Jupiter’s Combustion - Predictions and Remedies

The Sun, the radiant star at the center of our Solar System, is the vital energy source that sustains life on Earth. In Vedic astrology, it is considered the most dominant of the nine planets, being the largest and brightest. When other planets are at an optimal distance, they benefit from the Sun’s divine energy, enhancing their positive attributes. However, proximity can lead to complications.

Planets like Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn undergo this phenomenon called Combustion when they get too close to the Sun. Mercury combusts six times a year, while the others typically combust once, unless in retrograde motion.

During combustion, a planet’s influence wanes and its traits become obscured, making it difficult to discern its effects. The closer a planet is to the Sun, the more pronounced this effect.

In Vedic astrology, studying planetary combustion is crucial, both through birth charts and by tracking transits. The presence of a combust planet in a birth chart means its effects are activated during such transits. Each planet governs specific life aspects, and during combustion, these areas may be overshadowed, requiring extra effort to maintain balance and harmony.

Jupiter Combust by Transit

By transit Jupiter will be combust from 4th May, 2024 to 3rd June, 2024.

Jupiter is often associated with growth, optimism, abundance, and wisdom. When it is combust, these positive qualities can feel diminished or overshadowed by the Sun’s intense energy. The benevolent influence Jupiter typically provides might be less noticeable or effective during this period.

Since Jupiter also represents expansion and prosperity, its combustion can sometimes signal a time when it’s harder to find success or positivity in these areas. Plans for growth could meet with more obstacles or require more effort to get off the ground.
