Overseas/ Foreign Travel Yoga.

Houses 3, 9, 12 and 7 as well as planets Moon, Neptune and Uranus are
examined to find out:

(a) whether journeys are promised; if so, whether it is short of long;

(b) whether it is on land or overseas; and

(c) whether one breaks journey on his way or not.

Good aspects to the 3rd cusp, planets in the constellation of the occupants
of the third house, the occupants of the third house, the planets in the
constellation of lord of 3 and the owner of the third house indicate short
travel.

Similar aspect to the 9th house promise long travel.

12th house shows life in a foreign place and a thorough change in the
surroundings and environments.

7th house indicates visit of various places in the same trip and break of
journey on the way.

Evil planet occupying 4th house gives a thorough change in one’s

residence, especially during the period of the lord of 12.

(1) The 9th house (and not necessarily the 9th sign) should be preferably in
a movable sign and movable Navamsa and should possess adequate
strength.

(2) Rahu or Kethu or any their malefic the 12th from the lord of the
Ascendant.

(3) The lord of the 12th house from that occupied by the lord of the
Ascendant as the latter’s enemy or in depression or weak.

(4) Malefic in the 12th house aspected by other malefics and the lord of the
12th is himself with a malefic.

(5) A benefic in the 12th house aspected by another benefic and the 12th
lord in a benefic sign.

(6) The 12th house occupied by a malefic and the 12th lord conjoined with
 II

as well as aspected by a malefic.

(7)The planet in the 12th house owning a movable sign also occupying a
movable sign, or as lord of a Dusthana or aspected by Saturn.

(8) Exchange between friendly lords of the 9th and 12th house preferably in
movable signs.

(9) Dasa or Bhukti of the 9th, the 10th or the 12th lord from Ascendant, the
Moon or the Sun (in a movable sign) associated with a yoga karaka, usually
propitious for bringing about foreign travel.

(10) Dasa of lord of the 12th or that of the planet placed in the 12th or that
aspecting the 12th.

(11) Fixing the time is a rather ticklish affairs which every student of
astrology will vouch. The timing can be sometimes made with reference to
the transit of Jupiter or his Trinal aspect over the M. C., the Sun or the lord
of the 9th in a movable sign.

(12) When Jupiter makes a Trinal aspect on the lord of the 7th from a
movable sign or double bodied sign or when the 7th lord himself is in a
movable or doubled bodied sign and Jupiter makes a Trinal aspect on him,
then the person will have a long journey or travel abroad.

(13) Lord of the 9th in Ascendant and vice versa or exchange between lords
of the Ascendant and the 9th makes the person live in foreign lands.

(14) When a planet is in his depression or inimical house and is also

retrograde the native will live in a foreign land serving some one.

(15) Lord of the Lagna in the 12th, a malefic planet in the 10th and
combined with Mars makes the native live in a foreign country and lead a
miserable life.

(16) When three or more planets other than the luminaries occupy both the
2nd and the 12th from the Ascendant, then the native will live in a foreign
country.

(17) If the Ascendant is movable and lord of the Ascendant also in a

movable sign aspected by a planet from a movable sign, then the native
will make his fortune in a foreign place.

(18) There is no specific karaka or significator for foreign travels given in

the texts although the Moon and Mars are termed for the purpose generally.
Rahu and Kethu are no less important for signifying foreign travels unless
 III

they are well associated with a Yogakaraka planet and placed in a movable,
the 9th or 12th house from the Ascendant or the Moon.

(19) Kethu in the above situation would give mediocre effects in the
beginning of his Dasa and during the last phase of the Dasa provide for a
foreign visit.

(20) Other planets and Bhavas also acquire powers to bring about the event
through such qualifications as prescribed earlier in their respective Dasa
Bhukti and or transit of such planet or planets over the cusp of the 9th
house, the M. C., the natal Sun, the Moon and lord of the Ascendant.

(21) From Lagna as well as the 10th house prediction in a very general way
can be made, and the return from travel from the 7th house. From the entry
of a planet into the 4th house, the time of return of a traveller may also be
ascertained.

(22) If the Ascendant is movable and if its lord occupies or aspects the
Ascendant without the aspect of malefics, and if benefics associate with or
aspect the Ascendant, the person will have a change of place. If malefics
associate with or aspect the Ascendant, there will be no change.

(23) In the case of a query regarding someone who had already gone
abroad, if the Ascendant at query be fixed or common, and if it associates
with benefics or is aspected or occupied by benefics, the person who went
abroad would have come back. If n the other hand malefics associate with
or aspect or occupy the Ascendant, the person has not returned from
abroad.
