#planet conjunction

To know if a planet is conjoined with another planet, we have to consider the Deeptansh assigned value or degree for each planet. The assigned Deeptansh Degree of each planet is :

Sun - 15 degrees

Moon - 12 degree

Mars - 8 degrees

Mercury - 7 degrees

Jupiter - 9 degrees

Venus - 7 degrees

Saturn - 9 degrees

To derive at the conjunction of 2 planets we need to check for the mean value of their deeptansh degree.

For e.g Sun and Moon conjunction degree span will be = (Deeptansh degree (DD) of Sun + Moon) divided by 2

Sun & Moon conjunction span = (DD of Sun + DD of Moon) / 2

Hence the conjunction span of Sun and Moon = (15 + 12) / 2 = 27 / 2 = 13.5

So in a horoscope, if Sun and Moon are at a distance of 0 to 13.5 degree of each other then they are said to be in conjunction or conjoined.

Similarly, the limits of conjunction of Sun and Mercury calculated from Deeptansh = (15 + 7) / 2 = 22/2 = 11 degress. So if the difference between Mercury and Sun placement is <=11 degrees then they are conjunct.

Example : If in a chart the Sun is at 2 degrees and Mercury is at 14 degree then the difference between then is 14-2 = 12 degree which is > 11 degree. Hence they are not in conjunction in this case.

Below is the conjunction limit of different planets as calculated from the deeptansh degrees :

Sun + Moon = 13.5 degrees

Sun + Mars = 11.5 degrees

Sun + Mercury = 9.5 degrees

Sun + Jupiter = 12 degrees

Sun + Venus = 11 degrees

Sun + Saturn = 10.5 degrees

Moon + Mars = 10 degrees

Moon + Mercury = 9.5 degrees

Moon + Jupiter = 10.5 degrees

Moon + Venus = 10 degrees

Moon + Saturn = 10.5 degrees

Mars + Mercury = 7.5 degrees

Mars + Jupiter = 8.5 degrees

Mars + Venus = 7.5 degrees

Mars + Saturn = 8.5 degrees

Mercury + Jupiter = 8 degrees

Mercury + Venus = 7 degrees

Mercury + Saturn = 8 degrees

Jupiter + Venus = 8 degrees

Jupiter + Saturn = 9 degrees

Venus + Saturn = 8 degrees

Hence to study conjunction of 2 planets - we need to look for the distance between them. If the distance is less than or equal to the above values, the 2 planets are in conjunction.

Similarly the degree of combustion of planets is defined as the degree span within which a planet must be in affinity of Sun to be combusted. B

Below are the degree of combustion of each planet :

Mercury : 13 degrees (14 degrees direct, 12 degrees retrograde)

Moon : 12 degrees

Mars : 17 degrees

Venus : 9 degrees (10 degrees direct, 8 degrees retrograde)

Jupiter : 11 degrees

A bit of May 5th history...

1260 - Kublai Khan, grandson of Ghengis Khan, becomes ruler of Mongol Empire (pictured)

1862 - Cinco de Mayo: Mexicans defeat French forces of Napoleon III

1877 - Sitting Bull leads his Lakota Tribe to Canada

1893 - ‘Panic of 1893′ causes a large crash in the NY Stock Exchange

1941 - 1st modern perfume, Chanel No.5, released by Coco Chanel

1961 - Alan Shepard becomes 1st American in space

2 planets can be related to each other in a horoscope in one of the 3 ways :

Conjunction : When 2 planets are in conjunction with each other following the rule listed here For example : Sun at 10 degrees and Moon at 16 degrees i.e separated by 6 degrees

Exchange : When 2 planets are placed in each other's zodiac signs. For example : Saturn in Aries and Mars in Capricorn.
