Jupiter in Exaltation Becomes Combust
In Vedic Astrology, a planet is said to be in Combustion (Asta or Moudhya) when it comes very close to the Sun. During this period, the planet loses much of its natural strength and finds it difficult to deliver its full positive results.From July 15 to August 14, 2026, both Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati) and the Sun (Surya) will be transiting Cancer (Karka Rashi).Although Jupiter is exalted (Uccha) in Cancer, its combustion can reduce its benefic influence. As a result, the auspicious blessings normally associated with Jupiter may weaken, while challenging situations may become more noticeable. In general, this one-month period may create financial uncertainty, work-related pressures, and delays in important matters. Those planning to change jobs are advised to postpone major career decisions if possible. Investing money in unfamiliar sectors or high-risk opportunities should also be avoided, as it may lead to financial losses. Let us now see how Jupiter combust may influence each moon sign (Chandra Rashi).
