Compatible Cusp Signs

This is due to the astronomical number of possible influences and variations based on people's individual natal charts. The best way to consider a relationship is with the two people side by side with their natal chart with all other applicable influences.

Please keep in mind that this guide is for the average person. Aspects that are not included in it can still make a big difference.

What are Cusp Signs?

Cusps are the border that separates each house and zodiac sign and mark the transitional periods from one astrological sign to another. Aries is a Cardinal (or initiating) sign, being the first of the cycle. Taurus is an Earth (or receiving) sign, being second in the cycle and so forth. The cusp is when that change occurs, and at that time, you begin to experience some qualities of both signs.

If you were born on the 20th of March, you would be an Aries-Pisces cusp. You would have the qualities of both signs in your personality, demeanor, and overall perspective on life.

Cusp signs are transitional periods from one astrological sign to another. You can think of them like the "in-between" times of day: dawn, dusk, sunrise, sunset, etc... They are the transition zones between two consecutive astrological signs.

Which Cusp Signs are Compatible?

Compatibility is based on the element and cusp sign that a couple shares. Using the example above, Pisces- Aries Cusp people might be more compatible with Taurus- Cancer Cusp people because they have the same element (Water) and a compatible cusp sign (Cancer).

When thinking of general compatibility, it's best to think of elements getting along. In other words, Fire signs are generally compatible with Fire signs, and Earth signs get along well with other Earth Signs. Below is a list of the elements and their corresponding signs:

Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn

Water Signs – Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Air signs – Gemini, Libra & Aquarius

Fire Signs- Aries ,Leo & Sagittarius

The elements were put in order from most compatible to least compatible. It should be noted that the elements can overlap. There are, of course, other factors that contribute to compatibility and a sign's position on the wheel. However, this general compatibility guide is meant to provide a helpful starting point.

Aries/Taurus Cusp (April 16-22nd)

People born on the Aries/Taurus Cusp tend to have strong personalities. They can also be stubborn and opinionated at times, especially when they feel correct and other people disagree with them. These individuals do best with partners that share their sense of adventure and are up for new experiences.

Gemini/Cancer and Aries/Taurus people are usually a good match because both signs are extroverted. Aries/Taurus tend to keep their emotions under wraps, but Gemini/Cancer people are very out-spoken with theirs, so the Aries/Taurus person will have no problem opening up and expressing themselves too.

Gemini/Cancer Cusp (May 17-23rd)

People born on the Gemini/Cancer Cusp are sensitive and emotional people. They can have a hard time understanding their own emotions, but that doesn't make them indecisive or wishy-washy. Gemini/Cancer Cusp individuals are creative and intuitive, an idealistic bunch with a good sense of humor to keep things light when they need to be.

Leo/Virgo and Gemini/Cancer cusp people are usually good matches. Leo/Virgo are creative and social like Gemini/Cancer people, but they don't get as emotionally involved in things to help their Gemini/Cancer partner keep their feet on the ground.

People born on the Leo/Virgo Cusp are very competent and talented people. They love to take charge of almost any situation they find themselves in, so Leo/Virgo individuals tend to be natural-born leaders. Even though they can be bossy, arrogant, and opinionated at times, that infectious energy makes them impossible not to like.

Libra/Scorpio Cusp (September 19th - 25th)

People born on the Libra/Scorpio Cusp tend to be self-critical and insecure at times.
