Dad: Cap/Aqua Cusp(also a sociopath)

Cap traits:

Sees success as being doctor, lawyer, authority figure

Wants to "own" things and people -- materialistic. Money is very important.

Holds things over your head that he does for you

Loves Education/School

Loves old time black and white movies and photographs

Aqua traits:

Incredibly friendly/warm and then suddenly distant

Loves photography/video editing/abstract paintings - he stairs at them for hours in coffee shops

Likes concerts of weird/random almost hippy-like bands

On and off again relationships -- wants friendship more than romance

Wants stimulating social life

Wore a suit...with sandals...to my graduation.

Mom: Gemini/cancer cusp

Gemini traits:

Talks your head off for hours

Always on the phone or talking to someone

Impatient

Will switch the radio station if song does not catch her attention in the first 10-20 seconds

Cannot sit still through a movie no matter how involved or interested she is -- will get up several times

Cancer traits:

Sensitive!!!

MOODY!

Nurturer! "Adopted" most of my friends growing up. Cries very easily although mostly in front of me.

Sentimental -- I wish you could see her room. It's a typical cancer bedroom. She can make any place feel like home.

Creative and a great cook

Always wants to hug people -- can get two people's life's story while out running errands easily

Easily feels sympathy for others

My brother: Sag/Cap cusp

Sag traits:

Funny! Makes silly faces and noises, and would say things outloud in a public restaurant that would make everyone blush except him

Foot-in-mouth disease

Liked to skateboard and be outdoors especially when younger

Wanted independence more than me at an earlier age even though he was the younger brother

Tall forehead

Cap traits:

Depression/incredibly somber appearance most of the time

More conservative than meets the eye, believes in manners and severely dislikes rude people

Can really hold a grudge

HARD worker and very productive

Looked older than his age from the time he was 11

Me: Leo/Virgo Cusp

Leo traits:

Feel like I have a "special" calling in life I can't seem to ignore

Want to be seen as unique, different, or special -- MOSTLY by significant other. Will lose interest if he doesn't somehow see me as "different" from the rest.

I have a lot of pride and it can be injured and take a long time to recover -- but you'll probably never know

Idealized version of love(libra asc doesn't help)

Tender heart

Virgo traits:

If you've gotten this far, it should be evident I psychoanalyze the crap out of everything lol

Aware of all flaws -- especially within myself -- the voice in my head never shuts up. I end up punishing myself several times a day for not being "perfect" or reviewing my choices throughout the day cringing as I missed "perfection"

I look very young for my age. I have a very innocent look to me as well so I've been told.

Incredibly discriminating tastes especially when dating, if a guy cannot stimulate me intellectually than I will not date him. Having the key to my mind is having the key to my heart. Cannot be won over by flattery.

Writing, language, communication, and being detail-oriented is of extreme importance to me. Always carrying something to read when I was younger.

Teacher's pet when growing up

Run into the problem of not seeing the forest because of the trees

Pessimistic -- half glass full mentality a lot -- unfortunately

Researching subjects I am interested in until all the nitty gritty details are soaked up

Hate to waste anything

Will do what I should do rather than what I want to do because it's the "right" thing to do. If I don't, I can't really enjoy whatever I decided to do anyway.

Anxiety! Shy...nervous energy abound. Blush easily, especially when complimented. For some reason, it embarrasses me. Well, actually I embarrass easily period.

Have old fashioned views about sex for this modern era and have chosen to preserve my virginity until I find one of my soulmates Have had BFs and not started a sexual relationship with them holding onto my values.

I believe manners are of up-most importance

Brother accused me of being "mr. mom" growing up because I was so rigid when it came to following the rules and he hated my "logical" approach to all things -- especially when it came to feelings.

Very knowledgeable of herbs/supplements and take many of them. Happy when eating good things for diet(get an upset stomach with meat and sweets easily) and could be considered hypochondriac to some(although I do have some really serious health problems)

Systematic order when it comes to just about everything. I even know how I will eat my dinner(from least favorite to best item) and no, the food will not touch.

Wash my hands around ten times a day...some OCD tendencies when it comes to hygiene. Even if putting a soda can into recycles the tip of a finger barely touched the recycles bag and I just washed my hands, under the faucet they shall go! Family makes fun of me I am ridiculously thorough brushing my teeth.

Dry, sarcastic, witty(not me, others) sense of humor...

Will put off doing tasks because I know if I start I will exhaust myself until it's as "perfect" as it can be, and if it's not I will feel absolute torture until I make it 'right"

Constantly editing, "refining" things

Guess the only thing that isn't me when it comes to being a Virgo is I'm not on the floor scrubbing with a toothbrush or with a vacuum in my hand all the time. Or criticizing others for their flaws...

So, even though there are aspects in the charts probably adding to this kind of behavior, anyone think there's not anything to this "cusp" thing yet? Unless you don't believe in any form of Sun Sign astrology at all, I don't see how that could be.

Does he have any planets in Scorpio?

Yeah...the Pisces Moon could account for having a real thing for water women.

also

strong Pluto influence could account for being Scorpio-like

a strong transneptunian influence overall that includes Pluto fellow big transneptunian objects could account for being Scorpio like too,
especially Orcus and Ixion which orbit like Pluto for they have 2:3 orbial resonance with Neptune. They are classed as plutinos.

also

November 23rd, Sun is actually in the Constellation of Scorpio and not in the Constellation of Sagittarius even though it's in Sagittarius in the tropical zodiac

I can't help think that constellations do have an influence on us and not just the tropical zodiac has influence on us

I also think certain aspects and a strong placement of a certain planet could account for the cusp thing
This could even include the declinations, right ascension,and the nodes. They are all relevant to Astrology because they are part of Astronomy. Without Astronomy, there would be no Astrology.

the cusp thing makes me question Astrology

when it comes to the Forer/Barnum Effect which is an argument that critics use against Astrology.

Benedict Moon, yeah that may be true but most of the planets that I have are introverted (maybe ruling out capricorn). But I tend to be really extroverted at School and try getting along with everyone, however in class its a different story and I'm very disciplined but whenever I'm in the hallways I tend to be really extroverted and outgoing...would you like to see my planet configuration?

Your Jupiter trine your Ascendant and Mercury as well as sextile your Moon, and that could indicate an outgoing,expansive type of personality.
Your Mercury trine Ascendant indicates that your communications is in harmony with how you approach life,and that can indicate being able to communicate well with others.
Your Moon sextile Ascendant indicates that your emotions work with how you approach life, and that you can be sensitive to others.

With those aspects, you can gift for being sociable and outgoing, especially with the Jupiter aspects.

Your Sun trine Pluto is intense self expression, but there is harmony and ease involved. It can be great for being empowered,confident,and charismatic.

You have Sun oppose Uranus, and that can indicate independent self expression. That can be good with self expression because it can counter any inhibitions that your chart shows like your t-square of Mars square Venus-Saturn opposition.

Your Mars in opposition to Midheaven could indicate an assertive type. That can be good for being expressive due to a fiery nature.

If I knew your birthdata, I'd look deeper into your chart looking at declinations and the planetary nodes. Aspects to the nodes of Mercury,Venus,and Jupiter could factor into being outgoing and sociable.

There are even midpoint pictures that can factor too.

But after a look, I pretty much agree with Raymond. In addition, I'll add that your Sun-Uranus Opposition fall across the 5th/11th axis....two very outgoing houses. If I'm reading your chart correctly, you also have your Capricorn Moon in the 11th...making you naturally disposed to groups of people.
