Some of us are destined to leave home for short stays abroad and some are destined to spend their whole life abroad. Our astrology chart can show whether we can go abroad and whether it is a short stay or permanent settlement. There are many ways to find such chances. Some have strong chances, but some have weak chances. For some people, foreign stay brings them fortunes, but for some, that can bring miseries as well.

The 9th and 12th houses of our astrology chart are the main houses for foreign travel and settlement. The 9th house generally deals with foreign travels for various purposes like studies, job, or vacation. The 12th house deals with the foreign settlement. Amazingly both the houses are ruled by Jupiter. However, it would not be ideal to say, Jupiter will be the planet for foreign travel. There are many planets responsible for foreign travels.

These are the houses for traveling.

• 3rd house: Short Journeys
• 4th house: Mother Land
• 9th house: Long journeys
• 12th house: Foreign Land and settlement

The 3rd house

This house is for short travels, but it is 12th to the 4th house of the family it can also be the house for foreign travels due to certain planetary combinations like the 12th lord being in the 3rd.

4th house: Mother Land

If there is a maleFic influence in the 4th house of home and motherland, then the person will move out of the house.

Foreign travels and Foreign settlement should be studied differently.

There are three sets of Rasis they are

Chara Rashi or Movable sign-Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn

Sthira Rashi or Fixed Sign-Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

Dual Sign-Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

So, among this, it is obvious that moveable signs do give the chance to move out of the place of birth. It can be short or long travels as well. We can see a lot of moving like place change, changes in life in the life of the people who has more planets in moveable rasis.

Dual Signs can also give the chances of traveling. Still, the chances for settlement can be less regarding this rasis.

The Signs are again divided according to the element. They are

Fire-Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Earth-Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Air-Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Water-Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

The Sign of Cancer is very important because it indicates homeland. Any affliction to this sign indicates the chances for leaving the homeland. The Moon is the ruler of Cancer and any affliction on Moon will show the chances to leave home for work or for studies.

Even though Jupiter rules the 9th and 12th, Rahu and Ketu are also indicating the chances for foreign travels.

Case Studies

Foreign travel for work
Date of Birth: January 22,1977 09:40:00
Firozpur

This above chart belongs to a person who travels frequently for work. He had been to many countries in Europe as well as USA. He left his place of birth and now settled in a place away from the place of birth. In his chart, the 9th house has Rahu. The 9th house indicates long travels, but not a settlement. He is a business owner as well.

2) Foreign Settlement

Date of Birth: November 20, 1984 11:15:00, Trivandrum

This above chart belongs to a person, who went to a European country from India and got settled there. In this chart, the 11th lord, Mars is exalted in Lagna. Her Lagna falls in Capricon which is a Chara rasi. So, there are huge chances to move from places to places. The 11th house is the Bhvat Bhavam of the 12th house, so, it shows her physical body will be in foreign lands for settlement. Her lagna lord is Saturn and it is aspecting the house of homeland and hence there are chances for a long stay abroad. She is very rich, and she has a successful career as well.

3) The below chart belongs to a person, who has foreign stay but getting repeated setbacks in his career in a foreign land. The 4th lord Sun is with Saturn in the 6th house of challenges. Saturn is the lord of 9th house as well. So, it is showing a lot of struggles in a foreign land.

Any negative planets in the 4th, 2nd, 7th 9th, and 12th is a direct indication of foreign settlement. Affliction to the 2nd, 4th, and the 9th are showing the chances for a foreign settlement.

Still, there are so many people with such combination who never travel abroad, but within India, they travel. For an Indian traveling to another state is also equal to foreign travel. Earlier days, leaving homeland was seen as a terrible thing, but it is a matter of pride and status.

We need to look at the planetary placement like where is the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 12th lords placed. Through that we can find whether the person can have a foreign settlement or not.
