Life on the Libra Scorpio Cusp by Psychic Moira

You may be wondering what it means to be born on the zodiac cusp. Are you both signs? Not at all. Here's what you need to know if your birthday falls on a Cusp.  In this case we are looking at the Libra-Scorpio Cusp of Drama and Criticism (October 19-25). You may have been born in the very first minute of the Sun's ingress to Scorpio - and you are a fully-fledged Scorpio. However, you will have compelling influences from Libra. The Moon, Mercury, and Venus travel near the Sun, so there's a distinct possibility you could have the Sun in Scorpio and one or more personality planets in Libra. 

The Libra-Scorpio Cusp is influenced by alluring Venus, the ruler of Libra, and powerful, transforming Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet.  The Libra-Scorpio cusp brings together the Air and Water elements, the seventh and eighth houses of the Zodiac: relationships, therapy, marriage, and partnerships. 

It is here that love, beauty, wisdom, and passion intersect. Combining these intense energies makes for a magnetic and beguiling individual. Libra is gracious and balanced; Scorpios are private and mysterious.

Libra-Scorpio cusp people are intelligent, sexy, and masterful at maintaining a curated and controlled environment—a stylish, secretive, and unique signature. They sometimes develop a persona that keeps others at arm's length, yet they can be found teaching and mentoring with great feeling and integrity.

Ruler: Venus / Pluto

Symbol:  The Scales / The Scorpion 

Element:  Air / Water

Expression: Cardinal / Fixed

Your Strengths:

• Charismatic and artistic.
• Charming, sexy, and mysterious with a dose of wit. 
• Honest, forthright, and responsible.
• Powerful with a strong sense of self.
• Intellectual.

Your Vulnerabilities:

• At times, you fall into cynicism. Healthy skepticism is reasonable but being cynical is limiting. 
• You're a critical thinker, again terrific, but you can use judgment as a means to unhealthy isolation. 
• While you're hiding away, you can become detached, rigid, or stubborn. You have no difficulty setting boundaries, but sometimes others perceive you as uncivil when the door slams shut. 

Libra-Scorpios are usually experts in their fields and whatever interests them. They make excellent teachers and mentors, professionally and informally, sharing their knowledge and expertise. 

Even the most composed and responsible Libra-Scorpio has a wild and theatrical side. The Cusp of Drama connects Libra's flair for the dramatic with Scorpio's profoundly emotional nature. They will not hesitate to affirm their values or express themselves, which they can do with great panache. 

Happy Birthday Cusp of Drama and Criticism!
