I honestly don't remember the term...Haunted probably knows...However, read this....
Astrology Cusp Signs
First of all, what is a cusp?
Answer: It is the first 5 degrees (approx 5 days before and 5 days after) when the new Sun Sign is coming into being and the old one is ending. The cusps, or blending of the signs, are more or less occupying the same time, (or space if you prefer). The cusp strength is greatest at the midpoint (or overlapping) of this merging of the signs and the effects gradually diminish toward the end of this period, at the waning of the former sign.
What does this mean for you?
Answer: You may find that some of your personality quirks or strengths are directly related to the sign that has just past or is just beginning. The lesser qualities of one sign can be offset by the mitigating aspect of the other that bears on the same personality flaw or pending events, (or vice versa). When you are born on a Cusp it is easier to adjust yourself if you realize there are more influences at work in your life than just a single Zodiac sign.
Being born on the Cusp makes you a unique personality, with your ruling signs and influences bringing anomalies into your personality and emotions, so when reading the GENERALIZED Zodiac explanations as found here, or in books, ALWAYS read the reference for BOTH signs and you will see what I mean.
Taurus...
Can be self indulgent and stubborn but with all that the Taurean makes a good person to depend on, following through with any promises to help or, in matters of family responsibilities, seeing that their needs are met over and beyond what one would expect. The taurean is possessive and greedy to a great extent and it will usually show up in dietary habits if it is not readily apparent in human relationships. What a Taurean owns, belongs to Taurus and NO ONE ELSE! It is the sign that is closer to the earth than all the others and therefore the Taurus may have to battle the baser urges more than most.
The main possession of a Taurus is their sense of oneness and harmony with the earth. When you have gotten in tune with this inner sense then you will no longer feel harassed into trying to gain all the money and possessions you want just to supplement a feeling that, hereto fore, you were not able to comprehend. You have a positive effect on other peoples lives due to your sense of calmness and inner peace that acts as an inspiration. You have an earthly wisdom that is much sought after which makes you a popular person with your peers.
There is a darker side to your earthly wisdom and oneness that is your most dangerous side if not kept under control and mastered. These traits are , inertia, sluggishness and 'the beast'....grossness which comes about as a result of the fear of changes or of things you think you cannot handle. When you are overtaken with these fears you quickly attract those that will irritate you to the point of making the changes, fear or no fear and it is then that stability reasserts itself.
Ultimately you must decide on, claim, and hold to your highest values, discarding all those things in your life that is of lesser lights. This way will you be able to meet the challenges laid out for you by the stars on the day you were born. You must root out and overthrow the tendencies of greed and jealousy as vibrating to a higher level leaves no place in your life for such qualities.
Headstrong Taurus...
Who smiles through life-except when crossed?
Who knows, or thinks he knows, the most?
Who loves good things: baked, boiled or roast?
AND...Aries...
Aries is the trail blazer and the pathfinder, they are great starters of things but they soon hand it over to someone else to finish while they search for new worlds to conquer! That is their role in life and the reason that the sun is exalted in the Aries sign as it is here the will is given free rein to express itself. Aries are born leaders and teachers, their teaching is felt more in the relationships they have with others, for example, getting people to see their own actions in a new way or a different light. Everyone benefits who has associations with the higher, more evolved type of Arian.
Force as being a part of the Arian nature, means that you should not be afraid of being forceful when circumstances dictate that you should be. If there have been circumstances in your life which made you a victim of force at an early age then you may see fear creeping in and, if you for this reason, do not allow yourself to exhibit your true nature it will lead to suppression and inner turmoil. Suppressing the natural urges, especially when needed to right a wrong to yourself or someone else can also lead to guilt and actual, bodily ailments.
You absolutely love a challenge that will stir you to action. The monetary rewards will not be as attractive as the inner satisfaction you get from meeting and overcoming these challenges and leaving your opponents in your heel dust. And, Aries, you were also that weird little kid in school that couldn't wait to take a test to prove you were more capable than your classmates. You always have to be the best at what you do, anything less just does not make any sense to you; you will not accept your own excuses even though you let the world believe them. Arians make very good friends and will be ready and able to help you solve your problems with the same zeal and conviction that he attacks his own.
Aries is an extremist, physical, mental, and most assuredly, emotional. But if you are not careful you could go too far and become a social outcast, in which case you would be extremely lonely. ; You are the champion of the underdog and are known to climb up on the soap box anytime or place. You inject new life into your surroundings as you are always emerging into life, spurring others on to come out of the darkness and into the light. Aries is a survivor and even during adversity or perhaps starvation you are apt to ask yourself, "It's not too bad yet, when will the bad times start?".
Tempermental Aries...
Who works from morn to set of sun?
And never likes to be outdone?
Whose walk is almost like a run?
Who? Aries!

This attitude is generally reflective of both Aries AND Taurus

This, Of course is scientifically true...I myself, view astrology as a hobby...Just something to have fun with...I am amazed however, by the way in which so much of what is written, does tend to be correct regarding a person's sign and their personality...and quite often, their compatibility with other signs/personalities:cool:
