Frequently asked
Which house shows foreign settlement?
The 12th house is central, but long settlement also needs 4th house displacement, 9th house travel and dasha support.
Does Rahu always mean foreign travel?
Not always. Rahu can show foreign influence, technology, ambition or unconventional direction depending on placement.
Can astrology show visa delay?
It can point to periods of obstruction or support for foreign travel, especially through 6th, 9th and 12th house timing, but approval depends on your documents and the authorities.
