Lal Kitab · house

The 2nd house in Lal Kitab: the temple of the family (dharm sthan)

It covers family, savings, speech, food and the in-laws' house. Owner: Jupiter.

The 2nd house in Lal Kitab is the family's temple: the savings, the food on the table, the words spoken at home and the house of the in-laws. Jupiter owns it, and the book reads it as a place of worship, which is why respect for places of worship appears in so many 2nd-house remedies.

A planet in the 2nd shows what the family lives on and how it speaks. Lal Kitab often reads the 2nd as a result of the 9th and the 10th: what fortune and work earn is stored here.
