The conjunction may be harmonious or inharmonious, according to the planets that are aspecting each other. The two planets intensify each other's characteristics, according to their nature. It also gives more prominence to these two planets when interpreting the chart.

As to determining whether the conjunction is positive or negative (or harmonious or inharmonious), one needs to look at the nature of the planets involved, the signs and houses they are in and needs to understand the basic qualities of both planets being aspected.

Very often the natures of the planets involved contradict each other by nature, and one must look closely at the chart to understand it's effect on the native. Take for example the opposing natures of the planet Saturn which indicates restrictions, and the planet Jupiter which indicates expansiveness. Jupiter says "Go for It Now" while Saturn says "Wait until you are sure".

A conjunction such as this doesn't have to be all negative, the restricting tendencies of Saturn can help the overabundance of Jupiter from going too far out on a limb.

The same principle goes for softer aspects of easy-going planets. Too much of a good thing can oftentimes get carried away. And when any energy goes astray, troubles follow.

The key is to take a look at the whole picture - the sign, the house, and the planets. In some cases the conjunction occur in two different houses or even with planets that are not even in the same signs. This is when one must look closely at all the variables involved take into account the different natures of all energies and determine how they may possibly manifest in the native's life.
