Curious about Cusps signs
Understanding Cusp Signs in Astrology
People born on the cusp often exhibit traits from both signs but tend to identify more strongly with one. For example, someone born on March 22 may feel more Aries with Pisces influences. Cusp signs blend characteristics and vary individually. Exploring your birth chart reveals your dominant traits beyond just the cusp.
I am born on the 17th of April, supposedly the first day of the Aries-Taurus cusp. Most people who meet me can't believe I am an Aries because it takes time for me to show my personality, but I think it's because of my Libra Rising and Capricorn Moon. I do have Mercury in Taurus, in the 8th House, so I am methodical and steady in the way I learn things. It takes time and information for me to form an opinion and I can be very stubborn. I also like material things and possessions. Not luxury items, but I am very connected to my books, paintings, souvenirs, furniture...and I have to personalise everything. I have my own cup for work for example.

Doesn’t sun go into Taurus around 20/21 April?
I thought that most cusp were around 20-23rd over a 3 day period??
@generic do you feel more Taurus than Aries?

yes but there's a theory that 3 days before and after that date are the Aries-Taurus cusp.
I do not believe in cusps' signs. You are either Aries or Pisces, that's all.

I don’t believe in cusps but shit, because of your rising and moon, I’d also be very confused in which one of those two sun signs you fall under the most. You definitely come off more chill than fiery, which once again can be attributed to your moon 😆 But yes you are an Aries.

What house is your sun in 7th or 8th?

7th 🤦♀️
Is it possible the reason is you have some other placements with the neighboring sign?
For me I’m Sag/Cap cusp, Sag sun with 3 Cap placements. Yes I seem like both, but it’s not just about the cusp.
I thought that most cusp were around 20-23rd over a 3 day period??
19th of Feb. I was born less than 3 hours into Pisces Sun. Do I feel any difference between the energies or a stronger pull of one over the other!? Its somewhat challenging to make that distinction considering my Sun is in the 11th house Aqua as is my Aqua Mercury & the verdict is still out on my Aqua mars as to weather it is in the late degree 10th house or early degree 11th house. I am also Uranus dominant & my Mercury & Mars make a ton of aspects with other planets. In essence. it’s an intricate web of aspects & energies which I’d like to think flow rather harmoniously.
So to answer the initial question… occasionally, certain quirks surface which I can say stereotypically are Aquarius traits other times Pisces but there is never a clear line of delineation. As it should be given one’s charts composition.
On the same token, I believe in cusps but only in instances of early/late degrees. Considering we are talking about energy, it is boundless & it does not say “oh look, there is a clear line of distinction & shant cross it!” 🙄 So yes, I do believe Sun carries some residual energy from a previous or adopts energy from a following sign. Heck, there is something called shadow period when planets move retrograde and/or direct. Why should this be any different!?

I can't copy a link but if you Google Aries - Taurus cusp you get the dates 17-23 April 🤷♀️
I just barely made the march/aries cusp. But is it the cusp or my aries moon. Idk. Up for debate.

7th 🤦♀️
I see. Not bad. Very cardinal chart

It's very bad because I am bipolar to the extreme. My Sun/Asc combo is 180° and Aries and Libra are soooo different it hurts. My Moon is in detriment Capricorn, but in the 4th House, House of Its ruler Cancer and 180° opposition. My Mercury is in Taurus, but in the 8th House, Scorpio's house...another 180°...but this is a thread about cusps so...this is off topic

Thankyou
I’d never heard that before
Someone born on the cusp are they more one sign than the other ie: 22nd March are they more Aries with Pisces influences?
Are there any cuspers here? Do you feel more one sided than the other?
my birthday 😳
i've never really thought too deeply about being born on the cusp...but i guess you could say i'm pretty emotional....i cry watching documentaries and dog videos and stuff...lol but i have a really tough skin and a spirit that's not easily breakable so i guess that's an aries thing...? it doesn't matter what kinda hell i may go through, i feel like as long as i'm still breathing, then i'm fine lol😂😂 what was that famous quote....fall seven times, get up eight?
yeah that's how i live my life lol 😂
my uncle is a nov 24 sag/scorpio cusp...he's very guarded and cautious like a scorpio...but he also has a virgo moon which likes to analyze a lot and poke holes in things...? so i dunno
