If you’ve been told “your planet is combust” (Asta Graha / Moudhya), you’ve probably seen dramatic claims online like:

  • “Your marriage is doomed.”
  • “You’ll lose wealth.”
  • “You’ll never be happy.”
  • “Your mind will suffer.”

I don’t read charts that way.

In real Jyotish practice, combustion is a specific technical condition—not a life sentence. A combust planet can absolutely produce results, and in some cases, it produces strong outcomes with a unique psychological signature:

The planet’s themes become heated by the Sun—meaning they get tangled with ego, identity, pride, status, visibility, and the need to be respected.

When you understand combustion correctly, you stop fearing it and start using it as a map.

📩 If you want me to assess your combust planets precisely (exact degrees, severity, house/sign, dispositor strength, aspects, divisional confirmations, and dasha timing), you can email me anytime for a horoscope reading starting at $99 only at angshuman.ix@gmail.com.

🔎 Quick Definition

A combusted planet is a planet placed too close to the Sun in the natal chart (or in transit), such that its independent expression becomes “overpowered” by solar intensity.

Symbolically:

  • ☀️ Sun = identity, ego, pride, status, authority, visibility, power
  • 🪐 Other planets = specialized functions (mind, love, logic, courage, wisdom, discipline, etc.)

So combustion often means:

✅ The planet still functions—but it becomes identity-linked, status-sensitive, and heated.
⚠️ The planet may express through ego defense, pride, overcompensation, or suppression.
🌱 With maturity, combustion can refine the planet into high mastery—because heat can purify.

1️⃣ What Does “Combusted” Mean in Vedic Astrology?

In Jyotish, combustion is called:

  • Asta (अस्त)
  • Moudhya (मौढ्य)

The idea is simple: when a planet comes very close to the Sun, it loses visibility in the sky. Jyotish uses that visibility metaphor to interpret psychological and karmic visibility:

  • The Sun’s agenda becomes dominant.
  • The planet’s agenda becomes less independent.
  • The person experiences that planet through Sun themes:
    • pride
    • image
    • authority conflicts
    • validation needs
    • “I must be respected”

A combust planet is not “dead”

One of the biggest misunderstandings is: “Combust = planet gives nothing.”

No. In practice, combust planets often give results, sometimes strongly—but with a cost:

  • You may achieve the planet’s goals but feel restless.
  • You may get love but still feel insecure.
  • You may earn money but still chase status.
  • You may gain knowledge but become rigid or defensive.

Combustion is less about “no results” and more about how the results are processed internally.

2️⃣ Why Combustion Happens (Astronomy Meets Symbolism)

Astronomically, planets appear close to the Sun from Earth’s perspective because their orbits align in certain ways. When a planet is near the Sun in the sky:

  • it becomes difficult to see
  • it rises and sets close to the Sun
  • it is “hidden” in the Sun’s glare

Jyotish interprets that as:

  • the planet’s qualities become “hidden”
  • or the planet’s qualities become “absorbed” into the Sun

How I explain it in human language

Combustion often feels like this:

“My planet works, but it works under pressure.”

  • Mercury combust: mind works, but under ego heat → overthinking, defensiveness, communication pride
  • Venus combust: love works, but under identity heat → validation seeking, relationship pride
  • Jupiter combust: wisdom works, but under status heat → moral pride or faith crisis
  • Saturn combust: discipline works, but under authority heat → burnout, fear of failure, rigid control

This is why combustion is so psychological.

3️⃣ Combustion Orbs (Degrees): The Most Practical Table

Different Jyotish traditions and software use slightly different combustion degrees. I’m going to give you a practical, usable reference that matches how combustion is commonly taught and applied.

✅ Important nuance: Orbs can vary based on whether the planet is direct or retrograde, and different classical sources give different limits. In professional reading, I treat orbs as guidelines and I let life patterns + chart modifiers confirm.

📏 Common combustion orbs (working reference)

Planet Typical Combust Orb (Approx.) Notes
🌙 Moon ~12° Moon combust is common and psychologically noticeable
🟢 Mercury ~14° Mercury stays close to Sun often; combustion is common
💗 Venus ~10° Venus combustion is common; severity depends on closeness
🔴 Mars ~17° Mars combust is less common than Mercury/Venus
🟡 Jupiter ~11° Jupiter combust is rarer and often meaningful when tight
🪐 Saturn ~15° Saturn combust is rare; when tight it can feel heavy

🚫 Can the Sun be combust?

No. The Sun is the combustor.

🚫 Are Rahu/Ketu combust?

Traditionally, Rahu/Ketu aren’t treated the same way as visible planets for combustion rules. Many practitioners do not apply combustion to them as a standard rule.

4️⃣ Severity Zones: How I Weight Combustion in Readings

Combustion is not binary. A planet at 1° from the Sun is not the same as a planet at 12°.

Here’s the severity framework I use.

🔥 Combustion severity zones (universal framework)

Sun–Planet Distance Severity What I Usually See
0°–2° 🔥 Extreme identity fusion with planet; intense pride sensitivity; strong psychological pattern
3°–5° ⚠️ Strong repeated lessons; overcompensation or suppression; noticeable life themes
6°–8° 🌫️ Moderate subtle but present; shows under stress or in relevant dashas
9°–(orb limit) ✅ Mild light overlay; usually manageable unless afflicted
Beyond orb ✅ Not combust planet expresses more independently

A professional rule I follow

If combustion is mild, I do not blame major life problems on it unless:

  • the planet is also debilitated/afflicted
  • the dispositor is weak
  • divisional charts confirm
  • dasha timing activates it
  • real-life patterns match

This is how you keep astrology accurate and ethical.

5️⃣ Combustion vs Conjunction vs Retrograde vs Planetary War (Clear Differences)

People confuse these constantly, so let’s clean it up.

5.1 Combustion vs simple Sun conjunction

A planet can be conjunct the Sun without being severely combust (depending on degrees and tradition). The conjunction can also bring benefits:

  • Sun + Mercury: intelligence, speech, commerce
  • Sun + Venus: charm, aesthetics, public appeal
  • Sun + Jupiter: leadership, teaching authority

Combustion becomes problematic mainly when:

  • it’s tight
  • the planet is already weak/afflicted
  • the Sun itself is afflicted
  • the planet is required to deliver crucial promises (e.g., marriage, career)

5.2 Combustion vs retrograde

Retrograde means the planet’s motion appears backward. It often indicates:

  • internal processing
  • revision
  • delayed clarity
  • non-linear growth

A planet can be combust and retrograde. In those cases, I look for:

  • strong inner development potential
  • less “burning” and more “internalization”
  • but still identity pressure if degrees are very tight

5.3 Combustion vs planetary war (Graha Yuddha)

Planetary war occurs when planets are very close to each other, competing for dominance.

  • Combustion is Sun overpowering a planet.
  • War is planet vs planet competition (often Mercury/Venus, etc.).

If a planet is both combust and in war, the results become layered:

  • identity pressure + functional competition

5.4 Combustion vs debilitation

  • Debilitation is sign-based discomfort.
  • Combustion is Sun-proximity heat.

A planet can be debilitated and combust—this often increases volatility.

6️⃣ Combustion ≠ Weak Planet: The 6 “Weakness Types” People Mix Up

To interpret correctly, you must separate these categories.

Condition What Causes It How It Feels What I Check
🔥 Combust close to Sun pride/pressure overlay degrees + Sun condition
📉 Debilitated in neecha sign wrong expression early degree peak + Neecha Bhanga
⚔️ Afflicted malefic aspects/conjunctions conflict, fear, instability Mars/Saturn/Rahu/Ketu
🕳️ Dusthana placement 6/8/12 houses hidden lessons/crises dispositor + dasha
🧾 Varga weakness divisional contradictions delayed results D9/D10 confirmation
📏 Overall strength shadbala type measures inconsistent delivery supportive yogas/timing

A combust planet may still be strong in dignity. A debilitated planet may be non-combust. These distinctions matter.

7️⃣ What Makes a Combust Planet Better or Worse (Modifiers I Always Check)

This is the “nuance engine.” Combustion alone is never enough.

🧩 Modifier table (high impact)

Modifier If Supportive ✅ If Challenging ⚠️
Degree closeness mild combustion tight combustion
Planet dignity (sign) own/exalt/friendly debilitated/enemy
House placement upachaya/kendra/trikona dusthana under stress
Dispositor strength strong manager weak manager
Sun condition confident, ethical Sun ego wounds, harsh Sun
Benefic support Jupiter/Venus/Mercury help malefics dominate
Divisional support strong in D9/D10 weak in D9/D10
Dasha timing not activated activated strongly

The Sun’s condition is underrated

Many people forget: the Sun is doing the burning.

  • A strong, ethical Sun can “refine” a combust planet.
  • An insecure, afflicted Sun can “damage” a combust planet.

So I always evaluate Sun strength, aspects, and house role.

8️⃣ Natal Combustion vs Transit Combustion (Don’t Confuse Them)

Natal combustion (birth chart)

This is a lifelong signature. It describes:

  • how you process that planet’s themes
  • the internal pattern of ego/identity around that planet

Transit combustion

Planets combust in transit regularly—especially Mercury and Venus. Transit combustion can correlate with:

  • short periods of heightened pressure in that planet’s themes
  • reevaluation
  • temporary confusion or intensity

But I do not dramatize transits unless:

  • they trigger sensitive natal placements
  • the person is running the planet’s dasha/antardasha
  • divisional charts confirm vulnerability

9️⃣ General House-wise Effects of Combust Planets (1st–12th Framework)

House placement shows where the combustion heat is felt.

This is a general framework, then we’ll go planet-specific.

🏛️ House-wise framework table

House Sphere Combustion Often Feels Like What Helps
1st self/body identity pressure, self-criticism stable self-worth routines
2nd speech/wealth pride in speech, money-image issues values clarity + budgeting
3rd effort/skills performance pressure daily skill discipline
4th home/peace inner unrest, comfort anxiety calm home rituals
5th creativity/romance ego in love/creativity playful creation + humility
6th work/conflict burnout, competitiveness boundaries + health routine
7th marriage pride clashes, validation needs repair skills + honesty
8th intimacy control themes, secrecy trust-building + transparency
9th faith ideology pride or crisis lived dharma over preaching
10th career public image pressure mission-driven work
11th gains social status chasing authentic networks
12th loss/moksha escapism or deep spiritual pull disciplined solitude

Now let’s get detailed planet-by-planet.

🔟 Planet-by-Planet Guide: Effects of Combustion

I’m going to cover each combust planet in a way that’s actually usable:

  • what it represents
  • how combustion alters it
  • common real-life patterns
  • what makes it better/worse
  • what I recommend (practical)

🌙 Combust Moon (Asta Chandra): Emotional Heat Under Ego Light

What the Moon represents

  • mind, emotions, intuition
  • comfort needs, attachment style
  • mother archetype (context-dependent)
  • mental rhythm (sleep, mood cycles)

What Moon combustion often does

When the Moon is combust, emotions can feel “overpowered” by identity pressure:

  • you may look calm outside but feel tense inside
  • you may intellectualize feelings (Sun dominance)
  • you may feel lonely even around people
  • you may struggle to relax mentally

Common patterns I see

  • overthinking + emotional exhaustion
  • “I must be strong” masking emotional needs
  • difficulty trusting vulnerability
  • anxiety-like restlessness (not a diagnosis)
  • sleep disruption under stress
  • attachment swings (cling → withdraw)

What strengthens a combust Moon

  • Jupiter aspect/support is often a stabilizer
  • stable Moon dignity (not debilitated/afflicted) helps
  • disciplined routines help Moon the most (sleep + food rhythm)

A practical Moon-balancing approach

  • protect sleep timing (Moon loves rhythm)
  • name emotions daily (journal: “I feel __ because __”)
  • reduce overstimulation at night
  • choose gentle routines over emotional suppression

🟢 Combust Mercury (Asta Budha): Intelligence Under Pride Heat

What Mercury represents

  • thinking, communication, learning
  • trade, business, negotiation
  • speech patterns, writing ability
  • adaptability and humor

Mercury combust is common

Mercury stays close to the Sun, so many charts have Mercury near the Sun. That’s why I treat Mercury combustion carefully:

  • mild combustion can be a style (sharp, authoritative speech)
  • severe combustion can create mental pressure and defensiveness

Common patterns I see

  • overthinking + need to be correct
  • debating to win rather than to understand
  • anxiety around being misunderstood
  • communication pride: “respect my intelligence”
  • sharp speech when ego is triggered
  • difficulty admitting mistakes publicly

The hidden gift

Combust Mercury can create:

  • strong persuasive intelligence
  • authoritative communication
  • leadership in business/communication fields
  • public speaking confidence (if not overly defensive)

What improves combust Mercury

  • benefic support (Jupiter/Venus) softens harshness
  • emotional regulation (Moon stability) reduces reactivity
  • writing practice channels Mercury into mastery

My practical advice

  • slow down speech when triggered
  • practice “I might be wrong” without shame
  • write daily (Mercury becomes clean through writing)
  • replace debate addiction with curiosity

💗 Combust Venus (Asta Shukra): Love and Pleasure Under Validation Heat

What Venus represents

  • love, romance, marriage happiness
  • pleasure, beauty, art
  • self-worth and value choices
  • luxury and comfort

What Venus combustion often does

Combust Venus ties Venus themes to identity:

  • “Am I lovable?”
  • “Am I desirable?”
  • “If I’m rejected, am I worthless?”

So Venus may express as:

  • validation seeking
  • people-pleasing
  • jealousy triggers
  • pleasure guilt or indulgence

Common patterns I see

  • intense attraction + insecurity
  • overgiving to secure love
  • overspending to feel worthy
  • perfection pressure in relationships
  • difficulty receiving love calmly

What improves combust Venus

  • Venus dignity (Taurus/Libra/Pisces) stabilizes
  • Jupiter support brings maturity and ethics
  • Saturn support can bring loyalty (but avoid dryness)

My practical advice

  • build self-worth independent of attention
  • practice direct needs instead of tests
  • create healthy pleasure routines (not coping pleasure)
  • budget for enjoyment (structure protects Venus)

📩 If your Venus is combust and you want me to evaluate marriage outcomes using D1 + D9 + timing (not fear-based guessing), email me for a horoscope reading starting at $99 only at angshuman.ix@gmail.com.

🔴 Combust Mars (Asta Mangala): Drive and Anger Under Ego Heat

What Mars represents

  • courage, initiative, competition
  • conflict style and anger expression
  • physical energy, action, assertiveness

What Mars combustion often does

Combust Mars can create:

  • impulsiveness
  • anger spikes
  • ego-driven conflict
  • competitiveness that becomes identity-based

Sometimes it also causes suppression:

  • “I must not look weak”
  • then anger builds up
  • then it explodes

Common patterns I see

  • short fuse under disrespect triggers
  • dominance struggles
  • rushing decisions
  • accidents through haste (not guaranteed, but a tendency in some charts)
  • conflict in relationships if Mars influences Venus/7th

The higher expression

Combust Mars can become:

  • fearless leadership
  • strong execution power
  • high athletic or entrepreneurial drive
  • courage that protects others

But it requires one skill: restraint.

What improves combust Mars

  • Saturn discipline (training, structure)
  • strong Moon helps emotional containment
  • benefic aspects reduce rashness

My practical advice

  • exercise regularly (Mars needs a channel)
  • learn pause techniques (10-second rule)
  • choose direct conversations over aggressive ones
  • avoid impulsive commitments

🟡 Combust Jupiter (Asta Guru): Wisdom Under Status Heat

What Jupiter represents

  • wisdom, ethics, faith, dharma
  • teachers, mentors, higher learning
  • blessings, fortune, expansion
  • counsel and guidance

What Jupiter combustion often does

Combust Jupiter can make belief identity-linked:

  • “If you challenge my belief, you challenge me.”
  • moral pride or faith crisis
  • teaching for recognition rather than service

Common patterns I see

  • overconfidence → correction → rebuild
  • mentor conflicts (idealize then reject)
  • rigidity or cynicism depending on chart
  • luck swings if expansion is not disciplined

The higher expression

Combust Jupiter can become:

  • public teacher energy
  • ethical leadership
  • respected advisor role
  • deep wisdom after humility lessons

What improves combust Jupiter

  • Jupiter dignity (Sagittarius/Pisces/Cancer strength)
  • Saturn realism that doesn’t become pessimism
  • benefic support + stable Moon

My practical advice

  • humility is your superpower here
  • study consistently (real wisdom beats pride)
  • avoid preaching; practice lived ethics
  • mentor others quietly—service purifies Jupiter

🪐 Combust Saturn (Asta Shani): Discipline and Karma Under Ego Heat

What Saturn represents

  • discipline, patience, endurance
  • work ethic, responsibility
  • fear, boundaries, realism
  • karma and consequences

Why Saturn combustion is intense when it happens

Saturn is far from the Sun, so tight proximity is rarer. When Saturn is combust:

  • responsibility pressure can become extreme
  • fear of failure can become identity-based
  • the person may overwork to prove worth

Common patterns I see

  • burnout cycles (work → collapse → work)
  • harsh self-judgment
  • authority conflict (boss/father figures)
  • rigidity and control to avoid uncertainty
  • loneliness themes due to over-responsibility

The higher expression

Combust Saturn can become:

  • elite discipline
  • long-term mastery
  • leadership through reliability
  • building legacy systems

But the lesson is: discipline without self-cruelty.

What improves combust Saturn

  • benefic support softens harshness (Jupiter/Venus where appropriate)
  • stable routines that include rest
  • strong Lagna and Moon to contain pressure

My practical advice

  • schedule rest like a duty (Saturn respects structure)
  • stop using suffering as proof of worth
  • build long-term plans with realistic pacing
  • learn to delegate (control is not strength)

1️⃣1️⃣ Combust Planets in Relationships and Marriage (Practical)

Combustion often shows up in relationships through one theme:

“I need love, but I also need respect.” ☀️

When the Sun burns relationship planets, love can become tied to pride and validation.

Which combustions matter most for marriage?

  • Combust Venus (love, harmony, enjoyment)
  • Combust Moon (emotional safety and bonding)
  • Combust Mercury (communication patterns)
  • Combust Jupiter (ethics, commitment ideals, family growth)
  • Combust Mars (conflict and passion)
  • Combust Saturn (commitment pressure and distance)

Relationship patterns table (very practical)

Combust Planet Common Relationship Challenge Mature Relationship Gift
Moon emotional suppression or mood tension calm emotional leadership
Mercury ego debates, harsh words brilliant communication mastery
Venus validation seeking, jealousy refined love with boundaries
Mars conflict spikes, dominance protective passion with restraint
Jupiter moral rigidity, preaching wise partnership guidance
Saturn distance, work-first love loyal long-term stability

What I do in real marriage assessment

I never judge marriage from combustion alone. I check:

  • 7th house/lord (D1 and D9)
  • Venus (D1 and D9)
  • Moon stability
  • Jupiter support for commitment and ethics
  • dasha timing (when the theme activates)

1️⃣2️⃣ Combust Planets in Career, Reputation, and Wealth (Practical)

Combustion becomes very visible in career because the Sun rules:

  • status
  • recognition
  • authority
  • public image

So combust planets often produce:

  • success pressure
  • reputation sensitivity
  • ego conflicts with bosses
  • desire for recognition

Career impact table

Combust Planet Career Challenge Career Potential
Mercury defensiveness in communication elite persuasion, leadership speech
Venus image anxiety, approval chasing branding, arts, luxury industries
Mars conflicts, impulsive decisions execution power, entrepreneurship
Jupiter pride in knowledge, ideology teacher, advisor, ethical leader
Saturn burnout, harsh discipline legacy building, top mastery
Moon emotional tension, stress counseling, HR, healing leadership

1️⃣3️⃣ Combust Planets and Mental/Emotional Patterns (Responsible, Non-Clinical)

I want to be careful here: I’m not diagnosing anything.

But in symbolic terms, combustion can correlate with:

  • internal pressure
  • restlessness
  • pride sensitivity
  • overcompensation
  • emotional suppression

Mental pattern table (symbolic)

Combust Planet Symbolic Mind Pattern
Moon emotional fatigue, loneliness, inner tension
Mercury mental overdrive, defensiveness, overthinking
Venus insecurity in worth, jealousy triggers
Mars irritability, impatience, anger spikes
Jupiter belief rigidity or doubt cycles
Saturn harsh self-judgment, fear-based control

The practical antidote is almost always:

  • better routines
  • less ego defense
  • more honest emotional naming
  • slower decision-making when triggered

1️⃣4️⃣ Divisional Chart Nuance (Why D9/D10 Change the Story)

If you want accuracy that beats generic SEO posts, you must use divisional charts properly.

D1 vs D9 vs D10 (simple)

  • D1 (Rashi): baseline life pattern
  • D9 (Navamsha): maturity, dharma, marriage reality
  • D10 (Dashamsha): career execution and status

The key rule I use

If a combust planet is:

  • combust in D1 but strong in D9 → improves with maturity
  • combust in D1 and weak in D9 → relationship/maturity tests increase
  • combust in D1 but powerful in D10 → career can thrive even if internal pressure exists

This is why two people with “combust Venus” can live completely different realities.

1️⃣5️⃣ Timing: Dashas, Antardashas, and Combust Activation

A combust planet often feels “quiet” until its timing activates.

When combust themes activate strongly

  • the combust planet’s mahadasha/antardasha
  • the Sun’s period (if conjunction is very tight)
  • the dispositor’s period
  • major transits triggering the planet’s houses

What activation looks like

During activation, you might notice:

  • pride issues get triggered
  • relationship themes intensify
  • career image pressure increases
  • you’re forced to learn humility, boundaries, or discipline

This is why timing is central. Without timing, you get vague predictions.

📩 If you want me to time your combust planet results through dashas (and show you when the pressure reduces and when benefits rise), email me for a horoscope reading starting at $99 only at angshuman.ix@gmail.com.

1️⃣6️⃣ Remedies (Upayas) That Actually Make Sense

My remedy philosophy is simple:

🔥 Combustion is heat. You don’t “fight heat” with fear. You channel heat into maturity.

The best remedies are behavioral, not superstitious

Combustion often means the planet’s function is tied to ego. So the real remedy is:

  • humility
  • self-worth
  • discipline
  • boundaries
  • truthful communication
  • ethical living

Universal remedies for combust planets (safe and effective)

Remedy Type What You Do Why It Works
Ego hygiene ☀️ notice pride triggers; pause reduces “Sun takeover”
Skill practice 🧠 develop planet’s skill daily makes planet function cleanly
Routine 🗓️ consistent sleep/work/food stabilizes inner pressure
Service 🤲 help others quietly purifies identity attachment
Reflection ✍️ journal triggers weekly builds awareness
Environment 🏠 calm home space reduces internal heat

Planet-specific practical remedies (my favorites)

Combust Planet Most Effective Practical Remedy
Moon sleep rhythm + emotional naming + gentle routine
Mercury writing + slow speech + curiosity over debate
Venus self-worth practice + clean pleasure + boundaries
Mars exercise + pause rule + direct conflict repair
Jupiter humility + study + charity + service teaching
Saturn paced discipline + rest scheduling + long-term structure

Gemstones: my caution (important)

I don’t recommend gemstones casually for combust planets because:

  • planetary strengthening can amplify the wrong things if the planet is functionally challenging for the ascendant
  • combustion is not always solved by “more planet energy”
  • timing and chart context matter

If you want gemstone guidance, I always evaluate:

  • ascendant rulership
  • dignity and afflictions
  • dasha period
  • divisional confirmations

1️⃣7️⃣ Myth-Busting (What “Top SEO Posts” Often Get Wrong)

❌ Myth 1: “Combust planet means it gives no results.”

No. It often gives results with identity pressure.

❌ Myth 2: “Combust Venus guarantees divorce.”

No. Marriage requires D1 + D9 + timing analysis.

❌ Myth 3: “Combust Mercury means you’re not intelligent.”

No. It often means intelligence is tied to pride or defensiveness.

❌ Myth 4: “Combust Jupiter means no luck.”

No. It means blessings are tied to ethics, humility, and maturity.

❌ Myth 5: “All combustions are equally bad.”

No. Severity depends on degrees and chart modifiers.

✅ Truth

Combustion is heat. Heat can burn—or it can refine.

1️⃣8️⃣ My Interpretation Checklist (Step-by-Step Method)

If you want to read combust planets like a serious astrologer (not a fear merchant), follow this method.

Step 1: Confirm combustion

  • Sun degree: ___
  • Planet degree: ___
  • Distance: ___°
  • Orb threshold: ___°
  • Severity: extreme/strong/moderate/mild

Step 2: Evaluate planet dignity

  • sign strength: own/exalt/friendly/neutral/enemy/debilitated
  • is it also combust + debilitated? (more intense)

Step 3: Evaluate house placement

  • which house is combust planet in?
  • what topics does it directly affect?

Step 4: Evaluate dispositor

  • strength and placement of sign lord
  • does the dispositor stabilize or destabilize?

Step 5: Evaluate Sun condition

  • is Sun dignified or afflicted?
  • does Sun represent noble confidence or ego wound?

Step 6: Evaluate aspects and conjunctions

  • benefic support (Jupiter/Venus etc.)
  • malefic pressure (Mars/Saturn/Rahu/Ketu)
  • planetary war if relevant

Step 7: Confirm in divisional charts

  • D9 for maturity/marriage
  • D10 for career delivery
  • other vargas if needed

Step 8: Time with dashas and transits

  • is the combust planet active now?
  • is the Sun period active?
  • is dispositor period active?

Step 9: Give remedies that match the lesson

  • channel heat into skill + humility + routines

This is how you read combustion with accuracy and integrity.

❓ FAQ

What is a combust planet in Vedic astrology?

A planet that is too close to the Sun and therefore expresses under Sun “heat”—often tied to ego, pride, identity, and status pressure.

Are combust planets always bad?

No. They can produce results, sometimes strongly. The difference is the internal experience: pressure, pride sensitivity, or overcompensation.

Which planets can be combust?

Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (and sometimes others depending on tradition). The Sun cannot be combust.

What degrees make a planet combust?

Orbs vary by tradition. A practical working reference: Mercury ~14°, Venus ~10°, Moon ~12°, Mars ~17°, Jupiter ~11°, Saturn ~15°—but severity depends on exact closeness.

Is combustion worse than debilitation?

They’re different. Debilitation is sign mismatch; combustion is Sun pressure. Together they can intensify lessons, but neither alone guarantees failure.

Do combust planets improve with age?

Often yes—especially when the native learns the planet’s correct skill and reduces ego defenses. Saturn-style maturity frequently helps combust patterns.

🧾 Summary Tables + Key Takeaways

✅ Master summary table

Combust Planet Core Theme Main Challenge Mature Gift
Moon emotion under ego inner tension calm emotional leadership
Mercury mind under pride defensiveness persuasive mastery
Venus love under validation insecurity refined love + boundaries
Mars drive under ego conflict spikes disciplined courage
Jupiter wisdom under status rigidity/doubt ethical teacher energy
Saturn duty under pride burnout legacy-building mastery

🌟 Key takeaways (if you skim)

  • Combustion is not doom. It’s heat and identity pressure.
  • Degree closeness decides severity.
  • Planet dignity, dispositor strength, Sun condition, and divisional charts decide outcomes.
  • Dashas decide timing.
  • The best remedies are skill, humility, boundaries, and routines—not fear.

✨ Final Thought

A combust planet is a message from the chart:

“This area of life must mature—because you’re meant to carry real power here.”

When you stop chasing validation and start practicing mastery, combustion becomes less of a burn and more of a refinement.
