What is a Cusp?
If you are born on a cusp, it means that you're born on days that fall either at the end of one Zodiac Sign or beginning of the next and you’re influenced by both Signs. Some Astrologers don't believe in cusps at all. Others believe that cusps happen during the last day of a Zodiac Sign or the first day of the next. Some Astrologers believe there is a period of about a week when you can be a Zodiac cusp. There are a total of 12 cusps, and the tenth cusp is the Capricorn Aquarius cusp. Each cusp is named after the distinctive energy that it embodies, and the Sagittarius Capricorn Cusp is called The Cusp of Mystery and Imagination.
Your Sun Sign represents the core of your birth chart. If you are on a cusp, you will have the influence of both Signs. This doesn't dilute your Zodiac Sign, but it actually enhances it, complicates it, and deepens it. It gives you your very best and absolute worst traits. One thing to know about your best and worst traits is they're pretty much the same thing. You will get good and bad traits from both Zodiac Signs if you're on a cusp. You have the power to turn the dark side of your traits into something positive and make your worst weaknesses your greatest strengths. Being on a cusp helps give you infinite opportunities to do that! Read more about Zodiac Cusps here: The Sun Signs Cusps and Their Meanings
Capricorn Zodiac Traits
Between the dates of December 22 and January 19 some wonderful people are born. They are Capricorns. They rival Virgos as hard workers, and they bring a shockingly great sense of humor to things. They are skeptical individuals, but they are grudge holders who are unlikely to forgive.
Hard Working
Capricorns are known as ladder climbers. They are always seeking self-improvement, and they don’t just do it for intrinsic growth. They want to move up in their careers and in society in general. They care deeply about how people view them, and their reputation is created carefully by them, and over a long period of time. They have an attitude that it doesn’t matter how long something takes, they will roll up their sleeves and work as hard as they need to for as long as it takes to achieve their goals. No job is too big for them. They love the sense of achievement, and are proud of themselves. They need to learn a good work life balance though because they overwork themselves too often.
Wickedly Funny
Don’t think Capricorns are boring drudges just because they work too hard sometimes. They have a refreshing sense of humor they take with them wherever they go. Theirs is an intellectual sense of humor—because intelligence is very important to them. However, they are ruled by the planet Saturn- which can instill a mindset of doom, gloom, and overall negativity. They find ways to make their negativity funny though. They are kings and queens of insults, and they know all the best ways of laughing about difficulties. This makes things more bearable for everyone, but sometimes, they take it too far. They can be very mean in their humor, and make fun of people just to keep the laughs coming. They never seem to run out of people who are eager to listen and laugh, no matter how negative the topic is though.

Skeptical
This Sign doesn’t just take everyone’s word for things. They are far too responsible for that. They might not let on that they are checking behind you when you tell them something, but know that they are doing it anyhow. Keep in mind they have a lot of responsibility and they didn’t earn that position by being followers. They earned it by showing they were trustworthy, and one way to do that is by having the correct information. They know they have a lot of people’s trust and if they screw up by being gullible about things, they are going to let everybody down.
Unforgiving
If you upset a Capricorn enough they will never forget it- even if they don’t cut you off. Whatever happened will always be in the back of their mind and they will always wonder if you are going to upset them again. Truthfully, most people are this way, but Saturn brings in that dismal mindset and makes Capricorns a little more sensitive about some things sometimes. Even if you did not do anything wrong, a Capricorn can take too much to heart sometimes, and hurt their own feelings. They will still blame you for it, though.

Aquarius Zodiac Traits
From January 20 to February 18, some of the most unique people on earth are born. They are Aquarians. Not only are they unique, but they are also inventive, and high energy. They aren’t perfect, though. They can be extremely detached emotionally.
Unique
Each Aquarius is a unique individual, and nobody else is like them. Some people would call them weird, while others say they are wonderful. They are refreshingly individualistic to the point of being what some experts call idiosyncratic. They live life on their own terms, march to the beat of their own drum, and don't let anyone dictate to them. To be fair, we are all unique individuals, but some Zodiac signs don't have the courage to be completely themselves. Aquarians believe that life is for living and that everybody has the right to completely be themselves. If you're ever afraid to come out about the way you are, ask an Aquarius for help.
Inventive
Not only is each Aquarius refreshingly unique, all of them have refreshingly unique ideas. They are always coming up with new inventions, new programs, or new endeavors to embark on. They are the inventors, the innovators, and the creators of the Zodiac. They're always in front, leading a group of people who love following them because they love pitching in for the wonderful things that Aquarians bring to life. Aquarians have a belief that the world needs them to come up with new things, but the fact is, Aquarians need other people to help them bring their ideas to life. They do invent, but they need a team to help them pull everything off. Read about the Aquarius Zodiac Sign here: Aquarius Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility
Energetic
People born under the Zodiac Sign of Aquarius seem to have unlimited amounts of energy and equal amounts of enthusiasm for whatever it is that they're passionate about. They seem to have their hands in a lot of cookie jars all at once, enjoying lots of different projects at the same time. On the positive side, they are never bored because they're always participating in something wonderful. On the negative side, they may run themselves ragged and frustrate themselves trying to do too much at once. Balance with equal amounts of rest and equal amounts of play is key!
Extremely Detached
You would think that Aquarians were perfect, wouldn't you? They have multiple dark traits, but their darkest trait is their emotional detachment. Because they're so popular for their ability to lead, a lot of people love them. Aquarians can't be best friends with everybody. However, they have an uncanny knack for behaving as if they are everybody's best friend. Maybe it's just their natural enthusiasm! They allow few people close to them in their personal circles. You can know them for ten or twenty years, and they will finally one day reveal that they've never thought of you as a friend. Also, if you're not on board with their latest idea, they will walk on as if you never existed. Read about Aquarius Zodiac Flowers here: What is the Best Aquarius Flower?
Aquarius Capricorn Cusp Traits
From January 16 to January 23 is the illustrious Capricorn Aquarius cusp known as the Cusp of Mystery and Imagination. Capricorn and Aquarius combine to make these people very ambitious, highly idealistic, and they have a great way of balancing the Capricorn and Aquarius traits. It can make them conflicted though.
Ambitious
Both Capricorns and Aquarians are highly ambitious individuals, and combining these two signs makes this cusp twice as ambitious. The enthusiasm of Aquarius combined with the work ethic of Capricorn keeps these people on the go. They believe that the only thing that ever sat itself to success was a hen and laziness is a serious vice. Don't think these people are going to follow you though. You will follow them or get out of their way. They are the dreamers, the goal setters, and the doers. If you want to be on the highest achieving team in town, join a Capricorn Aquarius cusps team.
Idealistic
This cusp doesn't just have goals, they have very strong beliefs. Aquarians are socially aware and have zero tolerance for what they consider to be injustice. They apply just as much energy to righting wrongs as they do to creating their own reality. They want the world to be a beautiful place for everyone, not just themselves. They care deeply about rights, alleviating suffering, and leaving things better than the way they found them. Such people should choose a career carefully.

Balanced
In some ways, this cusp makes for one of the most balanced people on earth. They are filled with amazing ideas, and the desire to bring those to life. Capricorn gives them a hard-core work ethic. It makes them roll up their sleeves and apply themselves to making their dreams reality. Some people dream wistfully about the things they want. This cusp does, but they take it farther. They make their dreams come true! The only problem is when they don’t allow themselves enough rest. Since they can balance being a dreamer with being a worker, they will be able to balance work with rest if they want to.
Conflicted
Aquarians are free spirits who make their own rules- and break those rules as well as every other rule they come into contact with. They are rebels and they love living life on their own terms. Capricorns are rule makers, rule keepers, and people who thrive as being appropriate, and well thought of. They care deeply what people think, and they go out of their way to keep up appearances. The Capricorn rule keeper traits sometimes fight the Aquarius rebel traits. Which side wins out depends entirely on the individual- although it is a split between both sides most of the time! There can be conflicts in relationships too. Find out what to do about relationship difficulties here: Why is My Relationship Difficult?
Capricorn Aquarius Cusp Compatibility
If you think this cusp is the most exciting person ever and you need to be in a personal relationship, hold your horses. Not just anybody can be in a happy relationship with them. Not just anybody can work well with them either. They welcome everyone at first, but that's just while they're getting to know you. You can work alongside them for years and you will just be a face in the crowd to them. It's nothing personal, that's just how they are. They may value your work, but not care about you as an individual, and you need to make sure you don't take that personally. Want to know if someone is the one for you?

The Zodiac Signs that typically work best with this cusp in relationships are Water Signs and Earth Signs. Water Signs like the stability the Capricorn side brings. They are also highly reliable and will stick around. Other Earth Signs understand detaching emotionally. They're still being reliable. Air Signs don't appreciate being ordered around, and they're typically busy with their own work to follow this cusp. Fire Signs are more difficult to herd, and can be unpredictable, so that typically makes this cusp uncomfortable. To be fair, though- there is absolutely NOTHING typical about this cusp. These are unique people through and through, so give it a go and see if love is possible!
Unique, energetic, enterprising are a few things that define the Capricorn Aquarius cusp. These people are always working toward personal projects they have designed and are bringing to life. Most people love them for the energy, uniqueness, and enthusiasm they bring to the world. They welcome anybody to join them on their journeys, but they won’t fall in love with just anybody, no matter how long you know them. You might want to guard your heart unless they say they love you!
