There are a lot of ways to see if someone will get a foreign spouse. The first thing I look for is a connection between Rahu or Ketu (the North Node and the South Node of the Moon) and the 7th house or the 7th lord. Anytime you see Rahu in the 7th house or conjunct with the 7th lord, there is a possibility of marrying a foreigner. Ketu in the 7th house can bring foreigners as well, but Ketu is going to make you learn how to detach yourself from the 7th house’s matters.
If you do not know yet about Rahu, here I go; Rahu is a shadow planet, an eclipse point that determines the path you have to follow in order to improve yourself. Rahu represents unusual things basically. What do you think that it is considerably unusual? Whatever answer you think about, it probably can describe what Ketu and Rahu are. A long time ago, be married to someone from a foreign land was something unusual and rare, specially for some cultures. Nowadays, that event has become more common. Foreign things which includes business, money, and people from foreign countries are still unusual and related to Rahu though. That’s why it is so important to look at Rahu’s placement in your chart. This placement will tell you so much about your choices in this life.
The second indicator for foreign spouse happens when Venus, the planet of marriage and relationships, is placed in the 9th house of your birth chart. Venus in the 9th house shows appreciation for other cultures and religions. The native loves to travel for distant lands where one may find its love. Venus is the main Karaka for marriage in women and men’s charts. In this way, Venus in the 12th house shows marriage with foreigners or in foreign lands. In Vedic Astrology, Jupiter represents a husband for a woman. If this planet is placed in the 12th house, the female native can find its partner in foreign lands. Once, I did a consultation for a woman who had Jupiter in the 12th house and she met her husband in a foreign land; her husband was born in the same country as she was, but both met in foreign lands. Sometimes, you have this alignment and you end up marrying a foreigner. Everything is possible. It is important to see the dynamic of the whole chart.
The third clue you might consider could be related to Nakshatras. Some of them show a certain tendency towards foreign things. For example: Ardra Nakshatra is one of the 27 constellations that can lead people to do business in foreign lands because it happens in Gemini (this sign is ruled by Mercury: the planet of business, intelligence, and communications of all kind) and it is ruled by Rahu. Well, I know that business is not a marriage; however, when someone goes to foreign lands the chance of finding a foreign spouse increases. If you have your ascendant, Moon or even Rahu in this Nakshatra, you definitely will be involved in foreign trades with foreign people. Moon or Ascendant in Revati Nakshatra demonstrates a strong connection with isolated places or foreign places/distant lands. It is possible that Nakshatras which are ruled by Rahu, such as Swati, and others ruled by Jupiter deal with the same subject, but each Nakshatra that I mentioned has different goals and it may not lead you to a foreign spouse.
Jaimini Astrology works very well to predict important things of our lives. In your D-1 chart, you can check the aspects between signs; Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces aspect each other while cardinals aspect fix signs and fix signs aspect cardinals signs. If Rahu aspect Venus, there is a chance to get a foreign spouse. (Link: KRSCHANNEL – YouTube)
The last, but not the least clue, is the conjuncts and the placement of the planets in the D-9 chart (aka the Navamsa chart). If you see Rahu conjunct Venus in any sign and in any house, this can indicate a foreign spouse, specially for men. Venus in a man chart represents his wife or life partner. The D-9 chart can show things in details that the D-1 chart does not show at all. It is really interesting how the D-9 works. This chart is considered to be the results of your life path or what you are going to get in this life. And if you will get a foreign spouse or not, it depends on your D-9 chart. I saw a chart once that the guy had Rahu and Venus in conjunct in the D-9 chart. He was about to marry with a person from his land, but suddenly his engagement was over. After that, he met someone from a different land and he is engaged again with this new person. In order to see when you will get married to someone from a foreign country, you can check your Dashas sequences. The Dashas usually “push the bottoms” of your D-9 chart and bring a certain energy up. (I learned from Sam Geppi, he is great). But, you should only expect Dashas outcomes for foreign spouse if you have a certain alignment in your D-9 chart.
It is strange how our lives turn out to be. I do believe that we have free will to decide which path we go, but we cannot control the results of our choices. In addition, there are ways to fight against something we do not want in our lives, but, on the other hand, there are things that are destined for us; we do not have the power to change because we need to experience those things.
Before you see if you will have a foreign spouse, you need to check if you are meant to marriage and even more if you do not have blocks to travel to distant lands. Your chart has a good amount of information about yourself; use it wisely. And do not forget to be happy and make others happy too.
