules over Leo, Moon over cancer, Mars over aries and
Scorpio, Mercury over Gemini and Virgo, Jupiter over Sagittarius and Pisces,
Venus over Taurus and Libra, and Saturn over Capricorn and Aquarius.
As regards houses of exaltations and
debilitations of these planets they are also the same as in regular astrology.
Sun gets exalted in Aries, moon in Taurus, Jupiter in Cancer, Mercury and Rahu
in Virgo, Saturn in Libra, Ketu in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn and Venus and
Ketu in Pisces. Rahu gets exalted in Gemini also. The houses of debilitation of
each planet are houses 180 degrees apart from their houses of exalation.
In birth chart rasis are identical with houses.
There is similarity between astrology
and Lal Kitab upto this place. One peculiarity of Lal Kitab is that the rasis
are not taken into account. The number of Rasis which are taken to be
identical with house numbers, are only important.
Pakka Ghar of planets
Pakka Ghar is nothing but the
concept of natural significator of houses. Sun's Pakka ghar is lagna. The other

Sin
and Sinful Planets |
|
Often
there is reference of Paap(Sin) and Paapi(Sinful) planets in Lal Kitab.
From Paap or sin is meant Rahu and Ketu from Paapi grahas the reference is to
three planets namely Rahu, Ketu and Saturn. |
|
Kayam
Graha or Established Planet |
|
The
planet which can give his results freely and without hindrance is called an
established planet. In other words no enemy planet should occupy his houses of
lordship, exaltation, debility and of his signification. He should also
not be a saathi planet or comrade and he should have no aspect of any planet. |
|
Dharmi
Grahas or Righteous Planets |
|
Saturn,
Rahu and Ketu are known as Paapi Planets but they also some times become the
Dharmi or righteous planets. Rahu and Ketu becomes righteous in the 4th house
or anywhere in the chart with Moon. Similarly saturn becomes righteous when
posited in 11th house or anywhere in the chart with jupiter.
By becoming righteous they do not give good results or become benefics. They
shall not simply afflict the house or the planet. They become neutral.
They on there part will not promote or cause any bad effects. |
|
Muqabla
ke Graha or Matching Planets |
|
Each
planet has his own friends who behave in a friendly way. Some times one of such
planets may occupy the house of lordship or the Pakka Ghar of his
friendly planet and that planet does not occupy any such house of the former.
In such a case the two planets, although friends may not remain the true
friends. The behaviour of the former will be suspected. He may at times spoil
the results of his friendly planets. The planet shall be known as
matching planets. Sun and Mars are friends. If Mars occupies the lagna
and Sun does not occupy such house of mars, Mars behaviour under such
circumstances may or may not be friendly to Sun. Mars would be called a
matching planet to Sun. Both can harm each other.
