Astrologer Lisa Stardust reveals which character from the iconic Halloween movie best matches your zodiac sign
It’s almost time to “run amok” this Halloween!
Since its premiere in 1993, Hocus Pocus has become a beloved Halloween classic full of witchy mischief from the iconic Sanderson sisters.
To this day, the film is a spooky staple that continues to live on through new iterations. Almost 30 years after the events of the first film, Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary (Kathy Najimy) made their triumphant return in Disney+’s Hocus Pocus 2 and a third installment is already in development.
The characters have become iconic Halloween figures through the years, but which character closely aligns with your zodiac sign?
While Fire signs might relate to head witch Winifred’s vivacious personality or Dani’s fiery attitude, Earth signs could resonate more with beloved zombie William “Billy” Butcherson.
Read ahead to learn which Hocus Pocus character you are based on your zodiac sign, according to astrologer Lisa Stardust.
Aries: Winifred
As head of the Sanderson sisters, Stardust notes that “Winifred is the fiery, aggressive, go-getter of the bunch who’ll stop at nothing for immortality.” Her desire to meet her goals “resonates with the gusto that rambunctious Aries puts out into the world,” Stardust adds.
Taurus: William “Billy” Butcherson
According to Stardust, the zombie who infamously cheated on Winnie with Sarah when he was human is closely aligned with the Earth sign, Taurus, and not just because he emerges from the ground. As Stardust points out, Taurus placements are best known as the “sensual Earth signs” with “hedonistic sentiments,” similar to the way Billy acted in his relationship with the magical sisters.
Gemini: Jay and Ice
As Stardust points out, these two friends “are always up to hijinx and cause trouble in town with their bad behavior and loose lips.” It’s their “mischievous ways” that “make this duplicitous duo — who are one and the same — the ultimate Gemini.”
Cancer: Thackery Binx
As the protective older brother of Emily, Stardust says that “Thackery earns his stripes as a Cancer” especially when he helps “Dani, Max and Allison escape the Sanderson sisters with helpful hints, escape plans, and good advice.”
Leo: Jenny Dennison
While Max and Dani are trying to stop the Sanderson sisters, their mom Jenny “is living her best life in a Madonna costume [that] makes her the center of attention at the town party,” much like a Leo. Stardust adds that she further resembles the zodiac sign in that she’s “kind, daring, and dramatic (based on her Halloween costume).”
Virgo: Max
As the virgin who lights the candle that awakens the Sanderson sisters, Stardust notes that Max closely aligns with Virgo. Notably in astrology, Virgos are considered the “vessel of purity and goodness in the zodiac,” which perfectly aligns with Max’s arc in the film.

Libra: Sarah
Of the three Sanderson sisters, Sarah is the ultimate flirt, which Stardust says closely connects her “with airy Libra.” Stardust adds that Libras love “connecting with others” and Sarah especially embodies this as she “likes to spend time getting attention from men with her charm.”
Scorpio: Allison
Stardust explains that Scorpio placements have “an intensity that makes them powerful and enchanting — just like Allison’s personality.” As Stardust points out, Allison “believes in the Sanderson superstitions and doesn’t back down from her beliefs” and is “also into witches,” which closely aligns with the Water sign.
Sagittarius: Dani
Stardust says that like Sagittarius placements, “Dani is bold, daring, and not afraid of most things — even the Sanderson sisters.” She adds that Dani is “unapologetically herself at all times and exudes strength — more than most kids her age — like all archers do.”
Capricorn: Dave Dennison
“Max and Dani’s father Dave is a typical parent of teens,” Stardust explains. “He’s the strong and silent type, who cares about his children, which are the qualities that Capricorns exudes.” That being said, Stardust adds that he also knows how to “let loose” at a party, much like the Earth sign.

Aquarius: Mary
Stardust calls Mary “the quirky Sanderson sister who marches to the beat of her own drum,” much like this Air sign. According to Stardust, Aquarius placements usually “have a unique personality and offbeat sensibilities, making Mary a water-bearer at the core of her unconventional nature.”
Pisces: Emily Binx
As Stardust notes, Emily Binx mainly appears as an apparition and “connects with humans from the other side.” Stardust explains that Emily connects best with Pisces because “they’re sensitive, psychic and intuitive.”
