Astrology. Part I, p. 22

"Q. 27: Do planets in combustion get Astangata evil?

Ans:

Moudhya Dosha of hara planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus

and Saturn)

when they are in certain positions in proximity to the Sun,

causes evil,

technically known as Astangata.

Mercury and Sun occupying two different Rasis though in the

same house do not cause much harm.

In Ayurdaya no harana is made for such Budha.

Saravali calls Moudhya planets as Vikala planets.

According to it, Vikala planets cause much evil.

"A person having Vikala planets will be driven out of his

country and home.

He will be unclean, will be living in foreign countries,

molested by enemies.


4 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

He will have his wealth taken away by enemies."

It is true that the above evils may occur if Moudhya planets

are weak.

If they are strong, evils will be minimised.

Instead, he will experience some good by his contact with the

Sun.

Here the Sun must be strong, rule Ishta houses and occupy good

places.

Nipuna Yoga, for example, is caused by Budha Moudhya.

Prasna Marga is silent on this point."

from B.V. Raman. (1992, 4th ed.). A Catechism of Astrology.

Part I, p. 22:

Does Shani have Moudhya?

"Q. 25:

Is the view that Saturn has no moudhya (combustion)


5 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

Is the view that Saturn has no moudhya (combustion)

correct?

Ans:

Saturn has moudhya as do the other planets.

When he is within fifteen degrees forward or backward of the

Sun, he has Moudhya.

But in determining longevity, Saturn's combustion is ignored,

and no Ashtangata harana (reduction) is made on this

account."

BPL: if the combust Shani also lacks favorable drishti, this condition can

give an autistic effect in social behavior regarding the mainstream

customary practices, laws, and conventions of a people.

With no malice aforethought, the native is simply not aware of the needs

or expectations of the institution, corporation, or greater social structure.

The laws of one's society may be "invisible" or one may significantly fail

to grasp the conventional social practices of the time.

Example: Tipper Gore = Surya yuti asta Shani = 3-deg of Simha,

the rashi of politics. Mrs. Gore famously announced her campaign

against the moral threat to American youth posed by "subliminal

against the moral threat to American youth posed by "subliminal

Satanic lyrics" in rock and roll music.

Most of the USA listened to rock and roll music at the time; and

very few people outside a small conservative fringe held a belief in

the reality of subliminal-message recordings.

Her "socially tone deaf" judgment became a major political faux

pas which ultimately damaged her husband's political career.

BPL: if the dagdha Chandra also

condition can give an autistic effect

in matters of home and

housekeeping, care of children or

housekeeping, care of children or

elderly parents, and roots within a

culture or place on Earth. The

native is characteristically

self-concerned and somewhat

self-referential in emotional bonding

behaviors. Being somewhat

insecure in one's own emotional

basis, the native may need extra

reinforcement to ensure the strength

of emotional bonds. to derive

security via public praise (Surya)

for parenting, caretaking, land

stewardship, protection of the

weak, patriotic acts (Chandra).

If Chandra is an unfavorable

influence e.g. for Dhanushya

lagna and for Kumbha lagna, then

dagdha Soma can create a

positive outcome by reducing the

capabilities of a negative agent.

With no malice aforethought, the

native is simply not aware of the

spirits of a place, or the feelings of

parents or children within the family.

The family may feel "invisible" to

the native who is noticeably

self-concerned, lives much on the

fashion stage, and somewhat

rootless. The native may be able to

promote the family's political

interests but one has limited capacity

to respond emotionally to the home

life.

Examples:

Queen Rania of Jordan =

dagdha Chandra in Simha =

not only very fashionable but

also spends much time

traveling and discussing

politics.

USA President Lyndon B.

Johnson was not known for his

sensitivity to the feelings of

others. He was however a very

If Kuja is an unfavorable influence

Kuja can create a positive outcome

by reducing the capabilities of a

psychic and physical harm that one's

own competitive or aggressive actions

may cause. The victim may feel (or

literally become) "invisible".

Example

USA Senator Teddy

Kennedy= Mangala within 4

degree of Surya in Kumbha.

Kennedy was famously

accused but not convicted in

the automobile crash and

drowning death of his

campaign worker, with whom

he was suspected of being

sexually active [Mangala].

Despite being the driver of the

car, and not having tried

whatsoever to rescue her, he

claimed to be fully innocent. He

seemed permanently

Combust graha lose their strength;

they have less and less power as

they get closer and closer to Ravi.

Lord Budha rules Logic. He suffers

less and less power as He becomes

more and more solipsistic because

Surya the Ego controls Budha's

reasoning.

Combust Budha loses the

power of clear and objective

argumentative thinking.

This is a very common situation and


12 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

This is a very common situation and

should not be over-weighted.

However in general the effect = a

self-reflexive mentality.

The native simply does not

notice the thoughts or ideas of

others. Often one

appropriates the intellectual

property of others due to a

sincere but self-focused logic.

One's interior argument says

that these new ideas are

entirely one's own.

Were one to look outside

oneself, into the broader

culture, one would likely

discover that most ideas are

cultural not individual, and

furthermore that even the most

innovative ideas are generally

produced by a group of

similarly trained experts (such

as simultaneous inventions in

two countries, or by two


13 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

two countries, or by two

scientists at the same time in

the same land.)

However, the native with

combust Budha suffers from a

self-reflexive viewpoint and the

habit of looking outside the self

is not developed.

If retrograde, combust Budha

requires three repetitions of the

narrative. If both retrograde

(vakri) and combust, three

repetitions of a self-reflexive

and self-referential narrative!

If dagdha Budha is severely

combust receiving drishti from

Shani, the native's failure attribute

proper credit to one's collaborators

may cause trouble such as a

lawsuit.

Otherwise: solipsism, narcissism,

and self-reflexive thinking are

unfortunately quite normal.

The male native with asta Shukra may

waste a good deal of time looking for

a "divinely perfect" (Surya) female

partner. As with Shukra-Simha, one

expects marriage to provide ideal

conditions for the promotion of one's

own ego interests. One may be simply

unable to identify the interests of the

Other, and proceed on the working

assumption that the Other has no

interests and will not develop any.

Relationships with women are

difficult in general as the native

attracts highly egocentric or

uncooperative women into his life,

both professionally and personally.

Often the spouse is reclusive; her

husband outshines her.

Shukra can create a positive outcome

autistic effect in matters of

government, regularity of habit,

ability to undertake spiritual

penance (fasting, austerities),

personal and communal routine,

lawfulness, ability to conform to the

social model for correct personal

behavior (ethics).

Weakness of ayusha-karaka Shani

may result in weakened ability to

manage Time, to be punctual, but

also may have positive effects of

disregard for aging, lack of fear,

disinclination to "jump on the

bandwagon" of negative public

opinion, and general freedom-

increase of nonconformity in the

social viewpoint.


19 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

social viewpoint.

If Shani is an unfavorable influence

e.g. for Simha lagna, and Karkata

lagna then moudhya Shanaicarya

can create a positive outcome by

reducing the capabilities of a

negative agent.

When a graha approaches too close to the burning rays of Surya, and

the graha occupies the same rashi with Surya, that too-close graha

becomes combust = dagdha = moudhya = ashtangata).

Combust planets lose much of their positive power and give only

superficial benefits.

E.g., for Thula lagna , Shukra rules radical lagna (1st house of

body) and Ashtamsha Rashi (8th house of conditions of death =

emergencies and secrets).

Shukra + Surya in Mithunawould normally make a person

physically attractive, with lovely balanced features and a pleasing

complexion.


20 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

complexion.

combust Shukra will give only a superficially balanced

appearance. The person may have some obvious disproportion in

the physical form. He will lack the sparkling, deep vitality of real

health (1st house) while he remains largely ignorant of magical

secrets and healing knowledge (8th house).

In practice, severely combust interior planets = Chandra, Budha, and

Shukra = sitting within 2 or 3 degrees of Ravi = clearly have

cancellation of strength for the affairs of their own bhava.

All seven of the hara graha when moudhya can reduce expected

results in their dasha/bhukti period. Usually the trouble is not serious,

but merely a weakening of the most positive potential.

For example, a combust L-2+L-5 Guru for the Vrischika native

may, during Brihaspati's period, reduce a very promising

forecast for expanded wealth and creativity by limiting the

support coming from one's birth family (2) and children (5).

Foundational support from the very houses which should expand,

is less than necessary for full expression of potential. Thus a

potentially 'great' time-period becomes simply a good one.

combustion is only one factor in evaluating a planetary ruler.


21 of 23 1/20/2012 5:32 PM

Drishti upon a planet from other benefic or malefic planets remains

extremely important.

A minor degree of combustion = one of those planetary maladies that

can be corrected by remedial mantra chanting, consciously offer

Seva, or by a carefully inspected and properly energized gemstone.
