* The Leo-to-Virgo Cusp-Born Person August 18 through August 23

by Rebecca Brents

Modesty is also a virtue

The blend of traits for people born in the transition between Leo and Virgo puts together an interesting and contradictory mix.

The foundation of Leo's bravado and grandstanding style moving into Virgo's much more modest and self-effacing presentation, creates someone who starts out full of bluster and self-promotion -- and then pulls back sharply at the first sign that his audience doesn't absolutely adore him.

Like an exuberant child suddenly reminded of his manners (and the fact that such showing-off isn't always appropriate), the Leo-to-Virgo personality launches himself and his creative ideas with the lion clan's typical zest and then pulls up short as if astonished to find himself the center of so much attention.

Born on the Cusp in Astrology -- The Technical Explanation ---> A cusp, in architecture, physiology, dentistry ... and astrology, is a point where two things touch, intersect, or fit together -- one against the other. In astrology the point of the "cusp" is more abstract ... referring to the place in the continuum of the Zodiac or in a paper chart where a change occurs between one sign and the next or one house and the next.

Were You Born on the Cusp? -- Examples all around the Zodiac ---> The self-sacrificing, mystical, artistic, and usually peace-loving Pisces-to-Aries person will sometimes be surprisingly temperamental, impatient, aggressive, and daring, with an unmistakable warrior energy camouflaged, as a rule, by the normally passive, spiritual qualities of her Pisces sign.

What Does It Mean to be 'Born on the Cusp?' ---> Being "born on the cusp" to most people means a birthday (usually their own) falls on or about the 21st of the month. This is approximately the day the Sun changes from one sign to another in the Zodiac, although calendars and other human structures being what they are, even that causes confusion. Sometimes the date is the 19th; sometimes the 23rd. People don't understand the discrepancies and may wonder for years which sign they actually are.

Born with the Sun in Leo -- The Leo Character ---> The Zodiac's Constant Kid -- A Leo soul is a true showman, celestial royalty, the undeniable star of the Zodiac. He can be a delightful mix of youthful exuberance, playfulness, enthusiasm and joy ... like a real-life Peter Pan, the kid who refuses to grow up.

Born with the Sun in Virgo -- The Virgo Character ---> Virgo's symbol is the young woman ... the virgin. -- Virgos devote themselves to work. -- I will try to keep this brief. I know how Virgos like efficiency. Work and service are their passions. They'll find it -- or at least what they define as it -- even if they have to make it up. A Virgo in his heart of hearts wants to be useful. Virgos can be the most selfless, dedicated, indefatigable workers in the world.

Leo Sun Sparkles -- Tiny Thoughts and Trifles -- About the Leo Sun ---> 1 -- It's not conceited if it's true ... -- Traditional Astrology -- and some unsympathetic writers -- describe Leos as conceited. It's true Leos are intensely self-aware people, and honest enough to let it show. Leos figure if you're going to try to conceal something, it should be a serious failing, a notable weakness ... something you might legitimately be ashamed of.
