Thus, remaining in touch with reality is important for Gemini/Cancer subjects and they need to find friends and partners who are more extroverted by nature in order to provide an essential link to the world. Such detachment will stunt the personal and spiritual development of these natives which could, later in life, be perceived by them as a sign of failure. Indeed, there is a danger here for these cuspians to isolate themselves from the society around them and retreat into an unproductive dreamworld. An invitation to visit this highly personal world is more often the giving of a true gift or the reflection of a desire to share, rather than a sign of ostentation or need for sociability. If the Gemini/Cancer native does allow another to share his or her living space, then such implies immense trust and a great deal of respect for the other person. They often fare best when they are able to work from home and will frequently set up such a home as a type of retreat or sanctuary. These cuspians tend to be rather private people who are far from eager to grant others access to their inner world. They possess the knack of entering the hearts of those they love and a reluctance to relinquish that position, even when separations are necessary. Not ones to be easily upset, Gemini/Cancer natives inspire confidence by way of sympathy, concern and a willingness to help. Thus, when an appeal is made to the emotions of others, it is done in a detached and thoughful manner. Falling within the influence of both Gemini and Cancer, these cuspians are, in fact, a rather interesting blend of logic and feeling. The more aggresive of these cuspians are frequently well aware of their powers of persuasion and may employ such power without any qualms whatsoever in order to get their own way, even though others might be hurt in the process.īlessed with charm and magnetism, Gemini/Cancer subjects can be remarkably cool characters possessed with a useful objectivity, and their reasoning abilities may well prove to be an effective foil to deep emotions. However, by virtue of the inherent defensive instinct associated with this cusp combination, even the most mild of these natives will be inclined to gently lay down emotional guidelines that should not be overstepped. Such individuals do possess a rather sweetly innocent charm and need to be wary of being imposed upon. Easily seduced, most of these cuspians have the ability to enchant those around them…both consciously and unconsciously. Many Gemini/Cancer subjects prefer anonymity in their careers, although there can also be more aggresive natives of this cusp who become assertive as they mature and have no problem in letting the world know who they are. These are individuals who can wholeheartedly throw themselves into devotional activities and often appear to be mild, even self-effacing characters.

Romantic and inspirational, these natives often employ their talents and energies in the service of a higher purpose…family, religion, philosophy, arts and political or social causes, for example. The Gemini/Cancer cusp combination, also known as the Cusp of Magic, corresponds symbolically to the period of human life at around the age of twenty-one. Interested in heredity and ancestors, this is often reflected in a desire to care for relatives and propagate the family line. Anxious to gain public favor, these cuspians generally succeed by virtue of their great tact and versatility. They dislike work which is perceived to be laborious and the inherent shrewdness here often enables Gemini/Cancer natives to attain the “world’s goods” without a great deal of physical or mental effort on their part. These cuspians possess a large degree of brilliance and influence, and tend to control those around them.

Individuals born on the cusp of Gemini (the third Sign of the Zodiac) and Cancer (the fourth Sign of the Zodiac) are ruled by both Mercury and the Moon. 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. 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. 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.
