What is a Cusp?

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 last cusp is the Pisces Aries cusp. Each cusp is named after the distinctive energy that it embodies, and the Pisces Aries cusp is called the Cusp of Rebirth.

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

Pisces Zodiac Traits

Between February 19 and March 20, very helpful people are born. They are Pisces. They are highly flexible individuals, and their psychic gifts of empathy are especially powerful. They can be very helpful, but that won’t save them from themselves when they decide to be self-destructive.

Flexible

Pisces is a mutable Zodiac Sign. This means that they are adaptable and flexible. This doesn't mean that their personality changes, it just means that they can go with the flow. A lot of people love to be around Pisces because of this. It helps them to get along with pretty much everyone. It also helps them to hide their own feelings to keep the peace. This helps them not only in their personal lives but in business. Some Zodiac Signs struggle because they feel that their personal tendencies get snuffed out on the job. Pisces is one of the signs that has an easier time setting personal traits aside and doing what needs to be done to get the job done.

Empathic

Almost every Pisces who was ever born has the powerful ability of empathy. Being an empath means you can literally feel other people's feelings. This can be good and bad. It helps Pisces people to communicate better but it also hurts them because they have to constantly emotionally shield themselves from others so that they don't absorb other people's feelings. This can be emotionally exhausting if you don't learn proper shielding as a Pisces. On the other hand, it helps Pisces people to be teachers, mentors, and counselors.

Helpful

Pisces people love to help other people. Being natural empaths and being adaptable means that they are almost always on board to make a difference. They love to make people happy, they love to fix problems, and they love to improve difficult situations. This is one reason why most people love to have a Pisces around. Things just seem to flow more smoothly when a Pisces is around because they know how to cooperate and they know how to make other people want to cooperate. They are highly harmonious and they love to make a difference.

Self-Destructive

Self-Destructive

You would think that Pisces people are perfect, learning all these great things about them. They can be highly self-destructive unfortunately. Emotionally, they become exhausted very easily because they're always trying to help. They don't always know how to step back and guard their feelings. They will feel run ragged, stripped bare, and downright drained of all of the good energy that they share with other people. The most enlightened Pisces people will pull back and self-isolate until their emotional batteries are recharged. Less enlightened Pisces people will engage in self-destructive behavior like picking fights when they're upset, or succumbing to substance abuse to self-medicate.

Aries Zodiac Traits

The dates for Aries are from March 21st to April 19th. Their best traits is that they are energetic, natural born leaders, and they have a high level of emotional sensitivity. On the downside, they can be highly impulsive.

Energetic

Fire Signs are known for being high energy. It seems like they never run out of gas, especially as children. They will run circles around their parents and all of the other kids around them. Getting them to sit still for two minutes might seem impossible, but they will be some of the fittest children in their group. They seem to have a tireless energy for getting up, getting active, and getting things done. This earns them the admiration of some people and the jealousy of others. One thing is for sure, If an Aries is enthusiastic about something, they will never seem to get tired.

Natural Born Leaders

Aries has a take charge attitude and they have the confidence to go with it. They seem to just naturally know the best way to get things done, the best ways to manage people, and the best ways to organize things. There's a secret, though. They don't like being told what to do. That helps to motivate them to be in a leadership position. They don't necessarily need to be everyone's boss. They do need to have a high level of autonomy and they need and deserve the respect for their expertise. They are great at getting new things off the ground, motivating people to help them, and keeping things moving. Read about the Aries Zodiac Sign here: Aries Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility

Sensitive

One thing a lot of people don't understand about people born in the Aries Zodiac Sign is they have a high level of emotional sensitivity. They feel things very deeply. They love passionately and they feel distaste just as passionately. They might come across as some of the strongest people who you meet, but they have very delicate feelings. There's no reason to push their buttons, try to manipulate them, or deliberately try to hurt them. It is easy to emotionally cut an Aries to the core. If they love you, they make sure you know it. If they dislike you, they make sure you know that too. They're not just sensitive to their own feelings, though, they care deeply about others.

Impulsive

Remember that we said Aries people are high energy and sensitive. Well, that can make them impulsive sometimes. They can make decisions without thinking things through, and they're not afraid of things like some other Signs are. If they get excited about something, they will leap before looking. That includes leaping into a relationship with someone they really don't know, quitting a job because they're mad as hell, or blowing money on an impulse buy because it excites them. Aries people believe that to be alive is to be happy and experience things on their terms. Some people say it gets them in trouble sometimes, but they say they're just doing what they want. If you’re feeling impulsive, watch out! They may snap! Read about dark Aries Zodiac traits here: The Dark Side of The Aries Zodiac Sign

Pisces Aries Cusp Traits

Between March 17 and 23, those born on the Cusp of Renewal are gifted to us. They are truly amazing people who know how to push boundaries and love to help others. They are compassionate leaders, but they are not perfect. Sometimes, they are all gung-ho about things and forget to take precautions.

Boundary Pushers

If you want someone to take charge and get things done, a Pisces Aries cusp is the person to ask. They are not afraid of the forbidden and they will push every boundary they feel like. If somebody tells them something can't be done, they'll tell you to watch and they'll show you how. They can take it too far trying to live a limitless life, but they understand nothing ever got done by being afraid to try. Some boundaries are meant to be respected and some are meant to be broken!

Compassionate Leaders

They also realize that a job or project will never be as important as human beings. They act like they care, because they do.

Gung-Ho

Aries gives this cusp a powerful drive to act- like yesterday- whenever you decide you want to do something. On one hand, you will never be one of those people who regret not doing things you want. On the other hand, it makes you prone to leaping before you look. You believe nothing gets accomplished if we are too scared to try. Just learn to plan before embarking on every new endeavor. Then again, some things need to be acted on NOW- and you will never be someone who such an opportunity escapes! This is a pretty fearless cusp, but even if you are not fearless you can face any fear!

Although Aries people can be emotionally overwhelming to some people, having Pisces thrown into the mix for this cusp will help them to know how to balance their more brash side with their softer side. The question is, are you soft enough and also strong enough for them? The Zodiac cusp will need someone who is high energy to be a life partner, although they won't mind taking the lead.

Although Earth Signs Virgo and Capricorn combine well with Pisces, they don't do well with Aries. Capricorn and Virgo tend to want to be the boss, and no one is in charge of anyone who has Aries in their Sun Sign. Air Signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius do famously well with this cusp. Air and Fire is a natural combination and Libras especially love the sensitivity of Pisces. Other Fire Signs Leo and Sagittarius do well with his cusp as long as they balance their sensitive side for the Pisces side. Last but not least, Water Signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces can have quite a bit of success as long as the Aries side of this cusp thinks before they speak and lets the Pisces side balance sensitivity with enthusiasm.

People on the Cusp of Renewal renew themselves with the gentleness and sensitivity of Pisces, and the openness to new things that Aries brings to the table. They are natural born leaders, and love to help, so they become some of the most sought after leaders in the Zodiac. Although everybody loves them, they need someone who balances tenderness with enthusiasm and a sense of adventure to be a life partner with them.
