Leo Virgo Cusp – Meaning, Compatibility, and Personality
Dates: August 19th until August 25th
The Leo Virgo cusp, which is commonly also known as the cusp of exposure.

This is when on the Zodiac wheel the signs change from Leo to Virgo. This happens between August 19th and 25th.
People that are born between these two dates seem to have an energy that goes from wanting tranquility to wanting to be recognized.

The Virgo aspect of them is always on the lookout for stillness in the water of life. They want a life that is full of tranquility and serenity.
On the other side of things, the Leo aspect of them is always on the lookout for acknowledgment and appreciation from other people.
So it’s very important for them to work within themselves to find a happy medium.
When they look inside of themselves and find that middle ground they can push ahead in life using the creative and inventive energy that’s inside of them.
This energy will help them accomplish and pursue a lot of the projects that they look forward to completing in their day-to-day life.
The powers that are inside of them are almost quite opposite from each other, so they really need to take the time to work within themselves and integrate both of those powers in conjunction, to create the energy that will work together as a cohesive unit and not as something that works against them.

Other Cusp Facts

Good morning everyone
I was born August 25,1983 and was told I was a Virgo but every time I would read my horoscope or any information regarding Virgo I would think to myself that’s not me or none of this resembles me maybe one or two traits but never the whole thing. So then I heard about being a cusp I looked it up and within the first sentence of my reading I was like whoa ok now this makes sense fire/earth sign no wonder I’m so confused and so all over with personalities lol
I was born 8/22 Leo Virgo and I had to deal with extrovert & introvert now for 75 years. I’m getting better at it. I have more knowledge to help me with it. Love,Nancy
Leo/Virgo cusp born Aug. 22nd at 10:47 at night. Virgo is my
Sun sign surprisingly, with my long thick blonde wavy hair most people assume the Leo automatically, gold being my color and pretense that doesn’t go unnoticed. Meanwhile I’m hiding behind my hair with the mentality, if I can’t see them- they can’t see me. I love nice tasteful things but am a true earth worshipper, loving the beach, trees, being outdoors.
i am born on august 23 and thats when Virgo starts but, when people would read my horoscopes to me they wouldnt quite fit in with me, but then i would read the Leo one and then that would apply better. but now i finally understand the pull between the both. Thanks for making this more clear cause i couldnt understand what was “wrong”. Made me understand the way that i am now being an extreme introvert but also can be an extrovert at times
The information on the page may be contradicting to some. At the top, the dates are listed as August; however, under the “Leo Virgo Cusp” header the first sentence states we’re born in September. Just a heads up to the author.
thanks for pointing that out :)
My husband is a Leo/Virgo and I am an Aquarius/Pisces. We are opposites in so many ways, but I think that’s why we’re so good together and we’ve been together over 25 years!
Mine is Leo sun virgo moon but I was born in May yep so this is why my life is twisted
