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 .

(1) FOR BABLU 3rd LORD IN Meena

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). So 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 12th) 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.

Periods When Foreign Travels Are Indicated :

When there are adequate prospects in the natal chart for going abroad, the native may undertake foreign travels during
any of the periods mentioned below,

12) The following factors should be taken into consideration for timing foreign travel:

a). the 9th house

The above planets are able to give foreign travel in their dasa-bhukti periods

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.

sign (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) in the 9th house enhances probability of foreign travels as compared to fixed signs.

after marriage.

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,.

Overseas education in horoscope

The houses 3,9,12 are primary houses for travel. The 7th house as per the classics too has
a great role to play in overseas settlement it being the 4th from 4th by the principle of
bhavat bhavam. It is also the opposite house to the lagna/east, representing the west. The
houses of education are 2,4,5,9. 2nd being the house of general intelligence, samskaras
imbibed from childhood, 4th house being the primary house of education and 5th being the
house of intelligence as per parashara. The 9th house signifies higher education, the
connection of 8th house with these signifies engineering, research and technical oriented
education.

The connection of 5th lord to the 12th house or the 9th lord to the 12th house makes the
combination of overseas education. In KP the connection of 4th cuspal sublord or the 9th
cuspal sublord to the 12th house would mean overseas education provided the dasha
signifies 3,4,9,12 houses for education and travel together. The 5th house shows the
aptitude of the person a malefic in the 5th house signifies the person having bent of mind
towards technical subjects even though he may be educated in something else.

In prashna horoscope the 4th and the 9th cuspal sublord will give a clue about overseas
education. Will I get admission in so and so university ? Will I get admission in the
universities I have applied ? Will I get a Visa for education, Should I apply for overseas
education etc can be the queries. I have also had some overseas education consultants
ask me the queries for their clients as they were keen to know how many of the students
can go abroad.

Houses to consider for Foreign Travel

My view point with detailed discussion and examples of real life situation mentioned
below:See from Kaal Chakra Dasha for Confirmation of events.

Kaal Chakra Dasha = Ascendant + Sun + Moon

Foreign Related house in Natal Chart mentioned below:

a) 8th b) 9th c) 12th d) 6th e) 11th f) 5th g) 7th h) 3rd

i) Rahu

5th – Foreign Relationships (Whether good, bad, neutral)

9th / 12th Lord / Jupiter in 5th signify relationship with Foreigners

4th & 12th House represents beginning & ending of Seas. 8th House being the middle one
represents High Seas.

12th House stands for Life away from home.

9th & 12th in movable sign or watery sign possibility of foreign travel increases. 9th or
12th Houses falls in these sign or 9th or 12th house lords falls in these sign or are in
conjunction or in mutual aspect forms a strong yoga for foreign travel.

Mutual exchange of lords of 9th or 12th house Leads to foreign travel yoga.

Motive of foreign travel – Education, Religious purpose, Job, Terrorism etc.

4th house lord placed in 9th house which happens to be moveable sign or watery sign &
conjunct 12th house lord than traveling abroad for higher studies. 4th house = basic
education, 9th house = advanced course / specialization / Higher education.

Association of 5th, 9th, 12th, lords in the dasamsha indicates foreign travel for
professional reasons.
If Dharma Karmadhipati Yoga associated with 12th house native will go on to win
prestigious awards in the foreign country & in some cases get elected to high constitutional
posts like Senator / Governor etc.

Common Signs signify foreign Travel. Native might travel to foreign lands but there will be
no extended stay. They may visit on short term duration may be maximum of 5yrs &
return back to the homeland.

8th house under siege by natural malefic planets.

8th house from ascendant in any natal chart shows bad qualities & with the influence of
destructive planets the house turns into beneficial one for practical purposes.

Malefic influence cause suffering to the native an 8th house stands for suffering. But
suffering would come at a place falling after the seas. 8th house represent mid seas.

6th house = enemies & enemies are considered foreigners / aliens. 11th house is 6th
house & therefore need to study.

Yoga for foreign travel arises when 6th / 11th house comes in contact with 8th house
directly or indirectly. This happens when the lords of these two houses (6th or 11th or
8th) are sitting in one house or aspecting each other mutually.

Involvement of Venus = Pleasure Trips

Involvement of Sun / Mercury over 10th house / 10th Lords = Service / Business Purposes

If Mercury or Virgo / Gemini is associated with Foreign Yoga = Studies in foreign country.

Involvement of Saturn is heavy = Foreign Travel for employment purpose.

Influence of planet can be seen either by aspect or association or exchange of houses.

Settling down in foreign country.

Heavy involvement of fixed sign native will settle in abroad.

If common signs then we have to see first 15 degrees in any common sign represent fixed
nature & second 15 degrees represents movable nature.

Rahu Involvement

Contact with foreign elements / activities / habits culture during sub / sub-sub periods of
Rahu.

Rahu Mahadasha – Jupiter Antardasha – Venus Pratyantar dasha = Native working in

foreign companies / embassies.

Rahu & Jupiter conjunction + Sun exalting & causing Buddhitva Raj Yoga with Mercury in
Aries = Native will come in contact with Prime Minister, Presidents of Foreign Countries.
