Born on the cusp

If you were born within a few days of the Sun's move from one zodiac
sign to the next, this means you were born on the cusp and you
might feel an influence from two different signs.

What are the zodiac cusps?

In general, you’re “on the cusp” if you’re born about three days before
or after the change in signs. Each cusp period has a name that reflects
the distinct energy it carries.

 Cusp of Power: April 16 - 22

 Cusp of Energy: May 17 - 23
 Cusp of Magic: June 17 - 23
 Cusp of Oscillation: July 19 - 25
 Cusp of Exposure: August 19 - 25
 Cusp of Beauty: September 19 - 25
 Cusp of Drama: October 19 - 25
 Cusp of Revolution: November 18 - 24
 Cusp of Prophecy: December 18 - 24
 Cusp of Mystery: January 16 - 23
 Cusp of Sensitivity: February 15 - 21
 Cusp of Rebirth: March 17 – 23

How does being on the cusp affect you?

If you're born on the cusp, you might find that you possess personality
traits from your neighboring sign. For instance, people born under
Aries, but on the Aries-Taurus cusp, often make great leaders.
Normally, Aries impatient habits could have you making quick
decisions and reacting too fast, but if you’re an Aries born on the cusp
of Taurus, these traits might be softened with a more grounded,
1
 Born on the cusp
sensible Taurean energy. But this doesn’t mean that being a cusper is
always sunshine and rainbows; the energies of your two signs may
clash!
Either way, being born on the cusp can give you a variety of qualities
that can blend and shine in different ways. Learning about both the
blessings and the curses of your cusp helps you embrace your
interesting -- and sometimes complicated -- self!

Aries-Taurus
If you're born on the Aries-Taurus cusp, from April 17 to April 23, you
are a firecracker and a force to be reckoned with! You were born on the
Cusp of Power, so it's no surprise that you're authoritative, resilient,
and dedicated to your passions and goals.
Born on this cusp, you are influenced by both active Mars and sensual
Venus -- the ruling planets of Aries and Taurus. Mars is a planet of
motivation and drive, while Venus embodies the power of persuasion.
Together, this combination of energy is an unstoppable mix that has
you leading the way up the ladder of success!
The elements of Fire (Aries' element) and Earth (the element of
Taurus) come together on this cusp to provide you with a courageous
yet grounded personality. You have the energy to push yourself
forward into projects or situations, and you have the stability to see
things through to the end. Just remember to think before you act! You
don't want to get stuck in something that your stubborn demeanor
won't let you quit, even if it turns out it's not right for you...
Being born on the Cusp of Power blesses you with a great deal of
strength and influence. You're a natural born leader who's destined for
success at home and in the workplace. Others will continually turn to
you for guidance and inspiration, so make sure to be kind when they
do! You have a tendency to be quite forceful, and your strong opinions

2
 Born on the cusp
can sometimes rub others the wrong way. If you lead with a smile on
your face, nothing will get in your way.
People born on the Aries-Taurus cusp are incredibly independent with
a sassy sense of humor. You love spending time out and about with
friends and family, but you don't need others to support you. While
this makes you a pretty exceptional individual, it can confuse your
loved ones and sometimes drive them away. Make sure to tone down
the harsh, blunt, or sarcastic comments when you're around others
who are more sensitive than you -- which is practically everyone. Let
your fun-loving, understanding side shine more often and watch your
fans and followers grow.
If you're born on the Cusp of Power, you know how to have a fun time
while working your way to the top, and your outgoing social skills can
get you anywhere. You have thick skin and can handle a lot, but try
not to let your independence detach you from your loved ones -- you
need them more than you know! Practice patience and remember that
kind leaders can do incredible things.
Strengths:
Strong, energetic, fun, smart, humorous, courageous
You have the energy and determination to climb mountains in both
your professional life and your home and family life. You want to be
the best and want to lead your team to success! You love to be out
and about, and you play even harder than you work -- if you can
imagine that. You're your own best friend and are strong enough to
know that you'll always be OK no matter what happens.
Weaknesses:
Stubborn, pushy, harsh, selfish, controlling
It's very hard for you to let things go or let others do things that you
know you could do better. You tend to get fired up about an opinion,
idea, or project and then you dig in your heels and refuse to drop it.
You like things done the best way possible, and you aren't able to
easily trust others to do your bidding. Sharing responsibilities is

3
 Born on the cusp
tough for you -- almost as tough as it is to share your feelings and life!
Your independence and freedom are important, but try to be sensitive
to your friends and family and realize that their desires and opinions
matter, too.
Compatibility:
You're a tough one to pin down! You have your independent, wild
ways and it takes a strong individual to make you commit. But when
you're ready to tie the knot and have a family of your own, you'll do
anything to make sure they're happy and secure. Earth signs will
understand your desire for success and will also be busy pushing
themselves, allowing you to maintain a lot of your freedom. This
hard-working romance will probably feel more like a partnership than
a close or cuddly relationship. Air signs would also make great
partners for you, because their detached nature means they will not be
hurt by your strong opinions or your need for independence. They are
also free-thinking and will have some strong opinions of their own,
leading to a few passionate debates!
Advice:
Learn to let go and love more! Your initial reaction is to control the
situation in front of you, which is part of what makes you a great
leader, but work on handing over the reins once in a while -- it will
make you more likeable and improve your relationships. Pay attention
and have patience with your friends and family. If you stop being so
stubborn, you'll learn how nice it is to be able to care for and share
things with them.

Taurus-Gemini
If you were born on the Taurus-Gemini cusp, from May 17 to 23, you
have the bonus of being both physically strong and mentally agile.
You were born on the Cusp of Energy, and you're a youthful, social
spirit!
On this cusp, you feel the influence of both friendly, sensual Venus
(Taurus' ruling planet) and quick and outgoing Mercury, the ruling
planet of Gemini -- this makes you quite the socialite! This
combination of energies allows you to make friends easily and
maintain great relationships. You're loving, clever, and talkative,
often making you the most popular person in the room.
Earth (Taurus) meets Air (Gemini) on the Cusp of Energy, and it's
quite a dust storm of activities that you're kicking up. Depending on
the situation, you can be both stable and flexible, helping you adapt
easily and find enjoyment wherever you are. You've got the stamina to
do it all, then do some more!
Conversation comes easy for you and you thrive in social settings.
Whether you're meeting someone for the first time or having a deep
talk with your best friend, you can always think of something
interesting to say and something fun to do. You crave a good night
out. Going to delicious restaurants, fun concerts, or on a hot,
passionate date is what life is all about. But watch out for those late
nights! Burning the candle at both ends just might get the best of you.

5
 Born on the cusp
Yet it's true, you're a ball of energy, but you're not invincible. You
have a tendency to overindulge in food and drink, physical activity,
and spending, without making enough time for rest. The never-ending
party is fun while it lasts, but it can take a major toll on your health
and your wallet. Have fun and enjoy your bursting vitality, but be
safe and smart about it!
Being born on the Cusp of Energy, you're a smooth talker and your
exciting nature is inspiring to others. You bring the fun with you
everywhere you go. But while you're chatting and socializing up a
storm, don't forget to give others a chance to shine, too. You have
skills and charisma that others would kill for, so make sure to use it
with dignity and you'll be able to maintain close, fulfilling friendships
for life.

Strengths:
Fun, energetic, witty, charming, adaptable, exciting, outgoing
You're a pleasure-loving individual who's blessed with endless energy!
You live life to its fullest by enjoying all the experiences the world has
to offer. You're the person everyone calls when they want to have fun
or have a good talk. You're adaptable and can get along with a vast
variety of personalities. You have a sense of wonder and creativity
about you that lights up any room!

Weaknesses:
Self-centered, reckless, wild, impatient, indulgent, loud

6
 Born on the cusp
You're quite the conversationalist, but sometimes you don't know
when to shut up. Everyone loves having you around because you
always have a good story or an interesting anecdote to share, but you
often forget to let others get a word in. If your friends and family start
to feel overshadowed or second-rate, they could start to put a little
distance into your relationship. You'll have more, better friendships if
you remember that conversations are as much about listening as
talking. Give everyone a chance to be heard -- you never know what
you'll learn!
Compatibility:
You're a fierce romantic who loves bonding with others through fun
dates and passionate sex! You're adventurous in your relationships
and you need a partner who can keep up and communicate on your
level. Fire signs are definitely willing to try new things and go on
great adventures, but they may not be able to express their feelings as
gracefully as you'd like. Air signs are pros at communicating and will
be able to talk up a storm with you and connect on both lighter and
deeper levels.
Advice:
Don't forget: you have a slow and patient side that's very valuable!
Born on the Cusp of Energy, you're constantly charged and ready to
move, but some situations and relationships require you to take it
easy and be more methodical. While moderation may not sound that
appealing to you, you'll find more health and happiness if you attempt

7
 Born on the cusp
to balance your go-go-go nature with a little downtime. Slowing down
the pace every once in a while allows you to be more present in the
moment, and gives you the recuperation you need to ramp things up
again!

Gemini-Cancer
If you were born on the Gemini-Cancer cusp, from June 18 to June 24,
you are a fun, kind, whimsical individual with a huge heart! You were
born on the Cusp of Magic, and your loving demeanor and childlike
wonder will provide you with a continuously happy life.
You are influenced by quick and curious Mercury, the ruling planet of
Gemini, as well as the emotional Moon, the ruling planet of Cancer.
These energies combine to make you a very social individual, capable
of strong relationships. You have a genuine interest in others and
truly want to know the answer when you ask, "How are you?"
You're filled with the curiosity of an Air sign (Gemini's element) and
the sentimentality of a Water sign (Cancer's element). Air and Water
can be fun -- like bubbles -- but can also be overwhelming. You have a
lot of empathy and sensitivity flowing through you, but it can
overflow if you don't temper it with perspective and logic. If you can

8
 Born on the cusp
balance your energies, you'll learn to be a perceptive and emotionally
intelligent friend, family member, and partner.
Born on the Cusp of Magic, you have the gift of being both a
communicator and a listener. Whether you're sharing interesting facts
and witty anecdotes or letting a loved one cry on your shoulder, you're
able to handle yourself gracefully in any social setting. Others will
continually choose to confide in you, and you are often known as the
therapist of your group. However, you may find that while you're a
devoted conversationalist, you're not able to share your feelings with
others as easily as they share theirs with you.
You're easy-breezy on the outside, but inside you might be a ball of
tension. You absorb the feelings of others and are quite sensitive
yourself. You have a hard time trusting people, so you encourage
others to talk about themselves or engage in lighthearted conversation
to avoid talking about your own inner issues. You may want to handle
your problems independently, but you're most happy when you have a
lover to lean on. The people around you care about you and are more
supportive than you think, so don't be afraid to let things out! It's the
only way to find the emotional balance you need to live a truly happy
and fulfilled life.
Gemini-Cancer cusp strengths:
Fun, flirty, curious, intellectual, affectionate, devoted, sensitive,
inspirational
You're an upbeat individual who can put a positive spin on practically
anything, no matter how heavy life gets. You have a fun, fresh way of
9
 Born on the cusp
socializing and love to dive into witty conversations and lively
debates. Your gentle, caring demeanor allows you to be a comforter
and advisor to friends and family, enriching your closest relationships
with endless love and nurturing.
Gemini-Cancer cusp weaknesses:
Moody, emotional, scatterbrained, selfish, depressive, self-destructive
You love talking with others about their feelings and helping them
through their emotional difficulties, but do you ever take your own
advice? You keep your own needs and desires very guarded and aren't
keen on expressing yourself as often as you encourage others to. This
emotional blockage can make you moody and overly sensitive. It can
affect your relationships and prevents you from achieving the things
you really want in life. Open up to yourself and your loved ones as
they do with you! You'll feel relieved, supported, and truly centered.
Gemini-Cancer cusp compatibility:
You're a quirky, fun individual who is energized by stimulating
conversation and easygoing activities. You need someone who is
bright, lively, and will appreciate your sensitive side and stick by you
no matter what. Fire signs will bring the excitement and positivity
you need to your relationships, but may not be as loyal or present as
you'd like. Water signs make wonderful, supportive partners. You
may have to deal with their depressive tendencies, but you're already
great at that!
Gemini-Cancer cusp advice:

10
 Born on the cusp
Express yourself! Don't get bogged down by continuously helping
others through their emotional breakdowns. If you're overwhelmed
trying to juggle your own feelings along with everyone else's, take the
time to talk about it -- conversation is one of your strong suits, so use
it to your advantage. Stop clamming up about your own insecurities
and learn to trust others the way you expect them to trust you

Cancer-Leo
If you were born on the Cancer-Leo cusp, between July 19 and July 25,
you have a wide range of personality traits that can either make you or
break you! You were born on the Cusp of Oscillation, and you are a
powerfully influential person.
Cancer and Leo are two very different zodiac signs ... Cancer is very
sensitive and ruled by the emotional Moon, while Leo is proud, brave,
and ruled by the fiery Sun. To be influenced by both the Moon and
the Sun can be incredibly beneficial, but also very challenging. If you
can learn to oscillate smoothly between these energies, you'll not only
be able to feel and comprehend your emotions and the emotions of
others, but you'll know how to express and act on them appropriately.

11
 Born on the cusp
You are also ruled by two very contrasting elements. The combination
of Water (Cancer) and Fire (Leo) can create a scalding steam! You
may shift from shy and sensitive to a theatrical drama queen in two
seconds flat. The Water element emphasizes your emotions, but the
Fire in you can bring these out in a volatile way instead of a
constructive way. Acting on your feelings is a good thing, as long as
you channel them into love and not aggression or defensiveness.
Being born on the Cusp of Oscillation makes you lover and a leader,
helping you come across as both influential and commanding. Your
natural empathy and genuine interest for others allows you to connect
with people easily. Once you've earned their trust, you can proceed to
lead! You're a beautiful blend of caring and passionate, and you
should use this energy to help others in need or raise awareness for a
good cause. You have the charisma and emotional intuition to get
people going and to do as you ask -- just make sure you're using this
for good and not for your own personal gain.
Being the compelling, alluring person that you are, you'll find that
others are easily persuaded by you. When your Sun and Moon
balance is in sync, you'll do amazing things and make changes that
help the greater good! However, if your energies are off and you're
feeling more sensitive or dramatic than usual, you may be inclined to
manipulate others or the situation at hand. It's your moral
responsibility to recognize when you're playing puppet master for your
own desires and needs, especially if it stems from a selfish or negative
place.

12
 Born on the cusp
Born on the Cancer-Leo cusp, you have the potential to be a well-
rounded, dynamic person. You are influenced by two drastically
different signs, and it will take effort on your part to make these
energies work together instead of against each other. Combining your
care for others with your confidence in yourself will make you a
successful leader who is deeply respected by your team, both at work
and at home. You'll feel most fulfilled if you're devoting your time to
helping others and making a positive difference. Keep yourself
balanced and you'll do incredible things!
Strengths:
Loving, devoted, expressive, creative, cheerful, passionate
Born on the Cusp of Oscillation, you have a natural instinct to
nurture and encourage others. You care about your loved ones (and
strangers for that matter) easily. They will feel that they can talk to
you and rely on you to keep their secrets and give them sound advice --
and you can! You have enough charisma and empathy to guide others
in the right direction. But your good deeds don't just extend to small,
personal interactions. You want to make big changes! You have the
leadership skills to rally others to devote their time to helping their
communities and the world at large.
Weaknesses:
Self-absorbed, overly sensitive, dramatic, dependent, volatile
Because you're influenced by two contrasting signs, your cosmic
balance is pretty sensitive! In order to be your best self, you have to

13
 Born on the cusp
continually check in with your mood and make sure that you're feeding
both sides of your personality. If your balance is thrown out of whack,
you can become overly sensitive or dramatic and aggressive. To flip-
flop between these moods can make you a difficult friend and family
member to get along with. But when you exert the better parts of your
Cancer-Leo influences, you are a wonderful person to have around.
Compatibility:
You're a passionate romantic who needs attention and patience from
your partner. You have a lot of love to offer and it's important that
you pick the right person to avoid bringing out your extra emotional or
flaring dramatic sides. Earth signs will help you stay grounded and be
your rock when you start to feel off balance. Water signs are also a
natural fit for you. They will understand your sensitivities and
support your dreams and ambitions. You may not always be able to
reciprocate their needy tendencies, but you'll find it easy to cheer them
up.
Advice:
Stay balanced and use your powers of persuasion for good! You'll have
to work harder than most to not get swept up in petty drama or
meaningless gossip. If you fall victim to this narrow-minded way of
life, it may bring out the negative extremes of your personality. Don't
use your powerful skills for selfish endeavors. If you start convincing
others to do things out of greed, then you'll likely ruin your reputation

Leo-Virgo
If you were born on the Leo-Virgo Cusp, from August 19 to August
25, you are a natural leader with a vision for the world and the ability
to command a room. You were born on the Cusp of Exposure, and
with the right balance, you are destined for success!
Born on this Cusp, you are influenced by the Sun, the ruling planet of
Leo, and Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo. You are big, bright, and
shine over everyone, but you're also able to process, think, and talk
about the tiny details. You have two strong forces encouraging you to
both think hard and act big, so it's important to find harmony between
the two.
You have the passion and intensity of a Fire sign (Leo) and the
patience and durability of an Earth sign (Virgo). These two energies
can be a tricky blend, but at your best, you are a determined individual
with the tenacity to follow through with projects and goals. There's
an excited energy whipping through you that can be grounded and
directed, pushing you up the ladder of success.
15
 Born on the cusp
If you were born on the Leo-Virgo cusp, you're fierce, intelligent, and
courageous. You can charm anyone with your childlike charisma and
you're loyal to the ones you trust. With your high standards, it's a
surprise that anyone might meet or exceed your expectations, but
those that do are rewarded with your praise and appreciation. This
makes you a wonderful leader! People aim to impress you, as long as
you remain graceful and modest in your successes.
While your commanding energy might be an inspiration to some,
because you were born on the Cusp of Exposure you also run the risk
of becoming overbearing and controlling. You have a delicate balance
to maintain, and if you're thrown off one way or another, you may end
up showing your dramatic, know-it-all side. Yes, you're very smart
and observant, but it's your responsibility to be humble and tactful
about it. Try not to go around correcting others and showing off your
big brain, otherwise you might lose the respect you've worked so hard
for!
You have the potential to take the world by storm. You can see big-
picture goals and then boil them down to small details, seeing exactly
which steps you need to take to reach the finish line. You can be
charming and smart, as well as brave and loyal. But you carry the
added pressure of finding a healthy balance on a daily basis. These
strong influences can easily make you the loud, rude, bossy person
that no one wants to work for or live with. Be the gentle, humble,
driven individual you're capable of, and the world will be yours!

16
 Born on the cusp

Strengths:
Hardworking, passionate, loyal, honest, successful, responsible
You have the ability to dream big and follow through. This makes you
a whiz in the workplace and a strong, respected leader at home. Those
that have earned your trust will reap the rewards thanks to your
loyalty and willingness to train, teach, and carry them with you on
your way to success. You can temper your outgoing nature with a
modest, gentle attitude, which makes you approachable. You set
tough goals and are your own toughest critic, but that's what makes
you the best!
Weaknesses:
Critical, stubborn, quarrelsome, controlling, rude, manipulative
Your high expectations can sometimes get the better of you. Those
who follow you don't want to let you down, but if they do, you may be
especially critical and demeaning. You like things done a particular
way and to a certain degree of perfection. It's hard for you to trust that
others will give the same energy or attention to detail like you do.
Relax a little! Tap into that charming, patient side that you possess
and give your friends, family, and coworkers a little room for
imperfection.
Compatibility:
Loving someone born on the Leo-Virgo cusp comes with hefty
challenges and wonderful benefits! You are a hard worker with lofty
goals and a go-getter attitude, which can make for an exciting but

17
 Born on the cusp
exhausting love life. Earth signs will understand your love for your
career and your late nights at the office. Fire signs will match and
appreciate your energy and drive. They'll love that you're a provider
and are always ready with a new plan. They might not get your
perfectionist ways, but they'll support you regardless.

Advice:
Share! Even though it might seem like pulling teeth, learn to delegate
and trust others with responsibilities. Keep your expectations realistic
and your wits about you if things aren't perfect. Enjoy life and learn to
make some mistakes.

Virgo-Libra Cusp
If you were born on the Virgo-Libra Cusp, from September 19 to
September 25, you are a beautiful individual inside and out! You were
born on the Cusp of Beauty and you are a vision of perfection,
balance, and grace.
Being born on the Virgo-Libra Cusp, you are influenced by mindful
Mercury, the ruling planet of Virgo, as well as Venus, the Goddess
planet and the ruling planet of Libra. You have been blessed with both

18
 Born on the cusp
wits and charm, and when used correctly, you can be powerfully
persuasive.
You have the grounded determination of an Earth sign (Virgo), and
the charisma and social ease of an Air sign (Libra). This is a blissful
blend of elements! When you're in the zone, you have a realistic
understanding of the world, and you have the added benefit of being
able to express your thoughts fairly and eloquently. No wonder you're
so well-liked!
If you're born on this cusp, you're graceful, generous, and have an air of
beauty about you no matter how you look! You have high standards
and always try to carry yourself in an elegant fashion. You're beloved
by not only your friends and family, but also by anyone who has the
opportunity to be bewitched by your kind words and gentle heart. You
have a sharp eye on the world, with a strong distaste for cruelty and a
longing love for those who fight for equality.
Watch out for your evil eye, though! You get upset quickly and are
easily riled up when others don't live up to your standards -- and you
set the bar quite high. Others hate letting you down! If they slip up
and say a crass joke or forget their manners, they will feel the wrath of
your judgment or may even get a quick scolding. That kind of behavior
makes you cringe, but you might be distancing yourself from your
loved ones when you stick your nose so high in the air. People make
mistakes. Allow them to be humans and do your best not to jump
down their throats if they say or do the wrong thing. If you can learn

19
 Born on the cusp
to breathe and loosen your perfectionist grip, you'll be an inspiration
to be around!
Strengths:
Attractive, intellectual, communicative, artistic, social, sensuous
Your intelligence and grace come together to make you a wonderful
conversationalist and activist. You see right and wrong as clearly as
black and white, and you're able to explain your understandings to
others in an approachable way that allows them to hear you and
follow you. If you wield this powerful skill correctly, you can have a
positive impact not only within your own world, but globally as well.
Weaknesses:
Superficial, materialistic, detached, perfectionist, nervous, jaded
On your bad days, you can get swept away by the dark side of beauty.
You love to make a good impression and be polished inside and out --
it's the external needs that can warp you. Be aware of your desires for
material possessions and superficiality. If you find yourself needing
clothes, makeup, and accessories to make you feel fulfilled, then you'll
silence your true internal beauty./p>
Compatibility:
Your heart is full of love for others and the desire to find balance in
the world, but you have a hard time letting the people who are closest
to you into your bubble. It takes a special someone with patience and
strong communication to keep you interested and committed. Fire
signs are much too impulsive! They're always willing to be social with

20
 Born on the cusp
you, but they'll often say the wrong thing. Air signs are fun and
playful, but lack the commitment you need. Earth signs will keep you
grounded and appreciate your kind nature.

Advice:
Put your passion for equality and your power of persuasion to use!
You don't want to offend others, so you sometimes stay quiet on
issues that really perplex and upset you. Speak up! You have an
ability to speak your mind in a clear and concise way that others envy.
Use your words to make a difference and make the world a better
place.

Libra-Scorpio
If you were born on the Libra-Scorpio Cusp, from October 19 to
October 26, you are one determined drama queen who can pull people
in and spit them out just as fast! You were born on the Cusp of
Drama and Criticism, and you have quite the flare for both.
Born on this cusp, you are influenced by two alluring and powerful
planets. Venus, the ruling planet of Libra, is the planet of love and
beauty, while dark and mysterious Pluto, the ruling planet of Scorpio,
is known for its depth and passion. The combination of these two

21
 Born on the cusp
intense energies makes you a magnetic individual with the power of
seduction, whether you realize it or not!
The Air element (Libra) meets Water (Scorpio) on the Cusp of
Drama and Criticism, which can be calm and cool or a dangerous
hurricane. No matter if you're introverted or extroverted, you have an
internal storm brewing in both your head and your heart. The only
things that can make you feel settled is absolute honesty and learning
the truth.
Onlookers are normally captivated and curious about you. There's an
edge of dark beauty to your personality and perhaps even your outer
appearance. Many people appreciate your bluntness, even if they
seem intimidated. Right and wrong are black and white to you, and
you have no problem expressing when something is unjust. You're
intelligent and observant, so it's easy for you to notice these things,
but others may not catch on as quickly. Be patient when expressing
your judgment, otherwise you may drive everyone away.
Poised, intense, and secretive, it seems that you don't need anyone
around you, even though they're all very interested in you. It's hard for
you to let others in because you struggle with trusting people. You
hate liars and dishonesty, so you feel it's best to distance yourself.
However, you're still a highly emotional individual who craves
relationships. Trust your intuition when it comes to other people, but
don't be afraid to let them in. You have a lot of loyalty and love to
offer!

22
 Born on the cusp
Being born on the Cusp of Drama and Criticism, you have a charm
and magnetism to you that will give you control over any situation!
You're empathetic and desperate for equality, meaning that you'll dig
as deep as you need to learn the truth and get fair results. The ability
to instantly see right from wrong can make you judgmental, though.
Don't sacrifice your natural prudence but be gentle and kind when you
speak your mind. If you can learn to be open-minded and vulnerable,
you'll attract honest relationships and lead a rich and fulfilling life!
Strengths:
Powerful, competent, sexy, charming, intellectual, honest
You're an intensely caring individual who is blessed with bewitching
qualities! While your affection may not be obvious and touchy-feely,
you are passionate and care about the equality of those around you.
You have a keen intellect and can pinpoint good and evil quickly, and
you're able to firmly draw attention to this when needed. You're
mysterious and graceful, yet blunt and precise, making others swoon
over you. Don't be afraid to show them who you are!

Weaknesses:
Cynical, sarcastic, judgmental, isolated, harsh
You don't have a lot of patience, and those who cross you better
watch out for your Scorpion stinger! You have a strong moral code
that you believe should apply to everyone, not just yourself. When you
see prejudice, bullying, or even acts of immaturity, you place fierce
judgment and strike if you feel its deserved. It's wonderful that we

23
 Born on the cusp
have a vigilante like you watching out for the little guy, but embrace
your chill side! Work on patience and tolerance and you'll be much
more approachable.

Compatibility:
While many people may get under your skin, you really enjoy being in
a committed relationship! You're a good communicator with a lot of
love and emotion to offer a partner. Earth signs will bring a calming
presence to your life. They'll understand your headstrong intensity
and offer the loyalty and honesty that you need. Water signs will
match the passion and emotional support that you need in a
relationship, but you may not be able to reciprocate the affection they
ask for.
Advice:
Remember that humans are imperfect! If you continue to judge and
distance yourself from everyone who acts selfishly or makes mistakes,
you will wind up alone. Learn to forgive and try to open your mind.
This will relax you and allow you to socialize. People want to get to
know the mysterious, intelligent, captivating person that you are! Let
them in, build trust, and begin to cultivate relationships with the
people around you.

Scorpio-Sagittarius
If you were born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp, from November 18
to 24, you are an incredible source of strength and power! You were
born on the Cusp of Revolution, which makes you passionate,
capable, and ready to stand up and fight for your beliefs.
Because you were born on this cusp, you are influenced by the planets
Pluto and Jupiter -- the ruling planets of Scorpio and Sagittarius.
Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, encourages you to right wrongs
and embrace your personal power, while Jupiter fuels your optimistic
outlook. It's this combination of inspiration and transformation that
makes you so revolutionary!
You are blessed with both the empathy of a Water sign (Scorpio) and
the excitement of a Fire sign (Sagittarius), giving you a wide spectrum
of abilities. There's a combination of compassion and friendliness in
you that makes you incredibly generous -- just be wary of those
looking to take advantage of your giving nature.
Born on the Cusp of Revolution, you're action-oriented and strong,
ready to lead and inspire! Your ability to stick to your guns alongside
your outgoing, charismatic attitude will have you turning heads,
making moves, and doing important things in this lifetime. One thing
that's sure to hold you back, however, is a lack of freedom. The more
tied down you are the more stuck and frustrated you'll feel. Seek
opportunities that will allow you freedom and independence!

25
 Born on the cusp
People born on the Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp are especially proactive
and tend to be a bit wild or rebellious. You like to shake things up!
However, this energy can be too much for some, and could make you
seem intimidating or unapproachable. In fact, you may often be
misunderstood by others, because they never know which version of
you they'll see: the fun, flexible, life of the party, or the fierce, complex
creature with the sharp stinger.
Born on the Cusp of Revolution, you have strong values and beliefs
and you aren't afraid to speak your mind. You thrive around others
who share your strength and vitality, and who don't get rubbed the
wrong way too easily -- you've been known to ruffle a few feathers in
your day! Your independence and intensity can lead you to do great
things, but they can also cause power struggles in relationships and
conflict with authority figures. Channel your ferocity into ambition
instead of aggression, and there will be no stopping you.

Strengths:
Energetic, adventurous, powerful, accomplished, generous, passionate
Your combination of vision and determination gives you a competitive
edge that will carry you far in life. The ability to think deeply as well
as philosophically gives you a great understanding of who you are and
where you fit into the world. The energy and intensity you feel fuels
your desire to make positive changes for yourself and those around
you. Your bright sense of humor, optimistic outlook, and willingness
to interact genuinely with others will gain you fast, loyal friends.

 Born on the cusp

Weaknesses:
Secretive, selfish, rebellious, wild, aggressive, blunt, misunderstood
With the fury of Scorpio and the fire of Sagittarius, your demeanor
might seem aggressive or overwhelming to those around you. And
since you always need to be on the move, you can get impatient if
others get in your way or slow you down -- be gentle with them, they
could use your spunk! Your desire to fight for your beliefs is admired,
but it can manifest as a rebellious and unfocused frenzy if your energy
isn't channeled properly.

Compatibility:
You're a firecracker, and you need partners who respect your freedom
and independence. Because Scorpio can be a very suspicious sign and
Sagittarius prizes truth, honesty is one of the most important things
to you in a relationship. You're very attracted to anyone who is
passionate about their work or talents, and you love cheering them on!
Fire signs will mirror your intensity and will make fun life partners. A
relationship with a Fire sign is full of steamy intimacy, but could have
its fair share of explosive arguments, too! Water signs will provide
the affection and connection you're looking for in a committed
relationship. They may be more emotional than you need, but their
ability to care deeply and their efforts to understand you will make
you feel loved beyond measure.

27
 Born on the cusp

Advice:
Because you like to do things your own way, others' feelings aren't
really a priority to you. But how long would you stick around someone
who didn't make YOUR feelings important? Hard as it may be, make
an effort to put yourself aside once in a while and show the people in
your life that they matter. Ask more questions, listen more
attentively, and be more forgiving of mistakes.

Sagittarius-Capricorn
If you were born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp, from December 18
to 24, you are a true visionary headed toward certain success! You
were born on the Cusp of Prophecy, and your strong will and intense
determination will get you anywhere you want to go.
Jupiter rules Sagittarius as the planet of expansion, and Saturn
rules Capricorn as the planet of limits and lessons -- this means you
get the best of both worlds! This combination of inspiration and
sensibility blesses you with not only great visions, but also the
practicality to turn them into something real.
You are fueled with the passion of a Fire sign (Sagittarius) and the
determination of an Earth sign (Capricorn), pushing you forward with
fierce tenacity! The Fire element helps you think positively and get

28
 Born on the cusp
excited about life, but Fire alone can die out quickly. Thankfully you
are also influenced by the Earth element, which gives you an extra
dose of stamina to take things to the finish line.
People born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp are social, caring, and
loyal. You'll always be surrounded by people who love and admire you
and are interested in what you have to say. Being as enlightened and
reasonable as you are, others continually seek your advice. Just be
gentle and understanding with those who come to you! Teaching
others is a strong suit of yours, as long as you don't get aggressive or
impatient with people who learn at a different pace.
The influence of the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp creates brave,
hardworking individuals who are ready to thrive! You're motivated
and eager to climb ladders and kick some workforce butt. But your
intense focus and drive can create a wedge between you and your
loved ones. You are independent and uncompromising, and while that
attitude will have you changing the world, you might wind up a little
lonely from time to time.
If you're born on this Cusp of Prophecy, you have all the potential you
could ever imagine, right at your fingertips. Be thankful for the natural
energy and determination that boils inside you, but make sure you use
it for good. You can make a genuine difference, as long as you have a
plan and know where you're going! If you can remember to care for
others and have a good time on your way to the top, you'll be the
teacher and leader you were born to be!
Strengths:
29
 Born on the cusp
Responsible, outgoing, friendly, fair, loyal, humorous, successful
Your desire to expand your mind and experience all life has to offer --
coupled with your determination and drive -- can have you making a
big, positive impact in your life and the lives of others. You're able to
see and understand the issues at large, then be organized enough to
take the slow and steady steps needed to reach your goals. You know
how to problem solve strategically, without losing your optimistic
attitude -- the makings of an incredible leader!
Weaknesses:
Moody, closed, intense, impatient, uncooperative, selfish
You can come across as quite isolated and intense when you're in the
zone. You're influenced by that fiery Sagittarius energy, but your
Capricorn side prefers to turn into ambition and success. With all this
passion going into your work world, there's not a lot of time left for
the people in your life. Though you're outgoing and loyal to those who
make it into your circle, you might not offer them the emotional
balance that a true friendship or romance deserves.

Compatibility:
Belonging to the Cusp of Prophecy means leading, teaching, and
often being occupied at work or with your talents and passions. To
have a successful romantic relationship, you must partner with
someone who's willing to listen and learn from you and understand
your busy schedule. Fire signs will match your passion and encourage
your hard work, but their go-go-go approach will test your patience.

30
 Born on the cusp
Earth signs will make you feel grounded, and they'll appreciate your
reliability as much as you appreciate theirs.
Advice:
Try not to cut yourself off from others so much. You're a great worker
and have brilliant ideas that will push you up the professional ladder,
but spending too much time at work or on personal projects can limit
your growth. You need intelligent, fun, and philosophical conversation
to keep you inspired -- which you can't always find at the office. So let
your social butterfly loose! Put more time into making friends and
enjoying your loved ones, and you'll feel much more fulfilled overall.

Capricorn-Aquarius
If you were born on the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp, from January 17 to
23, you possess some seriously contrasting energies that make you
incredibly unique! You were born on the Cusp of Mystery and
Imagination, and you are a hardworking idealist.
Capricorn and Aquarius are very different signs, yet this combination
gives you the ability to view the world in a new and unparalleled
way. Saturn, the planet of limits and lessons, is the ruling planet of
Capricorn, encouraging you to take care of your real-world
responsibilities and have a practical outlook on life. On the other

31
 Born on the cusp
hand, Uranus, Aquarius’ ruling planet, pushes you to think radically
and open the minds of those around you. Together, these abilities can
make you a powerfully brilliant, ambitious, and creative person.
The elements that influence you create a complex contradiction as
well. The Earth side of you (Capricorn) is stable and determined,
while the Air half (Aquarius) craves variety and spontaneity. You
have the added challenge of learning to feed both these sides of your
personality, but if you can channel these energies correctly, you’ll be
able to thrive in any situation.
Born on the Cusp of Mystery and Imagination, you have a lot of
excitement happening internally. Your mind is always churning out
interesting thoughts and ideas, and you experience more breakthrough
moments than others. However, the constant stream of fantasies and
dreams flowing through your mind can sometimes make you seem
detached or uninterested in the people and situations around you.
You’re all about stimulating conversation, and you’re a wiz to talk to.
You see the world as it is and love to discuss its problems and ways
to fix it. While this makes you an intriguing conversationalist, it can
be intimidating and isolating when it comes to catching up with your
friends and family. You are full of wisdom and opinions about worldly
issues, but when was the last time you asked your loved ones how
they’re doing? It’s a noble thing to strive for the future, but don’t
forget to take a break every now and then to check in on the world
that’s right in front of you.

32
 Born on the cusp
Life will never be dull for those born on the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp.
When you aren’t hard at work, your creative ideas and social
connections fill your life with excitement and purpose. You’re capable
of being a great leader and inspiring necessary change, if you’re
willing to speak up. But remember, even the greatest ideas require
support from those around you, so put extra effort into connecting
with and appreciating the people in your life!

Strengths:
Determined, creative, entertaining, idealistic, witty, empathetic
Born on the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp, you are blessed with the drive
for success and the gift of creativity. Normally these two traits might
clash, but for you these traits allow you to dream big and envision
positive change. You can easily put yourself in others’ shoes and see
the world from different perspectives. This also makes you a kind and
generous friend -- when you take the time to listen.

Weaknesses:
Detached, chaotic, selfish, aloof, critical, judgmental
Because you have your amazing imagination and creativity to keep
you entertained, you may close yourself off in your own world and feel
like you don’t need others to keep you company. You enjoy being alone
with your thoughts, but this can make your loved ones feel unwanted -
- which is a shame because they are your greatest supporters!
Remember that teamwork makes the dream work and if you don’t put

33
 Born on the cusp
a little effort into your relationships every now and then, they may not
be there anymore when you need them.
Compatibility:
You enjoy your freedom, so you may find that committed and co-
dependent relationships aren’t really your cup of tea. You thrive on
your own, but you enjoy the support and friendship that a lover offers.
It might take time until you’re ready to settle, but when you do, you’ll
find that Fire signs keep things fun and light! They’ll dig your
creative work ethic and can easily get behind your radical ideas. Air
signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius can also make good partners for
you. They’ll be able to keep up with your constant flow of
conversation, and be understanding of your not-so-emotional
personality.

Advice:
Pay attention! The inside of your own head may be entertaining, but
it’s important to keep one foot in the real world. You don’t want to
miss the important conversations and developments happening
around you. Listen to others when they talk to you and don’t be
judgmental if they’re not as quick or creative as you are. You’ll have
sustainable, long lasting friendships if you’re willing to put in the
work. Have fun in life and never let your sense of possibility and
imagination fade!

Aquarius-Pisces
If you were born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp, between February 15 to
21, you are full of compassion and creativity. You are born on the
Cusp of Sensitivity and can feel the weight of the world -- which is
both a blessing and a curse!
Because you’re born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp, you feel the
influence of both planets Uranus and Neptune. Uranus (the ruling
planet of Aquarius) riles up your eccentric and progressive energy,
while Neptune (the ruling planet of Pisces) encourages you to
embrace your dreams and imagination. You might find that you
frequently get lost in in your mind, and have trouble keeping up with
the real world! But your thoughts can be impressively powerful and
spiritual, so keep feeding that vast brain of yours.
Spiritual, artistic, peace-loving, and friendly, those born on the
Aquarius-Pisces cusp are highly original people. This is the cusp most
likely to be labeled "offbeat" or "eccentric". You are highly intellectual,
however, probably not so good with practical details and follow-
through. Your intuitive powers are very strong, and delving into
spiritual matters and philosophical ideals is much more important to
you than just managing the details of day-to- day life.
You are incredibly sensitive to the world around you, but this doesn’t
mean you burst into tears at the slightest thing! On the contrary,

35
 Born on the cusp
you’re quite strong emotionally. What it means is that you are
especially in-tune with the feelings, fears, hopes, and needs of
everyone around you. The humanitarianism of Aquarius combines
with the empathy of Pisces to help you -- or maybe force you -- to take
compassion and understanding to new heights. You absorb the
feelings of those around you and have a genuine desire to help others.
However, it’s important you remember to nurture your own needs and
feelings, too. The emotions of the world can often be negative, and
could make you feel depressed or overwhelmed from time to time.
Allow yourself the same love you so willingly give to others.
Strengths:
Understanding, empathetic, generous, intuitive, idealistic, creative
Your innate sensitivity and love for humanity make you a very kind,
caring, and generous individual. Others are attracted to your
selflessness and ability to see the world with all- encompassing
compassion and understanding. You’re strongly appreciated amongst
your friends and family because you’re such a great listener and
confidant.
Weaknesses:
Detached, depressed, isolated, unfocused, insecure
Your mind is in the clouds and your eyes are on the future, which
disconnects you from what’s happening in the present moment. It can
be hard for you to engage in casual, everyday conversation with
friends, family, or coworkers, because you’d rather escape into your

36
 Born on the cusp
imagination. Dreams will enrich you, but you’ll need to pull yourself
back down to earth every once in a while in order to live your fullest,
most balanced life.

Compatibility:
You make a delightful partner! You have a lot of love to give and have
an even greater understanding of how your partner wants to be loved.
Earth signs will appreciate your sensitivity and your unwavering
compassion, and will help keep you grounded with their firm grasp on
reality. Water signs will understand you. They will connect with you
on an intuitive, spiritual level and provide you with the deep talks you
crave and domesticity you need.

Advice:
Allow your creativity to flow! Find a life path that encourages your
daydreaming self to do what you do best. Be as imaginative and
creative as you can -- you won’t feel fulfilled otherwise. Offer your
empathetic ear and words of advice to those who need it, and try not
to let the sad stuff get to you. You have a rare understanding of the
world and have unique ideas on how to change it, so keep moving and
stay hopeful!

Pisces-Aries

37
 Born on the cusp
If you’re born on the Pisces-Aries Cusp, from March 17 to March 23,
you’re a dreamer and a go-getter! Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac
and Aries is the first, so you were fittingly born on the Cusp of
Rebirth. This makes you both imaginative and impulsive, and chances
are you know what you want -- and you want it now.
Born on this cusp, you are influenced by fantastical Neptune, the
ruling planet of Pisces, and Mars, the ruling planet of Aries. Neptune
will boost your imagination, while active Mars will get you fired up
with initiative. This makes you a creative individual who takes your
dreams and puts them into action. You know how to make your
wishes become realities!
You are gifted with the intuition and empathy of a Water sign
(Pisces) and the courageous, eager energy of a Fire sign (Aries). This
is a steamy mix of elements! You have deep emotions and beliefs
boiling inside you, and you can’t wait to share them with the world.
Many people love hearing about your unique way of looking at things,
but don’t take it personally if others disagree with you -- not everyone
has the ability to think the way you do.
Being born on the Pisces-Aries cusp, you’re instinctive, strong, and
raring to go. This mix of energy allows you to combine your
fearlessness with compassion for others, which can make you a very
successful leader! You are loyal to your friends and colleagues and
eager to take certain people with you on your way to the top.
While you’re fun, smart, and quirky, you can also be very impatient.
Born on this cusp, your intuitive knowledge is joined by an impulsive -

38
 Born on the cusp
- sometimes immature -- need to act. You don’t always let your
thoughts marinate, so you have a tendency to put your ideas into
action as soon as they come to you. Sometimes you will luck and find
success this way, but others may not be comfortable going along on
your ride.
Because you were born on the Cusp of Rebirth, you have a passionate
imagination that allows you to craft new and different opinions,
theories, and stories. You are an innovative pioneer who can easily
understand the needs of others and take the best course of action.
Focus your energy and use your abilities wisely, and you’ll be an
impressive force to be reckoned with.

Strengths:
Intuitive, smart, empathetic, driven, fun, quirky, creative
Your ability to churn out ideas, solutions, and plans makes you an
exceptional leader. Life is never dull when you’re around! You know
how to solve problems creatively and have the energy to act and make
concrete decisions. You have a strong empathy and compassion for
your loved ones, and you’re eager to listen and advise them with your
intuitive senses.

Weaknesses:
Stubborn, loud, impulsive, direct, selfish, uncompromising
Your different way of looking at the world and willingness to share
with others can sometimes be off-putting in social settings. You love
to dive into deep subjects quickly with anyone who is willing to listen,

39
 Born on the cusp
and while this can make fast friends for those willing to engage, it can
also make other people quite uncomfortable. You tend to latch on to
your beliefs and can be very stubborn when someone challenges you.
Enjoy the debate! Try to relax and have a fun, diverse conversation
with those who disagree with you.

Compatibility:
You’re an eccentric individual who appreciates having a good partner
to talk to. Air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius will love staying up
all night talking together and sharing unique ideas and dreams. Earth
signs, however, are the yin to your yang. You will light up their world
and they will offer you the grounding support that you need. This is a
recipe for a serious relationship though, so you might need to date
around first before you settle down.

Advice:
You enjoy the sound of your voice, ideas, and opinions very much --
and it can affect your social life. Practice your patience and give
others the chance to speak. Yes, you are an intelligent individual, but
that doesn’t mean that others don’t have good ideas as well. Work a
little harder on your listening skills and ability with work with others,
and you’ll be a rockstar with a fan club!
