Jupiter gets debilitated when it is placed in the sign of Capricorn, which means that Jupiter becomes very weak by virtue of its placement in this sign. Combust debilitated Jupiter in the second 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 Jupiter is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the sign Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter falls in the first house of that horoscope. Hence Sagittarius becomes the first house or ascendant of that horoscope and Jupiter being the planetary lord of the sign Sagittarius 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 Jupiter is placed in the second house of a horoscope, the lord of ascendant becomes debilitated and hence the entire horoscope becomes weak. There are no doubts that when combust Jupiter is placed in its sign of debilitation in the second 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 Jupiter placed in the second 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 Jupiter 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 Jupiter 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 Jupiter is placed in the second 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 the Jupiter when a combination of them is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn is likely to be very strong and hence Jupiter may lose much of its power due to combustion, in this situation. This is due to the fact that debilitated Jupiter is not capable of fighting the combustion effect produced by Sun in a strong manner and hence combust Jupiter in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn may lose a good percentage of its power through combustion. It means that when a combination of combust debilitated Jupiter and Sun is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, the good or bad results given by this combination are likely to be controlled by Sun and not by Jupiter.

It is clear from the above discussion that when a combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter is placed in the second house of a horoscope in the sign of Capricorn, strong positive influences are required to save this horoscope as Jupiter being the lord of ascendant is debilitated as well as combust. Hence such horoscope may not work well without the support of strong positive planets and the native under the impact of such combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter may have to struggle in many spheres of his life, even if this combination is positive. When supported by other benefic planets, a benefic combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter in the second house of a horoscope can bless the native with good results related to marriage, profession, finances, fame, authority and many other types of good results depending on the overall tone of his horoscope.

On the other hand, a malefic combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter in the second house of a horoscope 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 Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter can especially prove bad for the health of the natives under its impact due to which these natives may come across many types of health problems and diseases. Such problems may intensify if this malefic combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter is supported by other disease promoting planets in one such horoscope. In extreme cases when supported by other malefic planets, a malefic combination of Sun and combust debilitated Jupiter in the second house of a horoscope can afflict the native with a fatal disease like some type of cancer, and the native may die young by virtue of such disease, after suffering a lot of pain for a long period of time.
