This condition affects the planet ability to deliver positive results. But the effects can vary depending on the planet involved its house placement aspects & overall horoscope.
What Does It Mean When a Planet Is Combust?
Combust planets are those planets that are located near the Sun typically within a specific number of degrees (usually 8-10 degrees) from the Sun in the zodiac. The intense heat & energy of the Sun overshadow the planet natural qualities weakening its impact.
The Sun symbolizes authority power & ego & when a planet is too close to it the planet energies become suppressed or distorted. This can create challenges in the areas of life governed by that planet.

- Mercury
- Venus
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Rahu & Ketu (in some cases)
Each planet has a different range within which this is considered combust & this range affects the intensity of combustion.
