In Vedic Astrology all astronomical observations are done considering the

earth to be the reference point. This system of observation is called
Jyotish Basics
'geocentric'. In any system of measurements, the reference point is
considered stationary, though it may actually be moving. Question of Ayanamsha

From this we can easily understand that the outer planets (Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn) cannot be combust whilst in retrograde motion.

Effect of Combustion (for retrograde inner planets)

I was recently asked the following question; "Some astrologers are of the
opinion that combustion of Venus is not severe when it is retrograde as it
is in between Sun and Earth and it's rays to earth are not blocked. It
appears that this view could be correct. What do you think?".
All I can say is; "How very fortunate we are to live in this modern age of
technology and be able to view, with our own eyes, the recent (2012)
transit of combust retrograde Venus"
(5th June northern hemisphere, 6th June southern hemisphere)
See the below video from NASA and consider carefully what you see!

As we know, apart from the luminaries (Sun and Moon), Venus is the
brightest object in the sky. Known in all ancient cultures as both the
evening and the morning star, it shines like the brightest of diamonds. We
all know, however, that a diamond lacking clarity and brightness is to be
avoided as it will not be beneficial.
As evidenced in the video, combust Venus has no brightness
whatsoever. What we see is a dark object crossing the Sun...confirming
what the sages say; "If a planet is eclipsed by the Sun (combust) it
proves impotent".
Yes, being closer to Earth during retrograde motion, Venus has gained a
certain strength. This strength, however, should be judged along with the
state of combustion. Just as a diamond devoid of clarity and brightness
has a strong (negative) effect when worn next to the skin, so too does
(combust) Venus when closest to Earth.
This is simple logic...confirmed by the ancient Rishi's and evidenced by
the recent transit, recorded for all to see with their own eyes.
For those experiencing the dasa or sub-dasa of Venus, some adverse
results are likely, relative (of course) to Venus position in horoscope.
