I have applied for a job in Germany and my family also wants me to try Canada. I keep asking myself if going abroad is even in my kundli. What does my chart show?
It is a big step, and it makes sense to think it through. Please share your date, time and place of birth. In Vedic astrology I read your 12th and 9th houses, Rahu and the period you are running now. The visa and the job offer are decided by the employer and the embassy, so keep those steps going.
Short answer
You can talk to an astrologer about going abroad with your date, time and place of birth. In Vedic astrology the 12th, 9th, 7th, 4th and 3rd houses, Rahu and the running dasha are read for travel and living far from home. The visa itself is decided by the destination country, so its official website and a licensed adviser come first. On Kismo, verified astrologers answer online from anywhere in India and abroad.

What does an astrologer check when you ask about going abroad?
An astrologer reads a question about going abroad from the houses of journeys and distance, then from Rahu and the period running now. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
- The 3rd and 7th houses of journeys. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (chapter 11, verses 4 and 8) names journeys among the matters of both houses 1.
- The 9th house of fortune and pilgrimage. The same chapter (verse 10) reads fortune, dharma and pilgrimages from the 9th, the house many astrologers use for long journeys 1.
- The 10th house. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.11 lists pravasa, living away from home, under the 10th house beside livelihood and honour 1.
- The 12th house. The text reads expenditure and loss from the 12th (11.13); modern astrologers add foreign residence to it, which is practice, not the verse 13.
- Rahu. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 47.38 links a well-placed Rahu's period with honour from foreign (videsha) rulers, the root of reading Rahu as foreign 2.
- The 4th house of home. Modern columns read an afflicted 4th house as leaving one's birthplace, and the dasha of the planets involved as the timing 3.
The old texts and modern practice do not use the same houses. The verses put living away from home in the 10th and journeys in the 3rd, 7th and 9th, while most modern astrologers start from the 12th 13. Ask your astrologer which rule they follow.
Which abroad problems can an astrologer help with?
- Settling abroad
For settling abroad for good: the astrologer reads the 12th, 9th and 4th houses, Rahu and the dasha, while PR and residence stay with the destination country's immigration rules.
- Visa problems
For a visa that was refused or is stuck: the astrologer reads the period running and the months ahead, never the officer's decision, which belongs with the embassy and a licensed adviser.
- Study abroad
For studying abroad: the astrologer adds the 4th and 5th houses of learning to the 9th and 12th, as one input beside admissions, money and the student visa rules.
- Job abroad
For a job overseas, including the Gulf: the astrologer reads the 10th house of work with the houses of distance, and the offer itself is checked on eMigrate and with the employer.
- Returning to India
For coming back home or caring for ageing parents: the astrologer reads the 4th house of home and mother and the running period, as you weigh family, work and money.
How many Indians live abroad, and what do they face?
About 3.73 crore people of Indian origin live outside India. The Ministry of External Affairs counted 1,77,60,528 non-resident Indians and 1,95,20,317 persons of Indian origin in January 2026 4. The Gulf alone holds large numbers: 27.5 lakh Indians in Saudi Arabia, 10.4 lakh in Kuwait, 8.3 lakh in Qatar and 6.8 lakh in Oman 4.
Families back home feel the move in money. Indians working abroad sent home a record $129.4 billion in 2024, by Reserve Bank of India figures, the most of any country 5. The same report puts Mexico second at $68 billion 5.
Leaving for studies has slowed. By Bureau of Immigration figures given in the Rajya Sabha, Indians going abroad for higher education fell from over 9.08 lakh in 2023 to 7.7 lakh in 2024 and 6.26 lakh in 2025 6. Tighter visa rules in the main destination countries are part of the reason.
Fake agents are a real risk. The External Affairs ministry told the Lok Sabha in August 2024 that 3,042 fake job agents had been identified across India, 498 of them in Andhra Pradesh 7. A registered recruiting agent can be checked on the eMigrate portal, and complaints about an employer or agent abroad go to the MADAD portal 8.
Help exists on both sides of the border. The Overseas Workers Resource Centre answers 24 hours on toll-free 1800-11-3090, Indian missions run their own helplines, and online fraud is reported on 1930 89. For loneliness or stress, Tele-MANAS on 14416 is free, open 24 hours and speaks 20 Indian languages 10.

- Nobody can guarantee an outcome. Treat any promise of a fixed result as a red flag.
- Never pay for an expensive puja or ritual under pressure. Get a second opinion first.
- On Kismo you only pay for the minutes you use; misconduct, pressure or a request for money outside the app is handled by a person.

Questions people ask
Can I talk to an astrologer online about going abroad?
Yes, a question about going abroad works fully online, since it needs only your birth details and a clear question. You can talk to an astrologer about settling, studying or working abroad on Kismo, where verified Vedic astrologers answer by chat or call from anywhere in India and abroad. Keep the date, time and place of birth ready, and say which country you are thinking of.
Which house in my kundli is for going abroad?
Most modern astrologers start from the 12th house for living abroad and the 9th for long journeys. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra itself puts journeys in the 3rd and 7th houses and pravasa, living away from home, in the 10th, while reading the 12th for expenditure and loss. Ask your astrologer which rule they use, since two readings can differ for that reason alone.
Which planet is responsible for foreign settlement?
Rahu is the planet most astrologers link with foreign lands and foreign people. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra links Rahu's period, when it is well placed, with honour from foreign rulers. Modern columns also name the Moon, especially in a watery sign such as Cancer or Pisces. No single planet decides it; astrologers read the houses, their lords and the dasha together.
Can an astrologer tell me if my visa will be approved?
No, a visa is decided by the immigration department of the country you apply to, not by a chart. An astrologer can read which periods the texts link with travel and change, and help you think about timing. For the visa itself, use the official government website of that country and, if you need help, a licensed immigration adviser. Treat anyone who promises approval as a red flag.
Is it a bad sign if my chart shows no foreign yoga?
No, and the rules are looser than they sound. Many so-called foreign yogas are modern rules, not classical ones, and so common that most charts meet at least one of them. Your plans, skills and the visa rules of the country matter more. An astrologer can show you which rule they are reading.
How much does a consultation about going abroad cost on Kismo?
A consultation about going abroad on Kismo starts from ₹15 a minute, one rate for chat and call set by each astrologer. You pay from a wallet with a minimum top-up of ₹100, billed per started minute, and only the minutes you use are charged. The first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed, enough to share birth details and ask one question.
How do I spot a fake astrologer or agent promising a visa?
A fake promise sounds like a sure visa, a 'visa puja' for a fee, a costly stone, or an agent who wants cash before any paperwork. A genuine astrologer explains the reading and sends you to the official government site for the visa. Check any job agent on the eMigrate portal, report online fraud on 1930, and get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
My birth time is unknown. Can an astrologer still read my chances of moving overseas?
Yes, partly. Without a birth time the houses cannot be fixed, so some astrologers cast prashna, a chart for the moment you ask, and read your question from it. Others read from the Moon sign, which the date usually gives. The house rules for travel need the time, so a reading without it is broader and less precise.
I live abroad and feel very lonely. Can an astrologer help?
An astrologer can listen and read the period you are in, but loneliness far from home deserves real support too. Tele-MANAS on 14416 is free, open 24 hours and speaks 20 Indian languages, and Indian missions abroad run their own helplines. On Kismo you can talk to an astrologer in your own language from any country, by chat or call, at any hour.
