My Gemini-Cancer Cusp Might Explain Why I'm So Magical

Why be just one when you can be both?

I don't know if this is obvious to anyone, but I am a huge astrology fan.

I see birth charts as instruction manuals-they help us understand what makes people tick.

One of the first things I want to know about new people is their zodiac sign. My favorite signs (other than my own) are Libra and Leo!

My sign is a little more complicated. I was born on June 21st, which is the first day of Cancer. However, I'm not a full Cancer.

Given my date of birth, I'm part of the Gemini-Cancer cusp, which is known as the "cusp of magic".

I very much have traits of both signs.

I'm extremely extroverted and talkative like a Gemini, but sometimes I prefer to be quiet and calm like a Cancer.

I'm childlike like a Gemini. I have the energy of an 8-year old after a round of Pixie sticks, but other times I'm mothering and nurturing like a Cancer.

Most Cancers are home-bodies, but I can't stand being in the house for too long. I'll go stir-crazy. I need to be out and about all the time like a Gemini.

I'm blunt and straightforward like a Gemini, but I'm also sensitive like a Cancer and can sometimes be a sugar-coater.

People on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer tend to have a dual nature that can seem conflicting sometimes as these signs are extremely different.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, while Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Cancers are known to be the most emotional of the Zodiac, which never made sense for me as I am not a very emotional person (even though I'm very sensitive. Yes, there is a difference).

This could be due to my Gemini nature-logical and intelligent-balancing out my Cancer nature.

The Gemini-Cancer cusp is the perfect example of the ambivert-one who is both an extrovert and an introvert. We are able to blend in with our surroundings no matter where we are.

On my Gemini side, I want to socialize with everyone and mix in with the group, but my Cancer side wants to feel the vibes of my surroundings to determine which side of me will make an appearance.

Both signs are extremely creative, but my Gemini side tends to be fickle and not follow through. However, my Cancer side is extremely loyal to anything/anyone it loves.

Therefore, I harness my Gemini ideas and use my Cancer side to bring these ideas to life.

This has helped me especially with my writing as my Gemini side comes up with a million ideas a second and my Cancer side dedicates the time and effort to make it happen.

These cusp babies make the perfect lover. We are energetic and spontaneous while also being loyal and nurturing. We wear our hearts on our sleeves and are not afraid to go above and beyond to show you how much we love you.

We will take you on numerous adventures and make fantastic memories with you. We will reassure you through our words and actions how important you are to us.

If you're lucky enough to have a Gemini-Cancer cusp baby in your life, cherish every second of it. We are a rare grouping that come around once in a lifetime!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
