The mechanics

Angle on the wheel
AspectConjunction
Same elementYes
Same modalityYes

Cancer is cardinal water; Cancer is cardinal water. Sharing an element means sharing a temperament — you process things the same way, which removes most of the translation work.

Sun signs are one factor among many, and astrology itself treats them as a starting point rather than a verdict. Two full charts describe far more than two birthdays do.
