LK has dropped the concept of Lagna (Ascendent).

In Lal kitab 1942, Farman 2, page 1:

ना २८ नक्षत्रो, न पंचांग गिनती, भुला राशि १२ को वह देती है.

सिर्फ पक्के घर १२ आखिर लेती, ग्रह ९ से किस्मत बता देती है.

It is clearly mentioned in Lal- Kitab that it does not consider 28 nakshatras , nor Panchang ( Vaar, Tithi, Yoga, Karan, Nakshatra are five panchang values), also it does not consider that concept of 12 signs, i.e. concept of Rising Lagna Sign (12 different signs in 24hrs.)

It only consider 12 fix houses (Bhava or Ghar or Khanna number), and 9 planets for fortune prediction.

घर पहला है तख़्त हजारी, ग्रह फल राजा कुंडली का,

ज्योतिष में इसे लग्न भी कहते, झगडा मनुष्य है माया का. [LK 1942, pakka ghar khanna no. 1]

Ghar pehla hai takht hajari, grah phal raja kundli ka .

Jyotish mein ise lagan bhi kehate, jhagra manushya hai maya ka.

Here it is very clear that LK is saying that House number 1 is known as Lagna (ascendent) in Traditional astrology. It means in LK it is know as Khanna no 1.

Method to erect LK Kundli :

लगन एक का हिंदसा लेकर जो चलती, खतम १२ पर ही वह कर देती है.[farmaan 2]

--------

 लगन पहला हिंदसा गिन कर, १२ के बनवा गया,

जनम राशि घर में पहले, लगन से मितवा गया . [From Gujaris heading 1942]

 

The Ascendent of the traditional chart is turned into LK Kundli by removing the sign number and putting up the Fix house number starting from I to XII. Here any rising lagna sign is represented Khana number 1 \ house number 1 and is increased in ascending order. Planets are put in the same house as in traditional chart.

-----------------

Misconception for LK:

1) LK horoscopes start from Mesh Lagna (Aries ascendent) ? 

2)Are all persons born in Mesh Lagna ?

Reality : It simple means that all LK horoscopes starts from First House or Khana Number I, which is also equivalent to Mesh Rasi (Aries sign). There is no such concept like ascendent or Lagna.

3) Is Concept of Trikone, kendra is important and should be used for remedies as per LK ?

Reality : In Lal Kitab , their is no similar concept of Kendra and Trikone as taught in classic Laghu Parashari, there is no concept of functional malefic and benefic as mentioned in Laghu Parasahari for each Lagna.

-----------------

In Lal Kitab, House (Khana Number) & Planets are important.

In the chapter Graha & Rasi in LK-1942 page 48-50. :
All the basic relationship between planets and house are clearly mentions. Nowhere Lagna is mentioned, nor any such type of concept is used.

Each House (Khanna number) is designated with :

1)Rasi ka Malik graha : planet which is owner of sign.
2)Uccha graha : Planet which are exalted in Khana number.
3)Neecha graha : Planet which are debilitated in Khana number.
4)Pakka Ghar : Planet which are pakka in khana number.
5)Kismat jagane wala Grah : Planet which activate the fortune of the Khana number.
6)Graha Phal Ka : Planet which is not remedial for the Khana number.
7)Rasi Phal Ka :  Planet which is remedial for the Kahan Number.

We can clearly see that in House - Planet relationship : Above Seven different types of relationship is considered in LK.

It should be noted that :

1) Meaning and usage Uccha \ Neecha Graha is not exactly same as in traditional astrology. In traditional astrology Strength and Avastha is considered with Uccha \ Neecha, which is not so in LK.

2) In LK , rasis are considered for lordship as per Kal Purush chart scheme. like Mangal (mars)  is lord of Mesha (Aries) and Vrischika (scorpio). Other attributes of sign like nature of Mesh rasi, its qualities as considered in traditional astrology, is not used in Lal Kitab.

I hope this will help a lot to understand LK.
