direction and within which astrological house. The entire
360 - degrees of the zodiac (all twelve signs) are divided
into these twelve sections.
House Cusps
The twelve astrological houses divide the circle of the
zodiac into twelve roughly-equal pie-shaped houses,
and each of these twelve houses, in most cases, has
one of the signs of the zodiac on what is called its
"Cusp." A house cusp marks the beginning of that
particular house. In the above diagram, we see the
house cusp for the 10th House. This house cusp is, as
you can see, in the zodiac sign of Virgo. In fact, as the
chart wheel shows, the 10th house cusp starts at 25-
degrees and 21 minutes of the zodiac sign Virgo, and
goes to 18-degrees and 32 minutes into the zodiac sign
Libra, which marks the end of the 10th house and the
beginning (the cusp) of the 11th house. House cusps
