The girl was married to a Canadian citizen of Indian origin in Jun 1994 and left India for good in dec 1994 during dasha of Jupiter-Rahu. Rahu is posited in 12^th exactly 10 house away from Jupiter. Her lagna lord is in 2^nd house of Gemini, whose 12^th lord is Venus herself, exalted in Navamsha. Strong Venus brought her to a prosperous foreign land through marriage. Rahu is aspected by her 7^th-12^th lord Mars. Her 7^th lord (husband) is in mutual aspect with 9^th lord (long journey). Her 4^th house is hemmed between 8^th lord Jupiter & 12^th lord Mars. All these factors gave her foreign settlement through marriage.

12. Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed eight groups of important yogas, which could not be clubbed under any head in previous chapters with the help of eight new charts. Altogether in this book we have discussed over 500 yogas of different varieties and explained them with the help of 170 horoscopes. We hope this book would be handy and useful for students and professional astrologers both in their works. However shortcomings, if any, are mine and I would love to get a feed-back on them by august readers.
