4. I haven't read the article yet but a couple thoughts

my Mother - an amateur astrologer for some years - told me that children tend to show more of the traits of their Moon than their Sun. I don't have a particular opinion on that, but it makes some sense.

As far as cusps go, I wonder how much of the perceived being of two signs at once comes from other, un-related-ish factors. For instance, the personal planets Mercury and Venus have a greater chance of being in a sign neighboring the Sun than do any of the other bodies.
And/or, I was born with my Sun just a hair over the Cancer side of Gemini-Cancer, and I've been "accused" of having some Gemini traits. The only planet I have in Gemini is Saturn, in conjunction to my Sun (six degree orb.) I wonder if an out-of-sign Saturn-Sun conjunction can work something like: Saturn restricts the traits of the Sun's sign while Sun illuminates traits of Saturn's sign. I have a friend with Sun in Leo conjunct Saturn in Virgo (also six degree orb) and he could easily be mistaken for a Virgo. Other than Saturn he has no planets in Virgo, though his North Node is there, and his Ascendant remains in question.
