Exploring The Energy of Zodiac Cuspers

Gemini-Cancer Cusp: June 17-23

This cusp creates an individual that loves to be on the go courtesy of Gemini’s Mercury but also loves the comfort and familiarity of home and close connections. This is quite a relational person due to the mental airy energy of Gemini and the feeling nature of Cancer. It is important for those born under this cusp to choose a local environment as represented by Gemini where they can meet the desire to feel at home as represented by the Cancer influence. These individuals may struggle with the clash between their minds and emotions.

Cancer-Leo Cusp: July 19-25

The Cancer-Leo cusp produces proud, emotional individuals. They could take great pride in all things Cancer-related such as their family, home, and children. There is a desire to have children with this placement as doing so honors the Cancerian desire to nurture and mother with the Leo energy that governs the creative reproductive act of having children. This cusp placement could be prone to dramatic emotional displays if their ego is bruised.

Leo-Virgo Cusp: August 19-25

The Leo-Virgo cusp produces an individual that has the Leo innate desire to be the best and the perfectionism to go along with it courtesy of Virgo. These individuals are likely to be very hard workers who have a critical eye for detail that meets Leo’s upscale standards. This cusp combination has the potential to help individuals take orderly action to pursue a special purpose that will ultimately put them in the spotlight.

Virgo-Libra Cusp: September 19-25

With the Virgo-Libra cusp, this can show up as a desire to be perfect (Virgo) in relationships (Libra). These individuals have a tendency to be critical when it comes to their relations with others, and there could be a preference for dealing with people whom they can “fix.” On a positive note, the combination of the servant energy of Virgo and the social agility of Libra can produce individuals that are much more oriented to public service work that effectively improves the lives of others in a practical, just, and fair manner.

Libra-Scorpio Cusp: October 19-25

This particular cusp produces individuals who are socially adept with a keen awareness courtesy of Scorpio energy. Relationships of all types are often the grounds for transformation and growth which means that there could be drama…to the dismay of the Libra energy that prefers compromise and peace. Nevertheless, these individuals have the capacity to use their social nature to get themselves to where they want to be particularly because they have a keen insight into people’s true nature thanks to the combination of the Libra and Scorpio.

Scorpio-Sagittarius Cusp: November 18-24

When the deep, brooding energy of Scorpio teams up with the expansive, abundant, philosophical energy of Sagittarius this creates a unique mix of individuals that can have an intensity for a well-lived life. They aren’t likely to do anything halfway, so there’s a combination of the Scorpio intensity with the Sagittarius expansiveness that allows them to make the most of life. The depth of Scorpio transformation and Sagitarrius’ quest for wisdom and understanding creates the desire to explore the meaning of life and expand belief systems through religious and/or philosophical work.

Sagittarius-Capricorn Cusp: December 18-24

Under this cusp, the expansive Jupiter energy of Sagittarius is grounded thanks to Capricorn. These are individuals who are likely to still enjoy the freedom-loving aspects of Sagittarius but with the structure and planning of Capricorn. These individuals prefer to have a plan while seeking out new horizons. In fact, these individuals could actually make a successful career (Capricorn) that involves traveling or international work. These cuspers have an innate understanding of using their expansive energy in a responsible manner that leads to tangible results.

Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp: January 16-23

When Capricorn and Aquarius meet on a cusp, this produces individuals that are willing to take risks that push them beyond the norm and status quo courtesy of Aquarius’ ruler, Uranus. However, they will do so with responsibility and accountability as Saturn is both the modern ruler of Capricorn and the ancient ruler of Aquarius. More than others, these cuspers understand that Aquarian freedom does in fact come with a price. Freedom to express individuality is earned by honoring the self as the lesson of accepting the self to be accepted by groups and society is highlighted.

Aquarius-Pisces Cusp: February 15-21

Under the Aquarius and Pisces cusp, the usual shocking energy of Aquarius is toned down by Pisces. While these individuals embrace the uniqueness of themselves and others, the energy of Pisces tempers reminds them that differences and separation are an illusion, and everyone is connected. This cusp amps up creativity and innovation. Random flashes of insight could be viewed as coming from the Divine and/or Universe.

Pisces-Aries Cusp: March 17-23

The Pisces-Aries cusp adds a bit of fire, drive, competition, and a desire to get ahead to the traditionally laid-back, go-with-the-flow Pisces energy. These are individuals who are very emotional, sensitive, and quite compassionate. However, don’t be fooled. These individuals have a lot of fight in them and are also more likely to stand up for themselves thanks to the Aries/Mars influence. The combination of Neptune (Pisces) and Mars (Aries) allows these cuspers to take action to make their dreams a reality.

Ultimately, being born on an astrological cusp offers the opportunity to integrate the natal sun sign energy with the additional energies of the zodiac sign preceding and following the natal sun sign placement.
