The positivity or negativity of a conjunction depends on the following factors:-----Positive:
--Nature of the transiting planet: If it involves transit planets like Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, which are considered "benefics"
--Position of the natal planet being conjunct by the transit planet: If the conjunction makes a beneficial aspect (trine, sextile) to other natal planets in the chart. That type of conjunction reinforces an already positive natal aspect.
----Negative:
--Nature of the transiting planet: If it involves hard planets like Saturn, Mars, Pluto, Uranus, even Neptune sometimes, the interaction can be more challenging. Saturn and Mars are considered "malefics".
Example: When Transit Saturn conjuncted my Neptune, I had some of the worst despairing times of my life.
--Position of the natal planet being conjunct by the transit planet: If the conjunction makes a challenging aspect to other natal planets, then it reinforces an already negative aspect in the natal chart.
Of course, there are more factors to take into account, but that would be a good place to start.
