Lal Kitab
Lal Kitab is a book of astrology written in Urdu in Punjab between 1939 and 1952. It reads each graha by the house it sits in and answers trouble with simple household remedies: below are its houses, its nine family debts and its upay.
Four ways it differs from Parashari astrology
Each graha in each house: Lal Kitab’s reading and its upay. Open one for the details and a table for every lagna.
Which grahas in which houses bring each, and the remedy the book gives
The rule is broad: of 8,349 sample birth charts, 97% carry at least one rin and most carry 3. Pitru Rin alone shows in 71%. A rin here is a family duty to settle together, not a curse.

As those who follow Lal Kitab keep them
A book of astrology and remedies written in Urdu in Punjab between 1939 and 1952, attributed to Pandit Roop Chand Joshi. It reads each graha by its house and gives simple household upay.
It uses the same nine grahas and twelve houses but reads them its own way, by house rather than rashi, with a pakka ghar for each graha and its own list of debts and remedies.
The 8th. Lal Kitab also counts the 7th as Shani’s exaltation: It brings steady income, property, support from superiors and success with machinery or iron.
From the houses your grahas sit in, which need your birth time. Each rin above lists the placements that bring it; the Janam Kundli report reads them for your chart.
Those who follow it hold that a remedy for a graha that is already well placed can unsettle it, which is why one remedy is chosen from the chart and done alone for its forty days.
Where each graha sits in your chart, the rin it carries and the one remedy to begin with.
