From Ancient Texts
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
अस्तं गते तु सौम्ये च क्रूरे वा सूर्यसन्निधौ।
तद्बलं हीयते सर्वं फलं नैव प्रदीयते॥
astaṃ gate tu saumye ca krūre vā sūryasannidhau
tadbalaṃ hīyate sarvaṃ phalaṃ naiva pradīyate
When a benefic or malefic planet becomes combust near the Sun, its strength diminishes and it cannot deliver its results.
— Maharshi Parashara
How Jupiter Combustion Happens - Astronomical Explanation
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and orbits the Sun in approximately 12 years. As observed from Earth, Jupiter passes through different positions relative to the Sun.
When Jupiter (Guru) comes within 11 degrees of the Sun, it is considered combust. Due to this proximity, Jupiter is lost in the Sun's brilliance and becomes invisible to the naked eye.
In Vedic astrology, a combust Jupiter is considered weak. It affects wisdom, dharma, education, and spiritual growth.
How it's calculated today:
Sun-Jupiter angular distance ≤ 11°
