It’s a mix of three signs
If you were born on a cusp, congratulations!
You have the best of two worlds. You’re a mix of three signs — the one you think you are and the two that fall on either side of it.
It’s all about your birthday. Your sun sign is determined by your birth date. Each sign has certain dates assigned to it, but cusps aren’t limited by dates. In an ideal world (the real world, but better), astrologers say your zodiac sign would change every day because Earth is constantly moving along its axis (kind of like how people change their moods, but more slowly).
On the cusp of two horoscope signs
Aries and Taurus season is a great example of how the earth’s movements affect your chart. The movement of the earth around the sun is what causes the cusp shift in zodiac signs. Cusps are a few days before or after any astrological sign, where there’s overlap between two signs, says Stardust. “The dates in which each zodiac sign begins and ends can vary depending on the year,” says Stardust. “The boundaries that separate one sign from another are not universally agreed upon; they’re constantly shifting.” If you were born on or close to a cusp date (the day in which one zodiac sign ends and another begins), you may have noticed that you identify with some traits of both signs—your energy may fluctuate from one star sign to another, just like the seasons change throughout the year.
How do you know you’re a cusp sign?
Astrology is a fascinating subject, and what’s on the horizon for you at the start of 2017 is as good a time as any to take a look. If you explore the different signs and how they affect your personality, moods, and financial prospects, you’ll find that there are many things in common across all 12 signs of the zodiac. There’s even one particular group of people whose collective traits have been studied for years: those born under Cusps.
Cusps are groups of three or four signs that share some characteristics in common. For instance, if your birthday is close to the next sign (like January 25), but not exactly on it (like February 22) you might be a cusp sign—and if so, learning more about this group can really help bring your astrological horoscope (“birth chart”) into focus.
