🗓️ Cusps & What Your Birth Month Says About You 💌

March Aries or April Aries? May Gemini or June Gemini? Here’s a vibe check for each sign.

In astrology, zodiac signs are determined by the Sun’s position at the time of birth, dividing the year into twelve signs, each spanning roughly a month.

However, the exact dates for each sign can vary slightly due to the solar calendar, creating “cusps” where individuals born near the transition between two signs may exhibit traits of both.

A cusp is typically considered the few days (about 2-5 days) at the beginning or end of a sign’s period, where the energies of the adjacent signs blend, creating a unique expression of the individual’s personality.

Additionally, even within the same zodiac sign, the month of birth—early or late in the sign’s period—can influence how the sign’s traits manifest. Those born earlier in a sign’s period (e.g., May Gemini) may embody the sign’s core qualities more purely, while those born later (e.g., June Gemini) may show a subtle pull toward the next sign’s energy, even if they don’t fall on the cusp.

This monthly differentiation adds nuance to astrological interpretations, as the Sun’s progression through a sign can amplify certain traits or blend them with the approaching sign’s influence.

Below, read about what your birth month uniquely says about you and what it means for your sign!
