Jupiter ast (Guru Ast / Jupiter Combust) in vedic astrology

In Vedic astrology, Jupiter ast (Combust Jupiter) occurs when Jupiter comes very close to the sun in the zodiac. Due to the sun’s intense brightness and heat, Jupiter loses its visible strength and becomes combust (Astangata or Moudhya). This condition may reduce Jupiter’s ability to fully express its wisdom and benefic qualities.

Jupiter represents knowledge, wisdom, wealth, marriage, children, spirituality, ethics and guidance. When Jupiter becomes combust, its external blessings may appear reduced, or its positive qualities may become more internal and subtle.
