Foreign Travel Analysis — D4 Chaturthamsha

D-4 (Chaturthamsha): Foreign Travel Analysis

Houses for Foreign Travel (D-4)

• 7th, 9th, 12th = houses for going to distant places
• Badhakasthana = also important for foreign travel
  • Fixed lagna: 9th = Badhakasthana (Leo is fixed → 9th = Aries)
  • Leo lagna → 9th house (Aries) = doubly important: both 9th house AND Badhakasthana
• Watery signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) = favorable for foreign travel
• Jalapatana Sahasramam (lot for crossing oceans) = specific indicator
• Paradesha Sahasramam (lot for going to foreign lands) = specific indicator
• Primary karaka: Rahu; Secondary: Saturn and Ketu

Malefic in 4th House → Displacement

• Benefic in 4th house of D-4 → person stays where they are (comfortable)
• Malefic in 4th house of D-4 → person will leave (forced out or voluntarily displaced)
• Saturn in 4th house of D-4 + Saturn is 7th lord → movement to faraway place

Pratyantardasha Rule for Timing

• Mahadasha lord = one of several possible candidates
• Antardasha = fewer candidates; has to make more sense
• Pratyantardasha = must be the perfect match (during a few months, person's mind is fully focused on that specific event)
• The 9th house/9th lord is the most important for giving foreign travel result

In this chart: Rahu (Mahadasha) is 7th lord with Graha Drishti on 9th house + karaka for foreign travel. Venus (Antardasha) is with 12th lord Moon → gives Moon's results (12th = going away). Jupiter (Pratyantardasha) is in 9th house as 8th lord (instability, change) → perfect timing for departure with instability of moving
