Combust Planets: In Vedic astrology, a planet becomes combust when it comes too close to the Sun. The intense heat and brightness of the Sun weaken the planet’s natural strength, affecting its ability to deliver positive results. This condition is known as “Astha” in Jyotish Shastra. Understanding combust planets can help you decode hidden struggles in career, relationships, health, and finances — and most importantly, apply the right remedies.
