Understanding the Cusp
This word ‘Cusp’ denotes the first few days or last few days of a sun sign. When people says they are ‘on the cusp’ it means they were born either during the first few days or within the last few days of a sun sign. For example, someone born on 19 March, would be on the cusp of Pieces and Aries. As a result, they are a mixture of the characteristics of both signs. So, whereas, Pisceans might normally be shy, withdrawn, reticent and unsure of themselves, being born here ads the Arien influence of energy, courage and greater confidence to their nature.
