Are You on the Cusp? Here Are All the Cusp Dates
As an astrologer, many people who are interested in their sign but have little knowledge beyond that tell me, “But I was born on the cusp,” as if it means something significant. They feel that if they are born on the edge of two signs, it somehow means they may have both traits or that their sun sign is muddled in some way. I’m here to tell you that is not true.
Below, we’ll go over what cusp signs mean and what cusp dates are.
Zodiac Cusp Meaning
Cusp dates are real, but cusp signs are not. If you were born on the cusp, it does not mean that your sun sign is anything different than what you were born with. Let’s get that straight. For example, if you were born on March 20, perhaps born at 29 degrees Pisces, your sun sign is Pisces.
The reason we might associate more with our “cusp” sign more than with our own is because there may be other placements in your birth chart with that sign. All planets follow pretty closely to the sun, so whichever sign the sun is in, other planets are likely to be in the same sign or close to it.
