अस्तंगत / मौड्यमी (Combustion)

सूर्य के बहुत पास आने पर ग्रह की अभिव्यक्ति कमजोर मानी जाने वाली स्थिति।

अस्तंगत स्थिति सूर्य से ग्रह की कोणीय दूरी देखकर तय की जाती है। इसका अर्थ हर कुंडली में एक जैसा नहीं होता; ग्रह और भाव की स्थिति भी देखी जाती है।

उदाहरण

Venus combust the Sun: Venus is within 10° of the Sun — relationship matters and aesthetic sensibilities may require more conscious nurturing
Jupiter combust: spiritual guide's authority is less clear; independent wisdom must be cultivated rather than received
Mercury is most often combust (due to its proximity to the Sun) — this is less alarming than combustion of outer planets

सामान्य प्रश्न

What does it mean when a planet is combust in astrology?

In Vedic astrology, a planet is combust when it comes within a specific angular distance of the Sun. The Sun's intense light 'burns' the planet, weakening its independent expression. The orb varies by planet: Moon within 12°, Mars within 17°, Mercury within 14°, Jupiter within 11°, Venus within 10°, Saturn within 15°. A combust planet's significations (marriage for Venus, guru for Jupiter, siblings for Mars) need more conscious attention.

Is a combust Moon bad?

A combust Moon (within 12° of the Sun) occurs during the waning crescent and new moon phases. In Vedic astrology, this weakens the Moon's ability to independently provide emotional security, intuition, and maternal connection. It can indicate emotional challenges or a complex relationship with the mother. However, it is not uniformly 'bad' — the chart context, Lagna, and Dasha periods modify the results significantly.
