In Vedic astrology, the house of foreign lands has a beautiful logic behind it. The fourth house is home, the homeland, and the mother. The twelfth house, the house of distant lands, is the ninth counted from the fourth. And the ninth is the house of fortune. So the twelfth is read as the fortune of leaving home.
Add Rahu, the outsider, and astrologers read a pull toward life abroad. A tendency, never a visa. See your own twelfth house with a free kundli at sunyra.ai.
