What does it mean to be born on the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp?

Are zodiac cusps real?
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.
How do I know my real sun sign if I'm on the cusp?
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 Sagittarius or Capricorn.
