burned up, burn-ing
Phonetic: /bɜːrnd ʌp, ˈbɜːr.nɪŋ/
In Medieval astrology, burned up or burning refers to a planet weakened or harmed by excessive proximity to the Sun.
This condition is closely related to combustion, in which the Sun’s light overwhelms the planet and reduces its visibility and effectiveness. A burned planet was considered unable to act freely or openly and could signify weakness, concealment, exhaustion, or obstruction. Medieval astrologers examined burning conditions carefully in natal, horary, and predictive astrology when judging planetary strength and the outcome of matters. The severity of the condition depended on the planet’s distance from the Sun and its overall dignity.
