Move, stay or go back? The JyotiSoft chart answer

What the answer contains

1. What your place gives and lacks. Which sphere of life works weakly where you are now, and what you are looking for, consciously or not.
2. Leave, stay or go back — the lean. The 4th house and its lord (roots, staying, returning) weighed against the 12th and 9th and their lords (life elsewhere) and the running period: a period of the 12th or 9th lord favours living away, a period of the 4th lord favours home or return. The answer names one lean clearly; it does not conclude that all options are equal.
3. Directions. From the chart's strongest benefics, Jupiter and Venus: two or three broad directions or regions of the world that resonate, and the type of place (a big city, a warm climate, a cultural hub). It is orientation, not precise lines.
4. When. The window for the move or the return, and one step for this month.

What it is calculated from

The same calculation as your chart in the bot and the Mini App: sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha, whole-sign houses. It uses the 4th, 9th and 12th houses with their lords, the strongest benefics, and the running period and the next ones with their dates (the Vimshottari dasha). How a question of timing is answered in general: when will it happen?

What the answer never does

It never judges whether a country, region or city is safe and says nothing about war or politics there: safety is a question for official sources. It does not state the outcome of a visa, a residence permit or a border crossing as a fact: it gives a lean and a window. The directions are a broad orientation, not an address or a promise of success.

If you do not know the birth time

Say so: the answer then states in one sentence that what rests on the houses and the rising sign softens, while the signs of the planets and the dates of the periods hold. You can see first how much depends on the time in the free chart calculator (tick “Time unknown”).

If you have one specific place in mind, the Navigator has a separate question, “Is this country or city mine?”; for the timing of the move itself there is “The best time to move”. For marriage see When will I get married?
