Cazimi, combust or under sunbeams

Hi Clair Y,

That is correct.



I think you might have some misconceptions.

It is the planet that is weak, not the native.

Mercury's position is also important. A direct Mercury under the light moving away from Sun is stronger than a direct Mercury under the light moving toward Sun and both are stronger than Rx Mercuries moving toward or away from Sun.

Mercury is not the only significator of communications.

Some signs are voiceless, and some signs speak. You need to look at Mercury's sign, and then to the ruler of that sign and its condition, because Mercury will get strength or not from that planet, plus any aspects to Mercury can strengthen or weaken it.

Ibn-Ezra says a planet under the light is like a person in prison and a planet combust is like a dying person.

We are all imprisoned in something, and being imprisoned in the music industry is not so bad a place to be. Others are imprisoned in court rooms or hospitals, because they're lawyers and doctors and then some are in a real prison.

H1 denotes speech, among things, so you'll want to look at the H1 ruler and planets in H1 and in particular if any of those planets control Mercury.

Anyway, planets don't exist in a vacuum, you have to look at them in their complete context.
