Sun gets debilitated when it is placed in the sign of Libra, which means that Sun becomes very weak by virtue of its placement in this sign. Debilitated Sun in the third house of a horoscope becomes one of the most significant planets in that horoscope due to which it should be studied very carefully. This is due to the reason that when debilitated Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra, the sign Leo ruled by Sun falls in the first house of that horoscope. Hence Leo becomes the first house or ascendant of that horoscope and Sun being the planetary lord of the sign Leo becomes the lord of the first house or the lord of ascendant in such horoscope.
Since the house of ascendant is the most important house of a horoscope, the effect of any benefic or malefic influence on this house of a horoscope can reflect in the entire horoscope, positively or negatively, depending on whether the influences affecting this house are positive or negative. Similarly, any type of weakness or strength experienced by the lord of ascendant in a horoscope can also affect the entire horoscope significantly, positively or negatively. When debilitated Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope, the lord of ascendant becomes debilitated and hence the entire horoscope becomes weak. There are no doubts that when combust Sun is placed in its sign of debilitation in the third house of a horoscope, the chances of such horoscope behaving in strong manner are reduced as the lord of ascendant for such horoscope is very weak. Therefore, even benefic debilitated Sun placed in the third house of a horoscope may not do much good for the native as it indicates weakness to the entire horoscope.
However all is not lost and there are still many factors that can strengthen and improve such horoscope, as no single planet can govern an entire horoscope on its own, whether such planet is weak or strong, positive or negative; and even if such planet is the lord of ascendant in a horoscope. The influence of benefic planets on the first house of such a horoscope or the influence of benefic planets on such debilitated Sun in such a horoscope can provide extra strength to the horoscope and the results may improve. However the influence of malefic planets on the first house of such a horoscope or the influence of malefic planets on such debilitated Sun in a horoscope can make the situation even worse. This is due to the fact that such malefic influences can further weaken the overall positive energy of such horoscope due to which the native may have to suffer a lot in many spheres of his life. Therefore, when debilitated Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope, strong positive influences are required to make such horoscope work in a positive manner as otherwise, such horoscope may become negative or very weak.
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 Libra is not very strong and hence Mars may not lose much of its power due to combustion, in this situation. This is due to the reason that debilitated Sun is not capable of burning out much strength of Mars and hence combust Mars placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra may still retain much of its original strength. It means that when a combination of combust Mars and debilitated Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra, the good or bad results given by this combination are likely to be controlled by Mars and not by Sun. When supported by other benefic planets, a benefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, fame, authority and many other types of good results depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. Such benefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars can bend some natives towards the field of marketing due to which these natives may engage in professions related to this field and they may achieve success as marketing executives, owners of marketing companies and other such professionals. Apart from this, a benefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars in the third house in the sign of Libra can bless the natives with good results through many other fields of profession.
On the other hand, a malefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can trouble the native with problems related to marriage, profession, health and many other types of problems depending on the overall tone of his horoscope. Such malefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars can cause problems in the professions of some natives. A malefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars in the third house in the sign of Libra can keep some natives away from well paying jobs and these natives may have to engage in low paying jobs till late or very late in their lives. In extreme cases when supported by other malefic planets, a malefic combination of debilitated Sun and combust Mars in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Libra can make the native spend his entire life in need of money, primarily due to his inability to engage in well paying jobs.
