Definition:
In astrology, a "cusp" is an imaginary line in the zodiac between one "house" and another. Thus, if a planet is on the "cusp" of Taurus, that means it can be located on the dividing line between the region of the sky which is part of the sign Aries and the region which is part of the sign Taurus. Astrologers do not agree on just how a cusp should be interpreted. Some think that it represents the strongest portion of a house's influence. Some think that a cusp shares influences from both relevant houses.

Skepticism & Critical Thinking
This is the main index for issues dealing with skepticism, critical thinking, logic and arguments. The first section is Critical Thinking itself - how to think about claims and arguments you hear, how to critique arguments, and how to formulate your own arguments such that they are more likely to be sound and valid. The second section is about Skeptical Investigations - the practical application of the critical thinking skills covered in the first section. Here you will find critiques of things like astrology, alternative medicine, parapsychology, the New Age and more.
