COMBUSTION & ITS IMPLICATIONS

Post by chavitarun » 02 Jul 2011

COMBUSTION (ASTANGATA, DAGDHA, MOUDYA) & ITS IMPLICATIONS
It is said in the classics that a planet would be more powerful when they are radiant. If you look at the zodiac, the point rising in the horizon is called ascendant (the first house) and the point at mid heTaven is called the 10th house. . 10th is regarded as most powerful kendra. A planet in such a condition is said to be auspicious. When a planet comes closer to sun, it would set and rise along with sun and hence are lusterless. Such a position is called combustion. Combustion is caused due to certain longitudinal distances from Sun and it is necessary that both Sun and the combust planet be in the same sign. Combustion is deemed to be bad at it would rob away the effects of the planet. The combustion distance varies from planet to planet. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn come at distance of 17Ëš, 14Ëš (12Ëš when retrograde), 11Ëš, 10Ëš (8Ëš when retrograde) and 15Ëšon either side of Sun, they are subjected to combustion. On the other hand, when the planets come close to Moon, it is called Samagama. Nodes do not have combustion as they are not radiating planets but merely mathematical points. Uttara Kalamrita says, " (Natural) Benefic planets if combust, lose their potency, while (natural) malefics become more mischievous".
If you look into your Panchanga , you will find that suitable muhurtas for inauguration of house, business expansion, marriage etc., would not available during the period of combustion. Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra says," If ascendant lord is in debilitation, combustion or in enemy sign, there will be diseases. (Sloka 1-2, "Effects on Tanu Bhava). This stanza highlights the importance of combustion in natal horoscopy. There are two only moudhyas which have been given importance î º of Venus and Jupiter. When Jupiter is combust, Upanayana (reborn-ceremony) is not conducted. Unfortunately the other planets do not enjoy such respect! On the similar argument, when Mercury is combust, you panchanga should have mentioned that certain days as not good for education, journalism and court dealings. When Saturn is combust, it should have told you not to take up a labour contract!
A combust Venus is supposed to cause losses in business. This means when you go to buy a pair of shoes you will meet loss, the shop keeper also incurs losses. Losses and losses everywhere. Since Mercury and Venus move close to Sun, the phenomenon happens frequently, say every year. However, the distance of combustion should be taken as 3Ëš 20' or less on either side of Sun. It is wise not to do any business transaction, conduct marriages, house warming ceremonies during that time.
. Well, not all is bad with combustion! Suppose you have a strong Venus in the chart, the effect of combustion is less. By combustion, the planet looses his strength to Sun. In the event Sun is a benefic like 5th lord, 9th lord, 10th or 11th lord etc., then how can such a combustion effect you? You will make good tidings through the significances of Venus and the matters represented by Sun will flourish. Despite this, the natural signficances (beauty, artistic nature, refinement of the native) would suffer due to combustion. Other attributes should also be considered. "If 11th Lord is exalted, though in combustion there will be many gains". (sloka 2, "Effects of Labha Bhava" -Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra).
You need not panic that you were born when Venus was combust nor that you should not conduct your beloved daughter's marriage during the entire period shown in your panchanga as sukra moudhya. It is suffice to avoid the muhurtas during the time when Venus comes close to Sun by 3Ëš20' or less. In these cases also, 3Ëš 20' or less on either side of Sun is suggested. It is prudent to view the possible results of combustion based on the functional role of the combust planets, in addition to natural significances.

But I feel that a combust planet transfers its radiance to Sun and sun becomes powerful to do more good or bad as the case may be . When ghee is poured in to fire , flame becomes more radiant , Ghee is making the fire brighter. Where does the power of the combust planet go . It is not turned in to ash immediately .The same way combustion makes Sun more powerful and more blazing .

conjunction occurs when two astronomical objects or spacecraft have either the same right ascension or the same ecliptic longitude, usually as observed from Earth.
The conjunction is happening between planets which are separated lakhs of miles away.conjunction is an alignment. No burning of planets. The energy get dissipated in the space.
So this may be absorbed by planets in near by houses on either side of the combust planet.
