Period of Foreign Travel in Horoscope

In Vedic astrology, not only the possibility of foreign travel is studied, but also the period when such an event is likely to happen. The timing depends on planetary dashas, transits, and the strength of specific houses in the chart.

The dasha system (major and sub-periods of planets) plays a crucial role in deciding when a person may travel abroad. If the dasha of the 9th lord, 12th lord, or a planet connected with these houses is active, it often triggers long-distance movement. Similarly, Rahu’s dasha is well-known for taking individuals away from their homeland, sometimes suddenly and unexpectedly.

Planetary transits also give strong clues. When benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus transit the 9th or 12th house, opportunities for overseas education, work, or spiritual journeys often arise. Saturn’s transit may cause delays but brings more permanent settlement abroad.

The 3rd house governs short trips, while the 7th house indicates journeys with a partner. However, it is the 9th and 12th houses that largely determine the period of significant travels. When these houses connect with strong planetary periods, the chances of going abroad become very high.

By carefully studying both dasha and transit together, astrologers can suggest not just the possibility but also the exact period of foreign travel, helping individuals prepare for new beginnings and opportunities in distant lands.

Foreign travel takes place during:

a. Aspect of transit Jupiter or Saturn on 12th house or 12th lord.

b. Dasalantradasa of planets in 3rd, 9th, 2nd or 12th house or their lords.

c. Dasalantradasa of 12th lord, if 12th lord is in 3rd or 9th or aspects 9th.

If the saham or its lord is not related to the 9th house or lagna or, and if saham is no: favourably placed, there cannot be any foreign travel during that year. If saham is aspected by the 7th, the 9th or the 12th lord who is related with any of these houses and their lords, will give foreign journey during the dasalantradasa of the concerned planets during that year.
