Dreaming Of Moving Abroad? Foreign Travel Astrology Has The Answer
The dream of moving abroad is no longer just a fantasy—it’s a goal for millions, whether for education, employment, marriage, job, a better lifestyle or permanently relocating to a foreign country is more widespread than ever in the connected world of today.
Since ancient times, astrology has provided deep insights into our life's journey, not only spiritually but also literally, including the trips we take across the continents and seas.
According to astrology - the birth chart, houses, planetary movements or periods, Rahu and Ketu are intimately linked to the decision to relocate abroad and settle there. In astrology among the 12 houses - the 4th, 9th and 12th house correspond with foreign travel.
Factors considered by Astrologers
Astrologers typically analyze various astrological elements to determine the potential of foreign travel or settlement. These factors include the influences of the 4th house, 9th house, 12th house, dasha period, Rahu and Ketu and planetary movements, which are as follows:-
The 4th house – (The Homebody)
The 4th house denotes the family environment, home, emotions and foundation. This house delves into the emotional bond formed during their childhood and with their mother which has a strong influence in their life.
The planet in this house can tell whether people’s future lies far from where they were born which influences a person's desire to settle or travel abroad. If there is a connection between the planets in the 4th house and the 9th or 12th house, there may be a strong possibility of moving for personal or family reasons.
The 9th House – (Spiritual and Religious)
9th house is associated with spirituality, philosophy, luck, fortune, higher education and traveling long distances. This house is also linked with travel and interaction with new people and different cultures.
Moving to another country could help to grow and find happiness if the 9th house is strong or if planetary movements are favorable - Rahu and Ketu are well placed and connected to the 9th house, which will be a significant indicator for foreign travel or foreign settlement.
12th House – (The Subconscious)
The 12th house is all about spiritual growth, isolation, emotions, the subconscious mind and intuition. It is the last and final house in the astrological chart which provides conclusions and is associated with the sign of Pisces and the planet Neptune.
A well-placed 12th house or planetary influence - Rahu (North Node) may indicate a karmic connection to a specific country where we will find peace, solitude, or the freedom to explore new opportunities. Other planets like the Moon, Venus, Jupiter or Saturn also play a significant role in associated with foreign travel, in conjunction with the 12th house.
Dasha Periods and Influences of the Planet – (Period of Life)
A planetary phase that has a major impact on a person's personal life, affecting many facets of their experiences, is known as the dasha period. It describes the time when the energy of a particular planet is most noticeable, impacts relationships, events and individual traits.
The best time to move abroad can be determined by looking at a particular planetary phase, or Dashas, and the sub-periods that go along with them.
For example, Jupiter’s favorable influence could suggest a move for educational or career growth, while Rahu could bring unexpected changes or travels, especially to foreign lands.
Rahu and Ketu – (Illusion and liberation)
The North Node’s Rahu and the South Node’s Ketu are linked to karma, migration, and foreign lands. Ketu can push toward spiritual or solitary travel, frequently to faraway countries that align with your past life lessons, while Rahu can encourage relocation.
Planetary movements – (The Orbiting)
Planetary movement refers to the movements of celestial bodies, particularly planets, around the stars.
Transition of Jupiter – (Growth and expansion)
Jupiter’s transitions often open doors to international or abroad travel, higher education, and new beginnings of life in a foreign land. When Jupiter transits a person's 9th house, which is the house of travel and higher wisdom, or forms a positive aspect with Jupiter, Moon, or Ascendant, it is extremely favorable to plan a move abroad.
Movements of Saturn – (Discipline and Restriction)
Saturn’s movements indicate serious, long-term decisions, even though it is frequently regarded as restrictive. A Saturn transit, especially one in the 4th or 9th houses of your family and home, can suggest a big move for a long time change.
Because the Moon is in charge of emotions, its transits and progressions frequently inspire people to move. You are compelled to lay a new foundation by Saturn, frequently in uncharted territory.
Influence of 4th and 12th house – (Home/emotions and isolation/spirituality)
A desire to relocate abroad may be indicated by a strong lunar influence on your 4th house, which represents your home, or your 12th house, which represents foreign lands and isolation.
Influence of Mercury – (Intellect and Communication)
Mercury is in charge of travel, contracts, and communication. Even though Mercury’s influence is usually more focused on short-term travel, good Mercury transits can make it easier to get visas, fill out paperwork, and keep in touch when you move to another country.
Places in the World to travel
Places to travel in the world based on your birth chart:
For adventure and learning
Exploration, higher education, foreign cultures, and spiritual wisdom are all areas of study in the 9th house. It stands for your pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement.
For example, you may be drawn to open, expansive landscapes or places known for freedom and philosophy, like Australia, Greece, or Peru, if your ninth house is ruled by Sagittarius or Jupiter for stimulating deep learning and growth.
For healing and peace
The 12th house is in charge of the invisible realm, which includes spiritual healing, dreams, intuition, and solitude. It is frequently linked to retreats or places of escape where one can rest and reestablish a connection with the divine.
If your 12th house is influenced by Neptune or Pisces, you might find comfort in lakes, oceans, or hazy, ethereal places like the Scottish Highlands, Bali, or Iceland. Spending time in these places is more about being than doing; it creates room for introspection, dreams, and profound personal rejuvenation.
For family and stability
Your roots - home, ancestry, family, and emotional stability, are symbolized by the 4th house. You can find places where you feel at home by traveling in harmony with this house, whether it's your ancestral home or a peaceful area of the world that provides emotional support.
You might be particularly drawn to small coastal towns, nurturing settings, or nations with strong family values, like Sweden, Japan, or Ireland, if your fourth house is associated with Cancer or the Moon. Traveling to locations that honor your roots or provide a more leisurely, domestic pace can help you feel more emotionally fulfilled and like you belong.
