Saturn gets debilitated when it is placed in the sign of Aries, which means that Saturn becomes very weak by virtue of its placement in this sign. Combust debilitated Saturn 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 combust debilitated Saturn is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries, the sign Aquarius ruled by Saturn falls in the first house of that horoscope. Hence Aquarius becomes the first house or ascendant of that horoscope and Saturn being the planetary lord of the sign Aquarius 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 combust debilitated Saturn 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 Saturn 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 combust debilitated Saturn 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 combust debilitated Saturn 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 combust debilitated Saturn 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 combust debilitated Saturn 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 Saturn when a combination of them is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries is likely to be very strong and hence Saturn may lose much of its power due to combustion, in this situation. This is due to the fact that Saturn is debilitated in the sign of Aries and hence it gets weak due to such debilitation. On other hand, Sun gets exalted in Aries and it gains great strength by virtue of its exaltation. Such debilitated Saturn is not capable of fighting the combustion effect produced by exalted Sun in a strong manner and hence combust Saturn in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries may lose a good percentage of its power through combustion. It means that when a combination of combust debilitated Saturn and exalted Sun is placed in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries, the good or bad results given by this combination are likely to be controlled by exalted Sun and not by debilitated Saturn.
When supported by other benefic planets, a benefic combination of exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries 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 exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn can bless some natives with success through the field of hospitality due to which these natives may witness good results through professions like hotel industry, airline industry, travel industry, event management industry and other such professions. Apart from this, a benefic combination of exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn in the third house in the sign of Aries can bless the natives with good results through many other fields of profession, when boosted by other profession supporting planets in their horoscopes.
On the other hand, a malefic combination of exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries 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 exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn can make some natives suffer on the front of their health due to which these natives may witness troubles in the field of their health. A malefic combination of exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn in the third house in the sign of Aries can render health problems to some natives and these problems may intensify with the introduction of other negative planets to the horoscopes of these natives. In extreme cases when supported by other malefic planets, a malefic combination of exalted Sun and combust debilitated Saturn in the third house of a horoscope in the sign of Aries can afflict the native with a serious disease which may trouble him a lot and which may reduce his lifespan.
