Good morning beautiful people welcome to my channel. Just wanted to quickly
discuss with you about combustion of planets and what it means in your
astrological chart because this is so misunderstood and there is so much of it
floating around I found a good book which I shall be putting on the screen
on reference so keep watching and thank you for all your like shares and
subscribes okay here we go it's presentation with a little box of me on
the side so just keep watching so what does combustion mean really when any
planet comes close in contact in angle with the Sun it is said to be
combusted now we should not go into degrees and all that because the degrees
are calculated by the software so we don't have to bother too much with what
planet is combust or not and we shall see that in some case studies also later
on in further videos so what is combustion of planet when planet comes
too close to the Sun it becomes invisible or it merges with the energy of
the Sun. Sun being a soul significator in a chart in Sun stands for the soul
energy it really means that when a planet comes too close to the Sun the
energy of the planet merges with the energy of the Sun basically this is what
it means yeah so let us see what this book Robert's Vagoda light on life tells
us about this is wonderful book reading I recommend to all who are interested in
learning Vedic astrology I typically don't go with Indian authors because
they are too tied up with tradition and this is too much confusing for simple
minds like myself really so let us read through this what does the definition
mean according to the book one useful rule for interpretation of combustion is
that while externalized meanings including various body parts or of a
house are often damaged when the ruler of the house is combust meaning if Venus
is the ruler of Taurus and of Libra if Venus is combust meaning those houses
where Taurus and Libra fall tend to decrease in the physical manifestations
but it is still something else let's see what that is the inner meanings
including particularly the psychic or the mental functions are usually not
spoiled take note of that on the contrary when the Sun who represents the soul
comes into contact with the planet the inner or the astral qualities of that
Braha or the planet will become illumined and enlivened meaning what if Venus is
combust all the qualities of Venus now are in your soul it is coming through your
soul it may not manifest in physical reality probably it will be that you
have to bring the energies of that planet in to focus in whatever you are
going to do in the world for example Sun plus Mercury often causes the
nature to become intellectually brilliant Venus tends to enliven the
quality of beauty this is according to Robert Suvada a book called Night on
Life introduction to the Astrology of India okay so by extension of the same
logic the energy of the planet becomes merged with the energy of the soul or
the Sun so let us see planetary significations meaning what each planet
really stands for and what the combination of planet combustion leads to
and what energy you bring as a soul now which is an integral part of you no need
to manifest in the external world no need for your soul to learn all those
from the external world you already come in with this energy that's what it
essentially means yeah so now let's see what happens when Mercury goes
combust which is most common because it's the closest to the Sun they start
from the ones closest to the Sun Mercury combust in a chart is the most
frequent everybody knows this what does Mercury stands for it stands for
rationality intelligence wit cleverness skill dexterity verbal and mental
ability shrewdness or on the negative side aloofness bitachment a morality
expediency over intellectualization difficulty in thought and communication
so when Mercury goes combust the person might tend to become aloof detached
immoral and so on so forth but yet it is merged with the energy of the Sun so
you may also come in with rationality a good deal of intelligence wit cleverness
etc it depends upon where the Mercury is placed in your chart if Mercury is
placed in exalted places like if it's placed in Virgo or Gemini it is exalted
so it will bring in the positive whereas if you find it in where it is
debilitated then it might not do very well so this is the distinction between
how a planet becomes positive or negative next let us see Venus what it does now
if you look at Venus combust let us see what Venus brings in as the energy of the
soul itself when it is combust okay it brings in affection friendliness love
gentleness sociability harmony balance elegance gracefulness refined sense of
sensuality or on the downside it can be laziness vanity sentimentality vices
and sensual corruption and lack of taste and refinement once again you're going
to see where Venus is placed if it's placed in Taurus and Libra it is
exalted and it'll give you more positive results rather than the negative ones and
you also go to see where physically Venus is also placed in the chart because
the house where Venus is placed it will amplify based on whether it is exalted
or debilitated it will amplify those qualities from that house okay now if we
start speaking about Mars as being combust what does Mars stands for it
stands for gold-directed energies strength courage passion action Mars is an
action-oriented guy competitive and fighting spirit women vigor these are
the positive qualities of Mars or on the downside it may become angry it has
irritability haste impatience inconsistency inconsistency lack of
drive and courage the all-or-the-nothing attitude now once again where Mars is
placed Mars is the ruler of Aries and of Scorpio so if Mars falls in one of
these two houses Mars is in a high position it has got all their strength
and energy right and depending upon where physically Mars is placed it might not
be placed in Scorpio or Aries might placed in some other aspect of houses
right one of the 12 houses so depending upon this even if Mars is combust you
come as a driven person you come as a person that drive and with passion
action-oriented and to want to accomplish stuff it comes naturally to you
that's what combust means the qualities of the planet become merged with your
soul energy okay now let's see Jupiter what it does so Jupiter when it becomes
combust what does it do what are the significations of Jupiter it stands for
growth and expansion it stands for humanitarian and spiritual outlook it
stands for wisdom optimism faith geniality generosity joviality humor
idealism good powers of judgment and discernment or on the downside it can
become overconfident overindulgent very extravagant immorality can become
greedy it can become a realistic in attitude in the sense of wanting the
best of everything once again Jupiter rules two houses two signs which two
signs Pisces and Sagittarius so if Jupiter is sitting in Pisces or Sagittarius
and is combust those attitudes become positive but yet internal to you you
don't have to learn that from the Jupiterian energies in the external world
you have born with it that's what this means okay let's see Saturn finish up
with Saturn now Saturn when it's combust when it is so close to the Sun that
the energy of Saturn is burned what does Saturn significations stand for
Saturn stands for authoritativeness it stands for discipline it stands for
responsibility it stands for conservatism practicality realism durability
constancy consistency or on the downside Saturn also stands for anxiety
inhibition isolation depression rigidity stinginess disappointment loneliness
resignation lack of adaptability melancholy lack of trust and of
suspicion okay so Saturn can become inherently authoritative when it's
merged with the energy of the Sun Saturn rules to zodiac houses which ones
Aquarius and Capricorn so if Saturn is sitting there it'll bring that sense of
naturally becoming authoritative you might find this in the people around you
in your parents in your bosses in your mothers some people are naturally
authoritative when they speak everybody just shuts up and listens you say they
have that inner sense of authority they have a sense of discipline they have a
sense of responsibility which is indeed they don't have to learn that from the
external world now this is what I want you to take away from this video
combust is not necessarily mean that you're going to get something external
related to that planet but you're getting that energy from you and bringing out
the external world think of it like this
