yep.
Harumph.
yep. I'm dating someone who should be Sag/Cap - well, he's all Sag, my daughter should be Gem/Cancer, well she's all Cancer, my other daughter should be Leo/Virgo - well, she's so Leo she should be illegal...
just sayin'...
I think the asc makes a bigger difference than cusp.

yep.


Well forget you. I'm a Saggie-Cappie and there's only 2 things you can do:
1. Know it
2. Deal with it
ok bye
Yup yup. Cusps are usually highly attracted to other cuspies too.
At first I could identify with both aqua and cap, being a capaqua cusper...but with time...I've come to realise that as much as I love my aqua peepz, i am more of a cap than anything else...so i consider myself a whole cap. lol
Sag on the Scorpio cusp here. Definitely a lot of Scorpio traits. I am intense, possessive, and often suspicious. I can spot a fake a mile away. But as a Sag, I am restless, full of humour, easygoing and extremely loyal. But with Cap moon and venus, I sometimes come across to people who don't know me as cold, unemotional, detached or "stuck-up". So quite confusing I seem..Pisces and Cancer women often are unsure about me until they know me..lol
*raising fist high* Cusps, cusps, cusps CUSPS CUSPS!
i dunno if it's entirely bullshit but i've had like 3 people tell me that i don't qualify as a legitimate aries cuz i'm born on the cusp. that hurt me lol
so....not really a fan of the cusp theory lol
and plus i haven't been able to find a single article on this shit that applied to me.

There are more influences than our sun signs so being cusp does mean something but there are other influences as well, of course. Specifically to cuspians, if you check other boards that mention it, is the pull of both signs equally and if there are extremes of both signs this can demand a lot of us. Being on cusp of cancer and leo sun signs can lead to confusion in trying to make decisions. I am strongly influenced by water and moon so emotions can try to overrule logic. On the other hand, feeling like you are trying to please two personalities keeps life interesting.

Exactly. Im 9/22 and i walways feel like i have 2 sides and it can be very conflicting at times.
wait til Biggus Dickus hears about this
^ LOL
i wouldn't dare get technical or prove with any kind of evidence one part of an entire study that is itself questionable.
when thinking of good science, astrology isn't scientific. personally, i view astrology like any other belief... hard to prove.
i go off my own experience, personal or with others.
i'm 0.00 degrees capricorn. i'm on the cap/sag cusp where the two signs kiss. in that kiss... my character has been a little stunned with the flirtatious, social and worldly energies of sagittarius.
hrmmm...
very well then smile

those are all strong points you make there, i cannot and will not discount all of that. i will just say it ADDS to the energies of my cusp. Tongue
pretty cool though, that's a nice reading ...or lesson. thanks smile
what sites, books, or authors/astrologers debunk the cusps... are there any in particular that you recall?
like i said before... it's all hard to prove. and people rarely do any real studies on astrology unfortunately. take any idea or theory and you'll always find evidence to support it
as the great Sherlock Holmes once said!...
"it's a huge mistake to theorize before one has data. inevitably one begins to twist facts to suit theories, rather than theories to suit facts." I am but one scenario.

and thusly, at this point i will just say...
you say poh-tay-toe, i say poh-tah-toh
kisses smile
ok... you have far too many nicknames for me while i have none for you lol yet!
and no need to dare, though i'll always take bribes Tongue

thats amazeballz, spudmaster Tongue... sounds like me. more so my merc conjunct venus than sun and neptune... though that's definitely me as well.
food for thought... how are we to know what is influencing the characteristics more... the cusp or the houses and aspects? i can see both.
i'll admit, I've never delved too much into my entire chart. this is really enlightening, i cant thank you enough. im guessing to get more info... i'd have to go somewhere for a full chart reading, hey? this is awefully tempting.
by easy, do you mean... not strained or challenged? for heaven's sakes... if my making is easy, i'd hate to know what tough is like. lol
mmm potatoes are delish smile
