Aspect of rahu on combustion

Post by paragghavri » 21 Jul 2017

Hello learned members
I somewhere read on this forum that if rahu aspects combustion of a planet then the effects of combustion are nullified.
Is it true
Please shed some light on the topic

Rahu is a round shadowy planet. A shadow of Rahu blocks/hinders the energy of ANY planet it joins and steals away its significations.
When Venus is combusted by Sun, Venus loses its powers. If Venus and Sun are joined with Rahu/Ketu, then Rahu/Ketu blocks their combined energy and steals away their significations. In addition, Rahu's conjunction reduces their power. Also, significations of Venus or Sun are highly blended by Rahu. Suppose, if Venus is connected to the 7th house and Rahu/Ketu, then the native may get married to a foreigner. If Sun and Rahu are connected to the 9th house, the father of the native may be a foreigner or may indicate a Pitru sapa.

Generally, Rahu conjunction with other planets indicates an urgency for a development in the areas denoted by that planet. For e.g. Rahu and Sun conjunction signifies a compelling personality (ego) and spiritual evolution in the current lifetime.

If Rahu is in 5th/9th from the Sun + Venus combination, this cannot reduce the combustion efficiency. From this 5th/9th position, Rahu merely throws its good 120 deg. aspect to their combination. This indicates a good psychic/spiritual energy.

Again, I would like to add a modifier to the writeup by Astrostar -

If the Lagnesh (ascendant Lord) is strong, that is 50% of the battle won. All other things including yogas, doshas, rahu-ketu effects, etc. MUST be seen from the position (vantage point) of lagna lord and overall strength of chart thereof.

Never forget the First Principle of jyotish - strength of lagna and lagna lord, on which all other things are thus dependent and interconnected.

Sureshji - Thanks! How to Judge if Lagna and Lagnesh is strong enough? For instance, if

Lagna is at 9 degree gemini with Moon at 12 degree in Ardra star
Lagna receives an aspect from Saturn(17-18 degree) from 4H virgo. This Saturn is with Jupiter
Lagna has Rahu in second house in Cancer
Lagnesh Mercury(1 degree in Libra) is in 5th behind Sun, is retrograde and vargottam but is deeply combust
Lagnesh Mercury has Jupiter(28-29 degree in Virgo) behind and is possibly partially combust

Request your take on how to ascertain if lagna and lagnesh is strong enough. Thanks

Most of the general rules apply - Lagnesh should be strong in Shadbala, not have malefic aspects of or any conjunction with Shani, Mangal, Rahu, Ketu. Not be in 6, 8, 12 houses as it weakens the chart. Now if the lagnesh is Shani or Mangal, then it applies to Rahu/Ketu, as Lagnesh is always benefic to own chart.

Aspects of natural benefic planets like Moon, mercury, venus, Jupiter, on lagna and/or lagnesha from good houses will tend to fortify the lagna . Executing of lagnesha's objectives in this lifetime needs one or more good planets in kendra houses, or konas in the natal D1 chart. This just makes life easier (comparatively) it does not mean there will be no difficulties, nor does it speak to longevity.

Its like a package, if lagna and lagnesh strong, usually other factors will also support. Ditto otherwise.

So that means combustion, rashi-sandhi, retrograde and vargottam status don't matter much?

They matter but not as much as over-arching role of lagna/Lagnesh. Just as Natal chart is most important, and then other charts, similarly lagna and lord are key elements. If D1 average or Weak, use other charts to see if they override. When the native is older (advanced age), appropriate charts play their role as most of the dashas from D1 will be over.

If lagna and/or lagnesha weak, afflicted, etc. look for other redeeming factors. So the analysis can go in many directions much like a process of elimination.

Thanks Sureshji!. Please correct me if I a wrong but won't a lagnesh become weak if he is deeply combust and in sandhi even if other factors are good.

For instance, in my chart Mercury is in 5th house(Libra) both from lagna and moon. Is vargottam and retrograde but in rashi sandhi(1 degree Libra) and deeply combust.
