Is a planet combust or under the beams if it is within 8° or 17 ° respectively of the sun, but within a different sign or different sign and house than the sun's? I'm assuming it is, but not sure. Is there any difference?

Fudugazi said:KK - combust is only in relation to a conjunction with the sun (the sun being so hot, and not a planet). Within 17' of the sun, the planet in question is cazimi, which is actually a good thing - the sun lends it extra strength.
Fudugazi said:Yes - I meant in relation to your reply, which mentioned planets in general.
That said - it's very useful information for other applications! I had no idea the orbs of planets were smaller when approaching an aspect, and larger when departing. Seems strange to me, but perhaps the orb of a planet is influenced by the contact with another - which would make sense.
