What does it mean to be born on a "cusp"?

I'm born on the cusp of sag and capricorn. (dec 21) sometimes it says I'm sag other times it says I'm cap. So are there different personality traits for cuspies?

    Majority of people make this claim, yet sadly they do not understand that unless it is at 29 degrees/ or 00 degrees of a sign, it is not the cusp. A cusp is the division of houses, or sometimes a transition of one sign to another. Understand that the zodiac does not begin on the same day, hour, or minute of each year. Therefore, in order to determine whether you are a sag or cap you truly need an ephemeris, or erect a chart to have this accurate. How the sun travels is also at different speeds throughout the year, that is what is call long ascension and short ascension. You were born on a short ascension, meaning that your progressed charts will react less than a degree a year. Since you did not post the year you were born we cannot answer your question.

    Born Again? Very good question, and not surprised that you're confused. This term comes from John chapter 3, Jesus speaking to Nicodemus: "Do not marvel when I say to you, you must be born again..." (John 3:7). A more literal translation of the Greek would be: "you all must be born from above." It has come to characterize Christians who have undergone a personal conversion experience. The question remains whether or not this new birth is something that the believer must consciously feel. Traditional Christian Churches such as the Roman Catholics, Orthodox, later the Lutheran, and Anglican (and Methodist) believed that baptism of infants was sufficient to confer the grace of salvation upon the person. Anabaptists, for example, questioned this and said that only adult believers should be baptized as an act of their own free will. Most modern day Evangelical churches follow this practice. Pentecostalism is somewhat different from both traditional Protestantism and contemporary Evangelicalism. This is because of their belief in a second Baptism--that of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes they view speaking in tongues as the "evidence" of this Baptism. This doctrine has caused more division than it ought to, but the belief in the second indwelling of Christ is something that has been uncomfortable for a lot of Christians for some time. It's possible that this experience is what the Wesleys were after. Their revivalist movement was called "Methodism" because they seemed to have a method to getting people saved and then sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit. They can be understood as precursors to the modern day Pentecostal revival that was sparked at Asuza Street in Los Angeles in the early 1900's. It was at an AME (African Methodist Episcopal) church that a preacher named William Seymour led the revivals that came to be called Pentecostalism. Your question underscores the unfortunate, but very real divide that exists in today's Evangelical Christians between the Charismatic (another term loosely meaning Pentecostal) and the Fundamental (those who are strongly Bible based but deny any miraculous powers are given to the believer). An example would be Oral Roberts (Charismatic healer) vs. Billy Graham (dynamic, but not "Charismatic," preacher). The emphasis on being born again would be more Fundamental, while the Pentecostals would urge the believer to be "filled with the Holy Spirit." An example of a strongly Fundamental but anti-Charismatic institution would be the Dallas Theological Seminary. Some people would disagree with this characterization of "Fundamental," by I think its accurate. I'd much rather preach to you the scriptures; but I remember my days of seeking answers, and I just wanted some basic information. Yours in Christ, Nick

    This question seems to go in cycles, tonight there are many of them here. But Miss 6 and Mystic are correct - you can not be in both signs at once. Your Sun was in one sign or another. Yes get a chart done, you all will see that there is only one place for a planet to be.

    You can only have one sun sign & the sun travels through each sign at different times of the day. The sun may or may not have entered Capricorn at the time of your birth. You would need to get your chart done to be sure. There are a lot of free places for a birth chart on line, try astro.com or cafe astrology.

    it means your born between two signs both with different personalitys .

    i see it as being like a tightrope walker !

    it can be a little confusing being two seperate signs.

    your probably more sagitarius than capricorn but it also depends on the rest of the planets in your chart.

    Because both signs are still intact, your traits will derive from one or the other, or both. They can also collide and such... so it basically means that you can get traits from both :)
