DIGNITY & CONDITION
Vakri motion, combustion, and other conditions
Motion and proximity to the Sun are separate conditions that require separate reading rules.
The idea in context
Motion and solar proximity can modify traditional reading, but neither should be translated into fear-based certainty.
MAKE IT CONCRETE
An example to picture
A graha can be marked retrograde from calculated motion without that fact establishing whether a declared combustion threshold is met.
How to read it
Use verified motion data; combustion and strength systems need named thresholds and audited calculations beyond the basic map.
A common misunderstanding
Retrograde is not automatically weak, and proximity to the Sun does not justify an unlabeled personalized combustion claim.
BRING IT BACK TO YOUR LIFE
A question to sit with
Which part of a condition is measured, and which part depends on an interpretive rule?
Go deeper: the full reference
Vakri (retrograde)
Retrograde motion is an astronomical fact. Jyotisha schools interpret its strength and expression differently, so the app describes it as a modifying layer rather than automatic weakness, reversal, or delay.
Combustion and solar proximity
Combustion rules depend on the graha, angular distance from the Sun, and selected traditional policy. A verified longitude alone is not enough without those declared thresholds.
Strength systems
Shadbala, avasthas, directional strength, planetary war, and other systems require separate audited calculations. The guide does not treat their absence as a hidden result.

What dignity and condition describe
Traditional condition rules describe how a graha may access or express its significations; they do not measure human worth.
