Astrological Definition
The Leo-Cancer cusp represents individuals born on the transition between Cancer (June 21 - July 22) and Leo (July 23 - August 22), typically between July 19-25. This unique blend combines Cancer's emotional depth with Leo's fiery charisma, creating a personality that oscillates between private sensitivity and public expression.
