I think Lydia once mentioned that fixed stars are only important when in aspect to the planets. Is that to say that when fixed stars are in aspect to the house cusps this doesn't matter?
Also, as a side note, could someone please explain to me the meaning of a house cusp? I think I understand it, but I just want to be sure.
I hope this imageExternal ↗ will help you confirm what you know.
Regarding your question about fixed stars.
From Azazel's Astrology "The following interpretations concern when a fixed star is conjunct a planet in one‟s chart or an angle or is prominent. Personal planets such as chart ruler/s and angles are important, with the influence of the fixed star being emphasized in both the life affairs and in the personality."
A fixed star if conjoined to one of the four angles is certainly important. As for the other cusps, I would personally say that the mere presence of a fixed star will most likely have no significant importance but it might be a supporting factor to consider when analyzing the house in question.
Fixed stars are like spices that add flavor to the reading. The main ingredients are the planets, aspects, and houses, and should be considered first and foremost. All of these things need to be carefully weighed out.
