hi there,

I was looking for fellow cusps here to start a discussion on the topic.

Im jan 20 1983 and I'm only born about two hours into aquarius.

my question for the fellows that read this is whether or not they identify with the other sign more? do you feel that you are an even blend of both signs?

I ask this because growing up, I showed alot of aqua tendencies but i really identified with cap and now that i am an adult, i feel much more comfortable in being an aqua and view the concept of a capricorn as very restricting.

any thoughts?

I'm a "cusper", too, but on the opposite end of Aquarius, straddling Aquarius & Pisces. I've always felt influences from both signs, but felt more Aquarian during my earlier years & leaning more toward Pisces as I've gotten older (I'm 64 now). We are also influenced by our "Progressed Charts", as well.
What I find unusual is that almost my entire natal chart is filled with cusp placements. My ascendant is 00'03" Virgo. All my houses are on the cusp, within 1 degree or less. 8 of the 10 planets, and ALL of the asteroids in my chart are also within less than 2 degrees of being on the cusp. I often feel what my mother used to call "multiphrenic" (as opposed to schizophrenic). I feel I am many people all rolled into one. Fortunately, over the years - with time, expeience & maturity, I've managed to keep all of "us" well integrated.
I'd be very interested in hearing from others who have lots of cusp placements in their natal charts.
BTW, I started studying astrology at 15 (to debunk it, & became a believer), & have been a professional astrologer since age 27 (I'm 64). For the last 31 years (since age 33), I've specialized in esoteric astrology only.
Thanks.

Aquarius/Pisces Cusp myself.

My Daughters are a Scorp/Sag, Sag/Capri. I find that this is interesting as they share alot in common. One minute they cannot stand eachother, the next they are inseperable. Wierd.

Although I am a cusp, I fight any resemblence to being an Aquarius! I remember that one time Youdah wrote about our true sign by our birth hour and how one can show more of the sign they are leaving than entering. Something along those lines. Wish he were here to correct me...sigh....anywho. I too was born only 2 and a half hours into my sign. I barely made it. ha!

More Pisces emotionaly, but I do share alot of Aquarius traits. So am I a mix mutt in Astro sense?

I still wrestle with being called an Aquarius. Even changing my birthdate for this forum since the "bug" they had wished to label me as such! Nope I am Pisces, Sun and Moon. I was born on the 19th of Febuary BTW.

The one thing I learned from Youdah was not to stereotype. In this I still wrestle. I see that you struggle with the Capricorn in you, just like I do with the aqua. But I love my funny little capri, and my soon to be mother in law capri. Everything I read about this sun sign leaves me a bit dishearted. I think that they are more emotional than they let on, and a whole lot of fun to be around. All the Capricorns I've been blessed to know anyways.

And that is my rant for the day.

Safe Journey

To Kerouac and Crow:
Since we cycle through all of the signs eventually, often more than once, we are truly a mixture. But I agree that for "cuspers" the sign you are leaving is significant. It indicates the lessons you are finishing up. If you are uncomfortable with the sign you are leaving, that indicates that you still need to work on the lessons of that sign.
For Kerouac, the fact that you identified more with Cap when you were young, and now feel more comfortable with Aqua means you have probably completed those lessons from Capricorn, and have made a smooth transition into Aquarius.
For Crow, having your moon (emotions) in Pisces, as well as your sun will definitely make you feel a stronger pull to your Pisces side. However, you may still have some lessons to learn from Aquarius, in order to release it. The opposite of love is not hate or dislike, it's apathy. When you've completed your Aqua lessons, you will feel nothing toward that sign, one way or the other. Your attraction to Capricorn would depend a lot on your overall chart. Is either of your Moon Nodes in Capricorn?
It's interesting that both your daughters are not only also cuspers, but one is leaving Sagittarius and the other entering it. Is their father Sag, or is there another Sag family member with a strong influence in their lives?
I had a friend/student years ago with twin daughters, not surprisingly born under the sign Gemini, but 4 minutes apart and with different rising signs. One had the end of Sag as her ascendant, the other the beginning of Cap as hers. The one with the Sag asc. was tall, slender and athletic. The other with the Cap asc. was shorter, stocky, quieter and a "homebody". Like your daughters, they either got along very well or not at all.
One reason I got into esoteric astrology (karmic patterns and lessons, past and future lives, etc.) is because people kept asking me when I did their natal charts if theirs was a "good" sign or a "bad" one. There are no "good" or "bad" signs. They're ALL GOOD! And they all have positive and negative aspects, because we are all made up of positive and negative, light and darkness. The key is to find the balance between the two, and we need to understand our entire charts to do that, not just our Sun signs.
Cusps and their influences are really a fascinating topic, though, aren't they?

Zaquyah,

Thank you for an interesting responce. To answer your question. No their father is not a Sag. But I do have the youngest who they both cuddle with who is a Sag Male. It is interesting that three out of my four children are SAG in a cusp or Sun sign. I still have to do my eldest son's chart to see if he has any Sagiatius.

I am an Asc Sagitarius myself. Perhaps that is what you are picking up. Capricorn is in my 2nd house.

How do you figure out your moon node? This I am going to further research today.

Is it our Ascendant (North Node) and Descendant (South Node)? Sagitarius/Gemini would be mine.

Is that what a moon node is? Not sure. I was just curious to know.

Sounds like I need to learn some more Aquarius since I have some issues with accepting this sign in my chart. Although every Aquarian that I have come across I have gotten along with...for the most part. What is the real kicker is that my best friend is a Virgo, the opposite of Pisces.

That is why I know it isn't the best to go just by sun signs alone. Again thank you for your time. And I look forward to your responce.

Safe Journey,
