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 and you’re 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 ninth cusp is the Sagittarius Capricorn cusp. Each cusp is named after the distinctive energy that it embodies, and the Sagittarius Capricorn Cusp is called The Cusp of Prophecy.

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 is 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 Gemini Cancer Cusp here: What is the Cusp of Gemini and Cancer?

Sagittarius Zodiac Traits

Sagittarius Zodiac Traits

Between the dates of November 22 and December 21, Sagittarians are born. They are some of the most fun people you could ever hope to meet, and they are just as honest as they are fun. They have seemingly endless energy- but they aren’t perfect. They can be very selfish.

Fun

Sagittarians love to laugh and have a good time. It’s not as much fun for them unless everybody else is having just as much fun. They can bring a fun attitude to anything from a work meeting, a doctor appointment, or even an argument. Nothing is off limits when it’s time for a Sagittarian to laugh. They remind us not to take ourselves or things too seriously, and there is always a bit of humor to be found. Unfortunately, they will laugh at you as much as they laugh with you. That’s okay, they love it when you get them back and laugh at them because they don’t take themselves too seriously either.

Honest

One really fantastic thing about Sagittarians is how honest they are. If you ask them for their opinion, you're going to get it. All of it. They keep it real, speak their minds, and sometimes they're a little bit more blunt than some people would like them to be. Some people find them harsh and abrupt, but some people find their plain-spokenness refreshing. Some people can't stand how direct Sagittarians can be, but other people take it as a sign that they can trust them. On the other hand, sometimes they share harsh opinions that they could keep to themselves. Then again, that's just part of being a Sagittarius. They think that everybody is entitled to the truth, and everybody is also entitled to their opinions. Read more about Sagittarius here: Sagittarius | Traits Star Sign in the Spotlight

Energetic

If a Sagittarian is enthusiastic about something, they never get tired of it. They can talk a mile a minute about something they're excited about, and they will have tireless energy when it comes to handling something that they think needs done. They will show up before everyone else, work twice as hard as everybody, and be the last ones to leave. If, and only if, it's something that they care about doing, that is. If the Sagittarius does not see any point in something, or really doesn't want to do it, good luck getting them motivated. They might do something because they have to, but they will do the minimum, and complain the whole time. They will apply all the energy they don't want to waste on doing what they don't like to complaining about it.

Selfish

Sagittarians are always looking out for themselves. That is not a bad thing, but some of them take it so far they become opportunists, users, and they build relationships around who they can get the most from. On one hand, Sagittarians understand a great truth everybody else needs to learn. If our relationships don’t make our lives better, they are useless. On the other hand, if you are somebody who thinks only about what you can get from people instead of reciprocating, you are a self-centered individual. Most Sagittarians balance giving and taking well, but a few slip into being very selfish if they allow it.

Capricorn Zodiac Traits

Capricorn Zodiac Traits

Between the dates of December 22 and January 19 some wonderful people are born. They are Capricorns. They rival Virgos as hard workers, and they bring a shockingly great sense of humor to things. They are skeptical individuals, but they are grudge holders who are unlikely to forgive.

Hard Working

Capricorns are known as ladder climbers. They are always seeking self-improvement, and they don’t just do it for intrinsic growth. They want to move up in their careers and in society in general. They care deeply about how people view them, and their reputation is created carefully by them, and over a long period of time. They have an attitude that it doesn’t matter how long something takes, they will roll up their sleeves and work as hard as they need to for as long as it takes to achieve their goals. No job is too big for them. They love the sense of achievement, and are proud of themselves. They need to learn a good work life balance though because they overwork themselves too often.

Wickedly Funny

Don’t think Capricorns are boring drudges just because they work too hard sometimes. They have a refreshing sense of humor they take with them wherever they go. Theirs is an intellectual sense of humor—because intelligence is very important to them. However, they are ruled by the planet Saturn- which can instill a mindset of doom, gloom, and overall negativity. They find ways to make their negativity funny though. They are kings and queens of insults, and they know all the best ways of laughing about difficulties. This makes things more bearable for everyone, but sometimes, they take it too far. They can be very mean in their humor, and make fun of people just to keep the laughs coming. They never seem to run out of people who are eager to listen and laugh, no matter how negative the topic is though.

Skeptical

This Sign doesn’t just take everyone’s word for things. They are far too responsible for that. They might not let on that they are checking behind you when you tell them something, but know that they are doing it anyhow. Keep in mind they have a lot of responsibility and they didn’t earn that position by being followers. They earned it by showing they were trustworthy, and one way to do that is by having the correct information. They know they have a lot of people’s trust and if they screw up by being gullible about things, they are going to let everybody down.

Unforgiving

If you upset a Capricorn enough they will never forget it- even if they don’t cut you off. Whatever happened will always be in the back of their mind and they will always wonder if you are going to upset them again. Truthfully, most people are this way, but Saturn brings in that dismal mindset and makes Capricorns a little more sensitive about some things sometimes. Even if you did not do anything wrong, a Capricorn can take too much to heart sometimes, and hurt their own feelings. They will still blame you for it, though. Are you the one who needs forgiveness?

Sagittarius Capricorn Cusp Traits

December 18 to December 24 are the dates when people can be born on the cusp of Sagittarius and Capricorn. This is called the Cusp of Prophecy. These are outgoing people who are driven to succeed. They are emotionally torn between the Capricorn and Sagittarius traits, though, and they can be terrible gossips.

Outgoing

Anytime you have Sagittarius in your Sun Sign, you will have outgoing traits. Capricorn has the work ethic and Sagittarius brings bubbly, open communication to this cusp. What it gives you is a dynamic individual who lives to talk to people, knows how to work a crowd, and bathes in the adrenaline of groups of people. They can be very popular and no gathering is the same without them. They love to talk, but they also love to listen. They have a natural way of making people feel comfortable telling them things, and everybody wishes they were their best friend.

Driven

Sagittarians don’t always worry about goals, career, or worldly success. They are, however, bubbling over with enthusiasm for whatever they love doing, and Capricorn brings ambition to this cusp. They will be incredibly passionate about something and give it 110% of their efforts. The key is- THEY decide what drives them. You don’t. That is one thing that some people are disappointed about. This cusp decides their own destiny, they pick their own team, their own passions, and only apply themselves where they choose. Are you driven for success?

Emotionally Torn

These people are pretty awesome, but being on this cusp isn’t always awesome for them. Sagittarians are so free and fun loving while Capricorns are image conscious and going out of their way to be respectable. They fight themselves all the time when they are deciding how to be. On one hand these people want to have fun with reckless abandon, but they are far too practical most of the time. They feel both deprived, and horrified at the urges to be wild and crazy. Which side wins out depends on the individual.

Terrible Gossips

Terrible Gossips

These people are always in the midst of a group. People trust them and tell them things. Their negative side makes them see negative traits in other people. They also love a good laugh- even at other people’s expense. This can make them the worst gossips on earth- and they are not sorry. You cannot change them. So, if you don’t want to hear the gossip, excuse yourself from the conversation and if you don’t want them to tell people your business, don’t share it with them. Gossip hurts- but it helps sometimes too. Find out the good and bad side of gossip here: The Benefits and Dangers of Gossiping

Sagittarius Capricorn Cusp Compatibility

This cusp has high expectations and criteria about who they allow in their personal lives. They welcome anybody into their professional circle who applies themselves, but friendship and romance are a different story. You have to be one hell of a lot of fun- but they have to be able to trust you and take you seriously too. They also don’t have any tolerance for being ordered about or talked down to. That can be bad news for Earth Signs most especially Virgos, who need to be in charge. Taurases can be emotionally suffocating for this cusp, and other Capricorns may butt heads with them instead of collaborating. Read more about Taurus here: Taurus Traits | Star Sign in the Spotlight

Fire Signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius can have success in love with this Sign as long as they are responsible and loyal. Fire Signs need a lot of freedom, and are highly spontaneous- which can cause issues if they can’t balance that with being practical. Water Signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces can find this blunt cusp upsetting at times, and this can be a good or bad combination, depending on how much they are willing to tolerate this cusp’s in-your-face honesty. Air Signs tend to get along famously with this cusp. Air has the quality of encouraging the fun side of this cusp, but is serious and intellectual enough to earn their respect.

Hard working, outgoing, and constantly balancing the desire to let their hair down and run wild with the need to be practical, the amazing Cusp of Prophecy is a magical blend of Sagittarius and Capricorn. Don’t tell them your business if you don’t want to spread it around, but don’t break their hearts or they will never forget it! Keep reading our articles to learn more about Astrology!
