Yes, "cusps" in the dental sense (like Talon cusps) are considered relatively rare, affecting a small percentage of the population (less than 1% to 6%), while "cusps" in astrology (being born on the edge of two zodiac signs) are a popular concept but not mathematically real in strict astrology, though some astrologers find meaning in the transitional period. Dental talon cusps are extra extensions on teeth, usually incisors, and are more common in permanent teeth and men, whereas astrological cusps refer to birthdays near sign changes, which some people use to describe transitional personalities, though technically one's Sun sign is fixed, say sources.
Talon cusps are rare. They're thought to affect 0.04 to 8 percent of the population, according to a case report in the Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology Journal (OMPJ). A cusp can develop on a baby tooth (also known as primary teeth) but more commonly develops on a permanent tooth.
People born on the cusp of a sign often feel that they possess traits and characteristics of both zodiac signs they were born under. These people are believed to embody the qualities of both zodiac signs, creating a unique blend of astrological energy.
Here's the ranking of signs from rarest to most common, using the Ophiuchus model:
Since the equivalent periods of other naked-eye planet pairs are all under 900 days, this makes great conjunctions the rarest.
Not all conjunctions are equal. Benefic planets (like Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Moon) generally uplift each other, while malefic planets (like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) may create struggles or delays.
The Rarest Zodiac Placements (Only 1% Have This)
Leo. Leo is one of the most outgoing zodiac signs of the bunch, which is a huge factor in what makes them so flirtatious. People are naturally attracted to their brightness and warmth.

Drumroll, please... Aquarius is the rarest of them all. Water-bearer babies tend to be few and far between because February is the least common birth month, according to the CDC.
In astrology, the Sun, the Moon, and the Rising Sign are sometimes referred to as the big three. It's possible to have all3 of these in the same sign like when a person says, “I'm a triple Leo” or Scorpio or Taurus...that means the Sun, Moon and rising sign are all in Leo.
The luckiest astrology placements center around Jupiter, the planet of fortune, and involve the 9th house (luck/expansion), Sagittarius (Jupiter's sign), and Fire signs like Aries/Leo for strong Sun placements, often highlighted by angles (1st/10th house) or conjunct/trine placements with Jupiter and the North Node for major boosts in areas like career, wealth (2nd house), or relationships.
The Gemini–Cancer cusp is sometimes called the “Cusp of Magic” because it blends air-sign intellect with water-sign intuition. Those born on this cusp are said to possess a unique blend of Gemini's intellectual curiosity and communication skills, with Cancer's emotional depth and sensitivity.
In astrology, a cusp (from the Latin for spear or point) is the imaginary line that separates a pair of consecutive signs in the zodiac or houses in the horoscope.
If you're born on the cusp and your sun is at 0 degrees, that means you more fully embody the sign's qualities. Astrologers consider this the purest expression of the sign.
In astrology, a cusp is a dividing line between two zodiac signs or houses. Think of it like a celestial property line separating your yard from your neighbor's…or, in astrology terms, setting the Libras apart from the Scorpios.
