International Travel

[Guest guest]

Here's my attempt to answer my own question regarding seeing a fixed

Taurus in the 12th house of a person who I know to be an extensive

international relocator...

 

" As a blanket statement, Gemini’s tend to travel more than people with

other rising signs. Let’s see how the rest of your chart factors in.

International travel has it’s focal point on the 12th house. The sign

of this house is Taurus which normally would not indicate much

international movement because Taurus is a steady, earthy sign.

 

Bear in mind that Vedic culture considered international travel to be

an inauspicious, burdensome thing. Therefore the weaker the 12th

House, the more likelyhood of international travel. The ruler of the

12th House Taurus is Venus, and her houses become very weak since you

she is retrograde and combust by being too close to the sun. So this

indicates that international travel may be forced upon you. The

presence of Mars here suggests that the situation forcing your

international movement may be related to war, weapons or similar things.

 

Taurus is a Northern sign, so this forced movement will take you

northward.

 

Ketu joins Mars here in the 12th - which further strengthens this

interpretation. Ketu and Mars have the nature of wind and fire.

Therefore they dry and scatter the earth of Taurus.

 

When I look at the 12th house in your 9th Division chart (the chart

which pertains to marriage and relationships), I do see a movement

sign, Libra; associated with the West and with air. This indicates

that the international travel which is not forced upon you will be

chosen by you in pursuit of Venus (Music, Art, Pleasure, Marriage),

and will move you westward. by nature you are prone to international

travel. It will be due to marriage (and perhaps other indications of

Venus such as music and art) that you travel westward from your place

of birth and by air.

 

There looks to be movement over water as well, because the movement

sign, Aries, is in the 11th House (which pertains to water travel).

 

All in all I would say that you don’t get out much. You have a lot of

“fixed” signs in the houses associated with travel - but that you do

make large scale, international moves that are initially forced by

martial circumstances, and later related to art and marriage.

 

The presence of Ketu in the 12th House indicates that you will leave

your place of birth and not live there again. "
