Cusps

[Guest guest]

Now, I am not an astrologer, but it is my understanding that if you

are born on a cusp, that means you could have characteristics of

" both " signs, not " neither " :-) Kind of like a double ice cream scoop!

 

So you are a Cancer/Leo cusp, being born on the first day the sun was

in Leo. My grandfather was a Libra/Scorpio cusp, being born October

23.

 

Is there somebody out there who does astrology who can explain the

implications of cusps a little better? I know that the straight signs

are very simplistic when you consider a full chart and where all the

planets are, but it's pretty remarkable to me how most people are a

lot like their " sun sign " .

The 'cusp' is the time it takes for a body to move from one sign to the other;

for the sun it's ten minutes tops. The problem is that the time it happens

shifts every year, which is why different newspapers and magazines give

different start and end times for the signs. 'Cusp' is used in general and

newspaper readings for the period of three days in which the true cusp can fall.

 

It's rare to find someone born bang on the cusp Regina; you'd be my first.

 

The significance of the cusp is debateable, and probably outweighed by the

position of the inner planets; Mercury and Venus closely follow the Sun (8 and

12 degrees max seperation respectively) and whether they're in Cancer or Leo

would have a profound (and profoundly different) effect on the personality.

 

If you believe in Astrology

 

Hope that's of some use.
