If you were born between August 19 and August 25, on the Leo-Virgo Cusp, you are a natural leader with a global vision and the capacity to command a room. You were born on the Cusp of Exposure, and if you strike the correct balance, you’ll be successful!
You are affected by the Sun, Leo’s ruling planet, and Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet, if you were born on this Cusp. You’re enormous, bright, and shine brightly over everyone, but you can also process, think about, and discuss the smallest aspects. You’re being pushed by two powerful forces to think big and act big, so finding a balance between the two is crucial.
You have the fire sign’s passion and intensity, as well as the patience and endurance of an Earth sign (Leo) (Virgo). These two energy can be difficult to combine, but at your best, you are a tenacious individual who follows through on undertakings and ambitions. You have a frantic energy coursing through you that may be stabilized and directed, propelling you up the success ladder.
You’re fiery, intellectual, and fearless if you were born on the Leo-Virgo axis. Your childish magnetism may attract anyone, and you are devoted to those you trust. It’s surprising that anyone could match or exceed your lofty expectations, but those who do are rewarded with your praise and respect. As a result, you’re a fantastic leader! People want to impress you as long as your achievements are graceful and modest.
While your commanding energy may inspire others, you run the risk of being overpowering and controlling because you were born on the Cusp of Exposure. You must maintain a delicate balance, and if you are thrown off in any manner, you may exhibit your theatrical, know-it-all side. Yes, you’re bright and perceptive, but it’s up to you to be humble and delicate about it. Otherwise, you can lose the respect you’ve fought so hard for if you go around correcting others and flaunting your huge head!

Is August 22nd Leo or Virgo?
Every year on August 22 or 23, the sun moves out of Leo and into Virgo, so if your birthday falls on or near those days, you may identify with the characteristics of a Leo-Virgo cusp sign. However, the notion that persons born on the first or last days of a zodiac sign’s season are “cusp babies” (those who have a mix of both signs’ energies) is a fallacy. It has no astrological foundation! This is due to the fact that planets can only be in one zodiac sign at a time. So, even if you were born on the last day of Leo season, you are still a pure Leo and not a Leo-Virgo cusp. I don’t want to shatter any cusp baby bubbles, but I’m here to spill the cosmic tea as an astrologer.
However, just because cusp signs aren’t genuine doesn’t mean someone born near the end of an astrological season can’t feel like a mix of two signs. There are many reasons why you may feel the influence of both signs in your personality if you were born on the Leo-Virgo cusp. Reading your birth chart will help you figure out why. Mercury and Venus, for example, always travel close to the sun in the zodiac, so if you’re a Leo, one of your personal planets could be in Virgo, and vice versa. This would imbue you with attributes from both the Leo and Virgo zodiac signs, making Leo-Virgo cusp traits crucial to grasp but not directly owing to your birthday’s location to the Leo-Virgo cusp.
Let’s talk about the junction of Leo and Virgo energy now. Every year at the end of August, the sun changes signs from Leo to Virgo, signaling the beginning of the final countdown to autumn. The Leo season occurs in the middle of summer, and this hot atmosphere is all about maximizing our passions while basking in the heat. However, as we prepare to shift into the fall, Virgo season is more about cleaning up our lives and getting organized. The zodiac’s ascension tells a story, and the intensity of each sign builds on the previous, mirroring our annual cycle through the seasons. All zodiac signs will feel the energetic shift as the sun crosses the Leo-Virgo cusp each year. That is why understanding Leo-Virgo cusp features is beneficial to everyone, not just those born with both influences in their horoscope.
While there are no cusp signs in astrology, you can still have a lot of combined Leo and Virgo zodiac energy in your chart and if that’s the case, you can identify with some of the attributes of a Leo-Virgo cusp.
What is the name of the Virgo-Leo cusp?
Leo is the fifth and Virgo is the sixth zodiac sign in the zodiac belt. Virgos are born between the dates of August 23rd and September 22nd, while Leos are born between July 23rd and August 22nd. However, there is a small group of people who fall on the Leo Virgo axis. The Leo-Virgo cusp, also known as the Cusp of Exposure, signifies that people born during this time have a combination of Leo and Virgo personality qualities. If you’ve always felt like your personality doesn’t fit your zodiac sign, it could be because you were born on the Leo Virgo cusp dates.
