born 21st march 1959 what do they mean by being on the cusp of pieces?

Answer 1

You are born on the cusp of Pisces and Aries. The cusp means you were born on the day the transiting Sun went from being in the sign of Pisces and into the sign of Aries. Depending on where and what time you were born, you will be either one sign or the other NOT both.

Contrary to some of the websites out on the 'net you can not be a "cusp" person and a combination of both Pisces and Aries. It's impossible, incorrect and a common misconception to people not trained and educated in Astrology.

To determine your actual Sun sign by sign and degree, you'll need your

Answer 2

my birthday is the 22 of march and here is my understanding since I as well sit on the cusp of the signs pisces and aries ( the cusp is a three day period before and after the beginning of a new sign)

Me personally it has come that with the research of both signs I have done is that I hold characterisitics of both these wonderful signs.

I am normally more of a pisces more calm easy going eager compassionate and organized

My aries controls my determination, anger, all that fiery stuff that aries are so popular for jealousy, being first, winning

If u would like to know more let me know

No worries though if you are balanced properly you have a wonderful mix of signs. Take advantage of it and remember We always get what we want don't stand in our way

Answer 3

I'm born on the 21st of March too! The cusp means the end of one sign and the start of the next one i think so if you were born a day earlier you would be a picies :)

Answer 4

Being on the cusp means you might have traits of both signs. You could have some characteristics of Aries and also characteristics of pisces.

Answer 5

You are on the end date of Pisces and the next day is the start date for Aries.

Answer 6

Originally referred to as your Star Sign, your Sun Sign represents the Sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at the time of your birth. The Sun rules will power and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual -- who you are and what you are about.


Your Sun Sign represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It represents your personal honesty and integrity, your ability to command respect and authority and your capacity to impress and influence others.

If you are born on a Cusp, you will incorporate the energies of both Signs.

PISCES & ARIES CUSP:

Pisces is the 12th and final Sign of the Zodiac; Aries is the first. Pisces/Aries are spiritual, often strongly intuitive and are receptive to the collective unconscious. They like to get things started and tend to display strong leadership abilities. Their dedicated and assertive nature lets them eagerly lead the new cycle. Pisces is the Sign of Dreams and Secrets; it represents much that is hidden, both strengths and enemies. Aries is the Sign of new beginnings.


The astrological symbol of Pisces is the Pair of Fish, which reflect the dual nature of life; the two Fish swim in different directions, representing reality and nonreality, consciousness and the unconscious. The astrological symbol of Aries is the Ram. Like the popular conception of the Ram, Aries are able to accomplish a lot by sheer energy and force of will, 'ramming' their way to their goals. In this way, Aries exemplifies the Cardinal quality assigned to it. Pisces, on the other hand, can be indirect and unfocused. Pisceans don't have a strong agenda; they tend to go with the flow and move where life takes them. In this way, Pisces exemplifies the Mutable quality assigned to it. Pisces/Aries are unique in the sense that they are the chameleons of the Zodiac, receptive to the needs of others, but also tending to be about self and ego rather than the balance between people. However, they are not loners.

Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter also rules Sagittarius. In ancient Roman mythology, Jupiter (and his Greek equivalent, Zeus) was the king of the gods. Neptune (and his Greek equivalent, Poseidon) was the god of the sea. When the Planet Neptune was discovered, modern astrologers assigned it to be the ruler of Pisces. Neptune is about everything that isn't quite real: illusion and fantasy, drama and art, faith and spirituality. All of these are important to those born under Pisces or on a Pisces Cusp.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars. In ancient Roman mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the god of war. He was bold, aggressive, energetic and courageous. Mars was active and high-spirited, full of physical energy and vitality. Aries or Aries Cusp-born reflect Mars's leadership and initiative. Pisces/Aries Cusp individuals are adept at taking the ball and running with it, and projects tend to progress quickly under their guidance. A well-run project may become boring for these chameleon-like folks; they can lack follow-through and lose interest before the project is completed. They are idealistic, but sometimes their dreams are vague and impractical. When reality intrudes, they can become pessimistic or lethargic, but they are very adaptive and broad-minded so they can rework their ideals when necessary

The Element associated with Pisces is Water. Water Signs are emotional and sensitive to others; they respond to the world more intuitively than practically. The Element associated with Aries is Fire. Fire Signs are physical: They tend to respond to the world through direct action rather than planning their moves strategically. Pisces/Aries are compassionate, sensitive and imaginative; they are sympathetic to others' feelings. When presented with a new project or idea, their innate enthusiasm and need for challenge cause them to jump in immediately, leading the way. One of their great skills is reaching beyond normal limitations. They tend to be romantic and sentimental, but they may give in to escapism. They are devoted to their goals and are constantly initiating new projects.

Pisces/Aries are sometimes elusive, refusing to show their real selves. They are thoughtful, sometimes displaying remarkable musical talent. They also tend to want what they want, when they want it. The ego that can manifest itself in Aries causes some Rams and Ram Cusps to feel that they are the centre of the universe. Those born under this Sign may be fascinated with dreams and dream interpretation.

In their leisure time, Pisces/Aries play as hard as they work at the office. They greatly enjoy athletics, as sports give them a positive and healthy outlet for some of their natural aggression and emotional stress. They appreciate both individual challenge, especially aerobics, as well as the group challenge of football and soccer. They especially enjoy sports that bring them into contact with the Element of Water, such as swimming and sailing. They are very artistic and may excel at music and drama. In love relationships, Pisces is playful, devoted, and romantic.

The great strength of the Pisces/Aries-born is in their compassion, energy, initiative and courage. They reach out to others more skilfully than most other Signs, and they especially enjoy helping others reach their fullest potential. Their natural sensitivity makes them one of the most understanding characters of the Zodiac.
