Planetary war and combustion

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurudev,My respecful obeisances. Jaya Jagannath!

 

If a planet is combust and at the same time wins the graha-yuddha, then which of the two effects will dominate? And again maybe you can please be so mercifyl and explain to this brainless fool whether we should consider effects of combustions and other astronomical factors in divisions or they are not so important there.

Dear Yasomati Nandana,

 

You are very humble. Combustion is a state of being and is another AVASTHA

like retrogression. In combustion the planet loses its own Rays whereas a

planet in retrogression is full of Rays (Venus being the exception). Thus

the combustion of a planet indicates its lack of influence on the chart by

way of its natural nature and the planet shall be obliged to work for the

sun alone and its significations. It shows a person who is under the

dominating influence of a superior in the matters related to the

signification of the planet. For example if Venus is combust, the artistic

side can be lacking whereas if Mercury is combust the learning abilities are

clouded or simply focused on the activities of the sun (Dharma) and other

learning is not present or not of much consequence.

 

In the converse if a planet is retrograde, then its influence is very strong

as it tends to initially give a strong desire and then abilities as well but

not the results. The results are very difficult to achieve as the person is

over ambitious in matters related to it and has very high GOALS. For example

Saturn is my AK and is retrograde. This shows traditional learning as well

as a strong desire and almost impossible goals to achieve in matters

pertaining to the tradition. I expect too much from everybody in terms of

sincerity and dedication to Jyotish and sometimes this can be very painful.

 

Now what happens in Graha Yuddha? Can a combust planet win? Yes it can. Take

an example. If four planets conjoin (as in the case of one of this list

members), it shows spirituality of a high order and if one of them is

combust and also ahead of the Sun, then it defeats the Sun and although due

to the combustion the native shall be very spiritual or interested in Dharma

and such learning, Sanyasa Yoga cannot occur and renunciation will not

happen in this life. Thus combust planets cannot give Sanyasa as the rays

are not original and the desires pertaining to its significations are

generally suppressed or absent. suppression of desires is not the path to

spirituality, getting over them is true spirituality.

 

Best Wishes
