The life of abundance

In astrology there are individuals known as cuspians. These individuals happen to to have a planet in close proximity to the succeeding planet mathematically. For example: There is an individual born on May 21st . This person will be ruled by two planets (venus and mercury in this instance). This person is a Taurini (Taurus and Gemini mix) born in the “cusp of energy”.


Now many astrologers say that the idea of cusps is incorrect and not possible. But as a true cuspian myself , and a KNOWER that there are small areas of black and white and a HUGE area of gray in most all aspects of existence, that this simply is untrue. Also being a cuspian myself I can testify to this.

So this dynamic tends to create a blend of traits from two different signs

I like this wheel that I found because it displays the “gray areas” I was talking about. The cusps are usually 2-3 days before and after the sun passes through a new sign.

Now I will take myself as an example.

I was born in the cusp of prophecy or the 5 day period of December 19-December 24th. I refer to myself as a Caprittarius. ( I was born on the first day of Capricorn, 30 degrees in Sagittarius )

There are not many descriptions floating around about cuspians/cuspers but I’ve come across a few. Here is one that describes my cusp :
“Those born on the Cusp of Prophecy do not expect to be liked by other people, although it often happens that they are. Being independent of the approval of others gives Sagittarius-Capricorns a power and freedom that many lack. On the other side of the coin, they may themselves like few of the people they meet, and may thus be seen as antisocial. There is generally speaking only one requirement for being a close friend to a Sagittarius-Capricorn, besides the fact that you like them: you must accept them without reservation for what they really are. Those born on this cusp have their antennae out to detect when others are flattering them or simply being polite, which doesn’t cut the cake. Consequently, only a few individuals manage to get close to most Sagittarius-Capricorns.”

So I’m ruled by Jupiter, which is a planet of freedom,expansion and also Saturn which is a planet of restrictions,responsibility. Kind of a paradox. Natally my planet Jupiter is actually in Sagittarius so it is exalted.

Are you a cuspian? How does it effect you. Do you find that you are dual-ruled so to speak?
