My brother has Sun conjunct Venus (combust) and so far, he doesn't seem to have any of those "blessings" you mentioned. Some are lucky enough, though, to have a wider orb for the conjunction.

I agree!! I have always wondered about it because I noticed that even in transits that the conjunction is felt better with a wider orb!!

as for my experience-
i found that we can be charming when we want to, there is a certain self confidence present, and we can talk to anyone( at my work, my coworkers always tell me ohh you can talk to anyone, even to people you don't like lol)

in my case, since i have Sun Mars conjunction too, i am no- nonsense also, and very direct..so its a blend of these too..

and as for the Venus/ASC conjunct, i think it gives us a natural sense of style, comfort, laziness,luxury and everything pretty.

Question:
When does Venus conjunct Sun become combust- at what degree?

That's the positive side. There's a dark side that comes with it, including irrational jealousy that can get vicious (and violent), people who feel threatened by the things you say (especially if it makes them feel rejected by you), and also people who are nice to you in order to use you and/or your friends. I've had some close calls and traumatic experiences in my life due to that.

Though some interesting dynamics. Like in a small East Texas school I was actually more popular among high schoolers (when I was 13-4 and in 8th grade/middle school, though it was connected to all the other grades and middle school & high school had lunch together) than I was in my own grade. And I was at my most popular with school kids when I was unschooling (a type of homeschooling), which I suspect was partially due to the fact that I was outside the school cliques and social dynamics so didn't make anyone feel threatened (IOW, I was exotic rather than offensive or competition).

The effect is that people either love you or hate you. There is very little middle-ground.

In as far as Sun/Venus conjunct Saturn is concerned,I don't believe this aspect has much power to make someone popular. Unless its amongst senior people.

I have Venus/Saturn conjunct natally and I was always the teachers pet.

I have Sun conjunct Venus within 1 degree so it's combust. Already in Virgo, Venus is in fall so this should not be great. However, I am very blessed and have felt this lovely aspect my whole life. It's in the first house and conjuncts Uranus so it has been very interesting at times.

My elders and such were about the same as younger. Teachers didn't like it when I discussed the lessons, not even to ask sincere questions (as sometimes they couldn't, or didn't dare, answer). So they made an unofficial deal with me (I'm told the teachers probably consulted with each other about me privately and came up with this plan): I could read books or write stories despite that no one else was allowed as long as I kept quiet (some other kids pointed this out in resentment). The rare times either of us forgot this trouble often came about. The exceptions were few and far between (and classes like math was a safe subject, and one math teacher even made me a class tutor), but the high school faculty I dealt with was a nightmare.

It's not all roses, though. This aspect taken to an extreme means a people-pleaser who will ignore their own needs to keep peace. Relationships can implode because you must call people on their **** at the time or resentment builds and destroys.
