Cancer/Leo Cusps?

What do you know about Cancer/Leo cusps?

Pros and cons?

My really good male friends birthday is July 22nd.

He is clingy. Cancer
He is bossy. Leo
He is so fashionable. Like label crazy. He will literally say this is the newest Ralph Lauren shirt or do you like my new True Religion jeans. Leo maybe a litle Cancer
Kind of Cheap-Certainly not Leo
Disappears all the time- Cancer
Hates confrontation-Cancer
Is all about his kids. He has an adult daughter and she still gets anything and everything she wants. Maybe Leo -maybe Cancer not sure
Very protective-I once told him I was having a problem with someone. He was plotting revenge on them without my knowledge.-Cancer
Talks about the past NON STOP -Cancer

It's really interesting when I first met him. I was like when is your birthday. I was thinking this dude is a Leo for sure. Then he started with all that emotional stuff and I was confused.

I know another guy who's birthday is July 21st. This dude is Leo all day. He might cry when he gets home. I don't know. I never looked at their charts though. They might have a lot of fire in them.

i can't compartmentalise the traits as above but i work with a cancer/leo cusper and would have the following observations:

she is sneaky and covertly bitchy but despite that, she's so personable you can't help but like her.

she is paranoid about her position in the workplace and i assume privately too and gets defensive very quickly. i posted a video of my boss being pursued by a british news team with a bag over his head on facebook and she immediately called and said i should remove it and that i would definitely get sacked cos my boss would find out....so she gets angsty really easily. she wound up telling my boss anyway who responded that...roxi does what she likes, lol...so epic FAIL

cancer/leo man i know is flirty and gregarious but is really sensitive. he's also sneaky and was sacked from where we worked cos he sold corporate info to a competitor....so proper sneaky. flirtatious but quite needy in relationships although he doesn't seem to take much seriously which is why i think he lost his last gf which devastated him. oh yeah and he disappears for months on end...sometimes trailing off in the middle of chats never to be heard from again for months, lol. again, and i think this is leo...you can't help but love this guy 🙂

i'm not sure the cancer/leo cusp's temper is as bad as a full on leo...they tend to get emotional more easily...the cancer/leo woman at work gets tearful which is always my cue to go for the jugular whereas i wouldn't even contend with a full on leo...i guess cos their anger comes from a different place maybe...they're usually so easy going but when they lose it, omg...flee the building!!

i should imagine cancer/leo cuspers to be more jealous and possessive too.

I'm a Cancer/Leo cusp, July 24th. I can't really identify with most of the traits that are outlined. I'm not clingy, though I find ignoring intolerable. I can be bossy though, i'm not exactly fashionable and hate shopping so have hardly any clothes and just recycle everything I have got, I buy good clothes when I do buy them but I wouldn't know the lables, my Aries friends are label freaks. Never cheap with anything, money is meaningless and there to be spent. I don't disappear a lot but under heavy emotional stress I do retreat into my cave until its worked through on my own, I think that's Leo trait, to prideful to ask for help or admit that there is something other than sunny personality going on. I don't particularly enjoy confrontation but know that it's necessary and just get on with it when its needed.

My kids are not my whole life (they are the most important part of it but there is more to life than your children) and they get hardly anything that they want, unless it's christmas or birthdays - they get what they need, wants are for them to provide themselves when they can.

I am extremely protective of everyone I know, and in that instance confrontation is not a problem if someone has hurt somebody that I know, the past is the past, not something I look to an awful lot - I move in forward motion, which is why I find it so easy to forget past hurts that have been visited upon me, this is not a good thing. I am very very emotional however I never cry - ever - the only time I can remember actually crying is when my father died and I cried non-stop for a week. I am very sensitive too. My temper is there and its huge, but it takes a hell of a lot to make me lose it, but when I do its too awful to describe. I??ve never experienced being jealous, especially in romantic relationships, but can't say that that isn't something that could happen 🙂 I can be possessive though, but possessive without being clingy.

I have a cancer Moon which I think is more influential than the cusp but I also have Sagittarius rising which I think sorts out all the possessiveness and jealousy that could otherwise be there. It also helps with the going forward aspect and forgetting the past.

Okay, i'm just saying but... sign "cuspers" don't really exist. They are either one sign or another. Cusps only apply to houses.

^ You're right. You ARE "just saying." Your comment adds nothing to the conversation.

And the rest of my statement stands the same. Right.

It's not like i wanted to add something to be honest. I just couldn't help but to nitpick at this 🙂

Many sites and software will give you inaccurate charts. The only way to be sure is to draw one by hand.

I find astro.com the most accurate site, though. It says July 22 gets a 29 degrees Cancer Sun. It doesn't matter if it's 29 degrees, it's still a Cancer Sun. However, given the position the Sun is in, you will most likely get Leo Mercury, which would explain the "leonine" traits.

Or you can also look at the rest of the chart. Venus Leo is also likely since it always moves near the Sun, just like Mercury. The ASC is also important, the other angles, stressful aspects and so on.

It's not really my own argument. Just ask any serious astrologer and they will tell you the same. And I would love to see you elaborate on your last comment a bit more. You may say my argument has no validity, but I'm yet to see YOUR argument on this matter. It's kind of sad and disappointing, if you ask me.

lol

sometimes, it is difficult to argue with some aquas.

You both are right in your own way.

Besides, astrologers, no matter how long /YEARS even they've been seriously studying, they make mistakes too, they're only human. And that's why sometimes, their sources are fallible/misleading. Even if they do "channel" energies from sources that are "unknown" (example) they can easily be misled.

I'd say just trust your own instincts after reading about their bdays and what geographical location they've been born (sometimes the location helps influence /environment/ and also their upbringing)

also, observe/trust the truest sources which are your family and friends, and acquaintances too.
If they're good people (most people in the world are good), they won't lead you astray.

my personal opinion: i believe in cusps.

@lisabethur8

I think you are right about something. There's no statement that cannot be challenged. But in order to do so, you will need a proper argument. If you don't, then whatever you say has no validity and shouldn't be taken seriously. They will laugh at you and maybe go eat a salad like Rockthenerds just suggested me to do. Sounds like a good idea to me.

wow i'm an aqua and i have a difficult time reading some of you guys. Lol.

i can't tell if you're just being half funny. 🙂

Ah well.

hey it's not always about being right or wrong or whatever, it's about understanding other people and where they are coming from. and that's the only universal truth. Learn from the heart as well. Balance. That's the lesson leos or strong leo influences usually give the rest of us. 🙂

imo, the only time an argument should be stressed, is when someone is hurting other people or being insensitive and cruel for no other reason than to be cruel.

Thanks for derailing the topic with your bullshit. 🙂 Go be a killjoy elsewhere pls. Kthx.

Well, yeah. It's just that i think there's always a structure and logic behind everything, even astrology. Otherwise what's the point of studying anything? The whole idea of sign cups seems cool and all, but it just doesn't make sense considering all the bases astrology is built on. But then again most people don't take astrology that seriously and they will believe what they want to believe anyways.

@rockyroadicecream

I have a feeling you are referring to me, so here's my answer.

It takes more than one to derail a thread. You are welcome, anyways. And no, i will keep "derailing" this topic for as long as I (and people who are willing to help out) want. Kthx.

k, anywayz sorreeee.

i was off to bed with hubby anywayz. :p

good luck figuring out leo/cancers!

@seraph

That was really worth the read. There's nothing i could find to disagree with and, regrettably, it seems there's nothing for me to add to what's already been said. I can't make your post better than it already is and i guess that saves me the work. Thanks.

I believe this was asking about certain cusps, not asking if they existed or not. Reading fail x 545634.

L O freaking L that this is being discussed as if it's hard science. Are you serious??

I dunno Rockyroad, if I was interested enough in what makes a certain person tick to post a thread about it, and was then presented with a lot of interesting information that could well be pertinent to that persons personality, I think I would have to go off and then find out about their houses etc. and be delighted that there was even more info out there to help me gain a better understanding of said person.

As I said I'm considered a Cancer/Leo cusp but I view myself as totally Leo where my sun sign is concerned, following on from some very interesting articles Seraph posted a few months ago I delved deeper into the houses and their placements in my chart, and found that this information was much more accurate, sometimes scarily so, where I am concerned than the bog standard stuff trotted out by the one or two paragraphs given to explain a cusp personality, which in my case didn't reflect me at all. To some it is a hard science, and to others the fact that WE even talk about astrology in any sense would make them question are we serious - so personally I look at all things presented and am glad of any extra information given, as I am serious about it.

@ celtic and the other derailers, fine be serious about astrology, but 25th is right, pick your fights in a thread that asks you to be technical, be anal about it there all you want if you need to let that out. All Rocky wanted was to hear pros and cons and what we knew about them, meaning obviously op and the 3 people that shared their experiences with them all believe they existed. No fucking shit you're either one sun or the other. I know very little about astrology but how does that not go without saying..I really shouldn't have to quote the op because if you can type paragraphs of counter arguments then you should be able to read the two sentences that had nothing to do with "what makes them tick" or "please explain what a cusp is". That was written no where. Why don't you place that info on the cusp board where it belongs or here if you're that bored with life and love to argue. http://www.dxpnet.com/opinion/astrology/Cusps!-3257741.asp#3257780. Sorry about your thread op.

I'm not picking a fight, just trying to help the OP who wants to understand a person with a certain birthdate 🙂 I'm one of the 3 people that shared my experience - and its not a counter argument I shared, its my experience, as a person who is considered a cusper and the particular cusp they were asking about, and as that cusp person I have found that the generic traits stated on 'tinternet don't apply to me whereas house placements do, I never said I didn't believe in the cusps themselves. You seem to be the only one turning it into an argument and getting all hissy fit about it, are you a Scorpio by any chance?

Posted by Rockthenerds
Wtf are you talking about if i'm arguing then tell me with who and what it's about. Then if you must, explain why you care and I don't. Btw that wasn't only directed @ you so Idk why you're defending yourself. The only comment directed at you was the " the two sentences that had nothing to do with "what makes them tick" or considering yourself 2 different sun signs..

Of course I'm a scorp what gave it away the scorpion in the avatar? lmao *facepalm.

"@ celtic and the other derailers"

This is what makes it directed at me 🙂

Actually I thought you're avatar was a childs guitar. What made me think you were a scorpy (and a young one actually) was the fact that you appear to be foaming at the mouth in anger in your replies and actually imagine there is an argument going on rather than a calm trading of opinions 😉

Anyways, I'm off to watch Irelands pride play their first match in the Euro qualifiers, I shall leave you to whatever argument you think is going on. See ya!

The "information" that's bombarded in this thread has nothing to do with "what do you know about Cancer/Leo cusps?" The answers of "RAWR CUSPS DON'T EXIST!!" isn't informative in relation to the topic at all.

And as far as the rest of the chart- no offense, but dur. I just wanted a generalized idea of everyone's experience of Cancer/Leo cusps.

But fucking NEVERMIND. This forum is useless anymore. :/

well ok then 🙂 If all you want is the generalised version then just google it and you'll get the stock 2/3 paragraphs that describe "EVERYBODY" who is a cancer/leo cusp. If you didn't want actual insight from actual cancer/leo cusps then no point in posting on an internet board where, god forbid, one or two might try to give you that insight. Good luck getting to know your man - cause (and I say this as a cancer/leo cusp) if your incapable of entering into long long discussions about a topic and can't take a different viewpoint or wander about the topic looking for different outlooks on it, and not resorting to generalised idea's - without getting your little panties in a twist - then you'll get absolutely nowhere with him underestimating as you are the intellectual outlook of Leo 😉 You may give up now.


And btw, there was no RAWR coming from any Leo in this thread - obviously you have the caricature of the Leo traits stuck firmly in your thread - which really won't help your cause. You may set your sights on another sign - but leave the scorpios and virgos alone if this is your attitude, you'll be rightly fucked then.
