Feel the crispness in the air? Yes, it's officially fall, which means it's time to brew a cup of tea [1], curl up on the couch, and watch your favourite spooky movies [2] and TV shows. Whether you want something nostalgic and fun like Twitches, or you'd rather try out a spooky supernatural show like Netflix's The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, there's plenty of spooky stories to stream [3] this season, for witches and mortals alike.
There are so many incredible witches in our favourite seasonal movies and TV shows, and each brings their own edge to their magical powers. Some might use their spells for good and others for evil, but all of these witches are downright powerful. If you've ever wondered which witch you are based on your zodiac sign [4], now's the time to find out. And as a bonus, it may even provide you with some helpful Halloween costume inspiration [5].
Aries (20 March - 19 April): Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Ruled by Mars, this fire sign is known for its passion, and at times, aggression. Aries are direct, honest, and fearless, and they do everything with their own dramatic flair. Of the witches in pop culture, Sabrina the Teenage Witch is most like your sign. She is assertive, independent, and spunky.
Taurus (20 April - 20 May): Queenie from American Horror Story: Coven
Tauruses are fixed earth signs, meaning that they know what they want. They are known to prioritise comfort and are sometimes called stubborn, but this strong-willed sign is one of the hidden gems of the zodiac.
Queenie from American Horror Story [6]: Coven gives us major Taurus vibes from her self-confidence, to her physicality (she's a "human voodoo doll"), to her sense of fashion.
Gemini (21 May - 20 June): The Twitches
Maybe you saw this one coming, but it's so accurate. Gemini, represented by the twins in astrology, is a charismatic air sign known for being extroverted, great at communicating, and incredibly intelligent.
The Twitches are the perfect representation of Geminis; they're bubbly, funny, and, of course, they're twins!
Cancer (21 June - 22 July): Samatha from Bewitched
Cancers are a sensitive water sign. They're known for their deep emotions, intuition, and creativity. They're also thought of as the most motherly sign of the zodiac. Samantha from Bewitched is definitely a Cancer. She is kind, mature, and loving, while also always having a spell up her sleeve.
Leo (23 July - 22 Aug.): The Love Witch
Leos are another sociable sign, known for their leadership and confidence. This fire sign is ruled by the sun, meaning that Leos exude warmth and love to be centre-stage.
For this reason, The Love Witch is the perfect example of a Leo. By now you've heard her voice on TikTok; she's the one saying "The day that he left me is the day that I died, and was reborn as a witch." The Love Witch is an independent, glamorous woman on a quest to find love and adoration... major Leo behaviour.
Virgo (23 Aug. - 22 Sept.): Hermoine
Virgos are an earth sign known for their helpfulness and strong opinions on how to get things done. They are hardworking and organised, and exactly the sign you'd want to work with on a group project — that is, if they didn't just go ahead and finish the whole thing before the group even met.
Aside from the fact that her birthday falls on Sept. 19, which puts her squarely in Virgo territory, Hermione Granger is the total embodiment of Virgo energy. She is particular, smart, and a bit of a perfectionist.
Libra (23 Sept. - 22 Oct.): Glinda from the Wizard of Oz
Libras are an air sign known for their sociability. They are rarely alone and care deeply about justice and fairness. They put a lot of emphasis on what other people think about them and are compassionate and charming. Glinda, the good witch, is a perfect example of a Libra. She's widely loved, sociable, and gentle. She is rarely alone, always surrounded by munchkins, and she takes it upon herself to be a beacon of good in her community.
Scorpio (23 Oct. - 21 Nov.): Maleficent
Scorpio is a water sign often confused for a fire sign because of their passion, power, and depth. Scorpios can be misunderstood and are known for their provocative and complex personalities. Scorpios are a great match for Maleficent because they are dark, bold, and mysterious. Plus, their makeup always looks good, obviously.
Sagittarius (22 Nov. - 21 Dec.): Fiona Goode from American Horror Story: Coven
Sagittarius is a fire sign, known for its endless optimism and expansive mind. Sags love to travel and make new friends, and they never stop moving. A true explorer and people person, Sagittarius sometimes have the tendency to put their foot in their mouth.
Fiona is a Sagittarius in the sense that she's a worldy woman who is witty and charismatic. She has her moments of kindness, but also a fiery side.
Capricorn (22 Dec. - 19 Jan.): Sabrina from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Capricorns are disciplined, ambitious, and mature. This earth sign is practical and driven by success. They're definitely the badass of the zodiac.
Sabrina from The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina gives us major Capricorn energy. She's put together, self-sufficient, and a steadfast leader, even though she's dealing with a lot of pressure.
Aquarius (20 Jan. - 18 Feb.): Bonnie Bennet from The Vampire Diaries
Aquarius is the most independent and one-of-a-kind member of the zodiac. This air sign is big into deep intellectual concepts and creative self-expression. Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries has major Aquarius vibes. Born on 5 Feb., she is fiercely independent and has no trouble doing her own thing and pursing her wide range of interests.
Pisces (19 Feb. - 20 March): The Scarlet Witch
Pisces are another emotional water sign who are known for having their heads in a fantasy world. They are also creative and very romantic. Of course, The Scarlet Witch, also known as Wanda Maximoff is the embodiment of Piscean energy. She has a deep love for her husband, Vision, and she created a whole fantasy world to deal with her grief.
