I've noticed that when I meet folks that have a planet conjuncting their Sun, they display traits of that ruling planet's sign for example:
Sun Conjunct Jupiter - they come across as very fun, full of life and energy. Lots of good vibes. Jupiter is ruled by Sagittarius.
Sun Conjunct Saturn - usually are more reserved and can sometimes come across as stern or strict. Saturn is ruled by Capricorn.
Would Sun conjunct Moon give someone Cancer qualities because the Moon is ruled by Cancer?
I hope my question makes sense. Let me know if I need to clarify anything.
Really depends. Let's expand the scope a bit first though. You'll probably have noticed that most (especially traditional) Planets rule not just one Sign, but two, and often these are Signs that significant differences and yet similarities.
Aries and Scorpio, Taurus and Libra, Gemini and Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, and Capricorn and Aquarius.
Or, in other words, the nature of Planets is more complex and multi faceted than just one Sign. Jupiter still very much rules Pisces, and not just Sagittarius. Jupiter's nature is not "just Sagittarian like", but its true nature is more like a blend of Sag and Pisces, with a slightly greater emphasis on Sag.
Besides the above issue, then we have to look to see whether the Sun or Moon is the more receptive/highlighting symbol in the chart. For example, if the person has especially Cancer Rising, but also to a slightly lesser extent Cancer Sun or Moon, then the Moon becomes a receptive, highlighting symbol for OTHER symbols.
So chances are, in such a person's case, then the Sun will become more highlighted than Moon. So here will be this person with strong Cancer, but even stronger Sun, and they may not be very Cancer or Lunar like all in all, as highlighted Planets tend to be stronger and more consistently so than Signs.
But, the reverse will happen if say Leo is highlighted in their chart--especially so if Leo is on the Asc. Then the Moon will become more highlighted.
If neither Cancer nor Leo is particularly highlighted in the chart, then Sun and Moon conjunction has some of its own meaning independent of Signs etc. Its often associated with a fresh and kind of, new, naive kind of attunement. All in all, Sun will tend to be more highlighted.
