Yogas for traveling:

• In Vedic astrology short journeys are considered from the third house that is such journeys that are within the country only. When the lord of the third house and the third house are influenced by malefic planets then such a person undertakes short journeys within his country. Apart from this if the lords of the third house, seventh house, and eleventh house have mutual sight or there is a conjunction and they are seen by Jupiter and Saturn, then such a person likes to travel by plane.
• If Sun Rahu is in the tenth house, then the person gets the benefits of bathing in the Ganga. If the tenth house is combined with the full Moon and Jupiter both sitting together forming Gajakesari Yoga, then after bathing in the Ganga, the person also goes to the pilgrimages.
• If Venus and Jupiter are combined with the center, then there is a journey to bathe in the Ganga. If the second lord, Venus and Jupiter are situated in their exalted signs, then the person travels to the Ganga again and again.
• According to Vedic astrology, during the Dasha period of the fifth lord and the seventh lord, pilgrimages are not done, but religious scriptures are studied and heard.
• During the Dasha period of the fourth house lord, the person travels to many religious places. If the tenth and fourth houses from the Lagna are occupied by malefic planets, then the native may get auspicious results during the pilgrimage.
