The English version of Lal Kitab is an extension of the earlier book and both complement each other. Renowned astrology Roop Lal Wrote Lal Kitab in Urdu, during the 19th century, based on an ancient text. This rare book was popular in north-west India, Pakistan, Iran and many other countries. The English version of Lal Kitab, written by Prof. U.C. Mahajan, has added new dimensions to make it more lucid and easier to understand for common people. The salient points of this book are: 1. Every planet has a benefic or malefic effect according to its raashi and placement in a particular house. For example, Jupiter in house No. 1 can exercise good or bad effects according to its nature, whether excellent or debilitating. Consequently, the author has classified the effect of every planet - good or bad - separately. The earlier book carried a generalized interpretation. Now, readers will find it easy to comprehend every planet's effect. 2. More Case studies have been added to make it broad-based. 3. New chapters on a house, the effect of auspicious and inauspicious planets, precious stones and their significance, characteristics of all planets, nakshatras and their importance, Natal Moon chart and Saturn's transit (Saade-Saati) i.e. 71/2 years of Saturn's malefic transit through the Moon, have been added. 4. Preparation of birth chart according to south Indian traditions has also been included.
