Foreign Travel Analysis — D4 Chaturthamsha
The D4 (Chaturthamsha) for home, property, and displacement. Houses for foreign travel: 7th, 9th, 12th, and Badhakasthana. Malefic in 4H of D4 → person leaves home. Rahu + Saturn + Ketu as primary karakas. Pratyantardasha must perfectly match. Sahamas (Jalapatana, Paradesha) as confirmation tools.
"Most of the correct predictions I made to people were based on this technique."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao

D4 Lagna: Leo. Saturn (7L) in 4H of D4 → displacement to faraway place. Rahu MD → Rahu is 7L with graha drishti on 9H + karaka for foreign. Venus AD (12L) + Jupiter PD (in 9H) → perfect three-tier confirmation for moving to USA in 1985.

D-4 (Chaturthamsha): Foreign Travel Analysis
Houses for Foreign Travel (D-4)
- 7th, 9th, 12th = houses for going to distant places
- Badhakasthana = also important for foreign travel
- Fixed lagna: 9th = Badhakasthana (Leo is fixed → 9th = Aries)
- Leo lagna → 9th house (Aries) = doubly important: both 9th house AND Badhakasthana
- Watery signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) = favorable for foreign travel
- Jalapatana Sahasramam (lot for crossing oceans) = specific indicator
- Paradesha Sahasramam (lot for going to foreign lands) = specific indicator
- Primary karaka: Rahu; Secondary: Saturn and Ketu
Malefic in 4th House → Displacement
- Benefic in 4th house of D-4 → person stays where they are (comfortable)
- Malefic in 4th house of D-4 → person will leave (forced out or voluntarily displaced)
- Saturn in 4th house of D-4 + Saturn is 7th lord → movement to faraway place
Pratyantardasha Rule for Timing
- Mahadasha lord = one of several possible candidates
- Antardasha = fewer candidates; has to make more sense
- Pratyantardasha = must be the perfect match (during a few months, person's mind is fully focused on that specific event)
- The 9th house/9th lord is the most important for giving foreign travel result
In this chart: Rahu (Mahadasha) is 7th lord with Graha Drishti on 9th house + karaka for foreign travel. Venus (Antardasha) is with 12th lord Moon → gives Moon's results (12th = going away). Jupiter (Pratyantardasha) is in 9th house as 8th lord (instability, change) → perfect timing for departure with instability of moving
