What is the difference between astrology and numerology?
Astrology reads the positions of planets and signs at birth, while numerology works with the vibrations of numbers derived from a date of birth or name. They are distinct systems that many practitioners use together for fuller guidance.
What is Lal Kitab?
Lal Kitab is a system within the broader astrological tradition known for its simple, practical and low-cost remedies. It has its own way of reading the chart and emphasises easy, everyday measures rather than elaborate rituals.
Is palmistry related to astrology?
Palmistry reads the lines and features of the hand, while astrology reads the birth chart. They are separate disciplines, though both are traditional methods of seeking insight into character and life patterns.
