Lal Kitab (literally “Red Book”) is a unique branch of astrology that originated in the 19th–20th century in India. Unlike traditional astrology that uses Vedic principles with mantras, yagyas, or gemstones, Lal Kitab focuses on practical remedies and is often called the “astrology of the common man.”
