mars – Cuspy Critters

April 17 – 23rd. Aries / Taurus Cusp. Spring Champion Meets Earthy Hedonist.
Happy Birthday Cuspy Critter!

Embrace your powerful manifesting energy, and let that fire vibe be grounded with the earth’s more tactile energy. Appreciate the depth of all the finer things in life.

Aries is ruled by Mars and Taurus by Venus.

Venus is named after the Goddess of Love baby — and all those delicious implications, but she was also the goddess of Victory. Which makes for an interesting meeting of minds with the Mars the God of War. There might be less contrast between these signs (as opposed to other #cuspsigns), bringing some synergy — you benefit from a soldier’s strength mixed with an earthy compassion that keeps your heart open.

We’ve heard it said that Taureans are stubborn. Aries adds a touch of speed to this trait, meaning if you want something done, it happens. Your significant other may go out in the morning running errands at 10am, and come back at 3pm, only to discover you have innocently re-designed the entire living room, including painting all the walls, moving furniture around, and putting grandma’s antique rocking chair in “storage”.
Even though only the night before a discussion (ok maybe a mild fight:) ensued around the idea that wouldn’t it be a good idea to start off by going to look at some paint chips first …. .

Aries embodies the playful joy and unbridled energy of Spring. You have great initiative, and yet aren’t always so keen on finishing up all the details. But combined with the headstrong vibe of the Bull Taurus, you have some powerful get shite done mojo. Just make sure you pull up that Venus love card with some forgive me flowers when you ram-road too many things into existence all at once

Disclaimer: Don’t forget, your sun sign really is in only either say 29 degrees Aries or 1 degrees Taurus. You get to choose what’s true for you.

March 17th – March 23rd

Powerful Warrior Meets Dreamy Psychic.

Happy B-Day Pisces / Aries Cuspy Critters!

Pisces is ruled by Neptune and Jupiter, Aries by Mars

Neptune was named after the Roman God of the Sea — that deep blue space of empathy, psychic powers and mysterious imagination.
Jupiter — a bit like that lucky old sun, as the song goes, rolls around heaven all day. Expansion and prosperity are its commonly touted properties.
In itself there is already a duality on the go. Place Mars, the infamous warrior into the mix…
The God of War is all about action, energy and desire. I like to think of this as a tempestuous, stubborn and sexy force.
Also, in Roman mythology Mars was the son of Jupiter.
Is there is a familiar story playing out — being a rebellious child of such an illustrious Dad, wanting to carve out your own turf?

So what do you get when you are born on the cusp of Spring?

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and Aries is the first. You wave a slightly tearful ta ta to Winter and beckon Spring with gusto.

You’ve got big deep blue sea dreams — don’t forget that the oceans covers 71% of the Earth’s surface. That’s a lot of space to dream. You’ve got the brash forward rushing energy of Aries, tempered by that deep blue sea vision and sensitivity.

All in all we think it makes for a rather thoughtful leader, but not so sensitive they are a pushover. “

Your Pisces side lets you pull back a bit on that warrior impulse and your Aries side lets you stand up to that rude bully who tries to cut in front of you in the lineup. You will say it with grace though, and so they’ll likely fall sheepishly back in line, rather than want to pick a fight with you:) One caveat to this dance of opposites – Pisces is a water sign and Aries a Fire sign, be sure to channel the energy of both of them, without cancelling each other out.

Universal 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 say 29 degrees Pisces or 1 degrees Aries. You get to choose what’s true for you.
