I was noticing this morning that I could see Venus as the morning star. I recalled last evening that in Kala animated transits, Ve in my location was combust. I looked at Kala this morning at the time when I could see Venus and Venus was not combust at that time. Venus was only combust for 9 hours at my location. Is this a normal astronomical event where a planet can be combust for hours at a time?

Yes, combustion can change based on the angle of the viewer and that angle changes throughout the day. As venus gets closer to sun, it will be combust during all hours of the day.

@ernst Can a retrograde Me or Ve, when close in zodiacal degrees to the Sun, still be combust/asta? Meaning, one still can't see Me or Ve in the sky?

Yes, it can still not be seen, however, I dont read it as combust as the word used in the sanskrit texts is setting, and it's not really setting then.
