Okay, here’s my blog post about “astrology cusp compatibility,” written from a personal, practical experience perspective:
Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “cusp” thing in astrology. You know, when you’re born like, right on the edge between two signs? I always thought it was kinda BS, but then I started noticing some patterns, so I had to dig in.
My Experiment Started
First, I grabbed my trusty notebook – the one I use for everything – and started jotting down the birthdates of, well, everyone I know. Friends, family, exes (yikes!), even that weird guy from the coffee shop who always remembers my order. I focused on the people born within like, three days of a sign change.
Then, I started mapping out their relationships. Who got along like peanut butter and jelly? Who were the oil and water combos? I marked down any major blow-ups, long-lasting friendships, and passionate romances. I needed the dirt!
The Data
Initially, it was just a big mess of dates and scribbled notes. So, I made a simple chart. One column for the “cusp person,” another for their partner/friend/whatever, and a third for my observations. Like:
- Cusp Person: Leo/Virgo (July 23rd)
- Other Person: Scorpio (Nov 10th)
- Notes: Started great, then EXPLOSION. Lots of passion, zero chill.
I did this for dozens of relationships. Drove me a little crazy, to be honest. Felt like a detective in some cheesy romance novel.
It Begins
After staring at this chart for, like, a week straight, I started seeing… something. It wasn’t super clear-cut, but certain cusp combos seemed to have a higher chance of either total harmony or total disaster. For example, those Aries/Taurus cuspers (around April 19-21) seemed to either really click or really clash with Cancer/Leo folks (around July 22-24). It was like this fiery, stubborn energy meeting a super emotional, dramatic force. Fireworks, baby! Or… a dumpster fire.
Another combo I used to get to was the Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp and the Gemini/Cancer. Seemed to vibe with one another.
No Magic Answers
Now, I’m not saying this is scientific proof of anything. It’s just my observations. I didn’t use any fancy software or, like, consult with a professional astrologer. But it did get me thinking. Maybe there’s more to this cusp thing than I thought. It’s not about being “two signs at once,” but maybe about having this blend of energies that can create some really interesting (and sometimes volatile) dynamics in relationships.
I’m still adding to my chart. It’s a never-ending project, I guess. But it’s been a fun way to explore my own relationships and, you know, maybe understand why that one ex was such a drama queen. (Just kidding… mostly.)
I encourage you to grab a paper or a notebook too, try to play around with the relationships around you. Make a note of them, you’ll be surprised what you find. I know I was!
