The Leo-Virgo Cusp

The Leo-Virgo cusp blends Leo's confident creativity with Virgo's sharp, detail-oriented mind. You shine while also doing the work — charismatic yet precise, expressive yet analytical.

Creative, hardworking, organised and warm. At their best, Leo-Virgo cusp people combine the finest of both signs; at their trickiest, can be self-critical, perfectionistic or torn between ego and humility.

Because the Leo-Virgo cusp blends two signs, you can match with the best partners of either — signs that suit both your fire (Leo) and earth (Virgo) sides. As a cusp isn't an official sign, compare full birth charts for the most accurate read.

Astrologically, no — the Sun is always in one sign or the other on any given moment, so you have a single sun sign, not a blend. But sign-change dates shift slightly each year, so if you're born near the boundary you may genuinely be either sign. People born on the cusp often relate to traits of both, which is why cusp lore is so popular.

Use a sun sign calculator with your exact birth year, date and place. Because the Sun changes sign on a slightly different date each year, only an exact calculation confirms whether you're Leo or Virgo.

Roughly August 19 – 25, though the exact boundary shifts a little year to year.
