Would Aug 10 be the cusp between Leo and Virgo? Or July 28 be the cusp of Leo and Cancer? I don't understand how the two most prevelant men in my life (Husband and Dad) can be the same sign and such polar opposites!

you seem to have got the general idea. the cusp between two signs is the period of transition between them, different astrologers might regard the cusp as lasting a few minutes, or a few days.
and many astrologers would also suggest that your sunsign only sets the characteristics of your life which will dominate - not how they will dominate. so two people of the same sign might be peas in a pod, or chalk and cheese, but would be unlikely to be only moderately similar.
not that i believe any of this.

Astrology Cusp Signs
What is a cusp sign?
Answer: It is the first 5 degrees (approx 5 days before and 5 days after) when the new Sun Sign is coming into being and the old one is ending. The cusps, or blending of the signs, are more or less occupying the same time, (or space if you prefer). The cusp strength is greatest at the midpoint (or overlapping) of this merging of the signs and the effects gradually diminish toward the end of this period, at the waning of the former sign.
What does this mean to me?
Answer: You may find that some of the facets of your personality are directly related to the sign that has just past or is just beginning. The lesser qualities of one sign can be offset by the strength of the other that bears on the same personality or pending events.. When you are born on a Cusp it is easier to adjust yourself if you realize there are more influences at work in your life than just a single Zodiac sign. This could be some of the trouble you may have had adjusting to life and events.
How do I get a good idea of what makes me tick if I am born on a cusp?
Answer: Being born on the Cusp makes you a unique personality, with your ruling signs and influences bringing anomalies into your personality and emotions, so when reading the GENERALIZED Zodiac explanations as found on this or other sites, or books, ALWAYS read the reference for BOTH signs and you will see what I mean.
For instance: An Aries/Pisces cusp may leave you confused many times in your life when the inner spirit is gung-ho to do a thing but that tingling bit of caution creeps in to make you unsure. That is the, let's get moving Aries being slowed down by the ever careful Pisces!
Do the Charts deal with the cusp signs?
Answer: All charts do! Any personalized Astrology Charts are cast using your date and time of birth therefore the charts map your personality and tendencies based on the reigning signs at birth.
There is never a need for a separate "Cusp reading" as offered by some sites and by some software manufacturers who pad the reading with ego boosting statements about the Cusp Sign you are born under. Most of them are simply preying on unaware people who are not educated in these matters! The personality charts done for those born on certain dates could just as easily be renamed Cusp charts as they would contain the same enlightning information!

Cusp or not it doesn't really matter. The general idea behind astrology is that the phase of the moon during conception/pregnancy/birth effects the body chemestry of the child. This in turn will effect them as they get older. Basically, astrology uses a bit of scientific research to determine that people born during different times of the year are all about the same. However, this doesn't apply to everyone... we're all affected differently by different things. Perhaps either your father or your husband just weren't affected that much... or they have tried for a long time to become something that they're not.

two people can be the same sign and have totally different traits... because depending on the time of day you were born you also have a rising sign ... For example i was born @ 12:01 am... and im an aries i was born in the rising sun of aries... so i am a aries/aries... others could be aries/taurus... etc thus them having qualities and traits of a taurus...
So that very well could be the difference between your husband and your dad... ALSO remember signs give you a general idea of who you are dealing with.. only you will know who the true person is after you get to know them............
BUT sometimes when you meet someone and dont click when you find out what sign they are.... you already know why you couldnt stand them....
Good luck hope this helps...

They have the same sign of Leo But are Such Polar opposites because they're birth dates are a certain logical lenght apart that their personalities should be totally different!!!!

Sun signs, dear. An astrologer maps the whole sky for the moment and place of birth. The Sun Sign shows where the Sun was - They then add in the Ascendant, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars Jupiter, Saturn etc. etc.
If your men had planets in signs other than their Sun Sign it makes a huge difference.
