Persons born "on the line" between two Zodiac
Signs partake of qualities found in both Signs or, more strictly speaking, have
a blend of traits that may compose an individual nature. Due to variations in
astrological calendars, this may became apparent during the last few days of a
departing Sign, but the "cusp" (as it is termed) pertains chiefly to
the first week of the incoming Sign.
While the new Sign is gaining its ascendancy, the influences
of the old will persist but gradually loses its hold day-by-day until, by the
seventh day; the new Sign is in complete control.
Here are two cusps associated to Libra are:
- Virgo Libra Cusp for individual born approximately from September 21 to September 29
- Libra Scorpio Cusp for individuals born approximately from October 21 to October 29
Brief qualities of Libra Cusp:
Virgo – Libra Cusp September 21 to September 29
Individuals born on the cusp of Virgo and Libra are ruled by
both Mercury and Venus. They have a shrewd and analytical nature coupled with
sharp perception. In general, it is a fine combination which provides the Libra
side of this character the elements most needed.
However, these individuals need to guard against the
inherent faults which come with Mercury if they would avoid injury to the
softer and more understanding qualities associated with Venus.
Here, the Libra sense of judgment is coupled with a quick
talent to size up a situation and back a decision with sound logic. Any
trivialities should be avoided as minor issues are prone to worry these
cuspians...particularly regarding what others might think or do.
Nonetheless, the logic associated with this cusp will enable
its subjects to modify judgment in light of later facts.
Libra – Scorpio Cusp October 21 to October 29
Individuals born on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio are ruled
by both Venus and Pluto. Here, the fair judgment of Libra adds intuition to the
cool, precise skill of Scorpio. The end result is something quite
remarkable...if care is taken in development. Coupled with the inherent Libra
craving for excitement is the bold and pleasure-seeking Scorpio mind, which is
strong in self-control and determination, standing ready to carry into action
whatever seems worthwhile.
However, the ability to turn ideas into accomplishments often
produces a marked egotism among these cuspians, which is all the more reason
why they should seek higher goals in culture, education and social life.
Whatever is achieved by these individuals, they will cling
to with much tenacity and they can easily drift into narrow-mindedness and
unscrupulous behavior if not careful. These are souls who are easily flattered,
particularly by popular acclaim, and flare into anger toward those who oppose
their schemes.
