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 Saturn Combustion Happens - Astronomical Explanation
Saturn orbits the Sun in approximately 29.5 years and passes through different relative positions to the Sun as observed from Earth.
When Saturn comes within 15 degrees of the Sun, it is considered combust. Due to this proximity, Saturn is lost in the Sun's brilliance and becomes invisible to the naked eye.
In Vedic astrology, a combust Saturn is considered weak. It affects discipline, longevity, and karma.
How it's calculated today:
Sun-Saturn angular distance ≤ 15°
