The Lal Kitab has identified a few houses which if studied together, would give a better understanding of the horoscope.

House # 2, 4, & 10
The 10th house is the karma sthan, a place where destiny becomes perceptible. A planet placed in the 10th indicates the vastness of the kismet [ desiny] This house is associated with the 2nd house through navam-pancham [ 9-5 ] relationship. Therefore the quality of this kismet will be judged through the planet placed in the 2nd house. The 4th house represents the comforts which can be acquired through the parishram [ efforts ] of the 10th, and accumulated in the 2nd. If the 4th house is unoccupied, or occupied by Saturn/rahu/ketu , that would indicate that the native will not be able to enjoy the fruits of the comforts which he had acquired through his efforts. If the 10th house is occupied and the 2nd is not, then the 10th house will have no luster. Such a person might be deprived of worldly comforts. If the 2nd house is occupied and the 10th house is not occupied then also the native might have to struggle a lot even for small things. If the 2nd and the 10th houses are unoccupied, and even if there is a benefic in the 4th house still the native might get nothing and his effort might be like wandering after a mirage.

Houses # 2 , 6, 8 , 11, & 12

[ a ] planets of the 2nd house and the 12th house have close affinity, as have the planets of the 6th and the 8th. [ b ] A planet placed in the 8th will transfer its adverse effects to the 2nd house on the advice of the planet placed in the 6th. 11th house will be used as a passageway. A planet placed in the 8th house would indicate sudden events and problems depending on whether it is a malefic or a benefic. The effect of the 8th house can be assimilated with that of the 2nd provided that the planet placed in the 11th house is not an enemy of the planet placed in the 8th house. If the planets placed in the 11th

and the 8th are mutually enemies than the effect of the 8th will not get assimilated with that of the 2nd. [ c ] Similarly the effect of the 2nd house can also get assimilated with that of the 6th. The effect of the 6th does not get transferred to the 2nd except in the case of the Saturn placed in the 6th. It is believed that the Saturn placed in the 6th can look back at the 2nd like a snake. [ d ] The effect of the 6th house can be transferred to the 12th house. In this transfer the effect of the 6th alone will be transferred and not the one which got assimilated from the 2nd house. [ e ] The 12th house effect can not get assimilated into the 6th house except in the case of a mercury placed in the 12th. [ f ] If there are mutually enemy planets in the 8th and the 12th houses and the 2nd is not occupied, then such a native is advised not to go inside a temple. He is advised to bow and pray to the deity from out side of the main entrance of the temple. In the reverse situation, if the planets placed in the 8th and the 12th are mutually friends and the 2nd is unoccupied then one is advised to go inside the temple and touch the feet of the deity and pray. For example if there is a Saturn in the 12th and a Sun in the 8th while the 2nd is vacant then if the native goes to the temple it would result in bringing the Saturn and the sun together and hence can have adverse effects on the Venus. Such a native might have marital discord or his wife could have bad health. On the contrary if the 12th house has planets like Jupiter or mars, friends of the sun in the 8th, then it is advisable that such a person should go to the temple and seek blessings of the deity by touching the feet of the deity.

House # 1, 7, 8, & 11
[ a ] Planet placed in the 1st house is considered the King where as a planet placed in the 7th house is considered as its prime minister. If there are more planets in the Lagna than those in the 7th it would amount to having more kings than the prime ministers. Such a situation can cause disorder and chaos. So long as the prime ministers, planets placed in the 7th house are more than the ones placed in the 1st house, the things would stay orderly. [ b ] A planet placed in the 11th house is taken to be the legs of the planet placed in the Lagna.The planet placed in the 8th will act as the eyes of the planet placed in the Lagna. Now this is quite obvious that for a King to be effective he should have reliable eyes and the legs.

[ c ] The 8th house is also taken to mean the considered opinion of the prime minister. That is, the 7th house planet would advise the planet placed in the Lagna according to the nature of the planet placed in the 8th. Houses # 3, 5, 9, 10, & 11 [ a ] If there are mutually friendly planets in the 2nd and the 9th houses then the native will be very fortunate and will also enjoy the wealth and the fame earned by his ancestors. If they are enemies, then he may not be lucky and may not have much of what his ancestors had left. [ b ] The relationship and the relevance of the planets in the 2nd and the 9th has been explained in the book through an image. The monsoon winds arise from the 9th house and strike against the mountain of the 2nd house resulting in the rain in the 4th house. If there is no planet in the 9th, the monsoon clouds will not form and hence no rain. Similarly if there is no planet in the 2nd house the clouds will go through because there is no mountain to hold the clouds; and there will be no rain. [ c ] Both the 3rd house and the 5th are associated with the 9th house. The planet placed in the 3rd starts affecting the native after the birth of the brother; similarly the planet placed in the 5th starts affecting after the birth of the progeny. If the planets placed in the 3rd and the 9th are friendly towards the planet placed in the 9th, the native will enjoy the benefic results of them. [ d ] If there are mutual enemies placed in the 5th and the 8th, then the planet placed in the 11th will attack with lightening speed affecting the relatives signified by the 5th and the 8th house. [ e ] Planet placed in the 5th and the 10th will be in a relationship of conflict. Even if they might be friends, still the significations of these planets might suffer in their years. [ f ] If the 11th house is unoccupied, then there will be no financial stability. Bhooshan Priya
