"WHAT IS COMBUST? When a planet is within 5 degrees of the SUN.
WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS? The integrity of the planet conjunct the Sun is compromised.

MERCURY COMBUST
Your communication talents and skills will need help in this lifetime. Your timing is often completely off or inappropriately missing. Communication skills need help. You may also be prone to accidents and possible clumsy movement"

Mercury/Sun conjunction they say it's highly possibility that the Suns energy would be debilitating by combusting or challenging the analytical potential of an individual. They cannot separate ego from their thinking.
The Sun is symbolically "burning" the persons mental capabilities.
This could create inflexibility in thinking because to change their thinking is also deflating the persons ego, causing over sensitivity.

I don't think I feel this, my thinking is very sharp and I'm very flexible in my thinking.
Is my thinking tied up with who I am and what makes me feel good?? Yes, of course! But who's isn't?
I very strongly believe in what I believe in, but who doesn't?
If someone has a differing opinion I'm not offended I love listening to other people. Are they going to sway my thinking? If they make sense to me, yes! Is it going to deflate my ego? No...I love learning new things.

So I don't get this Merc combust or see how it's so bad? Do you? What an i missing?

My mother has this exact. Every degree really, really counts in this. I think the close combust is one of the hardest aspects to have in the chart. It makes for a VERY hard time pulling back and assessing.

To me, the single hardest aspect in a chart is Dejanira conj the Moon.

This is so very, very painful.

However, the close combust is up there as one of my hardest aspects.

That is my opinion.

Boy Ami...I just don't think its so hard, or that it deserves that reputation.
It's just not that bad, to me?
I see some of what is said but it's nothing that serious, easily corrected.
I'm not over sensitive and my thinking is very clear and I have an exact combust.

For what it's worth you come off to me as a lot less hypersensitive to what people say and what their opinions are than plenty of others so I don't think you have much to worry about.

Thanks Pixie, I kind of like hearing different opinions. And ppl say rude things to me at times, to each their own....getting upset only affects my day poorly.

I'm just wondering if other combusts are different?

That is my opinion, in general, not in particular to you, Gabby. xx

I do have to say, I always have computer issues, they break down on me regularly...like maybe my energy drains the life out of them(or burns them up)
My kids won't let me touch their computers, literally my daughter wants me to wear rubber gloves when I use hers because I seem to drain electrical so quickly.
Little things start messing up and then the whole thing! Lol

That's why I'm stuck using my phone all the time(rubber otter box) and why my posts are so terribly written at times(typos/auto correct) lol

So maybe it effects me more physically? Lol
My combust even falls on the cusp of my 3rd house....

Did your mom have anything else that fell on her combust or made hard aspects? Did you say one time her Chiron was around that spot or was it conjunct something in your chart?

Gabby dear

You asked for honesty or I would not have answered

I think the combust makes for a very hard sense of getting out of one's own way.

One has a hard time detaching, through no fault of one's own.

One has a hard time pulling back and realizing that slights and other things that come at one may be the fault of others and not oneself.

For this reason, it is one of the hardest aspects in the chart imo

My mother has several hard things. One is the exact combust. The other is the asteroid Sado conj the Moon, exact. The other is Saturn conj the MC. She, also, has a Cappy ASC which is one of the hardest ASC, if not the hardest.

Ugh, that's another bad one(Dej/Moon) I own!
I will agree that one is super bad!!

I just realized tonight when talking to virgo28 my son has Dej/Sun conjunct square Pluto.
The conjunction is 3-4 degrees and the square is more than that bit still, I don't like to see that.

Yuck! Those do not sound fun at all....I remember the Sado conjunct Moon, she sounds just miserable! Are you guys doing better, speaking at all?

I would hate to have a saggy 12th house, it's like all your good stuff(Jupiter)is so out of reach!

My whole life has been a lesson in learning to detach, let go and let others have responsibility for their actions instead of me taking the blame.
I didn't realize that was part of the combust energy, I've always blamed that on my virgo moon.

I'm very good with it today, I let things go and let ppl own their own mistakes. It's taken me many many years to get over the tendency to blame myself for everything.

I talked to her tonight.

It is so weird. I have an amazing chart.

It has so many blessings but the one exact aspect Child conj Dejanira has overshadowed everything and made me really, really struggle.

I was fated to be abused imo.

Haha thanks guys, making me feel real great about my afflicted Cappy Asc and Saggy 12th house with 2 planets therein although you guys are right, it's certainly no peach and I'd change it if I could. Fire Ascendants have it made in the shade.

The love of my life had cap AC....he was so yummy!! But life was not a cake walk for him, he accepted to much burden as his own and always forgot to take time to enjoy life or hold onto things that made him happy, he always chose to do what would be "appropriate" instead of what his heart wanted. Thats probably why when he fell down in a hole emotionally, it was a very dark hole that he barely made it out of.

I bet Pluto crossing your AC is tough right now!! I was born with it on my AC...is your life getting a transformation by Pluto?

You know what, my mother has a Cappy ASC and Saturn conj the MC, exact. This seems really hard. I was trying to get a feel for it in the other thread. I think the person puts an uber perfection burden on themselves.

Ami Anne- I have put up my chart a few times in different areas around the site, I believe you did take a look it when I first joined about a year ago, I can put it up again if you are interested.. it's a pretty lame chart.

Gabby- Pluto crossed my Asc/Neptune/Saturn exact conjunction, opposite Jupiter 1 deg for nearly 3 years with retrogrades from 2012-2014. I thought childhood was bad but these were by far the most painful and difficult times of my life thus far, and what I consider to be the worst event of my life (so far) happened on Pluto's third pass exact conjunction to Asc/Neptune/Saturn, with my then-partner's exact third pass Saturn return conjunction, ON THE SAME DAY. Astrology never fails. Power struggles indeed. In a nutshell , all was lost, Pluto took everything from me those years. The eclipses during these years also took their heavy toll. Uranus was squaring all these planets at the same time (Asc, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter). I felt like I couldn't breathe, my chest was so tight and filled with anxiety, the depression and fog were so very thick... Everything was so intense for so many years I chose to drift in daydreams instead of trying to work on the problems. Currently tUranus is opposing Moon and tPluto is squaring it, I just want these two planets to leave me alone!

Sorry if I derailed, was not my intent but its seems like that's all I ever do.

Maybe the intensity of it is lessened depending on the modality/aspects/houses/etc. I would think a Sag Sun/Mercury combustion wouldn't be as bad as, like, a Taurus or Leo combustion. No offense to anyone who has that lol.

Gosh Deep, I'm so sorry!! That's sounds so tough!! If you want to talk I'm hear for you!

If you can will you give me more info on what happened?? I can give you my email?
I wonder if I need to warn the guy I know...it's about to happen to him, his AC is at cap@14-15...

I have Pluto on AC, I don't know what it's like not to be dealing with Pluto on my AC, it's where I live.

My life has been painful and full of destruction and rebuilding. My life is about deconstruction and reconstruction.

I'm going to be turning 40 next year...and here we go again, i feel everything twisting and turning, it's churning a new energy, a new me will pop out into a new life AGAIN soon....lol
I swear I'm a chameleon!

0-12/14 years my life/soul was totally destroyed, morbid abuse

12-25/27 years was total destruction because the abuse from my childhood was resurfacing in ways I couldn't undestand, I was starting to want to heal but falling apart because I didn't understand what was happening.

25-38 has been a rebuild--I understood what had resurfaced and was dealing with it.

I'm 39...and I've crawled out of the hole I'm just waiting for my physical life to catch up with my new thinking and emotions....
I can feel im in the middle of an energy shift. It feels like right now I'm standing stationary after being retrograde for so long.
Retrograde has been necessary in order to heal, to soley focus on my internal healing.
But I'm gearing up to start moving direct again! Yeah!!
I can use what I've learned to help others....I'm so excited!
With every shift my appearance, home, being married vs single, my work and religion/spirituality totally change in way you barely recognize me. It's a 360 everytime and it gets better, I get better everytime!
That's what Pluto has been to me!! I love Pluto and hate Pluto!!

Gabby:

I have sun conjunct mercury (my orb is 1 degree). I haven't found any difficulty with this aspect personally. According to others, I have strong communication skills and can provide objective advice for handling various problems. There are a number of challenging aspects in my chart, but this isn't one of them.

What does Deijanira conjunct the moon indicate?? I don't have this aspect, but I do have Deijanira opposite chiron.
