DIGNITY
Combust
A planet is combust when it sits within roughly 8° of the Sun (with cazimi being the tighter ±17′ favorable subset).
Combustion weakens the combust planet's expression — it's 'burned up' by the Sun's light. Traditional electional rule: avoid relying on a combust significator. The Moon and Mercury are most often combust due to their orbits.
