🌟Astrology Notes: Zodiac Cusps🌟
What are cusps? Are they legit, or is it just another way to make ourselves feel more special because we have " two Sun Signs"?
I decided to make this post because, personally, as a person who has a decent Astrology knowledge, I do believe in cusps and I use them.
In Astrology, when we refer to a cusp, it means that it is a transition between two zodiac signs. Cusps are not only present in the Sun Signs, but in every planet sign, your ascendant, as well as in the Houses.
But it is safe to assume that the Sun Sign cusp is the most popular and probably the most powerful one.
It is so well-known that, actually, these cusps have their own name and attributes.
Somehow, many Astrologers do not believe in them, and there is a big controversy between those who use them and those who don't.
If we take this rationally, yes, indeed, it is basically impossible to have two zodiac signs, no matter the planet, or two ascendants; however, we always forget that Astrology is not only mathematical, but also it works with energies.
Everything that surrounds us generates energy, and transitions are no exception. Thus, having some characteristics from the next transitioning zodiac sign is truly possible.
Even in your ascendant sign, if your degree on your birth chart is very close to another sign, you might get some of the attributes of that sign too.
I had a friend who was a Leo rising at 5 degrees, so quite close to the Cancer rising as well, and she had some Cancerian traits as well.
