Cuspy Critters

For Those on the Cusp of a Zodiac Sign in Astrology

Cusps

Sagittarius / Capricorn Cusp

· ·

There’s something special about being born around the Winter Solstice, regardless of which sign you “truly” are.

It is a time of celebration, renewal, regrowth, an honouring of the darkest hour, the end and the beginning. Also it approaches Santa season, so hopefully it doesn’t mean you get cheeped out on the b-day gifts if it’s your birthday. Who wants a combo gift? 🙂

Capricorn is ruled by the taskmaster Saturn and Sagittarius by the lucky and generous  Jupiter. So at first glance the influence of Saturn may seem to be a burden, but perhaps the 6th planet from the Sun gets a bad rap. After all, Saturn’s field of influence are regeneration, wealth and amplitude. So not just a Cuspy downer:) 

As someone born on the cusp between these two planets, with the additional contrast of the Fire of Sagittarius and the Earth of Capricorn, you are likely exhibiting at least some sparks of joy amidst your workaholic tendencies.  As usual enjoy your cuspy critter status, flaunt it (although in a likely introverted way) and appreciate the tensions instead of fretting about them.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Scorpio Sagittarius Cusp

Nov 18 to 24 | Cusp of Revolution

When an Irresistible Force Such as You….

Scorpio  is a Water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and these days by that planet with changing status, Pluto. Sagittarius is a Fire sign, ruled by lucky Jupiter

How might these signs affect you?

Your Combined Strengths:
Powerful,Passionate, Philosophical
Your Combined Weaknesses:
Secretive, Selfish, Smoldering

But who is to say if being selfish is a weakness? Maybe it’s your most potent tool to wield against a world that is full of OTT confessions.

Or to be Philosophical, while giving you much wisdom and a big picture view of the world, could it be a tad too a lofty position for you to get down to the practical side of life.

The key is to recognize the dualities, embrace what is important at the moment, and let the luck of Jupiter combined with the empathy of a Water sign make you be an irresistible force.

**Still on what may be a never ending quest to determine the status of Pluto as planet. Had seemed to be re-instated and yet some contest this. We vote Planet.

About these dates:  We personally feel that this is quite a wide berth: 18th to 24th, and would lean towards a November 20th to 24th say as the cusp. But, then again, most Astrologers don’t consider cusps to be real. ie: you either are born when the Sun was in Sagittarius or you weren’t. Yet, as cuspy critters ourselves, we definitely enjoy both the pleasure of reading both horoscopes (hey — double the fun!) and can feel the influence of the adjacent sign. We’re at 0 degrees and 30 degrees. So…. a few minutes later (or earlier)…poof, another sign.

Libra / Scorpio Cusp

· ·

October 19th – 25th

It’s quite possible that scientists have re-instated Pluto as a planet, but it’s not 100% clear.

Which is kind of perfect for a cuspy critter like yourself, hovering between the sensual energy given to you by Venus, ruler of Libra, and the psychic energy from Pluto, which has dominion over Scorpio. But wait, Mars also co-rules Scorpio, And if Pluto isn’t really a planet, perhaps the feisty bossy energy of Mars has more influence.

Time will tell.

With this delightful mix of energy, you are a very lucky cuspy critter indeed – beautiful, sharp witted and emotionally tuned in.

Work it baby.

Virgo / Libra Cusp

· ·

September 19th – 25th

Virgo is ruled by Mercury and Libra by Venus. Virgo is an earth sign, and Libra an air sign — your ethereal nature is balanced out by having your feet on the ground.

So are you a beautiful communicator? A lovely taskmaster? Or a brilliant, compassionate and warm soul with a brisk and efficient streak that keeps you from being swindled?

You get to decide. You lucky beauty.

Leo/Virgo Cusp

· ·

August 19th – 25th

Personally we think that’s a little generous, preferring to say August 20th to 24th, but hey maybe that’s because we’re persnickety cuspy critters ourselves.

Leos are bold. Loud and Proud. Roaring Like Lions.
Virgos are good with spreadsheets. A lot more modest.

So you have a curious mix that may pull you in opposite directions.

You’re ready to roar, and yet quite thoughtful about it, if someone else is in the room, they won’t be burnt to a crisp.
