What these two are about together
Identity and what you find beautiful or valuable. Like Mercury, Venus stays close to the Sun, so the range of possible angles is limited and the conjunction dominates.
What a conjunction does
A conjunction is the tightest relationship in a chart: two planets sitting at effectively the same point in the zodiac, rising, setting and moving together. The tradition does not read it as good or bad on its own. It reads it as fusion. Whatever the two planets each govern stops being two separate concerns and starts being one, and it is often the placement a person is least able to see in themselves, because there is no distance from which to look at it.
How it reads
Self-worth and taste fuse. Traditionally associated with charm, with an eye for the pleasing, and with a vanity the person is usually unaware of. Often read as somebody who is liked easily and therefore rarely tested.
In practice
Strongest of the five, and the most dependent on which two bodies are involved. A conjunction of two comfortable planets is usually experienced as a natural talent; a conjunction of two difficult ones is usually experienced as a single unavoidable subject that keeps coming round.
What to watch for
The absence of separation. Whatever these two do, they do at once, which makes it hard to tell which of the two is driving.
The two planets

A reading like this only tells you what the pairing is associated with. Whether Sun and Venus actually make this angle in your chart depends on your birth date, time and place.
