Life is a journey full of decisions — some easy, some life-changing. One such major decision that many people face is whether to settle abroad permanently or return to their homeland. I had a similar crossroad in my life: Why did I choose to leave the US and move back to India? While most people would consider this purely a personal or professional decision, the deeper truth lies in astrology.
According to Vedic Astrology, the movement between countries, the desire to live abroad, and even the sudden urge to return to your roots are influenced by the planetary positions in your birth chart (Janam Kundli). Renowned astrologer Dr. Vinay Bajrangi has often explained how planetary transits and dasha cycles can change the course of your life, especially in matters of foreign travel and settlement.
In astrology, some specific houses and planets control your inclination towards foreign lands.
9th House– Represents long journeys, higher education, and fortune. Strong influence here can push a person toward overseas opportunities.
12th House– The house of foreign residence, isolation, and expenditure. A powerful 12th house often indicates long-term settlement abroad.
4th House– Signifies home, homeland, and emotional security. If negatively influenced, one feels disconnected from their native land and seeks comfort elsewhere.
7th House– Partnerships and spouse. Many people move abroad after marriage due to the strength of this house.
Planets like Rahu, Moon, and Saturn play crucial roles in shaping one’s foreign settlement astrology. Rahu, being the planet of desires, often pushes people toward exploring foreign cultures.
When these houses and planets are well-activated in your Kundli, chances of going abroad are high. But the same horoscope can also indicate a strong pullback to the homeland at some point in life.
Even though I had opportunities in the US, lived comfortably, and had the kind of lifestyle many dream about, there was an inner calling — something that made me question whether I was truly where I belonged. This was not random; it was a reflection of my planetary cycle.
Change in Mahadasha or Antardasha– According to astrology, every time your planetary period changes, so does the direction of your life. A shift from a foreign-supporting planet (like Rahu, Moon, or Saturn) to a homeland-supporting planet (like Sun, Mars, or Venus) can suddenly make you want to move back.
Activation of the 4th House– When the 4th house of homeland becomes strong, you feel emotionally drawn back to your roots. This was precisely my case — my 4th house became active during a planetary transit, reminding me that my sense of belonging and peace could only be found in India.
Professional Instability Abroad– Astrology also indicates professional ups and downs when certain planetary combinations weaken. The 10th house of career in my chart was not strongly supported by the current dasha in the US, making progress slow.
Family and Emotional Factors– Sometimes astrology shows a strong connection with family karma. My Moon and Sun placements indicated responsibilities back home, making it clear that staying in the US would not bring long-term satisfaction.
So, while on the surface it may look like a personal choice, the deeper answer lies in my Kundli — which showed a perfect time to return. Read more: Should I Go Back to India
While the US represents the 12th house influence, India, for me, represented the 4th house — roots, stability, and true belonging. Some astrological reasons that explained my return were:
Saturn Transit– My Saturn moved into a position where it demanded responsibility toward my homeland and family.
Rahu Dasha Ending– Rahu had given me the desire to explore foreign lands, but its period was ending, and I no longer felt the excitement of living abroad.
Jupiter Influence– Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and dharma, started dominating my chart. It pushed me toward meaningful living, spiritual growth, and a cultural connection I could only find in India.
Renowned astrologer Dr Vinay Bajrangi explains that when your foreign settlement yoga weakens and your homecoming yoga strengthens, you feel restless abroad and naturally gravitate back home.

Astrology is not just about predicting the future — it’s about guiding your choices. Before deciding to settle abroad or return home, it’s essential to analyze your birth chart properly.
Will your career flourish abroad, or is your success rooted in your homeland?
Does your horoscope promise permanent foreign settlementor just temporary stays?
Will you feel emotionally satisfied in another country?
At what age or planetary period should you consider returning home?
These questions can be answered through a professional Kundli analysis by experts like Dr. Vinay Bajrangi, who specializes in foreign travel astrology and career astrology.
Strong 4th House + Weak 12th House→ Indicates eventual return to homeland.
Change in Dasha from Rahu to Sun or Mars→ Moves focus from foreign land to native land.
Saturn Transit over 4th House→ Brings responsibility toward family and homeland.
Moon’s Placement→ Emotional attachment to family often pulls one back.
When I decided to leave the US, many questioned my decision. “Why would you leave a country with better facilities, opportunities, and lifestyle?” they asked. My answer was simple: peace, belonging, and inner satisfaction cannot be measured in dollars.
Since my return, I feel more grounded. My career took a new direction, my family life improved, and spiritually, I feel more aligned. Astrology didn’t just predict this — it explained why this was the right path for me.
Q1. Does everyone who goes abroad eventually return to their homeland according to astrology?
Not necessarily. If the 12th house is very strong and continuously supported by planetary dashas, a person can settle abroad permanently.
Q2. Can astrology predict the exact time of my return to India?
Yes, by analyzing planetary periods (dasha and antardasha), astrologers like Dr Vinay Bajrangi can pinpoint the timeframe when your return is most likely.
Q3. Why do some people feel dissatisfied abroad despite success?
This is often due to a strong 4th house influence, which creates emotional attachment to homeland. No matter how successful they are abroad, peace lies in returning.
Q4. Can astrology guide me if I am confused between staying abroad or returning?
Absolutely. A detailed Kundli analysis can clarify whether your career, family life, and personal growth are better supported abroad or in your homeland.
Q5. What role does Rahu play in foreign settlement?
Rahu often gives the desire and opportunities to go abroad. But once its dasha ends, the charm of foreign life may fade, pulling you back.
Q6. Is moving back to India always beneficial astrologically?
It depends on your birth chart. For some, India offers stability and prosperity, while for others, their destiny may lie abroad.
1. Is moving to India a good idea from the USA?
2. In which thing is India better than the USA?
3. Why are people coming back to India from the US?
4. Which country is best for living?
5. How to avoid US visa rejection?

Conclusion
So, why did I leave the US and move back to India? The answer lies in my astrological chart. The changing planetary influences shifted my focus from foreign land (12th house) to my homeland (4th house). While practical reasons like career and family played their part, the real guidance came from astrology.
As Dr Vinay Bajrangi always emphasizes, life’s biggest decisions — whether about foreign settlement, right career choices, or marriage — should be aligned with your stars. By understanding your Kundli, you don’t just make a decision — you make the right decision at the right time.
