The sun actually changes signs at an exact time and having a birth chart drawn up from the date and time of birth will give the best answer as to which is someone’s particular sun sign. Even so, for those born on the cusp, many will show a blend of energies of the sign the sun has just passed through and the one just beginning. This is an example of how the Sun is interpretted in astrology when it is on the cusp of two signs.
