Practical but progressive, grounded yet dreamy—if these contrasting traits resonate with you, you might be a Capricorn Aquarius cusp! People born between January 17 to 22, or during the transition from Capricorn to Aquarius, might feel the influence of the ambitious sea goat and the eccentric water bearer. We consulted Stina Garbis, expert psychic astrologer, to learn what a Capricorn Aquarius cusp is like, who they’re compatible with in the zodiac, and what they want in a partner.Born between January 17-22, this cusp is driven and creative. Nicknamed the Cusp of Mystery and Imagination, this sign combines the opposing energies of grounded and disciplined Capricorn with idealistic and unpredictable Aquarius. These contrasting traits give the Capricorn Aquarius cusp a unique outlook, creative edge, and alluring air like no other sign. With Capricorn’s raw ambition and Aquarius’ innovative spirit, this cusp is a visionary achiever who makes their big dreams a reality. This cusp’s mysterious energy comes from their planetary rulers. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and responsibility, while Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of progress, originality, and rebellion. Each sign’s element also makes this cusp intriguing. Capricorn is an earth sign who is practical, stable, and logical while Aquarius is an air sign who is analytical, clever, and social. Some people born at the end of Capricorn season or the beginning of Aquarius season feel like they don’t fit their sign. This is because they were born during the signs’ transition and share traits with both Caps and Aquas!
Strengths: Determined, creative, entertaining, idealistic, witty, empathetic
Weaknesses: Detached, chaotic, selfish, aloof, critical, judgmental
Born on the Capricorn-Aquarius cusp, you are blessed with the drive for success and the gift of creativity. Normally these two traits might clash, but for you these traits allow you to dream big and envision positive change. You can easily put yourself in others’ shoes and see the world from different perspectives. This also makes you a kind and generous friend — when you take the time to listen.
Because you have your amazing imagination and creativity to keep you entertained, you may close yourself off in your own world and feel like you don’t need others to keep you company. You enjoy being alone with your thoughts, but this can make your loved ones feel unwanted — which is a shame because they are your greatest supporters! Remember that teamwork makes the dream work and if you don’t put a little effort into your relationships every now and then, they may not be there anymore when you need them.

Ambitious
A Capricorn Aquarius cusp is laser-focused on making their future better and brighter.

Creative
With Capricorn and Aquarius’ contrasting traits, this cusp has a completely unique perspective. They see inventive solutions and colorful possibilities where others see problems. While this cusp spends a lot of time with their head in the clouds, Capricorn’s practicality tends to ground Aquarius’ dreaminess. So, they express their creativity in tangible ways, like painting, writing, and building.
Idealistic
If there’s one thing a Capricorn Aquarius cusp is after, it’s making the world a better place. With Capricorn’s great sense of responsibility and Aquarius’ social justice spirit, these cusps are true humanitarians. They put their time and energy into helping others, whether they’re on the front lines building homes for people in need, raising money for causes, or educating others about injustices. A Capricorn Aquarius cusp can look serious and reserved on the outside, but on the inside, they’re big softies. They have huge hearts and are deeply empathetic. Capricorn helps reign in Aquarius’ bold and eccentric nature, helping this cusp enact change that’s progressive and doesn’t alienate others.
Reliable
If a friend, family member, or stranger is in need, a Capricorn Aquarius cusp is always there for them. Aquarians are incredibly intellectual and analytical, so they’re always down to help others work through their problems. Coupled with Capricorn’s deep sense of loyalty and commitment, this cusp is incredibly supportive and generous. The combined earth and air signs make this cusp trustworthy and friendly. Capricorn’s earthy nature makes them dependable and stable while Aquarius’ airy spirit makes them social and communicative.
Entertaining
Entertaining
Witty jokes, sarcastic remarks, and deadpan deliveries are second nature to a Capricorn Aquarius cusp. These cusps are great conversationalists and storytellers who easily keep friends and lovers captivated and entertained. With Capricorn’s dark, self-deprecating humor and Aquarius’ zany theories, you never know what’s going to come out of their mouth!
DetachedBecause Capricorn Aquarius cusps like to spend their time dreaming up ideas and accomplishing their goals, they can come off as aloof and even selfish to their friends and family. While they care deeply for others, they can forget to keep in touch with their loved ones and tend to disregard pleasant small talk with acquaintances. If you’re a Capricorn Aquarius cusp, make time in your busy schedule to check in with your family and friends. For instance, send them a daily text, ask them to hang out during the week, or plan monthly video calls.
A Capricorn Aquarius cusp’s fierce ambition often comes with very high standards. They just want things to go according to their vision and plan, so they can be critical and nitpicky with their friends, partner, and coworkers. If you find yourself judging and criticizing others, pause and focus on the positives of the situation. Acknowledging someone’s strengths and accepting that mistakes sometimes happen can help you stop being critical.
This cusp is compatible with Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. These passionate fire signs are drawn to a Capricorn Aquarius cusp’s ambition and captivated by their unique way of looking at the world. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius seek out thrills and adventures, so they love that this cusp keeps them on their toes. The fire signs help ignite this cusp’s drive while inspiring them to open up emotionally, too. The air signs of Libra and Gemini also make great matches for this cusp. They can keep up with this cusp’s quick thoughts and intellectual conversations and don’t bat an eye at their radical ideas. This cusp is attracted to independent and passionate people. A Capricorn Aquarius cusp loves their freedom, so they’re drawn to potential partners who respect their space to be creative and follow their dreams. If the person they have their eye on is also imaginative, has their own passion in life, and can keep up a stimulating conversation, this cusp is smitten! In the bedroom, this cusp loves to experiment and keep things fresh and exciting. They like to get creative between the sheets, whether they’re trying out new positions, fantasies, or toys. Both Capricorn and Aquarius can be slow to open up. If you want this sign to know you’re interested, psychic astrologer Stina Garbis recommends to “start by befriending [them]. Show interest in [their] topics of study and ask [them] to explain some of [their] ideas to you.”
To keep this independent cusp interested, Stina Garbis advises to “maintain a life of your own to prove that you are a high quality, self-sufficient and confident person.”
The Cusp of Exposure (Leo/Virgo) – August 19-25
Ambitious.
Leo and Virgo are both ambitious, but their ambition manifests differently. Virgo is diligent, hardworking, and humble, content to plug away until they’ve excelled past their peers. Leo, meanwhile, takes pride in their work and isn’t afraid to show off a little because they love being the center of attention. Therefore, a Leo-Virgo cusp will have the ambition, drive, showmanship, and hardworking instincts of both signs. Virgo is associated with the 6th house in astrology, which governs routines and work. Leo is associated with the 5th house, which governs romance, creativity, and passion projects.
That’s why Leo-Virgo cusps tend to be able to strike a healthy balance between work and home life. They understand that working and playing hard are related; it’s important to do both! Leo-Virgo cusps have perfectionistic tendencies, and while that’s not inherently a bad thing, it can also make them overly critical of both themselves and others. Leos are regal and want only the best, while Virgos are extremely detail-oriented and selective. That means Leo-Virgo cusps have high expectations of almost everything in life and may criticize or demean things that seem less than perfect to them. Tip: Imperfection is natural. If you’re a Leo-Virgo cusp, you don’t need to hold yourself or your loved ones to an impossible standard. Try to relax a little, be patient, and understand that it’s okay to make mistakes here and there.

Leo-Virgo cusps make passionate and devoted partners.
Bold, romantic Leo is all about grand gestures and showing love through physical affection. In fact, Leo is often considered the most affectionate sign in the zodiac! Meanwhile, practical, humble Virgo gravitates toward showing love through caring acts of service. Leo-Virgo cusps are loyal partners who understand the importance of being there for loved ones, but they also know how to sweep someone off their feet and keep the romance alive!
Leo-Virgo partners are generally interested in committed relationships. Because they’re so loyal, they want partners who can return that loyalty with the same intensity.
Leo-Virgo cusps are compatible with other earth and fire signs. Fire signs Aries and Sagittarius are passionate and energetic like Leo and will understand a Leo-Virgo cusp’s drive. Meanwhile, earth signs Taurus and Capricorn relate to Virgo’s practicality and hardworking attitude, so they’ll understand a Leo-Virgo cusp’s ambition and dedication to their career. That’s why a partner with a fire or earth sun sign is likely most compatible with a Leo-Virgo cusp. A particularly compatible partner might have both fire and earth signs on their chart, like someone with a Capricorn sun and Aries moon placement.
Alternatively, a Leo-Virgo cusp may be compatible with other fire and earth cusp signs, like people with an Aries Taurus cusp. Want to attract a Leo-Virgo cusp? Offer them compliments and give them your undivided attention to satisfy their inner Leo. To impress their Virgo side, be honest and open. Ask them for help (since Virgo loves being of service) and attract them by being organized and punctual.
Strengths: Hardworking, passionate, discriminating, positive, success-driven and honest.
Weaknesses: Critical, antisocial, manipulative, stubborn, quarrelsome and melodramatic.
How Leo and Virgo energy work together: Leo’s flair for drama and Virgo’s down to earth practicality don’t always mix well. These cuspers need to be careful of living a life of extremes — either bold and loud or silent and secretive. But if they can strike a balance between their extroverted and introverted sides, they will master the rare ability to know exactly when to speak up and when to remain silent.
What they love: Getting behind a good cause. Leo is a loving and natural born leader, while Virgo is hardworking, detail oriented and devoted to helping others. Together this is a persuasive cusp combination that is happiest when rallying a group of people in support of a great cause. And know this: They will succeed!
What they need: Intimacy. It won’t come easy for these cuspers, who value secrets and privacy above all else, but they really need to have people in their lives who know them well and love them for exactly who they are.
