Cuspy Critters

For Those on the Cusp of a Zodiac Sign in Astrology

Cusps

Libra / Scorpio Cusp

· ·

Libra Scorpio Cusp. Charismatic Charmer meets Deep Planner.
October 19 – 25th. Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Libra is ruled by Venus and Scorpio co-ruled by Mars and Pluto.

Since Pluto was demoted and seems to fluctuate in status — planet / not planet — with advocates on either side… let’s consider the Mars angle. A ferocious strength, a powerful force and a warrior. This gets nicely balanced out with lovey-dovey Venutian vibes.

Last month we touched upon how scientists have discovered phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus, raising the intriguing prospect of life on Venus (ok, not likely humanoid, but still the possibilities are mind boggling). Venus is the planet of love, beauty and money.

What does this combo of energies bless you with?
We think you are sensual, smart and have a petit soupçon of that well known Scorpion sting. You might lurk in your basement / the shadows for a while planning out a bold next move, but your Libra side will balance that out with a softer, more creative approach, so instead of a sting, it will feel like an embrace.

In short — A cunning tactician with a generous streak.

Virgo / Libra Cusp

September 19 – 25th.

Pesky Perfectionist Meets Charismatic Charmer .Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!


Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Libra by Venus.


Astronomers recently discovered phosphine gas in the clouds of Venus, a sign of potential life. Likely not humanoid, but the imagination does tend to wander with the implications.

Got up bright and early to listen to the announcement !

Venus influences you to have a wonderful imagination, to be charming, seductive and brimming with ideals. Mercury rules over communication (mercury retrograde is surely a familiar peril:), travel, chance, commerce and, bonus, he got to escort the dead to the underworld. So you can deliver your message with poise, balancing out the taskmaster side of Virgo with the good vibes of Libra. Yet, the earthiness of Virgo does keep you grounded and not too ethereal, so your sense of aesthetics and love isn’t overly idealized. Underneath that lovely charm, you’ve got a brisk and efficient streak that protects from being swindled, you lucky beauty.

Leo / Virgo Cusp

August 19 – 25th. Leo / Virgo Cusp. Tidy Thinker Meets Flamboyant Force.
Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Leo is ruled by the Sun and Virgo by Mercury.

Mercury was named after the Ancient Roman god of messengers. Mercury rules over communication, travel, chance, commerce and, bonus, he got to escort the dead to the underworld. The Sun is, of course, a star, not a planet. But what a significant star! Leos do tend to be known for their radiance and star like qualities, not to mention relishing being the centre of attention:)

This combination of tactical communicator and formidable presence makes you a potentially very skilled leader, knowing just what to say and when, and being able to pivot and think quickly, yet with a mathematical cunning, to brilliantly respond to whatever the situation calls for.

Leo’s ruling element is fire and Virgo’s is earth. The influence of the Earth’s grounds and stabilizes the all consuming energy of fire, not taming you, just helping you channel that energy to the greater good. Between the influence of the dramatic lion, and the spreadsheet loving not so domestic maiden — you are a generous and sparkling soul, with a penchant for order.

Channel your inner lion / lioness fierce and bold power, and use your Virgoian precision to lead and shine your light with dexterity and wit.

Cancer / Leo Cusp

June 19 – 25  Cancer Leo  Cusp. Flamboyant Force Meets Sympathetic Soul.

Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Leo by the Sun.

The Sun is, of course, a star, not a planet. But what a significant star!  Leos do tend to be known for their radiance and star like qualities, not to mention relishing being the centre of attention:) The moon is no less of a key player in terms of its overarching impact on us — its gravitational pull and lunar cycles affect everything from the tides to our moods.  

Leo’s ruling element is fire and Cancer’s is water — what a contrast. Rather than thinking that the water puts out the fire, why not embrace that sizzling steam and the alchemical transformation it implies?

Between the influence of the dramatic lion, and the sensitivity of the Cancerian moon, — you are generous, authoritative, commanding and yet warm and fuzzy.

A sympathetic star. Leos also enjoy being pampered, and Cancers do like their creature comforts, so you might excel at creating a nurturing and stunning living space for yourself.

Channel your inner lion / lioness fierceness, courage and use your Cancerian empathy to lead and shine your light with grace. Show us the way baby!

Cancer > Fly Me to the Moon ….In Other Words, Darling Kiss Me…
Leo > Let that Lucky Ol’ Sun Just Roll Around Heaven All Day…

Disclaimer: As always, planets are really only in one place at one time (unless of course you consider quantum mechanics and parallel universes:), so your sun sign really is in only either ~29 degrees Cancer  or ~0 degrees Leo. But us cuspies know that we can feel the influence of the other ruling planet. We believe a few days either side of the switch (which BTW shifts every year and depends on where in the world you decided to bust into this planet) feels about right. You decide your own truth!

Gemini / Cancer Cusp

· ·

June 18 – 24  Gemini / Cancer Cusp. Sassy Socialite Meets Sensitive Soul.

Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Gemini is ruled by Mercury and Cancer by the Moon.

Mercury was named after the Ancient Roman god of messengers. Mercury rules over communication (hello Mercury retrograde*), travel, chance, commerce and, bonus, he got to escort the dead to the underworld.  The hunter goddess Artemis is associated with the moon. The moon has a tremendous influence on us, on the planet — its gravitational pull and lunar cycles affecting the tides, our own emotional and physical equilibrium.

Between that speedy mercurial energy and the subconscious drama of the moon, you’ve got the true aim of the hunter with the diplomacy to deliver your message with grace.  Your Cancerian moon gives you heightened sensitivity — you can tune in deep to your friends, your dreams and your visions. This helps temper the impulsive nature of your Gemini twin aspect.

You are likely a great conversationalist, and also an excellent listener. You might appear to be more extroverted than your soul really feels. Although you enjoy a cocktail party, you do like to curl up in your shell now and then. Fair warning to anyone who interrupts that down time. They might be surprised by your quick snap, even though in general you are warm, compassionate and nurturing.  Balance that vulnerable side with your lighthearted wit and you can be the hostess with the mostest.

There’s an extra special element being born close to the Summer Solstice. Allow yourself time to reflect upon the opportunity that the longest day of light offers.

*Mercury retrograde is on right now, so back up your hard drive. Likely you don’t have to worry about travel plans, but if you do, give yourself lots of time and triple check the details.

Disclaimer: As always, planets are really only in one place at one time (unless of course you consider quantum mechanics and parallel universes:), so your sun sign truly is in only either 29 degrees Gemini or 1 degree Cancer. But us cuspies know that we can feel the influence of the other ruling planet. We believe a few days either side of the switch (which BTW shifts every year and depends on where in the world you decided to bust into this planet) feels about right. You get to decide what feels right for you!
