What is a Cusp?
If you are born on a cusp, it means that you're born during days that fall either at the end of or beginning of a Zodiac Sign and you are influenced by both Zodiac Signs. Some Astrologers don't believe in cusps at all. Others believe that cusps happen only the last day of a Zodiac Sign or the first day of one. Some Astrologers believe there is a period of about a week when you can be a Zodiac cusp. There are a total of 12 cusps and the third cusp is the Gemini Cancer cusp. Each cusp is named after the distinctive energy that it embodies and the Gemini Cancer Cusp is called The Cusp of Magic.
Your Sun Sign represents the core of your birth chart. If you are on a cusp, you will have the influence of both Signs. It doesn't dilute your Zodiac sign, but it actually enhances it, complicates it, and deepens it. It gives you your very best and worst traits. One thing to know about your best and worst traits, they're pretty much the same thing. You will get good and bad traits from both Zodiac Signs if you're on a cusp. You have the ability to turn the negative side of your traits into something positive and make your worst weaknesses your greatest strengths. Being on a cusp helps give you infinite opportunities to do that! Read about the Aries Taurus cusp here: What Does it Mean to Be an Aries and Taurus Cusp?
Gemini Traits
Between May 21st and June 20th, every year, some fantastic people are born. They are called Geminis. They have positive traits and some dark traits. They are very flexible individuals and their curiosity causes them to adapt. They are social butterflies who can be the life of the party, but they can have a really harsh sense of humor.
Flexible
Gemini is one of the Mutable Zodiac Signs, which means that they are adaptable, highly versatile individuals. They are not afraid of change, and if things stay the same for too long, they will become extremely bored. They love variety, new adventures, and to meet new people. Their symbol is the twins, and that can make it seem like they are two different people some days. That is because they are multifaceted individuals who believe that life is for living, not conforming to. Not only will they adapt, but they're good at talking other people into adapting also.
Curious
Geminis have thirsty minds. They love to learn, expand their understanding and awareness, and absorb things. They are fascinated with different parts of themselves, learning about different people, and having all kinds of new, exciting experiences. In some ways they are Renaissance men and women, living many different lives, and reinventing themselves all the time. This helps them to learn a lot of different skills, have a brain that is always growing, and be unafraid to go new places and have new experiences.

Social Butterflies
Geminis are great with people. They are charming, good at talking to pretty much anyone, and a lot of them seem like they never meet a stranger. They need a lot of social stimulation, and when they don't get it, they can wither because they feel isolated. On the positive side, this helps them to do jobs and complete tasks working with people. On the negative side, it makes them nearly bore themselves to death when they're alone, and they can become codependent very easily. They have to learn to balance their need to be around people and manage to do things on their own.
Sharp Sense of Humor
The biggest clown in the Zodiac is probably Gemini. They can make you laugh, and laugh with you, but they will also laugh at you. They can be downright mean and morbid with their sense of humor sometimes. No topic seems to be off limits for what they will laugh about, even things you can find upsetting. The positive side of this is Geminis can handle it when they are the joke. They are equal opportunity jokesters, but just now if you play a joke on them, they will enjoy it- right before they get you back.

Cancer Traits
Between June 21st and July 22nd, some very sensitive people are born under the Zodiac Sign of Cancer. They have positive and negative traits. They're very private people and emotionally very sensitive. They've built their lives around their family and chosen family, but they can be highly manipulative individuals.
Private
Privacy is very important to Cancers. It makes them feel safe and secure if everyone doesn't know everything about them. That's very understandable, but sometimes they take it a little too far. Sometimes they hide things from people who have a right to know the information, and other times they hide things just to say they do. They can be dishonest, only telling part of the story to people who need all the information and they can outright lie to preserve their privacy. They don't like to be confrontational and tell people that it's none of their business, but doing that can be very helpful sometimes.
Emotionally Sensitive
Cancers feel things very deeply. They feel all of the happy feelings and all of the sad feelings more strongly than a lot of other Zodiac signs will. This can be good and bad. They're so sensitive, other people affect them so strongly that it's easy to completely control their emotions. Their sensitivity helps them to be caring and helpful of other people though. They use this natural sensitivity to help them anticipate needs through the psychic gift of empathy. They can be some of the best caretakers in the Zodiac because of their sensitivity.

Family Oriented
Family is very important to Cancers. Typically, they lean very heavily towards their mother's side of the family and matriarchs in their families. Female Cancers tend to become matriarchs also because they become the caretakers and go to people in the family that everybody turns to when they need help or advice. They will drop whatever they are doing to take care of a family member and they will build their careers around what helps their family most. They're not just that way with blood relatives, though. They choose friends who they love most of all and take them under their wing and treat them like family too.
Manipulative
On one hand, knowing how to get people to do things is a gift that people in sales, politics, and all forms of teaching are thankful to have. Cancers can be highly persuasive individuals. They use this gift to talk people into doing the right thing, motivating people to better themselves, and just basically talking you into being happy when you're having a bad day. They also know how to emotionally manipulate people to get revenge or to get their way. God help you if you break a Cancer’s heart. They will throw it up in your face every chance they get. And emotionally blackmail you if they want to. Well, it's probably your fault anyways, at least they think so.

Gemini Cancer Cusp Traits
Between the dates of June 17th and June 23rd people are born on the Gemini Cancer cusp. It is called the Cusp of Magic. These people are amazingly but also highly protective individuals. They are master multitaskers, but they overthink things sometimes too.
Creative
Combine the sensitivity of Cancer with the intellectualism of Gemini and you get a highly creative individual. Their minds go a mile a second and they're constantly processing information. They don't just look for new information to absorb. They take it and create things with it. Whether they are creating solutions for problems at a technological job or they are creating artistic masterpieces, the Gemini Cancer cusp people have always got some kind of a project going on where they make something amazing out of nothing.
Protective
The family oriented side of Cancer makes these people highly protective individuals. Geminis are naturally masterful mediators who can turn people on to most anything. Not only do they combine that mediation with family orientation, they want to take care of everybody who they care about. They are fierce Mama Bears or Papa Bears and take everybody under their wing who they can. They are highly selective with who they take under their wing though. So if they decide to be protective of you, then you are very fortunate and very special to them indeed. Some of the most protective people are parents.

Master Multitaskers
The high energy of Gemini combined with the creativity that this cusp embodies make them master multitaskers. They can be checking their messages while they're having a meeting and making a decision all at the same time. If they are work from home parents, they won't miss a beat on the job while they're herding the kids. Their minds never seem to stop, and they never seem to run out of energy for getting things done. Some people have one track minds and can focus on only one thing at a time. Not this cusp.
Overthinkers
Their intellectualism means that they overthink things sometimes, and that's not good. After they have found a solution, they will be rethinking everything to see if they could have come up with an even better solution. If you had a disagreement with them, they will be turning it over in their minds multiple times to see if they can figure out what happened. It would be easier for them to sit down and have a talk with you, but they are so intellectual they need to think about things on their own. If you love them, you will be able to tell from their body language when they are overthinking. Take their hand and ask them to tell you what's on their mind. They will be thankful for someone who loves them enough to listen. Another Zodiac Sign that can overthink things sometimes is Virgo, and you can read more about their dark side here: The Dark Side of Virgos and How to Deal with It

Fellow Water Signs understand the Cancer side of this cusp, but sometimes they exacerbate each other's dark sides and can be a bad influence on one another's negative tendencies. Pisces is especially good at empathy and can anticipate everything that this cusp is thinking and feeling. This can be used to ease minds but can easily manipulate them though, so they have to be wary of people who get inside their heads too easily. Scorpios are another Zodiac sign that needs a lot of privacy and they keep each other's secrets as well, so this is a combination worth exploring.
Air Signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius appeal to the intellectual side of this cusp. They are master communicators and never run out of things to talk about. Earth Signs can have a difficult time with this cusp if the Gemini side exhausts them by being motor mouths or constantly needing to try new things. Earth Signs are creatures of habit, but love the protective side of the Cancer aspect of this cusp. If they can build a relationship founded around family or hearth and home, this can be a great love combination.
