Cusps

Those who draw their first breath when one sign is giving place to another are said to belong on the Cusp, and so partake of the characteristics of both signs. This may be an advantage or a disadvantage, according to the harmony or in harmony of the signs. Six days in a sign is said to constitute a residence, but anything less than this time endows one with some of the qualities of the preceding sign.

The ancients gave the cusp children liberty to select their own colors and jewels from the two signs, and considered them related to the planets of both. Any other cusp information can easily be gleaned by the study of the two signs.

Scorpio/Sagittarius Cusp - Nov. 17 to Nov. 27

This is the point of energy and invincible determination. These natives learn equally by means of books and by absorption. They are sometimes remarkable imitators, and having been properly trained are graceful in manner and agreeable in speech.

The conscience of Sagittarius often has a hard tussle with the easier moral principles of Scorpio, but the former influence generally conquers. When a man or woman on this cusp prefers a dissipated or impure life the descent to Avernus is most rapid. They are afraid of nothing. The men make good soldiers, and the best of lawyers and surgeons. The word of the woman is law in her household, and disobedience is apt to be severely punished.

The love of approbation is very strong with these people, and the failure to receive what is considered their due of praise and consideration has a marked effect upon their happiness. They are natural reservoirs of strength. If this were not the case, it would be impossible to endure the strain which they voluntarily put upon themselves. Patience and passivity are the hardest lessons for these brilliant and capable people to learn, and notwithstanding their grand natural equipment they often work and fret themselves into the grave. This peculiar blending of water and fire sometimes produces a conflict of forces which ultimates in the most disagreeable pessimism.

They are apt to be very agreeable or exceedingly disagreeable.
