While it’s natural to take on traits from another sign if you’re born on the cusp of two, you’re either one or the other. If you were born on the day the sun was meant to enter a new astrological season, it could be worth consulting an astro to determine where you truly fall.

Parental influence
“It’s possible that someone isn’t connected to their zodiac sign because they were raised by strong personalities from other signs, which effectively prevents that person from integrating his or her sun personality to the self,” Dr. Williams explains. “A Pisces child, for example, is reared by Virgo and Sagittarius parents. Self-misalignment and misunderstanding may result from this parenting mix.”
Is it possible to be born without a sign in your horoscope?
I’m sure you can’t seem to get along with at least one zodiac sign, no matter how hard you try. You might even be guilty of believing the misconceptions about that sign, promising your pals that you’d never date a Scorpio (or any other sign) again. While there are certain signs with whom you will always connect and others with which you will not, did you know that all 12 zodiac signs, including those that irritate you, are represented in your birth chart? Everyone’s birth chart has every sign, element, and modality known to man, implying that you share their characteristics in some way.
A birth chart is made up of 12 astrological houses, and while there are a variety of systems for dividing the houses up, your birth chart will always include all of the signs, just as it will always include all of the houses. Though it may come as a shock, this suggests you have at least one sign in your astrological makeup with whom you always butt heads. Understanding how this sign interacts with the Big Three (sun, moon, and rising sign) will help you make sense of your entire horoscope.
Is it possible to have two zodiac signs?
There is just one solution, regardless of your birth date: no one has two signs. However, if you were born within a few days of the Sun’s transition from one zodiac sign to the next, you were born on the cusp, and you may experience the effects of two separate signs.
What are the zodiac cusps?
In general, if you were born three days before or after the change in signs, you are “on the cusp.” Each cusp phase is given a name that represents the unique energy that it bears.
- April 16 – 22 is the Cusp of Power.
- May 17th – 23rd is the Cusp of Energy.
- Cusp of Magic takes place from June 17 to June 23.
- Oscillation’s Cusp: July 19-July 25
- The Edge of Exposure is August 19th to August 25th.
- September 19th – 25th is the Cusp of Beauty.
- The Dramatic Edge: October 19 – 25
- From November 18 to 24, the United States is on the verge of revolution.
- December 18th – 24th is the Cusp of Prophecy.
- 16th – 23rd of January: Cusp of Mystery
- The Cusp of Sensitivity is from February 15th to February 21st.
- March 17th – 23rd is the time when the world is on the verge of rebirth.
How does being on the cusp affect you?
If you were born on the cusp, you may find that you have personality qualities from the sign next to you. People born under the sign of Aries but on the cusp of Aries and Taurus, for example, are frequently exceptional leaders. Normally, Aries impatience can lead to hasty decisions and reactions, but if you’re an Aries born on the cusp of Taurus, these tendencies may be mitigated by Taurean energy, which is more grounded and rational. This isn’t to say that being a cusper is always sunshine and rainbows; your two signs’ energies may clash!
In any case, being born on the cusp can endow you with a wide range of talents that can blend and shine in a variety of ways. Learning about the benefits and drawbacks of your cusp might help you accept your unique and sometimes confusing personality!

Can you have two zodiac signs?
No, not at all. People born on the zodiac cusp are unique individuals whose date of birth combines the energy and attributes of two distinct signs together, forming a separate astrological personality with blended qualities, rather than formally being born under two signs.
What if I don’t have anything in the seventh house?
Is it possible that you’re missing a planet? Is this a sign that you’re lacking a key component of your personality? Though empty houses in astrology can be perplexing, there is no such thing as a planet that has gone missing.
“It’s hard not to have a planet in your chart,” says Ambi Kavanagh, founder of Soulstrology and astrologer. “A planet is in one portion of the zodiac at any given moment. For example, during the week of March 19, Saturn was at zero degrees Aquarius and at the extreme end of Capricorn. So he was either 29 degrees Capricorn or 0 degrees Aquarius, but not’missing.'”
There are 12 residences in total, each representing a distinct aspect of life. The seventh house, for example, represents your committed partnerships, and the tone of your partnerships is determined by the placement of a planet in the seventh house. Mercury, for example, is in my seventh house and is a planet associated with communication and intelligence. That implies I’m drawn to people who are intelligent, smooth-talking, and expressive, and I need to mate with someone who is intellectually equal to me.
“If a planet is in a house, the features and themes of that planet are incorporated into the life regions of that house.” You just don’t have the energy of a specific planet infused if you don’t.” Astrologer Ambi Kavanagh
Let’s pretend your seventh house is a blank slate. Don’t be concerned; instead, take comfort in the fact that having an empty house is common, and it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doomed in a certain area of life. “It’s something people are afraid of, but they shouldn’t be,” adds Kavanagh. If a planet is in a house, the features and themes of that planet are absorbed into the life regions of that house. If you don’t, it simply implies that the energy of a given planet hasn’t been incorporated into a particular living region. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility of ‘action’ in regard to the life themes ruled by that house.”
Is there any truth to the zodiac signs?
Is astrology accurate? Reading horoscopes is a popular pastime, but is there any scientific evidence that they are accurate?
When you’re enticed by a familiar interruption and your willpower weakens, problems can occur.
Every day, up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes. At least, that’s what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. According to a Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life poll conducted twenty years ago, 25% of Americans believe that the positions of the stars and planets have an impact on our daily life. In 2012, the General Social Survey indicated that 34% of Americans think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of scientific,” with the percentage of individuals who think astrology is “not at all scientific” dropping from two-thirds to about half.
Astrology is the concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars over your head when you were born or the fact that Mercury is retrograde, have the potential to influence our daily lives and personality traits. Of course, this is distinct from astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the physics of the cosmos.
A particular facet of astrology, the foretelling of a person’s future or the provision of daily counsel via horoscopes, is gaining in popularity. The Cut, for example, recorded a 150 percent rise in horoscope page views in 2017 compared to 2016.
Clearly, a lot of people are trying to figure out how to read the stars for guidance. Understanding the positions of the stars is the foundation of astrology, which appears to be a scientific discipline in and of itself. Is there any scientific evidence that astrology has an impact on our personalities and lives?
But, since I still have five minutes of this six-minute podcast to fill, let’s take a look at how astrology has been put to the test.
Which zodiac is the oldest?
The Latin term for “fishes” is “pisces.” The two fish first appeared on an Egyptian coffin lid around 2300 BC, making it one of the oldest zodiac signs known.
Pisces depicts the fish, sometimes portrayed by a shark, into which Aphrodite (also known as Venus) and her son Eros (also known as Cupid) turned in order to flee the demon Typhon, according to one Greek tale. Gaia had sent Typhon, the “father of all monsters,” to attack the gods, prompting Pan to warn the others before transforming into a goat-fish and diving into the Euphrates. In Manilius’ five-volume lyrical work Astronomica, a similar narrative, in which the fish “Pisces” save Aphrodite and her son from danger, is retold: “Venus ow’d her safety to their Shape.” Another urban legend claims that an egg landed in the Euphrates River. The fish then rolled it to the shore. Doves sat on the egg until it hatched, and Aphrodite emerged. Aphrodite threw the fish into the starry sky as a gesture of thanks to the fish. The constellation Pisces was also known as “Venus et Cupido,” “Venus Syria with Cupidine,” “Venus cum Adone,” “Dione,” and “Veneris Mater,” the latter being the formal Latin name for mother, due to these traditions.
The Greek myth of Pisces’ genesis has been highlighted by English astrologer Richard James Morrison as an example of myths that emerged from the original astrological teaching, and that the “original aim ofwas thereafter distorted both by poets and priests.”
