Which Pop Culture Witch Is Your Halloween Soul Mate?
As if the excessive Halloween decor at your local drugstore hasn’t been making it totally obvious, I’m here to verify that Spooky Season is officially here…with only days to go before Halloween! Whether you’re planning on busting out your sexy novelty costume at a party, bingeing on horror movies at home, or “accompanying” your nephew as he trick-or-treats (let’s be honest, we know you’re in it for the candy—no judgment!), this is an excellent time to embrace and connect with your inner witch. And what better way to identify your sorceress role model than through astrology!
Just as each zodiac sign has specific attributes, each witch has her own unique characteristics as well. Are you a playful Sabrina, a studious Hermione, or a cunning Ursula? Find out below!
ARIES: Nancy Downs (The Craft)
I know, I know. The iconic ’90s dog-collar necklace, heavy black eyeliner, her obsession with witchcraft—the ~amateur~ astrologer may read Nancy as a Scorpio (the sign associated with all things magick).
But in actuality, it’s not her goth style that makes Nancy one of the baddest witches in the game, it’s her fiery rage! There’s nothing more distinctive than an Aries’ temper tantrum, which is why Nancy is absolutely Aries’ (the sign ruled by Mars, planet of war) magical muse.
TAURUS: Morticia Addams (The Addams Family)
As the most sensual sign of the zodiac, Taurus loves anything romantic: flowers, fragrance, and fabric are a few of Taurus’s favorite things. And based on Morticia’s specific hobbies and interests, she’s definitely a Taurus icon.
Whether she’s tending to her garden, sewing costumes for her children, or expressing her undying love for her husband, Morticia is a true Taurus kween.
GEMINI: Sally and Gillian Owens (Practical Magic)
Although they’re not biological twins, supernatural sisters Sally and Gillian Owens are absolutely Gemini’s witchy soulmates. Like the zodiac sign itself, Sally and Gillian are curious, playful, and perfect counter-balances–Sally is more pragmatic, while Gillian leads with her passion.
This enchanted pair is the perfect icon to Gemini’s own duality, making the Owens sisters a perfect match for this sign!
CANCER: Samantha Stephens (Bewitched)
Cancers—symbolized by the celestial hermit crab—carry their homes on their backs. Likewise, cultivating a safe, domestic space for their family and loved ones is extremely important to this sensitive water sign.
Like every good Cancer, Samantha Stephens works hard to maintain a happy, gracefully-navigated balance between her mortal husband and eccentric mother. All Cancers will definitely empathize with tricky familial dynamic, which makes Samantha Cancer’s witchy doppelg?nger!
LEO: Elaine (The Love Witch)
Though Elaine’s enchanted story is more recent (she’s the central character of the campy 2016 film The Love Witch), her character has already become canonical.
If you aren’t yet familiar with Elaine, well, basically her entire MO is brewing spells and potions to make men fall in love with her. Every Leo wants to be adored, so for this passionate fire sign, Elaine is Leo’s unequivocal witch bae!
VIRGO: Glinda, The Good Witch of the East (The Wizard of Oz)
Virgos are sweet, gentle earth signs who can selflessly solve even the most complicated predicaments. In The Wizard of Oz, Glinda definitely rolled through with enchanted crisis-management.
But what really makes Glinda a Virgo is her innate ability to categorize and systematize. Before she helps Dorthy, she needs to know: “Are you a good witch? Or a bad witch?”—which is a truly iconic Virgo-y query! Between her kind nature and thoughtful observations, Glinda is truly Virgo’s witchy mate.
LIBRA: Sabrina Spellman (Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
Libras are social, stylish, and—perhaps most importantly—known for their incredible ability to balance even the most complicated situations. Likewise, Sabrina Spellman is soooo a Libra.
Whether she’s humoring her demanding “500-year old” aunts or fighting for her high school crush’s attention, Sabrina courses through typical teen drama with her ability to really think through a decision. A Libra icon if anyone's ever seen one!
SCORPIO: Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty)
So, basically, Maleficent wasn’t invited to a party and then swore revenge for all entirety—remind you of anyone? Scorpio is known for its steadfast loyalty, but when crossed, this water sign will truly never let you live it down. Like, ever.
Motivated by vengeance and recognized for her chic-witchy fashion, Maleficent is definitely Scorpio’s sorceress soulmate.
SAGITTARIUS: Hermione (Harry Potter)
Sagittarians are always on a quest for knowledge, and likewise, Hermione is definitely the witchy icon for this philosophical fire sign.
Smart, studious, and outspoken, she's a clever witch who captures the essence of Sagittarius’ own magick. We stan a brilliant sorceress!
CAPRICORN: Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
In traditional astrology, Capricorn was symbolized by the sea-goat—a mythological creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. So, duh, Ursula captures the essence of Capricorn’s aquatic sorcery:
This iconic sea-witch is really a business boss, who uses the power of persuasion to get sign-off on some seriously lopsided contracts. Capricorn are the hardest working sign of the zodiac, so there’s no question Ursula is Capricorn’s witchy soulmate.
AQUARIUS: Winifred Sanderson (Hocus Pocus)
Winifred Sanders was a medieval witch who suddenly found herself smack-dab in the middle of the 1990s. Needless to say, her whole vibe was a bit…quirky.
Aquarians are known for their distinctive eccentricity, so this enchantress is the icon for this idiosyncratic air sign. Plus, is there an Aquarian who doesn’t get totally fed up with the absurdity of the outside world? Winifred is such an Aquarius!
PISCES: Raven (That’s So Raven)
Just like Pisces, Raven had incredible clairvoyant abilities that enabled her to see the future.
The last sign of the zodiac, Pisces are true fortune-telling psychics—though most of them relate to Raven’s struggle balancing their intuition with their daily realities. So relatable! Likewise, Raven is definitely Pisces’ witchy icon.
