Masters abroad or a job in India: talk to an astrologer who reads both your 9th and 10th houses
A master's abroad is usually a choice against a job or a career already started, so astrologers read the 10th house of work beside the 9th and 12th.

I have two years of work experience and an MS admit from the US. Should I leave my job and go, or is my chart better for staying?
Please share your birth date, time and place. I will read your 10th house and D10 for work, your 9th and 12th for study abroad, and the dasha over the next three years.
Short answer
Doing a master's abroad is read in Vedic astrology from the 9th house of higher learning, the 10th of work and livelihood, the 12th of distant lands, the D10 chart for career and the running dasha. The real question is often whether to leave a job or take a large loan. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read the chart by chat or call, online from anywhere.

What does an astrologer check for a master's degree abroad?
- The 10th house. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.11 reads livelihood, honour and foreign residence (pravasa) from the 10th, so it carries most of a master's question 1.
- The D10 chart. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 7.3 says the dashamsha (D10) shows great results (mahat phala), which astrologers read for career 2.
- The D24 chart. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 7.5 reads learning from the chaturvimshamsha (D24), for how the course itself may go 2.
- The 9th and 12th houses, for higher learning and distance from home, with the same rules as any study abroad reading.
- The dasha over the course and the year after it, since most master's students plan to work after graduating.
What changes the answer for a master's abroad?
- Whether you leave a job to go. With a job in hand, the astrologer weighs the 10th house running now against the 9th and 12th for the move.
- How large the loan is. A big education loan turns the question towards the 2nd and 11th houses of savings and gains, and a financial adviser.
- Whether the course gives work rights after it. Rules after graduation differ by country and change by date, so check the official site before the reading.
- Marriage and family plans. Many people weigh a master's against a wedding date or a parent's health, which brings the 7th or 4th house into the reading.
Are fewer Indians going abroad for a master's now?
Graduate study in the United States has started to shrink. The 2025 Open Doors report counted 4,88,481 graduate students from all countries in 2024-25, down 3% 3. Students on Optional Practical Training, work after a degree, rose 21% to 2,94,253 3.
Indian students were spread unevenly in 2024. The government told the Rajya Sabha that 3,37,630 Indian students were in the US and about 4,27,000 in Canada that year 5.
| Fact | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Graduate students from all countries in the US, 2024-25 | 4,88,481, down 3% | 3 |
| Students on post-study work (OPT) in the US, 2024-25 | 2,94,253, up 21% | 3 |
| Indian students in the US, 2024 | 3,37,630 | 5 |
| Indian students in Canada, 2024 | About 4,27,000 | 5 |
Some rules have eased for master's students. From 1 January 2026, master's and doctoral students at a public Canadian college no longer need a provincial attestation letter with a study permit application 4.
Money is the biggest risk. In the Canadian fake offer letter case, families usually paid the agent in cash and got no receipts, and students often learned on arrival that they had no admission 6. A Kismo astrologer can read your chart for timing and work; an astrologer cannot judge a course, a loan or an agent.
How do I decide between my job and a master's abroad?
Deciding between a job and a master's abroad works best as a short list of checks, with the chart as one line on it.
- Write down the total cost: fees, living costs and the loan's interest, and talk to a financial adviser about repayment.
- Check the course's post-study work rules on the country's official immigration site, with the date you read them.
- Ask your employer about study leave or a return option before you resign.
- Verify the admit directly with the university, never only through an agent's email.
- Read the chart for the dasha over the course and the year after, and treat it as one view among these.
The visa itself is a separate step, covered on the student visa page, and job offers after the course on jobs abroad.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: A strong 12th house means a master's abroad will pay off.
The 12th is read for distance and expense, not for a return on a degree. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra puts livelihood and foreign residence under the 10th house 1.
Belief: If you missed the right age for a master's abroad, the chart has closed the door.
No classical verse sets an age for higher study. Astrologers read the dasha you are in now, whether you are 23 or 33.
Before you pay anyone
How do you know an astrologer is genuine?
- Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: qualification review, panel interview, live audits of real sessions, 30-day probation.
- 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
Should I leave my job to do a master's abroad, according to my chart?
A chart can show how the next few years look for work and for study, but it cannot make the trade-off for you. Astrologers compare the 10th house and D10 for your current career with the 9th and 12th for the move. Weigh that against the loan, your savings and your employer's options.
Is doing an MS in the US still worth it for Indian students?
Whether an MS in the US is worth it depends on the course, cost and work rules, which keep changing. Graduate enrolment from all countries in the US fell 3% in 2024-25, while post-study work rose 21%. Check the official US government sites and talk to a financial adviser before borrowing.
Is 30 too late for a master's abroad in astrology?
No, astrology sets no age limit for higher study. Classical texts read learning from the 5th house and the D24 chart, not from age. At 30 an astrologer reads the dasha you are in and your 10th house, since you are usually weighing a career already under way.
Can the D10 chart tell me if a master's abroad will help my career?
The D10 chart is read for career, and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra says it shows great results. An astrologer can read whether the dasha after your course is strong for work in the D10. The chart cannot rank a university or predict a salary.
How long is a master's reading on Kismo, and what does it cost?
A master's abroad question usually needs a session long enough to read the 9th, 10th and 12th houses and the dasha together. On Kismo you pay the astrologer's own rate, from ₹15 a minute, and the first session carries 5 free minutes. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
An education consultant wants cash to secure my master's admit. Is that normal?
No, cash without a receipt for a promised admit is a warning sign. In a Canadian case, families paid an agent in cash and found out on arrival that the admissions were fake. Confirm the admit with the university, pay fees only through official channels, and report fraud on the cybercrime helpline 1930.
Can I ask about my master's abroad and marriage in the same session?
Yes, many astrologers read both, because a master's often clashes with a wedding date. The 7th house is read for marriage and the 9th, 10th and 12th for the course. On Kismo one astrologer can read both questions in a single chat or call, so bring both dates you are weighing.
