Precautions for Each

Planet Rahu-Ketu
By
Anita Khandpur, India

L
Anita Khandpur, born in Mumbai
in a business family took fashion
designing as a profession for 20
years and now her hobby of
astrology has turned into a full time
profession. She combines tarot cards
with astrology readings. Her wide
practical experience in years of
professional astrology has helped
her far deeper than most
astrologers in understanding and
testing some oft ignored methods.

al Kitab (Red Book) is a common

name heard by many people across
India. The remedies given in Lal
Kitab are very simple and require very
little time and they are inexpensive. There
are many books available in the market by
many authors and all of them have nearly
the same remedies. What is more
important to learn is what to avoid in life.
This has been my personal experience as a
professional astrologer in Mumbai, dealing
with various category of charts & what it
has been observed by this scribe is that it
is not the remedies one does to solve ones
problems that an astrologer needs to tell
his clients but what the client should never
land up doing on his own which will cause
his downfall, this is what the astrologer
must warn his clients. This would be a 9
part series which I have culled out from
Lal Kitab and one rare old Gujarati Book,
which I have observed to work very well
in my experience over decades.
