Facts about Leo Virgo Cusp

 Leo Virgo Cusp

August 21 to August 28

Leo Virgo cusp combination is also known as the Cusp of Exposure

Individuals born on the cusp of Leo (the fifth Sign of the Zodiac) and Virgo (the sixth Sign of the Zodiac) are ruled by both the Sun and the Planet Mercury. The attributes of these two combined Signs result in a good-natured disposition and natives who are inclined to take life easy, being well-satisfied with both themselves and their station in life.

Here, there is an interesting blend of the introvert and the extrovert...a mix of the practical and earthy qualities afforded by Virgo coupled with the more intuitive and fiery traits of Leo. The end result is often a quietly inspired individual who keeps his or her light within.

Below are brief personalities of individuals born of Leo Virgo cusp

• Possess the fiery, energetic and aggressive traits inherent in Leo
• Possess the rational and meticulous traits inherent in Virgo
• Tend to be highly secretive
• Able to accurately determine the right time to do something
• Experts at the art of effect
• More discriminating than most individuals
• Less overtly sensual than most individuals
• Reluctant to allow others to share in personal feelings

Some of these cuspians emit a muted or even nondescript first impression which often conceals a far more flamboyant tendency. Others come across as exhibitionists, but are really sensitive and private individuals.

There is a tendency here to hide certain personal qualities or facts...possibly for years. Nevertheless, the inner flamboyance is apt to emerge periodically in even the most introverted of these cuspians and during such occasions, they will reveal themselves to the world, totally aware of what they are doing.

Leo/Virgo natives born into unremarkable surroundings...or at the bottom of the social ladder...can sometimes be late starters in the struggle to move up in the world. Even when such ascension is initiated, it is only through tremendous tenacity and willpower that they can maintain momentum.

It is characteristic of these individuals not to reveal the truth about themselves or make grand displays of their real inner feelings until they attain their goals, whether such goals be social or professional.

Indeed, it may well be that this desire to divulge can be the fuel which powers the drive toward a goal, since those who reach the top and have carried lifelong secrets are prone to be found out...and usually through their own statements and behavior.

The greatest strength of Leo/Virgo cuspians is probably to be found in their creativity, attention to detail and inherent desire to be of service. They will pick up on the "little things" that others most likely miss, and thoughtful gifts or unique solutions to problems are second nature to those who fall under the influence of this cusp combination.

In addition, the commitment of these natives to help others makes them one of the most giving characters to be found in the Zodiac. The most important lesson to be learned by Leo/Virgo natives is to curb the desire for display and smug self-satisfaction.

As with all cusp individuals, these cuspians tend to be attracted to others born on the cusp...particularly those who fall within the Pisces/Aries and Taurus/Gemini combinations.

Notable Leo/Virgo Cuspians Include:

Bill Clinton; Coco Chanel; H.P. Lovecraft; Wilt Chamberlain; River Phoenix; and Princess Margaret Rose of England

Facts about Cancer Leo Cusp

Cancer Leo Cusp

July 22 to July 29

Cancer Leo cusp combination is also known as the Cusp of Oscillation. 

Of all twelve cusps, these natives most clearly display the split influences of two adjacent Signs almost opposite in their orientations. Here, traditionally feminine orientations (associated with the Moon) and traditionally masculine orientations (associated with the Sun) are combined equally in one single personality.

Here are brief personalities of individuals born of Cancer Leo cusp:

• Possess the inward and sensitive traits inherent in Cancer
• Possess the outward and fiery traits inherent in Leo
• Tend to have rather volatile personalities
• Prone to movement...both physically and emotionally
• Life is prone to be focused on strength and grace
• Often lacking in self-discipline
• Apt to dwell on the past
• Need to learn to live for the moment
• Vibrant and energetic

Generally, it is difficult (if not impossible) to push Cancer/Leo subjects from one psychological state into another due to the fact that they are resistant to emotional manipulation.

The water element of Cancer results in these natives tending to respond through emotion, while the fire element of Leo provides a more physical aspect to the character, coupled with a tendency to respond to the world by way of action.

Thus, these cuspians are normally quite intuitive and will leap headfirst into life, refusing to fret over whether their latest goal is realistic or practical. However, should the situation happen to require drama or courage, and then these subjects most certainly possess both...in great abundance.

"Creativity" is one of the keywords attributed to these subjects and their caring nature ensures that the benefits of their imaginative powers will help others. Although they may not necessarily be suited to the position of leadership, they are efficient and their application to the task at hand is admirable.

These natives also know how to delegate authority and work within a team environment. They usually prefer to be in the "thick of battle" rather than be found "sitting on the sidelines," and those who can work with these natives as true associates and partners are often able to share in such experiences, thus penetrating deeply into this cuspian's heart and mind.

Cancer/Leo natives set high goals for themselves. They are great thinkers and possess magnificent memories. By nature, these are immensely sympathetic souls...particularly to those in distress and will contribute freely and lavishly toward relief.

Loyalty to friends is yet another admirable trait associated with this cusp combination.

The most important lesson to be learned by Cancer/Leo natives is that they need to work with people who are not only highly competent and can carry their own share of the load, but that such people are able to understand these cuspians on a personal level.

It is also necessary for them to learn self-discipline and try not to concentrate overly much on the past...instead, living for the present. Additionally, these natives should note that it is essential for their blood and digestive organs to be well-toned.

As with all cusp individuals, these cuspians tend to be attracted to others born on the cusp...particularly those who fall within the Libra/Scorpio and Capricorn/Aquarius combinations.

Notable Cancer/Leo Cuspians Include:

Sir Edmund Hilary; Ernest Hemingway; Alexander the Great; Amelia Earhart; and Walter Payton

All about Leo Cusp

Leo Cusp

Persons born "on the line" between two Zodiac Signs partake of qualities found in both Signs or, more strictly speaking, have a blend of traits that may compose an individual nature. Due to variations in astrological calendars, this may became apparent during the last few days of a departing Sign, but the "cusp" (as it is termed) pertains chiefly to the first week of the incoming Sign.

While the new Sign is gaining its ascendancy, the influences of the old will persist but gradually loses its hold day-by-day until, by the seventh day; the new Sign is in complete control.

Here are two cusps associated to Leo:

1. Cancer Leo Cusp for individual born approximately from July 22 to July 29

2. Leo Virgo Cusp for individuals born approximately from August 21 to August 28

Positive and Negative Characteristics of Leo Woman

 Characteristics of Leo Woman

Leo woman is plainly an incurable romantic, forever in love with love...but such love must include affection. Personally magnetic, she has no problem in attracting potential mates...and if any mate should become jealous of her many admirers, it would be best to not let it show.

This is because the Leo woman believes, on some level, that she is entitled to as many compliments as others are willing to shower upon her.

Altogether fascinating, this female is something of an ambitious golden girl who likes to be free and independent...until her heart has been won and then, she is self-sacrificial in her giving.

Here are positive and negative characteristics of female Leo:

Positive Characteristics of  Leo Woman

• Affectionate, kindhearted and sincere, women governed by Leo have a deep love of children and make for excellent mothers who adore their homes...but when it comes to being domestic, they prefer being served rather than serving as mistress of the castle.

• Being involved with a female ruled by Leo will certainly enhance any mate's skills at courting and seduction...provided such mate possesses sufficient wisdom and stamina to survive the course.

• The Leo female possesses a flair for the dramatic and clearly has little use for the routine and ordinary. She tends to act as though she is always on stage, basking in the spotlight so everyone who is anyone is sure to be aware of her presence.

Negative Characteristics of Leo Woman

• This is a female who likes to be admired, but cannot abide a mate to chastise her for simply doing what comes naturally. Although she may appear to want to be won, it will be necessary for any potential partner to allow this woman to do the winning.

• She may want to be head of the house and at times, behave in a totally unreasonable fashion in order to get her own way. Still, she will listen to reason if her good heart and generosity are appealed to.

• If an individual would achieve true happiness with this woman, it will be necessary to display pride at her many accomplishments...and be proud of her on a personal level. She requires virtually constant flattery and devotion.

How to Handle Leo Woman

• Never ever must she be castigated or criticized in public...to do so mark the certain kiss of death for the relationship.

• Similarly, a partner must never try to deceive this woman in any way whatsoever. She possesses a high degree of honor that should never be trifled with...and should she find any mate unfaithful, then that mate is doomed to spend much time in the doghouse.

• For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any potential mate to be gallant, courteous and chivalrous.

Proud and domineering from time-to-time, it would not be wise to allow this woman to constantly get her own way. She desires a partner who is ambitious and well-respected in society...and she prefers traditional conformity.

Romantic, but often shy of displaying as much, the Leo female can be won with true old-fashioned love and chivalry.

Here are Positive and Negative Traits of a Leo Woman

Traits of Leo Woman

Leo woman is usually blessed with an almost stately appearance and can achieve great elegance...although she is not necessarily interested in clothes as articles of fashion. This female possesses a rather regal air, a sympathetic disposition and excellent social qualities.

As a sweetheart, this is a female who is proud, hard-to-get and expects much from any partner. As a long-term mate, she has the ability to be self-sacrificing and totally unselfish. As a mother, she tends to be overly conscientious on occasion, expecting the usual high standards from her children. 

 

Regardless, Leo woman will never lack for love or affection.

Here are other positive and negative traits of a Leo woman:

• She will lavish attention upon her loved ones with an attitude that is lush and generous in the extreme.

Negative Traits of a Leo Woman

• Because this female has such high standards in so many spheres of life, other people rarely meet her expectations.

• The Leo woman can show love, forgiveness and kindness to complete strangers or mere acquaintances and yet, may be critical and almost harsh to her loved ones if she feels they have failed her in some way.

• The woman ruled by Leo is a passionate soul who can easily be loyal and loving when in a secure relationship where she feels she is loved. However, she can become vindictive or bitter when she is scorned.

Still, this is not usually a source of worry to her unless the individual concerned is one with whom she is intimately involved. 

There is no doubt that the Leo woman expects a great deal of her family, but she is also prepared to give of her utmost in return.

Facts about Leo Lucky Number

Leo Lucky Number

Leo lucky number is one (also known as the Monad or God of All Numbers). One is masculine in nature and, when associated with Leo, resides in the Fifth House of Creative Expression and Social Popularity...the House of the Heart.

One is also associated with the Sun (Leo’s ruling “Planet”) one is the number of Divine Purpose, the number of Creation and the number of Unity. One is the beginning of all counting and the root of solitary forces. It is the symbol of identity, harmony and conservation, having no parts and being individual by nature.

The number one is rarely found in Northern mythological and runic references, although it does contain the first rune of all three Aetts, therefore making it a positive principle in theory.

Other mystical qualities of one (Leo’s lucky number)

One remains constantly stable and firm...it is the immutable number, the same until infinity. To the Greeks, this number represented Khaos, the primeval state of the universe prior to the separation into positive and negative.

One is representative of the beginning and the end, as well as being the symbol of Homo erectus, the only species to walk upright. This number may be found in images of standing stones and the upright staff.

In mathematical terms, if a number is multiplied by itself, the product is always a larger number and the square of a number is always greater than the sum of its addition to itself. However, in the case of one, the result of multiplying itself by itself is smaller than the result of adding it to itself.

One multiplied by one will always remain one, whereas when it is added to itself, it becomes two. Thus, by itself, one is not conscious of itself, but by mirroring in the other...the two...and the experience of duality, one does become conscious of itself.  Therefore, this number is symbolic of the state of wholeness, but is unaware of itself and possesses enormous inner potential to strive for realization.

The colors associated with the number one are all those within the yellow, orange and brown families. Its peak tends to be during the daylight hours, with its natural element being fire and its associated gems being rubies, topaz, yellow diamonds and amber.
