Basically 95% of his planets are in the 1st quadrant, and his chiron is opposite these, so i have a feeling it is of significance.Im still learning Astrology, so some of this im not familiar with, that you mention....what does combust mean ? And ive not even got to the stage of analyzing the degrees yet, even though i do know degrees do make a difference.Jupiter is is his 11th house, where there is the stellium. Why Would Jupiter being in the 11th house make his AC stronger ? Would this be because of the 11th house traits being similar to Sagittarius ? Here i don't understand what you mean by a "day chart", this is a natal chart im working on.
Chiron is at best a 50/50 planet in terms of astrological use. Given that many Astrologers don't use it, as a beginner you should treat it with some care. It's something you might add in later, but don't rush in now. Before you get to it, you need to be good with the classical 7 and then move on to the outers, if you think it will help. The classic 7 are the most important planets. The others may add further information but that isn't always the case.
Combust means that the planet can't be seen at night because it's too close to the Sun. The lack of visibility is a weakening factor. Roughly speaking planets disappear from view around 15 - 17 degrees from the Sun and reappear (the other side of the Sun) about the same distance. Hellenistic Astrology used a blanket 15 degrees, Medieval Astrology, which in fact lasted well into modern times, used a three fold system. within 17 degrees the planet became 'under the beams' within 8 degrees it became combust and within 17 minutes, it becam cazimi, which was taken as a position of strength. When Astrology was revived in the early twentieth century, these distinctions fell out of use. I think the main reason for that is that if they were retained, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and indeed all the other planets added in would have to be taken as powerless. Now some of us think that is the case anyway but I don't want to bias you too much. The lack of visibility of a normally visible planet is worth considering as a weakness, even if you use the outers and the rest.
The eleventh house is a strong house, it's succeedent to the tenth. That is as the day goes on the sign and planets in the eleventh will move into the tenth and become angular. The eleventh is also sextile to the Ascendant, if you are using whole sign houses, which is a good situation. Now you aren't using whole sign houses, but you can still take the eleventh's nature as a succeedent house as strengthening Jupiter.

The other planets in the stellium are sun, venus, pluto, saturn, but then again i don't understand what you mean by a day chart ?
I'm sorry, I should have made the nature of a day chart clear. I'm glad Channah stepped in to answer that. The distinction between day charts (ones where the Sun is above the Ascendant/Descendant axis) and night charts (where it is below) is another one that doesn't get used much by modern Astrologers. It's a pity because the Moon rules night charts and plays a much fuller role than it does in the psychological approach.
Venus with Jupiter adds some strength to it, especially if it is close. Again Pluto as an outer is best added in when you are sure of the others. However most modern Astrologers treat Pluto as being 'malefic' in nature. That is it hinders or makes matters worse rather than better. Pluto is not as strong as Venus or Jupiter so don't take that as being the kiss of doom to your chart. I get along well without Pluto but if you want to add it in as you progress then you are of course very free to do so.
