WHO am I really? Leo or Cancer

I need some help here, an objective bit of insight.

I was born July 24, around 12:30 pm. I know I am on a cusp.
My mother was born on the same day 25 years earlier.

She is definately a leo, but I don't think I am.

I do not enjoy the limelight, and am actually very quiet and shy, although if I have to, will rise to the occassion and speak (in the case of teaching a class etc. in my profession)

I am more of a nurturer, and feel a sense of enveloping those around me and supporting them.

Not that being a Leo would be bad, I just don't think it's who I am.
When I look at a list of Leo qualities, I feel some apply and many do not.
I don't feel a strong desire to lead, although I will do it when I have to, but encourage those around me to offer suggestions.

I have gone to astro cafe site, and cannot figure out where my moon is or anything.

Is there an Astro for Dummies site?

Any help would be appreciated

go visit http://astro.cafeastrology.com/cgi-bin/astro/natal and put your time of birth.The cusp may be accurate but it is important to know your ascendance(what signtraits others see in you ) too........

I Was born on the Cancer/Leo cusp too. July,22.. and i have a Leo moon. Its cool though. I am loving sweet and very caring. But if you screw with me or my family, you better watch your back! lol Its not so bad being on a water fire cusp!

I went to the link, and it definately gave me the run down. I called my mom and asked for the exact time of birth, and she couldn't remember clearly - it was back before 'natural' childbirth was the fad (haha) But she said she knew it was afternoon that they arrived at the hospital, and she wasn't in labor a long time.

But when I read the character overview, some things are dead on, and some things are way off.

My reason for the search is because I am quite drawn to a Virgo male. Some sites say that Leo Virgo is a bad match, and that Cancer Virgo is a good match. I just wonder why there is such a strong attraction, and if it is my cancer-ness that he is attracted to.

Your a leo... And dont fret. I Know a Virgo woman and Leo man that have been together 20 years. My aunt and uncle. My ex husbands mom is a virgo woman with his leo father, they been together 34 years!

But, and here's the insecurity showing, I am a female Leo, he is a male Virgo.

They spend a great deal of time trying to figure out those Virgo males on the virgo board.
They are just so darn interesting.

thanks for the help

I read somewhere that the sign extends into the first 4 days of the next sign.

Then if I am a Leo, what is the cusp all about?
Like I said, I'm not unhappy to be a Leo, just questioning some of the not so obvious traits....

But.... I do like to have a full mane.

I am very much like you Kitty. I am a little of both. I have often felt that I have more emotion than your average Leo, but am also not quite the Drama Queen, except for sometimes...... and then it comes out.

But mainly I can be very shy, and actually embarrassed when a guy shows me attention. I often back away a little bit.
So after I say or do something that might demonstrate how I feel, then I step back, and become quiet for a day or two.

It's knowing who you are and being able to work with it.
I definately have the ups and downs emotionally of the Cancer and that is the roughest thing, because I can't always trust my instinct. I have to go back like you mentioned, and think about it and come to a decision later on.

oh well, I guess it just takes time.
I think, Virgo is a good match for me.
We'll see
