This provides important context to understanding your sun sign. Instead of trying to discern whether you’re on the cusp, check out the degree the sun is placed in in your chart. Rather than looking at the day you were born, look at degrees
The blend of concurrent signs in personal planets often gives the impression of cusps,” McBride said. This might result in someone who acts like their sun sign Leo, but thinks like a Virgo. Let’s say you are a Leo, your Mercury sign might be in Virgo (the sign after). This is due to the placement of personal planets such a Mercury and Venus, both of which travel no more than 1-2 signs before or after the Sun. “The majority of people are highly influenced by the sun sign just before, or just after theirs. Astrology Lauren McBride explains the influence also comes from other planets transiting signs.
