your sun sign is cancer for sure, but your moon sign might be Leo. That's about it. I can't remeber what the exact dates are. but I wouldn't worry to much. It just means people see you as a leo before they see the cancer side.
the darkness protects what little is left to see by the light of the day.

There is no such thing as 'cusp' in astrology. The problem is most people don't know what time they were born --- which is crucial in astrological terms. You need to understand there is far far more to astrology than just 'sun sign's there are 10planets and 12houses in a natal chart and you sun could be in any one of those 12houses --- so there's 144 combinations there for starters.Tariy wrote:I was born on July 21st, so I was wondering why I am listed as a cancer on here when this thread says Leo also. However I have to disagree that people born on cusps are seen as one sign before the other. During diffrent cycles one sign is more dominate but it changes with each cycle.
What are you refering to " during different cycles one sign is more dominate than another"
If you were born at the beginning or end of a sun sign, you may have your mercury or venus in the sign before or after which will modify your sun's expressions

You need to understand there is far far more to astrology than just ‘sun signs’ firstly there are 10planets in the sky and 12houses and any one of these 10planets can be in any one of these 12 houses – so there’s 144 possible combinations there –
What is vitally important is your ‘time of birth’ and nearest town and then go to free website like astro.com to calculate your natal chart, you may have to reduce the image in Extended chart selection to 63% save to your hard drive, then upload here.
Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.
So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....
Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy...
Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.
