"I'm a Scorpio-Sagittarius cusp" is something you'll hear fairly often. It sounds intuitively right — if you're born near the boundary between two signs, shouldn't you carry qualities of both? The answer, according to how astrology actually works, is: not through
You opened a free birth chart calculator. You got a wheel with glyphs, a list of placements, and maybe a generic paragraph about your Moon. You scrolled, you read, and you still don't know whether to take the job, leave the relationship, or move to Lisbon. That'
