I know the over-powering rays of the Sun cause a "combustion" of a planet when in a conjunction of less than 3 degrees.

It is said that a planet can't quite express it's abilities properly when confronted with the sheer magnitude of the Sun in a Combust aspect...

...but in what way is a planet's effect altered???

Is it only subdued, or is there a change of its expression?

Any ideas of what I should expect from my natal Venus in combustion with my natal Sun at about 2 degrees, and my natal Jupiter in combustion with my natal Sun at less than a degree- 00.20'57"

???

There is some good info here...
You have to scroll down a ways to get to the article.

I have Merc. and Venus combust. Venus is 8' away but Merc. is less than a degree.
Everything trines my Moon though. I think that helps. Moon in the 3rd... and Merc. although combust.. is exalted.

I am interested in this topic as well..
