Saturn is the planet of karmic justice, deeds, delays, grief, sorrows, misfortune, hard work, willpower, discipline, etc. Saturn being combust is a relatively more problematic phenomenon because it directly affects the person’s ability to work hard or believe in their efforts and ability to achieve whatever they wish.
Some of the impacts of a combust Saturn in Vedic astrology are:
- Suffering random problems that make the person think that life is not fair and especially unfair towards them
- Person may put extreme levels of effort only to obtain very minimal or ordinary results, which may cause the person to always remain unhappy and unsatisfied with themselves
- Problems in working with subordinates; the person’s subordinates at work will not respect him/her, or they might cheat him/her in some manner
- At home, problems with servants or household help may also happen
- Considerable self-doubt leading to feelings of lowered self-esteem and belief
- Delays in life events – job promotions, marriage, any auspicious events
- Skin issues such as psoriasis, similar issues with the person’s nails
- Alcohol addiction and potential chances of drugs and substance abuse
- Lack of discipline; the person may start something but they will never stick to one task and end up never completing it
- Poor willpower, so the person will end up giving up on their own efforts after a short period of time
