Hello everyone! Please excuse this dilettante question, but as I'm a newbie to traditional astrology, I still struggle with the basics, so I'd appreciate any help on this. So the question is: how do you deal with combust planets in a natal chart - considering them as both general and particular significators (eg. Mars is a general sigificator of war, conflicts, injuries, young men etc., but in a chart with Aries/Scorpio on MC it becomes a significator of profession, fame, reputation and so on too).
I mean, I know that at least in horary combustion is one of the most serious debilities, it shows hidden matters, things that cannot see or be seen properly, however it's hard for me to apply these rules on natal delineation (don't even know whether they can applied this way )... I assumed that combust planets' effect in natal would be somehow diminished or problematic, but I know quite a few exceptions from this rule (eg. i know personally 2 females with Mars out of sect combust, and they both are really, really choleric (though both their charts are rather earthy/melancholic), getting mad pretty easy; one of them used to be a professinal athlete, too). Well generally speaking, I kind of struggle with understanding this combustion thing /perhaps caused by the fact I personally have no planets combust/under sunbeams/, so I would be really grateful for any advices how to read it - thank you in advance and please excuse my English
