Planetary Combinations for Foreign Travel

***************************************************
1. Lagna/Lagna lord in a moveable sign/dual signs: if the lagna and lagna lord both are in
moveable signs ( 1,4,7,10) or dual signs (3,6,9,12) 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 the 12th house. 9th house indicates foreign
travel. 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.
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. 4th house is the significator of home so natural malefics (Sun. Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Saturn) in the
4th house will take a person away from home. Malefic in the 4th house indicates unhappiness
from home so it will take him away from home to give him unhappiness as a result of staying
away from home
6. Same rule applies to the 2nd house of family. i.e malefics (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu, Sun) in
the 2nd house will result in the person leaving his family. Malefic in the 2nd house has to make
the person unhappy in regard to family matters so it will take him away from family to suffer
detachment from family.
Note:- The last 2 points will give foreign travel if some of the other points indicating foreign travel
are there. Otherwise the person will stay at home suffer due to the effects of the malefic.
If 2 of the first 4 points are fulfilled there are strong chances of foreign travel otherwise there is a
weak chance.
The dasha of 7th, 9th or 12th lord, or of planets connected (mutual aspect, conjunction, mutual
exchange, aspect) with 7th house/lord, 9th house/lord, 12th house/lord indicates foreign travel.
Dasha of Rahu also indicates foreign travel as rahu is a significator of foreign country. Dasha of
Jupiter can also indicate foreign travel as Jupiter is the 9th and 12th sign (9th and 12th houses
are foreign travel) of the Kaalpurush zodiac (natural zodiac).
****Also, Badhakesh/Badhaka sthana shows problems living in own home country. So in its
dasha, a person may have to leave home country.
Most of the astrologers consider Badhakesh as malefic but in case of foreign travel or foreign
residence,Badhakesh actually gives a favourable opportunity in its dashas.
According to Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra, the bible of Vedic astrology, defines Badhakshana as
follows :"For all movable signs, the 11th house therefrom is the badhaka sthana, For all fixed signs, the
9th therefrom are their badhakasthana and for all the dual signs, the 7th therefrom are their
badkasthanas."
Thus for the 12 signs of the zodiac, the badhakasthanas are:
1. Aries: Aquarius

2. Taurus: Capricorn
3. Gemini: Sagittarius
4. Cancer: Taurus
5. Leo: Aries
6. Virgo: Pisces
7. Libra: Leo
8. Scorpio: Cancer
9. Sagittarius: Gemini
10. Capricorn: Scorpio
11. Aquarius: Libra
12. Pisces: Virgo
Badhak the word literally means to Obstruct meaning oppressing, harassing, paining, opposing ,
hindering, injuring, prejudicing from the root verb 'baadh' meaning to press , force, drive away,
repel , remove.
