Are there other authorities to verify Lilly? I am trying to determine if when the Moon is at 5°24' of Leo, and the Sun at 29°54' of Cancer, in two different houses, the Moon is combust.Skyscript said:A planet is combust when it is in conjunction with the Sun and therefore hidden from sight by the light of the Sun. Traditionally this is a serious debility and implies that the planet is weakened or restricted in power. [...]
William Lilly stated that the combust planet should be in the same sign as the Sun and within 8° 30' - beyond this distance, but within 17 ° of the Sun, the planet is said to be under the Sun's beams. This condition is debilitating, but not as severe as combustion.
Thank you
