I have offers for September 2027 and January 2028. Which intake is the right time for me to go abroad for study?
Please share your birth date, time and place. I will check which dasha and antardasha run in late 2027 and early 2028, and where Jupiter and Saturn sit from your Moon in each month.
Short answer
The right time to go abroad for study is read in Vedic astrology from the running dasha and from Jupiter and Saturn transiting houses counted from your Moon. Phaladeepika reads Jupiter in the 9th from the Moon as a time of prosperity 2. The intake and visa dates fix the actual day. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read your timing by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about study abroad?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| The question | Which intake or year suits a move abroad for study, not whether to go at all |
| What the chart looks at | The running dasha and antardasha, Jupiter and Saturn transits from the Moon, Rahu and Ketu periods |
| Classical timing rule | Jupiter in the 9th from the Moon is read as a time of prosperity, in the 12th as grief over property 2 |
| Without a birth time | Many astrologers use prashna, a chart cast for the moment you ask the question |
| What fixes the real date | The college's intake, the application deadline and the visa processing time |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute with 5 free minutes in the first session, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What does an astrologer check to find the right time to study abroad?
- The running dasha and antardasha. A modern rule says foreign travel comes in the major or sub-period of the planets that form the travel combination in the chart 3.
- Ketu's and Rahu's periods. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 47.73 includes journeys to other countries among the results of Ketu's period 1.
- Jupiter's transit from the Moon. Phaladeepika 26.1 says transits are judged from the Moon sign, and 26.2 names the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th as Jupiter's good houses 2.
- Obstruction (vedha). Phaladeepika 26.7 says Jupiter's good transits hold only if the 12th, 8th, 10th, 4th and 3rd from the Moon are empty of planets 2.
- Saturn's transit. Phaladeepika 26.23 reads Saturn in the 12th from the Moon as tiring, fruitless work, so astrologers watch it over the first months abroad 2.
- The real calendar. The astrologer reads only the months your intake, deadline and visa processing actually allow.
What changes the right time to go abroad for study?
- How many intakes you can choose from. With one fixed September intake, the reading can only say how that period looks; with two or three intakes, it can compare them.
- Whether your birth time is known. A dasha date moves with the Moon's exact position, so a missing time pushes many astrologers towards prashna instead.
- Which dasha changes near your intake. A new antardasha starting a few months before or after the term changes which planet the astrologer reads first.
- Whether the rules change before you apply. A visa or work rule with a fixed start date can matter more than any transit.
When do Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu change sign between 2026 and 2029?
Jupiter changes sidereal sign ten times between 2026 and 2029, because of its retrograde loops. The dates below were calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library, with a Lahiri-style ayanamsa, so a panchang may differ by a day 4.
| Date (IST) | Planet | Enters |
|---|---|---|
| 2 June 2026 | Jupiter | Cancer |
| 31 October 2026 | Jupiter | Leo |
| 5 December 2026 | Rahu | Capricorn |
| 25 January 2027 | Jupiter | Cancer (retrograde) |
| 3 June 2027 | Saturn | Aries |
| 26 June 2027 | Jupiter | Leo |
| 20 October 2027 | Saturn | Pisces (retrograde) |
| 26 November 2027 | Jupiter | Virgo |
| 23 February 2028 | Saturn | Aries |
| 28 February 2028 | Jupiter | Leo (retrograde) |
| 24 June 2028 | Rahu | Sagittarius |
| 24 July 2028 | Jupiter | Virgo |
| 26 December 2028 | Jupiter | Libra |
| 29 March 2029 | Jupiter | Virgo (retrograde) |
| 8 August 2029 | Saturn | Taurus |
| 25 August 2029 | Jupiter | Libra |
| 5 October 2029 | Saturn | Aries (retrograde) |
Read by Moon sign, Jupiter sits in the 9th from the Moon for 397 days of 2026-2029 for a Capricorn Moon, 386 for Sagittarius, 304 for Scorpio, 222 for Aquarius and 152 for Libra. The other seven Moon signs get no such days in these four years.
What do classical texts say about the timing of a journey abroad?
Classical texts time events by dasha first and by transit second. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra chapter 47 lists what each planet's period brings, and verse 73 includes journeys to other countries in Ketu's period 1.
Phaladeepika chapter 26 adds transits, always counted from the Moon sign 2. Sloka 20 reads Jupiter in the 9th from the Moon as a time to enjoy all prosperity, and Jupiter in the 12th as grief and fear over property 2.
That reverses a common idea. Many people wait for Jupiter in the 12th, the house of distant lands, while the transit chapter reads that position as a hard one 2. Modern columns, not the classical texts, link travel to the dashas of the planets in the travel combination 3.
| Timing factor | What the text says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Ketu's period | Journeys to other countries among its results | BPHS 47.73 1 |
| Jupiter in the 9th from the Moon | Prosperity | Phaladeepika 26.20 2 |
| Jupiter in the 12th from the Moon | Grief and fear over property | Phaladeepika 26.20 2 |
| Saturn in the 12th from the Moon | Wearied by fruitless work | Phaladeepika 26.23 2 |
| Dasha of the travel planets | Travel happens in their major or sub-period | Modern column 3 |
Which real deadlines matter for students going abroad in 2026 and 2027?
Real rule changes with fixed dates matter for timing as much as any transit. These come from the countries' own government pages; check them again before you apply. The student visa page covers the visa itself.
September 2025
Canada had about 7,25,000 study permit holders, down from over 10 lakh in January 2024, by IRCC's count 6.
31 December 2026
Last day to apply for a two-year UK Graduate visa after a bachelor's or master's degree 5.
1 January 2027
UK Graduate visas applied for from this date last 18 months; PhD graduates still get 3 years 5.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: You should only leave when Jupiter transits your 12th house.
Phaladeepika 26.20 reads Jupiter in the 12th from the Moon as grief and fear over property, and the 9th as prosperity 2. Many astrologers weigh the dasha before any transit.
Belief: If Jupiter is not in a good house from your Moon until 2029, you have to wait.
Phaladeepika judges transits after the birth chart and dasha, not instead of them 2. Seven of the twelve Moon signs get no Jupiter days in the 9th in 2026-2029, by the calculation above.

Questions people ask
Is 2027 a good year for me to go abroad for studies according to astrology?
Whether 2027 suits you depends on your own dasha and your Moon sign, not on the year itself. Jupiter moves between Cancer, Leo and Virgo in 2027 and Saturn enters Aries in June, so each Moon sign gets a different picture. An astrologer reads those transits against your running period.
Which dasha is good for going abroad to study?
No single dasha is good for every chart. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra includes journeys to other countries in Ketu's period, and modern astrologers look at the periods of the 12th, 9th and 4th lords and Rahu. What matters is which of these planets form a travel combination in your own chart.
Can an astrologer tell me the best intake, fall or spring, for my study abroad plan?
Yes, an astrologer can compare the periods and transits running at each intake you can really choose. The reading compares windows, it cannot pick a date the college does not offer. Choose between intakes that fit your marks, money and test scores, then use the chart to compare them.
I don't know my birth time. Can I still ask when I will go abroad?
Yes, through prashna, a chart cast for the moment you ask the question, which many astrologers use for timing when the birth time is unknown. Jupiter's and Saturn's transits from your Moon sign can also be read from the birth date alone, unless the Moon changed sign that day.
Can I ask a Kismo astrologer to compare two intakes, and what will it cost?
Yes, a Kismo astrologer can compare two or three intakes in one session, at the astrologer's own rate from ₹15 a minute. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. The first session has 5 free minutes, and only the minutes you use leave the wallet.
An astrologer says I must do a remedy before my visa date or I will be rejected. Is that true?
No, treat that as a red flag. A remedy cannot decide a visa, and fear about a deadline is a common way to push people into paying. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual. On Kismo, pressure to pay or a request for money outside the app is handled as misconduct by a person.
Does Saturn's transit in 2027 affect my plan to study abroad?
Saturn enters Aries in June 2027 and steps back into Pisces from October 2027 to February 2028, by the calculation on this page. Phaladeepika reads Saturn in the 12th from the Moon as tiring work, which applies to a Taurus Moon in Aries months. Your own chart and dasha decide how much it matters.
