What does combust means? My mercury is said to be combust because of its degree???

What else can you tell about the strengths and weakness of my ruler?

What happens to it during progression to cancer?

Thank you!

- A planet is combust when it is in conjunction with the Sun
and therefore hidden from sight by the light of the Sun.
Traditionally this is a serious debility and implies that the planet is weakened or restricted in power.
However, if the planet is within 17 minutes of the Sun, it is termed Cazimi
- in the heart of the Sun
- and considered strengthened by the union.

In his Introduction, William Lilly stated
that the combust planet should be in the same sign as the Sun and within 8° 30'
- beyond this distance, but within 17 ° of the Sun, the planet is said to be under the Sun's beams.
This condition is debilitating, but not as severe as combustion. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/combust.html
