Jupiter is the most auspicious planet in Vedic astrology. It is the planet of wisdom, religious knowledge, good deeds, good fortune, expansion, prosperity, etc. A combust Jupiter may lose some of its strengths, but Jupiter is also the most powerful planet, and so, its abilities to do good are minimally affected.
Nonetheless, a combust Jupiter may still pose some challenges for the native of the ascendant chart, such as:
- Difficulty in finding mentors or guidance regarding any aspect of life, whether that be education, money making, business, technical skills
- Problems in getting along with elders; such individuals are not liked by the elders of the family and they may be disliked by others
- Lack of social standing and reputation in the society; others do not or will not respect them easily
- Person with a combust Jupiter will not care much about charitable deeds; he/she will be more interested in their own benefit, even if it comes at the risk or behest of others’ expense
- Challenges with gaining wisdom and knowledge; the person may face setbacks in gaining knowledge, more so if it is religious education or through dharmic pursuits.
- Low self-esteem, because Jupiter instills a sense of confidence in one’s wisdom. So, when Jupiter is combust, it may cause the person to suffer self-doubt about their own expertise and experience about life.
- Challenges and obstacles in performing any religious procedures
- Stability of marriage is considerably affected; a person with a combust Jupiter may find it difficult to make their marriage last even if they find the one they love and get married to them
- Weakness in the power of destiny; they may feel that nothing works out for them
- Weight gain and other problems related to the digestive system may also be problems for the person
For girls, if Jupiter is affected, they may also face problems related to their children, or they may not have any in the first place depending on how badly Jupiter is afflicted, such as being conjunct with malefics in addition to being combust by the Sun. Also, because Sun combusts Jupiter, the person would suffer marriage issues primarily as a result of their own ego getting in the way.
