Foreign Travel & Settlement

STUDYING A HOROSCOPE FOR FOREIGN RESIDENCY 1. 12th House: In a horoscope, 12th house shows separation and detachment from Relatives. Malefic influences on 12th house make a person wander from place to place. 2. 3rd and 9th House: While 4th house represents comfort of a house, 3rd and 9th being 12th (causing separation) and 6th (alien-ness) from 4th denote journeys. 3. 3rd house should be considered for short journeys and 9th for long journeys. I think this is due to the fact that from 9th house we also look at religion and hence pilgrimages, which usually were very long in olden times. 4. Moreover, malefic influences on 4th house, by way of occupation will make one leave his/her birth place, i.e. travel to a foreign location. 4th is house of Residence. Affliction to this takes the person abroad to settle there . 5. 7th House: A lot of sages have mentioned in their works that residence in foreign countries should be looked at from seventh house. Rushi Satyacharya has said that Lagnadhipati in the 7th House associated with a benefic would live in a foreign country and die there. 6. 8th House: Involves journey by sea in connection with treatment. We may take it crossing the Sea. 7. 12th House: has a major role for a residence in a Foreign country. 8. Rahu described as a malefic planet is a karaka for anything foreign. 9. if the 12th lord is in the 9th, there will be both residence and property abroad. 10. As per Laghu Parasari Lagna Lord with 9th or 10th lord is placed in a kendra ensures attainment of dignity in a Foreign country. 11. Movable and Watery signs: Position of lords of above mentioned houses in these signs indicates travel. 12. Rahu and Saturn: These planets influence travel in their Dasha and Antardasha. Rahu signifies the foreign element in the chart, something that is unconventional and out of ordinary. 13. Sun: While positioned in any of the houses – 3rd, 7th, 9th and 12th, Sun influences journeys. To understand the conditions that lead to foreign travel, combinations between these planets and houses are important. Ascendant lord in moveable or watery sign along with 9th and/or 12th house lord would indicate foreign travel. Combinations with 3rd house lord would indicate short travels instead of long, overseas travel. Influence of 7th house lord is necessary for settling in a foreign country. Influence of Rahu or other malefic planets on 4th would give the same result by causing estrangement and would show a person leaving the comforts of residence. These combinations along with other combination of journeys would mean a one way ticket to a foreign country. Correspondingly, beneficial influences on 4th house in combination with 9th house would indicate increased attachment with the original place of residence and the person would come back home. The timing of journey is always governed by 9th or 12th house lords and planets influencing these houses either though aspect or occupation of the house. Influence of lord of difficult houses – 6th house and in particular 8th house would indicate

problems with travel, e.g. an unfavourable Mars in a chart in this scenario would indicate possible accidents while traveling.

Foreign Travel Travelling abroad is one of the cherished dreams of most Indians, and thanks to the blooming IT industry and the increased demand for English-efficient and conscious work-force, a large number of Indians are traveling abroad and realizing their ambition. But there are few people who can turn their dream into a reality. Astrologically one can interpret which chart have chances to going abroad. People visit foreign countries for various purposes some for vacations, some on business trip, some students for further higher studies. But most of them go on the basis of immigration. Foreign trips and the related houses in a Janma Kundali Primary houses for foreign journey are 3rd, 9th and 12th house. If these houses fall in moveable signs such as Aries(Mesha), Cancer(Kataka), Libra(Tula), Capricorn(Makara) or water signs such as Cancer(Kataka), Scorpio(Vrischika), Pisces(Meena), then there is a possibility of foreign travel . It is obvious from the above that Cancer is a powerful sign in this regard as it is both a moveable sign and a watery sign. Thus if the 9th or 12th houses of a horoscope

fall in these signs, or if the 9th or 12th house lords fall in these signs, you may deduce that foreign travel is indicated for such natives. For an example native is going abroad for higher education and in his chart 4th lord is placed in the 9th house which happens to be a moveable sign, or a watery sign, and is conjunct the 12th lord, One can say that the native will be traveling abroad for higher education (4th house stands for basic education; 9th house stands for advanced courses/ specializations). The lord of 9th house rules long journeys and lord of 3rd house governs short journeys. Also, involvement of 3rd house in Yogas related to foreign travel indicate a short-term journey. When 4th lord is placed in 12th house then native will find more auspicious living in abroad rather than at his native place. If the lord of 6th house is present in travel related Yogas, the person will travel to foreign country on official assignments assigned by his employer 8th house is the house of longevity and legacies. Being a watery house it also plays an important role in determining the prospects of travelling abroad. Presence of the malefic planet in the 8th house indicates a foreign travel. Presence of a dual-natured sign such as Gemini(Mithuna), Virgo(Kanya), Sagittarius(Dhanus), Pisces(Meena) or a movable sign (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) in the 9th house enhances probability of foreign travels as compared to fixed signs. Twelfth house represents life away from home. If lord of 12th house is inauspicious or debilitated from ascendant, it indicates foreign travels. If the lord of the house of marriage or the 7th house is associated with 8th, 9th or 12th house, it indicates foreign travel after marriage. Involvement of Jupiter in the yogas related to foreign trips indicates trips related to participation in religious functions/conferences/activities. Association of 5th, 9th, and 12th lords in the dasamsha indicate traveling abroad for professional reasons. These persons are usually employed as skilled professional like (scientists, professors, Doctors, Engineers, etc.)in abroad. If the combination of 9th and 10th lord is associated with the 12th house, the native may to take awards in the foreign country,. Curiously similar combinations will be found in the horoscopes of Indian posted abroad. Similar are the results when 10th and 12th lords of the dasamsha have mutual aspect or association. It should be noted that while moveable signs indicate travels away from homeland and hence might indicate long stay abroad, common signs indicating foreign travel signify that the person might travel a lot to foreign lands, but there will be no extended stay there

Indication of Foreign Travel 1. Lagna/Lagna lord in a moveable sign/dual signs: if the lagna and lagna lord both are in moveable signs or dual signs then it would indicate foreign travel. Lagna indicates self. So when the sign which indicates self and the lord of that sign are in moveable or dual signs which indicates movement it can mean foreign travel for the person. 2. 7th house is the house of foreign country and so is 12th house. 9th house indicates foreign travel (long distance). If the lagna or lagna lord makes a connection with the 7th house/7th lord, 9th house, 9th lord or 12th house/12th lord it can mean foreign travel. The connections can be conjunction, aspect, mutual exchange, or one lord placed in another's house. When most of the planets and houses for foreign travel (7th, 9th, 8th and 12 th) are connected with Aries, Cancer, Libra & Capricorn (movable signs), one will undertake many foreign travels. 3. Lagna/lagna lord makes connection with Rahu. Rahu again indicates foreign country so it's being placed in lagna or lagna lord in conjunction, mutual aspect with Rahu can mean foreign travel. 4. 4th house signifies home. so 4th house/lord in connection (conjunction/mutual aspect/mutual exchange/aspect) with 7th/7th lord, 9th/9th lord or 12th/12th lord can mean foreign travel. 5.The Sun, Moon, Saturn and Rahu are the significators for foreign travel. When these planets occupy the 8th, the 9th or the 12th houses or aspect them, foreign travel is possible. 6. The Lagna lord in the 9th house or vice-versa indicates foreign travel. 7. The Moon in Cancer denotes foreign travel as the Moon is a swift moving planet and Cancer is a movable sign. 8. The sign Libra is favourable for foreign travel. If the ascendant, 9th or 10th houses fall in Libra, one has the good chances for foreign travel 9. When the Lagna and 10th lords are in a movable sign or Navamsa, one can go to foreign country for livelihood. 10. The Moon, Rahu & Saturn are able to give foreign travel. If these planets are in the Ascendant, the 9th or 10th houses or aspect these houses or their lords, then there is a chance for foreign travel. 11. The Lagna lord in the 12th or with 12th lord or 12th lord in Lagna is a strong factor showing residence abroad. 12. Saturn in the 4th, 7th or 12th house will create the chance to settle down in a foreign country.

Direction of planets and the purpose of travel Involvement of Sun in Yogas related to foreign travels indicates journeys towards eastern direction and since Sun is the head of solar system and of huge size it also represents long distance travels. Involvement of Moon in Yogas related to foreign travels indicates journeys towards north-western direction from the place of birth of a person but the travels will be frequent. Involvement of Mars in these Yogas indicate journey towards southern direction, being an airy planet it indicates a travel of a medium distance by air. When Mercury is involved it indicates a trip towards northern direction which will be related to business, science and education during higher studies or jobs.

Involvement of Saturn in the Yogas related to foreign travels indicates a trip towards western direction and since it is far away from Sun, it indicates long-distance travels. Involvement of Venus indicates medium distance travels towards south-eastern direction. These journeys will be related to leisure and entertainment. Rahu is the planet of secrecy and diplomacy. Therefore, involvement of Rahu in the Yogas related to foreign trips indicates secret journeys and diplomatic visits. Involvement of Rahu and Ketu is highly inauspicious due to which a person is forced to go to away to a land which is far away from his or her birth place.
