A cusp is the point when a sun sign begins. {from the Latin word cuspis, meaning point}

The consensus among astrologers is that a cusp is within the first five days of a sign and the last five days of a sign.

If you were born on a cusp you will be under the influence of the cusp sign AND your sun sign. But your sun sign will have the stronger influence.
