Just a reminder: Your birth time and degree determine your Sun sign—not "cusps” or personal opinions.
I didn’t realize this wasn’t common knowledge, but it’s understandable if people are new to astrology. There is no such thing as a cusp in astrology. You can be born on the date that one sign switches to another, but that does not make you a cusp, and you do not inherit traits from the other sign just because of your birthday. However, depending on the degree of your Sun sign, you may express different traits than someone else with the same Sun sign.
Depending on whether you believe in sidereal astrology (I personally don’t), Cancer runs from July 16th to August 16th, which would mean that most tropical Leos (unless they were born after August 17th) would actually be Cancers in the sidereal zodiac.
Now, here’s why degrees matter. Let’s say someone is born on July 22, 2022, at 4:04 p.m. They would be a Cancer. But if someone else is born on the same date and year, just three minutes later at 4:07 p.m., they would be a Leo. See how it’s only a three-minute difference, yet it changes the Sun sign? Exactly.
Please don’t make anyone feel less like their sign just because you’ve made up your own personal rules about what a Leo (or any other sign) is. That’s annoying as hell. 💀💀
