Witches have always fascinated us with their mystique, power, and connection to nature and the supernatural. Each zodiac sign has its own unique traits, and these can be linked to famous witches throughout history and mythology. If you’ve ever wondered which famous witch resonates with your zodiac sign, keep reading to find out!
1. Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Famous Witch: Morgan le Fay
For the fiery and bold Aries individual, there is just one better match than the legendary Morgan le Fay. Morgan le Fay was the epitome of a powerful enchantress in Arthurian legend, fearless and ambitious, shaking a very fierce and potent fist at the world around her, much like any Aries. Aries are natural-born leaders, just like Morgan, who was often seen as a ruler and powerful figure. Aries’ determination to succeed is matched by Morgan’s unyielding quest for power and influence.
2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Famous Witch: Circe
Taurus is an earth sign that values beauty, stability, and indulgence. This zodiac sign is connected with Circe, the sorceress from Greek mythology who could transform men into animals. Circe loved to live in luxury, enjoying the finer things in life, which resonates with Taurus’ appreciation for comfort and pleasure. Known for her patience and resilience, Circe’s transformative powers reflect Taurus’ ability to create change, albeit slowly and steadily.
3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Famous Witch: The Blair Witch
Geminis are clever, adaptable, and sometimes a bit tricky. The Blair Witch from the legendary Blair Witch folklore represents the duality and mystery often associated with Gemini. Like the sign of the twins, the Blair Witch has two faces—one that is elusive and one that is feared. Geminis are known for their ability to manipulate situations, just as the Blair Witch’s presence in the woods manipulates the environment and people’s minds, causing confusion and fear.
4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Famous Witch: Baba Yaga
Cancer is known for its deep connection to home and family, which makes Baba Yaga, the witch from Slavic folklore, the perfect match. Baba Yaga lives in a hut that stands on chicken legs, symbolizing her deep-rooted ties to her environment. Though she can be intimidating, like Cancer, she is also protective of those she cares for. Baba Yaga’s nurturing and homebound tendencies, combined with her mysterious powers, echo Cancer’s deep emotional world and caring nature.
5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Famous Witch: Hecate
Magnetic personalities, leadership, and desire to shine – the qualities of Leos. Hecate, goddess of witchcraft and magic, dominates the crossroads, all qualities wrapped up in this person. Leos lead because they get noticed. And Hecate, with dominion over moon, night, and everything between the lines, takes pride of place in the magical world. There is a remembering of the natural self and proper authority with her regal presence-a Leo quality. She commands respect. She is a good guardian of the threshold, again like the Leo.
6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Famous Witch: Hermione Granger
Practical, analytical, detail-oriented, Virgo reminds one of Hermione Granger, that indispensable character from the Harry Potter series. That quintessence of a person with great intelligence and perfectionism would find a good embodiment in the person of Hermione Granger. She is very talented in magic, too, as she studies hard and works very well. Besides, Hermione is helpful, being one of those people who always care for their friends and try to do good in what is wrong, and that mirrors the character of the Virgo.
7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Famous Witch: Glinda the Good Witch
Libra is the sign of balance, harmony, and justice, which is perfectly aligned with Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz. Libras are known for their diplomacy and fairness, and Glinda’s role in helping Dorothy navigate the world of Oz reflects Libra’s ability to guide others through difficult times. With her kind nature, grace, and strong moral compass, Glinda represents the positive, justice-seeking traits of Libra. Libras, like Glinda, want peace and harmony above all else.
8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Famous Witch: Maleficent
Scorpio is intense, passionate, and often misunderstood, making Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty the ideal match. Scorpios are known to have deep emotions and a strong presence, and Maleficent personifies those traits-the vengeful but also multi-layered. Just as the Scorpio has deep motives, so does Maleficent’s, and although she may present herself as harsh, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface than initially meets the eye. Her ability to transform also mirrors that attribute of Scorpio – the ability to transform and rise from the ashes.
9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Famous Witch: The White Witch (Jadis)
Sagittarians are adventurous, philosophical, and freedom-loving. These traits are completely embodied in the character of the White Witch, also known as Jadis, in The Chronicles of Narnia. She is a grandiose dreamer who craves power. While she uses her strength to control Narnia, Sagittarians are more likely to seek truth and wisdom. However, both Sagittarians and the White Witch share a desire to explore, expand their influence, and break boundaries—though Sagittarians will do so with a more philosophical approach.
10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Famous Witch: The Wicked Witch of the West
Capricorns are ambitious, disciplined, and determined to achieve their goals no matter what it takes, all perfect qualities for Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz. Capricorns might appear to be icy or ruthless at times, similar to Wicked Witch, but the ability to concentrate and persevere is perhaps something that cannot be rivalled by anyone else. Just as the Wicked Witch is determined to capture Dorothy and the ruby slippers, Capricorns are unyielding in their pursuit of success.
11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Famous Witch: Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Aquarians are known for their quirky, forward-thinking, and humanitarian nature. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is an excellent match for Aquarius due to her independent and rebellious spirit. Aquarius is often the visionary of the zodiac, thinking ahead and challenging the status quo—much like Sabrina, who navigates the balance between the magical and human worlds. This is reflected in Aquarius’ affinity to innovation and freedom. However, this one proved to show the spirit to break loose from the orthodox ideas about witchcraft.
12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Famous Witch: The Sanderson Sisters
Pisces is imaginative, feeling, and very spiritual. Thus, there are many character traits of the Sanderson Sisters of Hocus Pocus : whimsical and dreamy, where the sisters use their magic in a very sinister but playful sense. Pisces are known for intuition and the ability to connect with otherworldly realms much like such famous witches who were brought back to life by magic. Their charm, with magic and wit, may truly suit the creative and otherworldly energy of Piscean.
Conclusion:
For every one of the twelve zodiac signs, there is some sort of famous witch who shares your unique qualities with you. Passionate like Morgan le Fay and imaginative like the Sanderson Sisters, your zodiac shines bright with magic. Find your inner witch, because the stars surely are guiding you there!
