Foreign Travel Yoga Calculator
Foreign travel is classically read from two houses — the **9th** (long journeys, higher learning abroad, foreign connections) and the **12th** (foreign lands specifically, and departure from one's home environment). This calculator scores both using a documented, transparent point system.
Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) · Documented point system across the 9th (long journeys, foreign connections) and 12th (foreign lands, life abroad) houses · Baseline 5/10; every point added or subtracted is attributable to a specific stated factor

The 9th vs. the 12th: Two Different Flavors of Travel
The 9th house points more toward travel connected to higher purpose — education, pilgrimage, expanding one's worldview — while the 12th points more toward literal departure and foreign residence. A chart strong in the 9th but not the 12th might favor frequent travel abroad without necessarily relocating, while the reverse pattern suggests the opposite emphasis.
Reading the Combined Score
This calculator combines both houses into one score for a general read on foreign-travel potential; for a more specific read on actually SETTLING abroad long-term rather than traveling, this site's dedicated Foreign Settlement Calculator narrows the focus specifically to the 12th house and its lord.
Travel Potential vs. Settlement Likelihood
A strong score here indicates classical support for meaningful foreign engagement generally — through travel, education, or connections — without necessarily implying permanent relocation, which is the more specific question the Foreign Settlement Calculator addresses.
