From Stevie Nicks and the Owens women of Practical Magic to Florence Welch and the high school coven of The Craft, pop culture is packed with witchy icons, both fictional and nonfictional, who we can’t get enough of all year long. It’s easy to find yourself mesmerized by their powerful mastery of poetic lyrics, covetable fashion choices, or inspiring sisterly bonds. And when spooky season rolls around, it’s prime time for celebrating these famously magnetic women. For a sense of the witchy pop culture icon you relate to the most, look to your natal astrology.

Your Witchy Pop Culture Icon, Based on Your Sign

Read for your sun sign, which colors your identity, self-image, purpose, and confidence; your rising sign, which speaks to your inner spirit and soul; and perhaps also your Venus sign, which speaks to pleasure and beauty.

Aries: Hermione Granger from Harry Potter

You’re a dynamic go-getter who has no problem leaping without looking, especially when vying for the number-one spot, in great part because you’re ruled by Mars, the planet of action and energy. This fired-up, youthful vibe is reflective of Aries sun Emma Watson’s portrayal of Hermione Granger, the strong, studious, bright, and sometimes bossy young witch in the Harry Potter series. Like Hermione, you aim to be the very best at everything you do, and owning that relentless inner drive fuels your power.

Taurus: Cher

Informed by Venus, the planet of pleasure, beauty, romance, and values, you’re glamorous, grounded, practical, and alluring like Cher, who has made a captivating witchy, goth aesthetic her jam for decades. In addition to being a true force in pop culture since the 1960s, she famously performed “Witchy Woman/Honky-Tonk Woman” on The Cher Show in 1975, topped the charts with the ballad “Dark Lady” in 1974, and starred in The Witches of Eastwick in 1987. Her no-nonsense, glamorous, and endlessly spellbinding way of moving through the world is truly Taurean.

Gemini: Stevie Nicks

Ruled by Mercury, the planet of self-expression, language, and cerebral energy, you’re most connected to rock ‘n’ roll queen and master lyricist Stevie Nicks, whose sun, Uranus, and Mercury are all in the sign of the Twins in her third house of communication. With her bohemian aesthetic, scarves, moon necklaces, and black top hats, Nicks has reigned supreme as a real-life witchy icon in the music industry since the ’70s. When it comes to penning timeless lyrics that sound like an incantation (“Silver Springs”) or that celebrate feminine power (“Gold Dust Woman” and “Rhiannon”), she’s unmatched, thanks to her mercurial influence. Her unique, mystical aesthetic is also reflective of her Gemini playfulness and creativity, which you undoubtedly share.

Cancer: Samantha Stephens from Bewitched

Even if you wouldn’t exactly describe yourself as a domestic goddess, your moon-ruled nature makes you innately nurturing, family-oriented, heartfelt, witty, sentimental, and generous, much like Elizabeth Montgomery’s Samantha in the 1960s classic sitcom Bewitched. Given how much you care about and go out of your way for your nearest and dearest, if you had powers like Samantha’s, you’d inevitably apply them to solving your loved ones’ everyday crises like she does.

Leo: Glinda the Good Witch

Ruled by the confident sun, you’re charismatic, upbeat, and loyal. You light up any space you enter, much like Glinda, who you might think of as Billie Burke in the 1939 classic film, Kristin Chenoweth, who played her in the original Broadway production of Wicked, or Ariana Grande in the latest iteration of Wicked. It’s no surprise that two of the three actresses (Burke and Chenoweth) were born with their sun in Leo, given Glinda’s glimmery, self-assured, action-oriented vibe that is a signature of the fixed fire sign, and an energy you also exude.

Virgo: Sally Owens in Practical Magic

You’re cerebral, thoughtful, service-oriented, grounded, and detail-minded: all traits shared by Sally Owens, one of the key protagonists in Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic. Portrayed by Sandra Bullock in the 1998 film, Sally loves tending to her garden and solarium and mixing up potions and bath and body products, which is so mutable earth sign-coded. Her struggle to put her racing mind aside in order to tap into her intuition and, in turn, harness her innate powers, also mirrors your own challenge. But, as evidenced by Sally’s trajectory through the series, once the astute priestess of the harvest trusts herself, she’s unstoppable.

Libra: Rachel Zoe

Ruled by style-conscious Venus, you care deeply about bringing more beauty, balance, and harmony into any space you occupy, not unlike bohemian witchy fashion icon and designer Rachel Zoe. With her natal Uranus in the cardinal air sign, Zoe was a trailblazer when it came to the boho-rock chic aesthetic and working creative magic with other icons like Demi Moore, Nicole Richie, and Anne Hathaway. Her mystical, glittery seasonal holiday home decor line is also super-Libra coded.

Scorpio: Elphaba

As the fixed water sign, co-ruled by Mars, the planet of action, and Pluto, the planet of transformation, you came into the world during spooky season, which means you might very well be a spiritual prodigy who radiates emotional depth and unparalleled inner power, much like Elphaba, portrayed by Margaret Hamilton, Idina Menzel, and Cynthia Erivo. Her feistiness, bravery, and resolute nature all mirror your own.

Sagittarius: Gilly Owens in Practical Magic

You’re jovial, adventurous, bored by anything that’s considered minutiae and mundane, and eager to spread your wings, thanks to your ruling planet, lucky Jupiter. Your energy echoes that of Gilly Owens, the younger sister in Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, portrayed by Nicole Kidman. You can understand why she fled her aunts’ home for a life out in the world. And because Sagittarius is also so enthusiastic about spiritual growth and eager to champion the truth, you can also relate to how Gilly owns and expresses her powers.

Capricorn: Florence Welch

Ruled by taskmaster Saturn, you’re pragmatic, industrious, and wired to fully commit to putting your nose to the grindstone and making your mark, much like the lead singer of Florence and the Machine, who was born with both her natal Mars and Neptune in the cardinal earth sign. From her whimsical, feminist lyrics to her sharing that she started a coven as a child, Welch has clearly been a spiritual old soul her whole life, and that’s something you can absolutely relate to.

Aquarius: Alex Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place

Portrayed by Selena Gomez, Disney teen wizard Alex Russo was known for being sarcastic, rebellious, witty, creative, stubborn, and outgoing: all traits that you might relate to as someone with Aquarian placements. After all, the fixed air sign, co-ruled by revolutionary, sudden-change-loving Uranus and serious Saturn, is eager to strike out against convention and march to the beat of their own drum.

Pisces: Erykah Badu

As the mutable water sign, co-ruled by mystical Neptune and expansive Jupiter, you’re empathic, spiritual, deeply artistic, introspective, and highly imaginative like the singer-songwriter Badu, who once famously said, “My magic doesn’t lie between my thighs; it lies between my ears.” With her own sun and moon in the sign of the Fish, the Queen of Neo Soul is also a healing force outside of music, working as both a birth and an end-of-life doula. You can’t help but relate to her ethereal, creative persona.
