Overseas
journey is indicated by
the sub-lord of the 12th
cusp. The 12th cusp has
to be related to the 3rd
and the 9th cusps; also
the 12th house itself
should have good positional
strength.
Today, every individual
looks forward to a foreign
assignment. As per the
Parasara system, the houses
3, 9 and 12 signify travel.
My research has shown
that the 8th house also
plays a very important
role in deciding travel
abroad. The 8th house,
is the 11th from the 10th.
If we go into the scriptures
of the past, associations
of the 8th house and travel
abroad are always signified
as ‘Kala Pani’,
‘ Desh Nikala’
or to be deported across
the ocean. i.e. at that
time, it meant that being
displaced from the place
where you are born and
wandering in foreign lands
was not a very happy situation,
which was related to the
value systems. The 8th
house and its association
with other houses like
the 4th (for leaving family
behind) and the 7th (for
being separated from wife)
need to be analysed.
For deciphering the Astro
indicators for foreign
assignment, let us study
a horoscope as per the
K.P.System.
According to the KP system,
overseas journey is indicated
by the sub-lord of the
12th cusp. The 12th cusp
has to be related to the
3rd and the 9th cusps;
also the 12th house itself
should have good positional
strength.
In
the above chart, the sub-lord
of the 12th cusp is Jupiter.
He is the lord of the
3rd and the 6th, posited
in its own constellation.
Therefore, the sub-lord
of the 12th cusp is a
significator of the 3rd,
6th and the 1st houses.
Jupiter aspects the 9th
aspect. The native, therefore,
is fortunate and will
go abroad.
Purpose of travel
The purpose for which
he will go abroad has
to be ascertained from
the lord of the 6th house
(i.e. 9th from the 10th
house and the 11th from
the 8th house). Here,
this again is Jupiter
and is posited in its
own star. This shows that
the native will go abroad
on an assignment. The
native left abroad for
a job, offered by a foreign
firm.
3, 9 and 12 bhavas
Sun is in its own star,
in the 3rd bhava. No planet
is in the constellation
of Jupiter (3rd and 6th
lord), Mercury and Mars.
Ketu alone is in the Sign
of Mars.
No planet is in the 9th
bhava. Jupiter aspects
the 9th.
· 12th bhava
is occupied by Moon. Rahu
is in the star of Moon
lord of the 12th cusp
is Mercury. No planet
is in the star of Mercury.
Sun, Jupiter, Mercury,
Mars, Rahu and Moon have
helped the native on his
foreign journey.
The native left for abroad
on 15 January 1976. At
that time, he was running
Jupiter dasa, Rahu Antara,
Rahu Pratyantara and Jupiter
Sookshma. Both Jupiter
and Rahu associated with
3, 9 and 12.
Transits on 15
January 1976, the day
of journey.
Dasa lord Jupiter was
transiting in pisces,
with fortunate trine aspect
to its natal position.
He is in the star of Mercury
and the sub of Mars.
Antar (Bukthi) lord Rahu
was in Libra conjoining
with the natal Jupiter,
and posited in the star
of Jupiter, in mercury
sub.
The day was ruled by Jupiter.
Moon was transiting in
Arudra, Rahu’s star
on that day.
