I was quite inactive on reddit since past few days, because I was stuck in some urgent work, but then I felt I should definitely write a post on one of my most asked questions which is, foreign settlement/foreign travel. I get this question frequently, through many young peeps to check if they will go to a different country and for what purpose. So let's decode this using vedic astrology : 

Firstly, foreign travel can be due to study, business, marriage, pilgrimage and job, the houses which shows the following karak tatvas should be checked in connection to 12th house, 8th house and 9th house too.

Houses responsible for foreign travel :

1) 3rd house - small trips, neighbouring countries or even inter city, inter state travels (in astrology even a city away from your birthplace is considered foreign, but this is particularly shown via 3rd house)

2)7th house - connection with foreigners or foreign travel

3)9th house - Pilgrimage, good journey or foreign travel due to education. 

4) 12th house - Proper foreign settlement that too showing a country change not just city change.

Planets responsible for foreign travel/settlement, if they are in 12th/9th/3rd houses or aspecting them:

1)Rahu - Shows foreign culture, foreign travel and foreign  country, if rahu is in your 12th/9th/3rd house it shows changing of countries, or simply going there as a tourist or coming back and forth to native country and going to foreign country. 

2)Saturn - A very good planet for foreign settlement who gives you settlement in a delayed manner (mostly after 40 and in 2nd inning of life), but once you go there he settles you comfortably.

3)Jupiter - Foreign settlement through education or due to pure 'luck'.

4) Venus - Settling in a foreign place wil give rise in comfort and lifestyle, along with increased disposable income and also in good developed countries that signify 'luxury'.

5) Mercury - Foreign travel for the sake of business, job or for media and community  

6)Moon - Attachment or 'wishing' to go to a foreign country or place and also changing the environment. 

7)Sun - Going to foreign for the purpose of either government work or some official trips/business trips.

8) Mars - A very good planet for foreign settlement, makes you permanently settle their via job and also quickens the settlement process.

Yogs showing foreign settlement and travel : 

1) Connection of Lagna and 12th house - both the lords conjuctinh together, or exchanging signs or in each other's houses, creates a strong possibility in Settling in a different country.

2) Parivartan yog between 9th and 12th house - such a native goes to foreign country in a relatively easy manner, mostly for education purpose and foreign travel also leads to his growth in life. Luck favours the most in this case as the bhagya sthan gets connected 

3)Gajakesari yog of 12th house - Happy and fulfilling journey to a foreign country, with co-operation and support from elders or some authority.

Along with this, strong and well placed lords of 12th house and 9th house is also a positive sign, along wihth favourable dasha and antardasha period.

Personally speaking, after verifying the above details I also verify using prashna kundali as well as checking the same using divisional charts too, to finally arrive at a prediction, but if you have any of these sings then that's also a very positive sign.

As this post got pretty long, in the next post we will discuss about how to identify which foreign country you will settle in, so stay tuned! And till then you can share your placements with me in the comments, I will try my best to answer.
