The combustion effect given by Sun to Mercury when a combination of them is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces is likely to be very strong and hence Mercury may lose much of its power due to combustion, in this situation. This is due to the fact that Mercury is debilitated in the sign of Pisces and hence it gets weak due to such debilitation. Such debilitated Mercury is not capable of fighting the combustion effect produced by Sun in a strong manner and hence debilitated Mercury in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces may lose a good percentage of its power through combustion. It means that when a combination of combust debilitated Mercury and Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the good or bad results given by this combination are likely to be controlled by Sun and not by Mercury. To simplify, if benefic combust  debilitated Mercury and benefic Sun are placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, 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 Mercury.

If however a combination of malefic combust debilitated Mercury and benefic Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, the combination is still likely to be net positive in results. Though combust debilitated Mercury is malefic in this case, it may not afflict much damage to benefic Sun as Sun is much stronger than Mercury and hence it can control such debilitated combust Mercury even after receiving affliction through it. However if benefic combust debilitated Mercury is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces along with malefic Sun, the combination is likely to be net negative on the similar grounds. Malefic Sun being stronger than benefic combust debilitated Mercury 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 Mercury and malefic Sun is placed in the first house of a horoscope in the sign of Pisces, 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 Mercury.
