Combustion Degrees of Planets in JHora

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha Rao Ji & Other Gurujis,

 

Namaskar.

 

I am posting this message second time!

 

I am a beginner in astrology and use Jagannatha Hora software for

about an year. Please clarify the 'Planetary Combustion' Logic used in

JHora.

 

I studied in some classics and contemporary books that planets becomes

combust when they come in different degrees from Sun. The combustion

degrees as mentioned are:

Mars: 17 deg, Sat 15º, Jup 11º, Ven 10º, Mer 14º.

 

I checked in software such as Parashara Light, Horoscope

Explorer. These software follow the same system as mentioned

above.

But, when I checked in JHora ('Combustion' option under the 'Basics'

tab), it seems that JHora shows a planet as combust only when it is

within Plus or Minus 6 degrees from Sun.

 

Example Chart:

18-May-1981, 10.05 a.m. IST, 77 E 15, 10 N 35.

All softwares show that Mars is combust then.

But, JHora shows no planet is combust.

 

Can I be enlightened -- Why JHora follows such a logic?

 

Is there any option in JHora to set different degrees of combustion

for each planet?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Vino.
