The combustion effect given by Sun to Mercury when a combination of them is placed in the fourth 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 fourth 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 fourth 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.

However if benefic combust debilitated Mercury is placed in the fourth 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 fourth 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.
