Is Chandra-Mangal yoga good or bad?

Neither label fits. It is classically a wealth combination and is also read as emotional intensity. A reading that gives you only the wealth half is selling, and one that gives you only the intensity half is scaring.

Does Chandra-Mangal yoga make someone angry?

It is read as quickening emotional response, not as a verdict on character. Where that shows depends on the house and sign the conjunction falls in, and on the rest of the chart.

Does the conjunction need to be close in degrees?

The classical statement is that they are in the same house, which in a whole-sign chart means the same sign. A close degree conjunction is read as a stronger expression, not as the condition itself.

Chandra-Mangal Yoga: Moon with Mars

चंद्र-मंगल योग

What is Chandra-Mangal yoga and is it good or bad?

Chandra-Mangal yoga forms when the Moon and Mars occupy the same sign. It is classically read as a wealth combination — specifically, earning through one's own drive. It is also read as emotional intensity, because Mars sits with the significator of the mind. Both readings come from the same placement and both are usually true of it.

A wealth yoga and a temperament, at once

The classical tradition files Chandra-Mangal under wealth: a person who makes money by acting rather than by waiting, often through enterprise, trade, property or work that takes nerve. Mars is initiative; the Moon is the mind; together they describe a mind that moves.

The same conjunction is read for temperament, and here the tone changes — Mars with the Moon is described as sharpening emotion, shortening patience and making reactions quick. These are not two different opinions about the yoga. They are the same placement seen from two sides, and an honest reading gives you both.

What it does not say

It does not say that money is guaranteed, and it does not say that someone is bad-tempered. A yoga names a pattern available in a chart. Whether that pattern gets its turn depends on the dasha sequence, and how it expresses depends on the rest of the chart — the house the pair occupies, the signs they are in, what aspects them.
