What is a Cusp?
If you are born on a cusp, it means that you're born on days that fall either at the end of one Zodiac Sign or beginning of the next one and you are influenced by both Signs. Some Astrologers don't believe in cusps at all. Others believe that cusps happen during the last day of a Zodiac Sign or the first day of the next. 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 fifth cusp is the Leo Virgo cusp. Each cusp is named after the distinctive energy that it embodies and the Leo Virgo Cusp is called The Cusp of Exposure.
Your Sun Sign represents the core of your birth chart. If you are on a cusp, you will have the influence of both Signs. This doesn't dilute your Zodiac sign, but it actually enhances it, complicates it, and deepens it. It gives you your very best and absolute 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 power to turn the dark 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 another cusp, the Aries Taurus cusp here: What Does it Mean to Be an Aries and Taurus Cusp?
Leo Zodiac Traits
Between July 23rd and August 22nd, some of the most prideful, dramatic, and charismatic people are born. They are Leos. They are some of the funniest people you will ever meet, and their confidence will impress you. They are loyal lovers, some of the best friends, and they are high drama in both good and bad ways.
Funny
Nobody is quite sure what makes Leo so funny, but if you need a good laugh, reach out to them. It's not that they don't take themselves seriously, it's just that they believe life is for living and fun is a part of that. They will keep a running commentary of insults and shaming going to humiliate your ex, they will send you hilarious memes when you are emotionally healing from something, and they will make sure you laugh and don't take yourself so seriously that you get tense. They have a very unique way of looking at the bright side of things, and that includes how funny things can be.
Confident
Whenever a Leo walks in the room, not only do they act like they own it, but royalty is present. Their Zodiac symbol is the Lion, the king of beasts, for exactly that reason. They know their value, they know what they're good at, and they expect that to be acknowledged. Nothing seems to intimidate them, nobody seems to frighten them, and nothing seems like too big of a challenge for a Leo. However, Leos suffer from the same insecurities as everyone else, they just have a different attitude. They believe very strongly that they deserve all the best, and they are going to get it if it's the last thing they do. They can't get that by tucking their tail between their legs and begging for it. Read more about the Leo Zodiac Sign here: Leo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Loyal
Perhaps the strongest trait of Leos is their powerful loyalty and undying devotion. They don't give their loyalty to just anyone. They only give it to the people who they feel are worth it. If they are with you, they are with you 100% and you will never feel the need to question that. Relationships are not a one way street with Leos. They expect the same devotion from you. If you can't give it to them, then don't waste their time because you don't deserve them. Most people would give anything to have the devotion and loyalty of a Leo. So the question is not will they dedicate themselves to you. The question is, do you have what it takes to make them devoted to you and can you match it?
Dramatic
Leos are awesome, but they have terrible mood swings and they can be dramatic- so dramatic, as a matter of fact, that people call them “extra”. They overdress because they want to look good. They flog a dead horse in a conversation and people wish they would just shut up after they've proven their point countless times. They can be melodramatic when they're upset about something and have a toddler-like meltdown over the smallest thing. They can overspend, overeat, oversleep, and overdo pity parties. They also overdo giving attention to people who don't deserve it sometimes and they need to stop that.

Virgo Zodiac Traits
From August 23rd to September 22nd, Virgos are born. They are master organizers and are some of the most hardworking people in the Zodiac. They have discerning eyes, yet they can be overly critical.
Well Organized
Virgos are born to organize. They organize people, events, places, things, and themselves. They are always busy planning, thinking ahead, and trying to come up with the best ways of doing things. As a result, they tend to be in charge of quite a lot. They have a problem though. Some of them are so draconian and autocratic, they lack the people's skills to motivate people to help them willingly. All they need is a little bit of charm and finesse, and their great organizational skills will get people to naturally follow them. Some people tolerate the less charming Virgos and follow them anyway because they are so good at planning things.
Hard Working
Did I say Virgos are born to organize? They're also born to work, and that's what they live to do. It's very difficult to get a Virgo to stop working, as a matter of fact. They are passionate about whatever it is that they work on, whether it be a career, a particular job within their career, or some type of hobby that they fall in love with. They eat, sleep, and breathe work. As a result, they are some of the most productive people who you will ever meet and they achieve a lot of their own goals. The one thing they wish is that everyone surrounding them would work as hard as they did. Sometimes they get that wish. Sometimes they don't. They are always available to help give pointers and suggestions to help you to improve your job performance, your work style, and whatever techniques you're working on. They don't just live to do their own work, they live to help other people with theirs. Read more about the Virgo Zodiac Sign here: Virgo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Discerning
Virgos are detail oriented individuals who have very high standards. They strive for excellence in all they do. Because of this, they often find themselves in positions to teach, mentor, and guide others. They are excellent at quality control and are great at helping their team catch problems before they get out of hand. The only problem is that sometimes they get on people's nerves because they offer suggestions when they are not asked for. They're not trying to be annoying, they're genuinely trying to help. When a Virgo offers an unsolicited opinion, listen to what they have to say before you tell them to buzz off. It’s probably helpful advice.
Overly Critical
Not only are Virgos very discerning and detail oriented, They are persnickety to the point of being so picky, they seem to enjoy being unhappy with things. They can find fault in anything, reject perfectly good people, and then they will pick themselves apart to the point that they make themselves physically ill. They're not trying to be nasty people who are impossible to please. They're just such perfectionists that they don't know when to stop trying to make everything excellent. They need to take a step back, take a break, and breathe. Sometimes somebody's best is good enough, and Virgos need to learn to accept that.

Leo Virgo Cusp Traits
If you're born between August 19th and August 25th, you are on the cusp of Virgo and Leo and it's called the Cusp of Exposure. People born during these dates have a commanding, dynamic presence, and are highly nurturing individuals. They have the high standards of Virgo, but they can have a lot of emotional insecurity.
Commanding Presence
When you combine the charismatic drama and boldness of Leo. with the work ethic and confidence of a Virgo, you get someone with a commanding presence. They will outshine the brightest star, be the most “extra” individual, and do it with a sense of style. That will make them the envy of everyone. You would think they never make a mistake or they're not afraid of anything. Nothing could be further from the truth. These amazing people are just like the rest of us and have their own fears, weaknesses, and needs. They just don't let on.
Nurturing
This cusp will not just order you around. They're going to be watching over you the whole time they are in charge. They expect a high amount of cooperation, of course, but their attitude is that their team is under their protection and has all of their support. As parents, they are fiercely protective and seek to be emotionally supportive as well. They will have your back when you need them, and encourage you when you need it. It might be a little hard for them to back off and cut the apron strings when it's time, though. Another Zodiac Sign that is nurturing is Taurus and you can read more about them here: Taurus Traits | Star Sign in the Spotlight
High Standards
This cusp is one that has some of the highest standards in the Zodiac. They have high expectations of you, of course, but they will never ask you to do anything that they wouldn't do themselves. They always have a watchful eye for where improvements can be made, and they expect you to be constantly improving also. As teachers and leaders, they just want to see you succeed, and they would love nothing more than for you to surpass them. Don't disappoint them and they will keep you under their wing for life.
Insecure
The commanding presence of this Sign makes people think that they're not afraid of anything. That's not true. The fact that they're so detail oriented means that they are acutely aware of everything that could go wrong, and that terrifies them. They are terrified of losing the people who they are most loyal to and terrified of losing status in their career and community. They will constantly be pushing themselves to excel, and always be going out of their way to prove to you how much they love you. Don’t let insecurity make you lose your independence.

Leo Virgo Cusp Compatibility
Such a discerning cusp isn't going to be compatible with just anyone. Fire Signs Aries and Sagittarius can drive this cusp crazy. Their spontaneous energy will make them feel like they are unreliable. Air Signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius can have successful relationships with this cusp if they are devoted. Air Signs have a way of cutting people off who they feel don't care about them. This cusp is terrified of that happening and might shy away from Air Signs for that reason.
Water Signs want someone to love them most of all, and this cusp is focused on family, loyalty, and long-term commitment. This can be a match made in heaven. Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn can have quite a bit of success with this cusp as long as they don't try to be bossy. This cusp cannot stand being pushed around. While they have no problem being cooperative, they need to call the shots. If you can love them and let them lead, they will be with you for life.
The best and worst of Leo and Virgo come together in the Cusp of Exposure. Hard working, discerning, and nurturing, these people expose the true sides of themselves with the way that they live, love, and work. You never have to wonder where you stand with them, because when they love you, their heart is completely open and you will never have to question that.
