What Is Considered The Cusp In Astrology? Susan Taylor Explains

What is a cusp in astrology?

The cusp is the time were the sun moves from one sign to another in a birth chart. There are millions of people in this conflictual case. Let’s take the example of people born on December 21st. The million-dollar question that arises from this particular example is; are you then a Sagittarius or Capricorn?

The changing of signs are very sensitive days when the energy rapidly passes from one sign to another. On these days the two zodiac signs transcend to reach their infinite power. If this is the case for you, then your energy is a mixture of the two influences, which could mean it's hard for you to relate to just one. So, when you read about your qualities, flaws and even compatible matches, you should always read the predictions for both signs.

In a birth chart, the cusp corresponds to a boundary line between two signs of the zodiac.

Do cuspid individuals therefore have original personalities?

In addition to the passage from one sign to the next, the cusp marks the passage from one house to another. For astrologers, the signs are to heaven what the houses are to Earth. The process of domifying thus makes it possible to understand how a person functions, whether in relation to others, work, love... Each house has its own specificities, as shown in the sky and earth chart below.

In the same way that these folks shares the characteristics of the two signs of the zodiac that frame it, it also combines the aspects of the two adjacent houses. People born in a cusp are special for this reason. But the best way to find out which sign influences your personality is to analyze your natal chart.
