Why Am I Drawn to Foreign Countries?

Elsewhere as oxygen. Rahu, the ninth, the twelfth, the seventh — appetite, not a visa.

The map is more interesting than the street you are on. Elsewhere has better light in the imagination. People ask the chart whether they will settle abroad as if a node were a consulate.

What the sky is often doing

Rahu is often sketched as foreignness, the unprecedented, the taste for what the birth house did not serve. The ninth is long roads and teachers. The twelfth is exile, the far room, the unseen cost. The seventh can put the other in another country. Traditional notes mention foreign residence, pilgrimage, a spouse from elsewhere. CapSage will not treat any single placement as a guarantee of settlement. Plenty of loud ninths never leave. Plenty of quiet charts buy a ticket.

A passport is a document. A hunger for elsewhere is a climate. Only one of them gets you through an airport.

If you want to go, the work is visas, money, language, a job — professional realities the chart will not file. If you only want the feeling of not being from here, that is a different question, and it can be lived in the postcode. Let Rahu ride. Check the facts. Do not let a dasha sign the lease alone.
