Going abroad and moving to a foreign land is generally construed as a huge upliftment especially from an Indian context but however transcending back in time centuries ago that wasn't really the case. Back in the good old days, if a person wasn't able to stay in the place of his birth, it was referred to as 'Paradesam'. It was seen like as if the individual was relegated to a backward position and moving out meant that he didn't have the requisite fortune to enjoy the fruits of his homeland. He was seen as a 'Paradesi' which when translated loosely refers to a stranger or wanderer indicating movement and to put it curtly not blessed to reap the rewards from his home land. This is however a far cry from the meaning witnessed in today's day & age where anything associated with a foreign settlement is seen with pride and a sense of achievement.
When it comes to Vedic Astrology, quite a number of houses are referred in relation with foreign or abroad with the 12th house being the foremost followed by few other houses such as 10th house, 7th house, 9th house, 3rd house and even 8th house. Let's take a look at how most of these house impact and come into play when we talk about moving away from our place of birth.
12th House:
Why is the 12th house pretty important from the context of 'foreign'? For this we need to understand an underlying meaning about the Lagna Bhava and from that the effect of 12th will make more sense. The Lagna Bhava or Ascendant is the position of the zodiac which rises in the eastern direction at the time of birth. Hence the 1st house is essentially considered as the place of birth. The 12th house from any house is said to denote negation or loss to that particular house. Thus in essence the 1st house denotes our physical self and the 12th from the 1st house which is the 12th house tells us about going away from our physical standpoint. So in general any foreign place will come within the ambit of 12th house as it's basically the loss of the first house of physical existence.
10th House and 7th House:
Now, coming to why other houses get linked in the framework of foreign. The single most prime determinant of 10th House happens to be 'Profession' and if at all there is a reason for moving to a foreign place especially for permanent or temporary settlement it would obviously most likely be only connected to profession. When we go for foreign trips or honeymoons or pilgrimages etc we often return back within a stipulated period but only when it comes to work/migration we end up staying for a longer duration. The 7th house can be linked from a marital angle where a person after marriage may end up moving to another land. However the inherent holding reason of why the 10th and 7th house come into the picture is essentially a play work of how the sky is mapped and zodiac is defined. We have already corroborated the Lagna or 1st House to denote our place of birth. The 1st house denotes East and the farthest point from the East is the West which will end up falling in the 7th house. Since 1st house denotes physical place, it clearly indicates 7th to be farthest place much akin to east and west being placed opposite to each other. Now 4th house happens to be everything connected to home and your domestic environment. Applying similar logic, the 7th from the 4th happens to be the 10th house which logically showcases 10th house to be the farthest from home.
9th House and 3rd House:
Many a time these 2 houses also come into the fold. The reason is because 9th house denotes long distance travels whereas 3rd house indicates short journeys. The 9th also demonstrates higher education and pilgrimages. For education purposes it is plausible of moving away from homeland but however it doesn't really indicate a settlement and of course when it comes to divine pilgrims it's definitely only for a stipulated period of time where you're bound to return back. The 3rd is to do with short travels and can be clubbed under the category of fortnightly foreign trips for official purpose with regard to employment or unofficially via an enjoyment trip with friends. And likewise a honeymoon is also a short journey indicating a 3rd house characteristic.
8th House:
The reason largely to the reference of 8th house is because 8th from any house indicates problems to that house and being 8th from the 1st house, it may indicate that a person is better off moving away from his comfort zone. Hence the 8th also indirectly plays a role in moving to a far off place.
Thus, we see a number of houses coming into the framework when looked at the realm of moving away from birth place. Apart from all these houses, movable and strong water dominated signs also come into the fray and in general planets like the nodes and retro grade planets connote a strong away from home connection. Hence with just a placement such as Lagna Lord going to 12th house denoting a foreign settlement may end up being a futile exercise. We need to look deeper also factoring the Desh Kaal Patra (Place, Time, Individual) in understanding if a promise of moving away from homeland exists. Thus, let's briefly summarize the houses and their connection to foreign movement.
12th House - Denotes loss to the 1st house of physical existence. Also signifies "Going to another place".
10th House - Farthest house from 4th house of Home and Domestic Environment. Also signifies Profession and hence can be inferred as working in a distant land away from home.
7th House - Farthest house from 1st house of physical existence. Also signifies journey. Is also the house of marriage and hence can be linked to going away to another land after marriage culmination.
9th House - Indicates Long distance travels. Can be in the form of higher education or a pilgrimage.
3rd House - Indicates short journeys. Can be as a trip with friends & family or a honeymoon to another destination.
8th House - Denotes problems to the 1st house of physical existence. Could mean moving away from comfort zone as problems might be inevitable in physical environment of birth location.
