The combustion effect given by Sun to Mars when a combination of them is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer is likely to be very strong and hence Mars may lose much of its power due to combustion, in this situation. This is due to the fact that Mars is debilitated in the sign of Cancer and hence it gets weak due to such debilitation. Such debilitated Mars is not capable of fighting the combustion effect produced by Sun in a strong manner and hence combust Mars in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer may lose a good percentage of its power through combustion. It means that when a combination of combust debilitated Mars and Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the good or bad results given by this combination are likely to be controlled by Sun and not by Mars. To simplify, if benefic combust debilitated Mars and benefic Sun are placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the combination is net positive and these positive results are likely to reflect under the command of Sun and not under the command of combust debilitated Mars.
If however a combination of malefic combust debilitated Mars and benefic Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the combination is still likely to be net positive in results. Though combust debilitated Mars is malefic in this case, it may not afflict much damage to benefic Sun as Sun is much stronger than Mars and hence it can control such debilitated combust Mars even after receiving affliction through it. However if benefic combust debilitated Mars is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer along with malefic Sun, the combination is likely to be net negative on the similar grounds. Malefic Sun being stronger than benefic combust debilitated Mars may control the net effect of this combination and hence this combination may become negative. In the last possible case, when a combination of malefic combust debilitated Mars and malefic Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Cancer, the combination will be net negative and the malefic results produced by this malefic combination are likely to be controlled by Sun and not by combust debilitated Mars.
