Under the Sunbeams.
Said of a planet that is less than 17° distant in longitude from the Sun. It was once reckoned unfavorable though not as much so as combust.

Under the Sunbeams - a planet in the same sign as the sun and within 17 degrees of it. This makes the planet slightly weakened.

Saturn is dignified in its own sign but afflicted by being under the Sunbeams, describing a weakened state, as one might expect for someone who has recently undergone a serious illness.

Thus a planet within 17o of the Sun is "under the Sun's rays" or "under the Sunbeams." When the planet gets within half the Sun's orb, it is combust or burned by the Sun's rays.
