Cusp (astrology)

Encyclopedia : C : CU : CUS : Cusp (astrology)

In astrology, a cusp or cusp line is the imaginary line that separates a sign in the zodiac or a house in the horoscope.

For example, if an individual was born when the Sun was located at 29 degrees, 50 minutes Gemini then he might say that he was born on the cusp of Cancer. The reason for this is because there are no lines in the sky and it is therefore the exact point where Gemini ends and Cancer begins can at times be a bit fuzzy. Heavenly bodies located on the cusp of a sign, therefore, are said to possess the attributes of both the sign it is leaving and the sign it is entering.
