Learn about Cancer-Leo Cusp Signs and discover what happens when the Element of Water mixes with the Element of Fire
Characteristics of Cancer Leo Cusp Signs
Cusp dates: July 19 to July 23
Known as: The Cusp of Oscillation
Firstly, what does “Born on the Cusp” Mean? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary the definition of “cusp” is:
the dividing line between two very different things
So, in this case the Cusp is the dividing line between the Zodiac Signs of Cancer and Leo. The personalities of the Crab and the Lion are very different, as is the case of all the star signs who follow each other in the Zodiac Wheel.
As someone who is herself Born on the Cusp (Taurus-Gemini), I know first-hand how this can lead to a lot of internal conflict. Read on to see what I mean!
How the Birth Date influences those born on the Cancer-Leo Cusp
Through July 21 or 22 the Sun stays in Cancer and moves into Leo on July 23, sometimes July 24.
So if you were born during the cusp that occurs in the three days between those dates, it can make for an interesting personality.
The Ruling Elements of Cancer-Leo are Water & Fire
Will the water douse the flames?
This combination of Elements has the potential to either produce a delicious steam or a situation where water will douse the flames.
Negative Traits of Cancer-Leo
Cancer Leo Cusp Signs may sometimes find it hard to live with the inner turmoil created by the conflicting characteristics of the Crab and the Lion. Cancer is gentle and sensitive, while Leo is one of the dramatic signs of the Zodiac. There will be a lot of ups and downs to cope with.
The opposing elements of Fire and Water can result in Cancer/Leos being shy one minute and then totally outgoing the next. This can lead to others thinking that whichever way you go, you are totally self-absorbed as you veer from ultra-sensitive to totally insensitive.
So you have a constant battle to try to level out between the two!
Positive Aspects of The Cusp of Oscillation
On the plus side, this Zodiac combination makes for very creative people with a very caring nature. Both make great parents and traditional family life is very important to them.
Both Sun Signs have a natural ability to act and their love of the spotlight means that many Cancer and Leo combinations can be found on the stage and screen.
They also have a strong ability to see projects through to the finish. Leos are natural leaders and Cancerians are natural organisers – a winning combination, particularly as both tend to be popular.
Friendly, sociable, loyal, fun-loving and romantic, they live life with enthusiasm, which makes them a lot of friends.

Thank you 🙂
THANKS…….this is the exact me i have ever heard…
I have lived my *WHOLE* live outside the box of so-called normal. I have been accused of vast daydreaming, intentional malice, self-centeredness, needing therapy, etc, etc. Hard to control or contain the vast mood changes, even explosions, at times. What we all “do not, ever” truly consider – is; HOW were we raised, grew up. These do live indelible impressions on our minds & soul even if the outer body heals and shows no damage.
ONLY to find this barely 5 yrs ago! Not time enough to change the tornado path of my youth. BUT – THIS IS “SO” ME! I now know why the constant, continual warring inside was/is due to the daily striving of two very different sets characteristics that I was born with. Like oil & vinegar – my two don’t play nice.
I’m a Leo cancer cusp and I feel the same way dude…. It’s been a crazy ride.
Yep. So, basically we Cancer/Leos are screwed. Thanks for the memo universe! lol
