Many youngsters across the globe aspire and dream of studying abroad, especially from third world countries. There is a big checklist as to what all need to be thought of and done when someone wants to study abroad. First let us see astrologically whether we can know that someone can go abroad to study.

Education and Planet Mercury

The Karaka for education is Mercury. It should be well placed in its own house, exaltation, friends house (or) atleast a neutral house. It should not be conjunct or aspected by the malefic which might undermine one’s efforts to study. Mercury should be placed in the Kendra or Trikona from Lagna. As an exception, it can also be placed in the 8^th house when conjunct with Sun and both the planets to be benefics for the Lagna. If the well placed Mercury is in conjunction with the benefic and natural friend, then it might enhance the quality of education. If the well placed Mercury is aspected by a benefic planet, then positive results will be manifold.

Education and houses from Lagna

The following houses from Lagna stand for different levels of education that one pursues

2^nd house – primary education

4^th house – upto graduation

5^th house – Post graduation and the like

9^th house – Research and super speciality

These houses play a definite role in enhancing one’s chances for higher studies. In reality, we see someone not doing well in education and becomes a successful research scholar because of the effect of strong 9^th house. Both Dasa/Bhukthi and transits of major planets are also to be favourable for successful education attainments.

Education abroad

Many questions come in mind of students who want to study abroad. The chances of studying abroad can be found from the study of horoscope. Ample evidence will be found if we analyze the various planetary positions and strengths of each house.

In addition to the houses that we have discussed earlier, the 3^rd and 12^th Lord also has a vital role to play. Remember 3^rd house will be 12^th from the 4^th house which is responsible for education. Several other study like research, technical education, etc. can also be found.

Houses pertaining to foreign education

This aspect can be analyzed through 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 9^th and 12^th houses. Aspects of settling abroad are studied from 3^rd, 4^th, 7^th, 9^th and 12^th house in a horoscope. The aspirations of a person may be accomplished if these houses can match up.

Important houses

4^th house is considered to be Karaka, the 2^nd for speech and communication and to reach higher education, the 9^th house also. Travelling abroad for education has got to do with 3^rd and 12^th houses. If they are strong and the respective Rasi Lords are also well placed, then the person can sustain himself well abroad. Rahu is a planet for travel if he is well placed in the 2^nd, 4^th, 7^th, 9^th and 12^th. If Rahu is also conjunct with Lords of the above houses and well placed then also there is likelihood of travel abroad. Similarly, a connection between 5^th and 12^th Lord also makes a native to study in a foreign land. If the placement of Lord of 9^th is placed in 12^th house, then the native goes to the overseas country for studies. As per the Prashna chart, the 9^th and 4^th cuspal sub lord hint towards overseas education.

Dasa Bhukthi 

When the main period or sub period of the lords of houses and depositors of house we discussed are running, then the native may go abroad for study. Also the transit of major planets like Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu will also enable a foreign travel. 

There are various areas a student needs to take care when he wants to study abroad. Some of them are

1. Finance for the trips
2. Arranging for travel documents
3. Physical fitness
4. Arranging for insurance
5. Accultarisation, adjusting with the new society
6. Decision making about quality of life/life style
7. To manage emergencies
8. Staying in touch with family and friends
9. Find out how to find appropriate university and course

All the above aspects will fall in place if the planets and houses that we talked are well placed. Study and travel abroad is an interesting subject from the astrological point of view. Those students who aspire to travel abroad may consult an Astrologer for their own benefit.
