Foreign relocation combinations

Introduction

Do you have combinations in your chart that can lead you to live in a foreign place? “Foreign” does not necessarily mean another country. In a large country, it can mean living within your home country but far away from your place of birth.

The career houses

Why do people relocate? The most common reason is for the sake of one's career. If that is your reason, examine the sixth, tenth and eleventh houses and identify their rulers in the main chart.

If those house rulers fall in the ninth or twelfth house, there's every chance of career-related relocation.

The logic in D9 and D10

You must extend this logic to the divisional charts too. The rulers you've identified from the main chart, identify their position in the D9 Navamsha and the D10 Dashamsha chart, and if there too you find them placed either in the ninth or the twelfth house in either one of those charts, then that strengthens your case for relocation.

You can also do an isolated analysis of the divisional charts by identifying the rulers of the sixth, tenth and eleventh in those charts in isolation, and checking if they fall either in the ninth or twelfth house. If that happens, it further strengthens the possibility of you relocating.

Other reasons people relocate

The other reason people end up relocating is due to circumstances. When you're very young, your parents might be relocating, or circumstances have pushed you: a natural disaster, the sake of your children, or relocating just for the sake of relocating if you're a digital nomad.

In that case, identify the ruler of the fourth house. If the ruler of the fourth house falls in the ninth or twelfth house, it's very likely you're going to build your home in a place far, far away.

The eighth house and relocation

Two more houses are relevant. The eighth house is the house of changes. If the fourth-house ruler is in the eighth house and you are going through the Dasha of the ruler of the fourth house, there's every chance of a change of residence.

The third house and Ketu

If the ruler of the fourth house falls in the third house, then the third house would be the twelfth house from the fourth house. That can result in you losing your home identity and becoming detached from your home culture. The same can be explained if Ketu is found in the fourth house.

These are signs that you're largely going to remain detached from your home culture, the culture associated with your place of birth.

Boris Johnson's chart

All of this is just theory unless we apply it in a real example. Consider Boris Johnson, the former British Prime Minister. He has Ketu in the fourth house.

A lesser-known fact about him is that he was born in New York, and he built his entire life in England after he turned five. Ketu in the fourth has detached him from his home culture, which is the culture of New York.

The career ruler's pattern

If you study the tenth house in this chart, the ruler of the tenth house is in the ninth house. Immediately, we see that his career and professional identity would be built in a foreign place.

Similarly, in the D10 chart, I again find Mercury, the ruler of the tenth in the main chart, in the twelfth house. This further confirms that he was meant to build his life permanently in a foreign place.

Albert Einstein's chart is another example of these relocation combinations and of when he moved based on the Dashas.
