A foreign language is a language not native to a country. For example, an english speaker living in Japan can say that Japanese is a foreign language to him or her. Today, we will talk about various astrological combinations which help us to predict the chances of learning a foreign language.

Foreign language and the related planets

Jupiter when placed strongly in a Janma Kundali indicates affection and interest for mother tongue and motherland. When it is weak, it shows an interest in foreign culture and foreign language.

If Saturn is placed strongly in a Janma Kundali, it confirms an inclination towards foreign culture and foreign language.

Rahu is a virtual planet and its characteristics resemble to that of Saturn. Hence, Rahu placed in the ascendant indicate an interest for a foreign language.

Mercury is the planet of communication and it should be strong in order to gain an ability to learn and write foreign languages.

You can also learn a foreign language when Ketu is present in third house or fifth house in your Kundali. A person also learns a foreign language when the lord of fifth house forms a relationship with Ketu.

Role of 1st house, 2nd house and 12th house

The 1st house indicates the basic traits of the person and if it is aspected by Saturn, Mercury or Rahu, it indicates the flair for a foreign language.

If 2nd house is strong in a Janma Kundali, it indicates command in speaking or writing a foreign language.

12th house is the house of additional interests other than main profession of a person. Therefore, if any planet like Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury or Rahu are involved with the 12th house, it indicates the learning of other language in leisure time.
