I know that Mercury in close conjunction with the Sun is termed a “combust”. I don’t know if this term is used for other close conjunctions, but I like to use it for ease of understanding. I have seen several combusts play out in the natal chart. First of all, the definition of a combust is an orb of zero to five degrees between two planets. The key factor in a combust is that each degree makes a very, very big difference. In other words, an exact combust will have a very different outcome/manifestation than a five degree combust.


Sun/Mercury Combust

These natives are as sensitive as horseradish.I want to say when horseradish touches a very sensitive part of your body. YIKES. What is wrong with me, but you get the picture. I eat a lot of hot pepper. I like the hottest pepper known to man–Carolina reaper. If you do not wash your hands and touch your eyes or anything else, you will get a burn of whalloping proportions. I say that to say that the exact combust natives cannot take a person looking cross eyed at them. If you look at them, look the way you would look at a pit bull. If they ask you a direct question, do a rosary before you answer.

Sun/Venus Combust

These natives are too people pleasing. My heart goes out to them and I can relate because I have a Libra Ascendant. The Sun/Venus combust seems to be more of a vise( i.e locked in position) than the Libra Ascendant. Venus, just, wants to be soooooo likeable. The men who have this seem to have a certain appearance. I call it the “vanilla,bland male model” look. I don’t like it myself. It makes them too pretty. Remember the adage, I would not date a guy who is prettier than I am?

Sun/Neptune Combust
This bad boy conjunction can make the native swim with the fishes i.e live in a fantasy world.The actual world may, simply, be too difficult for their sensitive natures The Sun/neptune combust is classic for addictions and one can understand why. These natives may be very creative, but they may not be able to bring their creativity to the world in a practical manner. The native’s father may have been absent or drug addicted, himself. This is a sad one.

Pluto Combust Venus

This native may be much too intense when he is in love. This is through no fault of his own. We do not choose our charts. We do not choose our struggles. We do not choose our gifts. We can, simply, play the hand we are dealt, with as much grace as possible. I have seen very sad consequences of the exact Pluto/Venus combust. The person committed suicide, as a result of a break up with his girl friend.This is an extreme expression of this combust, but I am sure you will remember it from now on.


Mercury/Neptune Combust
Mercury/Neptune is classic for a story teller. It is, also, classic for a liar. One trait can merge into the other, as is the case with all traits on a spectrum.I have seen natives with the conjunction make their own fantasy world and live within a a la The Glass Menagerie. My fave author in the entire world–Stephen King–has it at 3-4 degrees. This is a nice distance. I think the more exact the aspect, the greater tendency to be a liar.

Pluto Combust the Sun

These natives are natural leaders, which is a good thing. The very close combust may make for a person who is too controlling. I would need your input here because I have not had much personal experience with this one

How can Mercury be combust in conjunction to Neptune? A planet can only be combust in conjunction with the sun. Same goes for Pluto-Venus.

Anyways, I have Mercury-Neptune exact. Many people have told me that I am a ****** liar, and it's true. I'm just not good at lying, and it's usually because I don't like lying in the first place. I do live in my imagination however lol.

I have the Sun/Venus combust. What kind of effect would this aspect have if you are a female?

There are Cazimis as well. When a planet is in conjunction with the Sun at an orb of 17 minutes or less, it is said to be in Cazimi. Unlike Combust planets, Cazimi planets are highly energized.

I, 1000%. disagree about the cazimi being positive. I have not seen that in my experience with charts. I have heard it said, but not seen it play out.

I see. Cazimis are rare though. From what you've observed, does the effect get even worse with Cazimis ?

While I can agree with you regarding the strength of the degrees and the Sun-Mercury conjunction being combust, it has to be in conjunction with the sun to be considered a combust in technical terms. This is because the power of the sun can easily burn the planets, debilitating them in the process. This is the theory behind combustion (thinking about the actual definition of combustion and apply that astrologically).

That's how I see it.

YES, but all planets that are too close, except perhaps Jupiter, seem to be debilitated. That is my point about what I see in real life charts.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there for my own reasons.

People can disagree, as long as they are nice about it and you have been

I have sun combust mercury (orb is 1.44). Outside of work, you can say pretty much anything you want to me and I won't be offended. However, at work, I am quick to anger since my job is incredibly stressful (it has me on edge). I noticed that my patience has diminished significantly with age. It's rather odd.

My MC is at the end of Libra, so my 10th house ruler (Venus) is in my 4th house.

The only planets I have in my 10th house are Saturn and Pluto, which are both in Scorpio. Saturn is my chart ruler.
