Explanation: Venus and Jupiter may have caught your attention lately. The recent close conjunction of the two brightest planets in recent evening skies has been hard to miss. With Jupiter at the top, starting on May 30 and ending on June 8, their close approach was chronicled daily, left to right, in the featured panels from Maharashtra, India. Near the western horizon, the evening sky colors and exposures used for each panel depend on the local conditions near sunset. At their closest on June 9, the celestial pair appeared to be only about three times the width of a full moon apart. Of course, on that date, the two planets were physically separated by over 600 million kilometers in their orbits around the Sun. In the coming days, Jupiter will slowly settle into the sunset glare, but Venus will continue to move farther from the Sun in the western sky to excel in its current role as the brilliant evening star.

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

This just so happens to be perfect for the upcoming #planetaryconjunction on Dec. 21st. This seal would be best used in tandem with other castings during that time.

This seal features a rune system that I made that I will publishing on my Patreon this month!
