Sabbat Birthday Superstitions

I thought it might be fun for Imbolc to gather some superstitions for anyone with a birthday on one of the Sabbats. I included dates for both Northern and Southern Hemisphere. These are all from a book called All One Wicca: A Study in the Universal Eclectic Tradition of Wicca by Kaatryn MacMorgan. I’m not necessarily saying that any of this is true or good, I’m just posting it for anyone who is interested. 

Yule (20-22 December or 20-22 June)

A child born on Yule is said to have the power of the Sun God, and the mother is said to be blessed too, of especial sacredness are infants with black hair, who are said to have the powers of the storms, and very pale children born on Yule are said to come from the womb of the Goddess and be great workers of Magick. Some say the gift child is often a changeling, and will die by spring, but bring great prosperity to the family, not my idea of a Blessing.

Imbolc (1-2 February or 1-2 August)

Children born on Imbolc are said to be the “first children of Spring” and will always be one step ahead of everyone else.

Ostara (19-21 March or 19-21 September)

Children born or conceived on Ostara are said to be healthy, strong, imaginative and “green thumbed.”

Beltane (30 April -1 May or 30 October - 1 November)

Children, especially girls, born on Beltane are the “children of the Goddess,” and children conceived on Beltane are said to have “luck and fortune beyond the world." 

Litha (20 - 22 June or 20 - 22 December)

Children born on the Summer Solstice are supposed to be fiery, smart, strong, temperamental and willful, red haired children born on the Solstice are said to be marked by the Sun King, and will receive special blessings.

Lughnasadh/Lammas (1 - 2 August or 1 - 2 February)

Children born on Lughnasa, like children born on Mabon, are said to be like the crop that is brought in.

Mabon (19 - 21 September or 19 - 21 March)

Children born at Mabon are generally compared to the harvest. If it was good, the child is said the "Grow tall and prosper like the grain,” but a poor season usually boded badly for an infant, not because of his/her date of birth but because of the food supply, and the child was said to be lucky to survive past Yule.

Samhain (30 October - 1 November or 30 April - 1 May)

Children born on Samhain are said to be great in power but attracted to “necromancy, graveyards and other ghoulish things,” and children conceived on Samhain were said to be the incarnations of unsettled dead, so sex on Samhain is fairly taboo. 

Birth Chart Indicators of being a Generational Curse/Cycle Breaker

Having Aries, Scorpio, Taurus or Libra as your North Node.

Having North Node in your fourth or tenth house. Fourth housers especially, though.

Having your sun sign at 0, 1 or 29 degrees.

Having Aries as your sun sign.

Having Aries, Taurus, Scorpio or Aquarius as your Chiron sign.

Having Saturn in houses 1-6, especially in your first house.

Having a lot of first, fourth or tenth house placements.

Having a lot of Aries/Aquarius placements or Mars/Uranus aspects.

Significant Saturn or Mars-Sun aspects.

Having your Lilith sign in Cancer or Aries.

Aries breaks familial generational curses, Aquarius breaks societal generational curses.

Having Virgo, Leo or Cancer as your moon sign.

Uranus or Mercury being in retrograde.

A smaller detail is that these people usually either have fixed or cardinal Jupiter signs. I rarely see someone with a mutable one.

Yods in the birth chart, even just one. These particular curse breakers also might come off as odd or spiritually gifted in some regard from a young age. Prone to panic attacks/anxiety and also tend to fixate or have one thing they're really good at. They tend to get thrown off MUCH more easily than any other generational curse breakers, though.

Having a lot of Trine aspects.

Having a lot of cardinal placements.

Mercury in first house.

Please keep in mind that these are just my personal observations.

Also that having just one or a few of these in your chart doesn't necessarily mean this applies to you. I notice that people who fit this bill tend to have at least three (usually more) of these qualities in their charts.

GRIMOIRE ASTROLOGY PROFILES SERIES

(pt 1 / pt 2 / pt 3 / pt 4)

after doing this round, i finally understand why sagittarius folks have been the most inquisitive abt their profile 😂

since my rising sign is capricorn i definitely found some insight researching that one as well. it’s funny how much we earth signs doubt ourselves.

last installment coming soon, and then i plan to revisit the whole series in a typed -up version!

VENUS

Symbolizes attraction of all kinds, infatuation, desire, attachment, and emotional needs. Venus has dominion over intimacy and sexual energy and desire in the woman; it also signifies sex appeal, beauty, grace, fashion and being fashionable, socializing and sociability, partnerships, and the act of unification (weddings), but not the marriage itself. Venus has dominion over combining and coordinating different things, including parts of the body, countries, companies, ideas, and any two things whatsoever. Venus rules the companion and companionship, friendship and friends, being together, joining, cooperating, and merging; also possessions, money, social standing, jewels and adornment, and luxury. This is very interesting: Venus rules seduction, the act of making love, female sexuality, and sexual energy in the woman; and it is representative of charm, harmony, and a sense of humor. Venus is a BENEFIC and therefore symbolizes good luck and elevated levels. (IG:@madaamsaturn) A benefic is a term of ancient astrology referring to a highly beneficial planet that brings good luck or high levels of something beneficial and helpful, as well as victory and championships. Also: Victory in war, beauty, and fashion, harmony, sexual attraction, money, beauty, and money - but neither are permanent because nothing with Venus is forever. Venus is also a sexual planet.

MARS

Represents the body and muscles, motion, bodily movements and activity, energy, initiative, the sex drive (especially in men), war, weapons of war, aggression, anger, violence, temper, belligerency, the soldier, the warrior, violence, accidents, sudden disruption (including accidents), competitiveness, and the athlete. Since Mars rules the body, it has dominion over what we do with the body, such as athletic endeavors, dance, and ballet, and also pure physical labor. Mars is associated with the pure physical attraction of the body, as distinguished from emotional and even sexual attraction. Venus rules female sexuality, but Mars is the ruler of male sexuality. Mars governs initiative and being a person of action, as opposed to indecision and excessive contemplation. (IG:@madaamsaturn)It also rules the dancer and farmer, laborer and carpenter, and any profession that has a primary requirement of using the body. Mars signifies crudeness, vulgarity, macho attitudes, and the he-man. Also: battles, drilling, bodily movement and labor-intensive activities, “sexual” attraction (Mars is a sexual planet, fraternal symbolism with Venus), sports, enthusiasm, stamina, acting (using your body), unforgiving, uncompromising, rape, and co-rules farming with Neptune.

PLUTO

Is the ruler of sexuality, lust, obsessive desires, and sex organs. (This overlaps in some ways with Mars, which symbolizes pure physical attraction, but there is a difference.) Pluto is also representative of power; the establishment; and things that enhance or preserve power, such as atomic energy and weapons, politics, great success, big business, corporations, and advertising. Pluto signifies dictatorships and oppression and the state of being oppressive; this leads to Pluto signifying the superego and undeserved self-esteem.(IG:@madaamsaturn) Pluto represents the ingredients of great wealth, such as investments, the banking industry, the loaning of money, the issuance of debt, and the ability to pay it back; as well as most financial instruments, such as bonds and mortgages. It also represents gambling and betting, the trading of financial instruments of all types and profits therefrom. It provides the ability to take advantage of and capitalize on something in order to make a profit. Pluto has dominion over drastic changes that are true upheavals, and in this regard, it represents beginnings and endings. Pluto rules obsessions of all kinds, including emotional and sexual ones. Also, Pluto is the ruler of the actual sex act, as opposed to lovemaking and seduction, which are ruled by Venus. Venus seduces you; Pluto simply throws you on the bed and says, “Take off your clothes.” Pluto is therefore symbolic of sexism and male chauvinism. Also: Pluto elevates: elevated talent (Pluto-Neptune), elevated mind (Pluto-Mercury), ego, lawsuits, greed, excess, oppression, perpetual dissatisfaction, cold, power-hungry, selfish, abusive, authoritarian, power, success, professional sports, acting, nuclear bomb, economy, big business, competition, competitive sports, entrepreneur, politicians, film stars professional athletes, sexual planet, investment banking.

NEPTUNE

Rules longevity and anything that has to do with the long term, including true love and long-term relationships (but not marriage, because Chiron rules marriage.) It is Neptune that imparts sensuality to women. Neptune also represents creativity, inspirations, and whatever inspires. Neptune has dominion over morals, ethics, and ethical behavior and standards; it signifies sensitivity and gentleness. (IG:@madaamsaturn)Neptune rules electricity and electrical devices, and whatever involves the sea and water, such as shipping. More important, Neptune governs health, medicines, and anything that increases life expectancy or improved health; as well as regeneration, healing, and anything that increases longevity. This leads to Neptune’s rulership of serenity, tranquility, and safe passage, as well as stability and peacefulness at home. Neptune is the planet of youthfulness and being young at heart, spirit, and body. It is Neptune that rules the act of procreation and reproduction; as opposed to Venus, which rules the act of making love and seduction. Neptune is also different from Pluto, which rules the sex act itself. Neptune signifies all long-term assets, such as inheritances, copyrights, and patents; and whatever comes from the ground, such as minerals, oil, plants, and food. It is Neptune that rules long-term financial security. Neptune also symbolizes doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and all artistic and creative professions. Also: soft and gentle, fashion design, inventions and the changes that inventions bring about, hairdressing and make-up, creative talent, creative genius, computers, and electrical devices, ideas, next best planet after Jupiter, true love, medicine and doctors, hospitals, real estate, land, patents (necessary for any long term business), health, endurance, healing, long-term inner beauty, electricity, rubber and rubber products, long-term anything, artistry and talents of all kinds, long-term security, co-rules life and death with Chiron.

JUPITER

Is symbolic of fulfillment, good fortune, success, enrichment, prayers answered and dreams coming true, peace and forgiveness, wisdom and good judgment, reliability and being honorable, promises kept, the law, the principle of order, morality, generosity, fairness, gratitude, faithfulness, selflessness, compassion, optimism, and hope. Jupiter is symbolic of Judeo-Christian religions, Providence, grace, power benevolently used, self-sacrifice, selflessness, as well protection, and the protector. Jupiter is also representative of truth and true genius, the leader, royalty, expansion of what is good or helpful, and contraction of what is bad and harmful. Jupiter is the most powerful benefic (Venus is second), and it improves and helps every planet it makes an aspect with. (IG:@madaamsaturn) Also: Extra-ordinary leader, success and good fortune, creative genius (emphasis on genius), banks, laws and judges, clergy, priests, good judgment, and wisdom.

MOON

Has the rulership of emotions, fluctuating moods, the psyche, the subconscious, greed, fear, capriciousness, and uncontrollable urges.(IG:@madaamsaturn) Because of all these rulerships, it follows that the Moon is representative of fanaticism and illogical beliefs and actions. Also: Crops and food, ocean and water, everything found in the ground - such as gold.

MERCURY

Governs communication and writing, the mind, intelligence, design, logic, expression, poetry, singing, and music. Mercury also rules teaching; and conveying ideas, messages, announcements, and conferences. Because Mercury was the Roman god of speed and messengers, Mercury rules speed and swiftness, travel, transportation, and all vehicles of transportation (including airplanes, cars, and railroads). Since Mercury rules traveling, it also represents exploring and exploration – including the exploration of the mind and space; and exploring for minerals, oil, and gas. Mercury has dominion over very important parts of the body, including the brain, ears, eyes, respiratory system, nervous system, and reflexes. (IG:@madaamsaturn)Mercury signifies the teacher, writer, singer, architect, and any profession that has a primary requirement of use of the mind or that requires the act of communicating. Mercury’s rulership of the mind extends to anything that mimics the mind, such as calculators, computers, and computer software. Also: Reflexes, visual, eyes, ears, nervous system, sound, co-ruler of fashion design, sense of balance, so-ordination, respiratory capacity, exploration, mind, computer software (mind of the computer), acting, movies, transportation and equipment, internet (co-ruled by Uranus).

URANUS

Is symbolic of freedom and independence and the urge for both, and is representative of excitement and thrill-seeking. Uranus also signifies change and what is new, including the news. Also, it represents astrology, because it is the study of changes in planets’ positions, which creates new things. Since change can be revolutionary, Uranus is representative of everything that is new or innovative, including discoveries. Along these lines, Uranus symbolizes what has changed the world, such as inventions and technology, flying, space travel, and aeronautics. But the most important rulership of Uranus are that of fame, the public, and whatever has to do with the public – such as the mass media, broadcasting, and the entertainment business. Uranus is representative of what is worldwide, pervasive, and universal in nature or status, and publicly and publicizing. It is Uranus that signifies the globalization of anything, and it is also symbolic of being massive in general size or amounts.(IG:@madaamsaturn) In our bodies, Uranus is the ruler of what our body does to adjust to changes; this means Uranus rules balance, eye-hand coordination, and depth perception; but it overlaps with Mercury in these areas. Also: Inventions and the changes inventions bring about, internet, depth perception, awareness, ability to judge distance, changes in motion, ability to adjust to change, co-ordination and balance, technology, politics, order and orderliness, universal fame, the world, urge for freedom, with Neptune enhancements - actors/actresses ability to communicate to the masses, voting public, independence, Uranus enhancements - ability to communicate to the masses, models and modeling.

SATURN

Is symbolic of too much or too little of something, and never just the right amount. It is also the planet of control and dominance, and the desire for control and dominance over others. Saturn represents restrictions and constriction – contraction of what is helpful, and expansion of what is harmful. It governs scientific thinking and whatever is contrary to Judeo-Christian traditions. It is symbolic of obstruction, limitations, shortages, destruction, losses, mistakes, hindrances, disruptions, bad luck, dissolutions, and breaking apart. It is also representative of revenge, selfishness, and narrow-mindedness. Saturn is the planet of deception; and signifies temptation, deceit, deceitfulness, the occult and attraction to the occult, and also confusion.(IG:@madaamsaturn) Saturn also governs frustration, disappointment, being unhappy, as well as hatred and repulsion. What’s interesting to note is that Saturn signifies temptations of all kinds and being unable to resist them. Saturn is also a sign of being below average, in a weakened status, in ill health, and in a state of diminished vitality and/or capacity. There are problems in this world, so there has to be a planet that signifies them – and Saturn is the one that does. Also: discipline, control, selfishness, revenge and losses, unfortunate, reduction, undesired, attorneys, science, scientists and scientific thinking, delusions, dominance, obsessiveness, distaste for the status quo, Saturn crystallizes things that have been overlooked or not handled correctly, symbolisms of Saturn are different for historical aspects than personal aspects - Saturn is not bad when it is a personal aspect in the Natal chart - Saturn is bad when it comes to historic aspects.

CHIRON

Is the planet that has rulership over emotional ties, marriages, weddings, the family, spouses, and children. It represents the target of a person’s romantic and marital interest. Chiron also has rulership over promises and commitments of love, including engagements and marriage vows. It governs fertility and pregnancies, and the act of giving birth to children in marriage. Chiron rules the material and romantic instinct and desire of romance, as well as romance itself. It also signifies karmic bonds and intuitive trust.(IG:@madaamsaturn) Chiron has dominion over charisma and a person’s public image; and being noteworthy, esteemed, distinctive, and distinguished in appearance. Chiron is the ruler of your career and how you choose to make a living, as well as where you could be most successful. It also signifies your earning power, the economy, and economics. Chiron imparts extraordinary qualities. It also represents life, death, and reincarnation, and it is symbolic of the future. To say that Chiron is a very important planet is an understatement! Also: Career, trust, free-enterprising, life, and death, earning power, freedom, free will, pioneers and adventurers, famous public image, noteworthy.

SUN

Symbolizes the actual person, day, or entity of the astrological chart. In this regard, the Sun can also represent a relationship, a marriage, a corporation or partnership, a contract, a time period, and anything else that is able to be represented.(IG:@madaamsaturn) If you do not understand this, you will after all the examples that are provided later in this book. The Sun also has rulership over crucial parts of the body, such as the heart and circulatory system, as well as vitality and the essence of the person.

JUNO

Is oriented towards sex whereas Chiron is oriented towards love. Juno rules dating where the goal of dating is to attain uninvolved sex.  Chiron rules courtship and dating with love and/or marriage as the ultimate goal. When it comes to love, there is no planet as potent or important as Chiron. When it comes to sex, there is no planet or asteroid as potent as Juno.  Juno is the most sexual of the planets and is even more sexual than Venus, Mars, or Pluto.  The Juno-Venus Linkage is the ULTIMATE SEXUAL LINKAGE and is the most powerful of all the Sexual Linkages.  The second most powerful Sexual Linkage is the Chiron-Juno Linkage. It is Juno, and not Venus, Mars, or Pluto, that is the primary ruler of sexual attraction and desire.  Juno rules sex appeal and sexual charisma.  Persons with great Juno aspects have great sex appeal.  For example, persons born with Venus trine Juno, or Chiron trine Juno, have enormous sex appeal. A vital characteristic of Juno is that it is irresponsible, does not know how to love, and avoids commitment.  When Chiron has sex, it also makes love; when Juno has sex, it has sex and does not make love. Juno rules the quickie and the need for sexual satisfaction, as opposed to emotional satisfaction. Juno is a Sexual Planet, but the sexual nature of Juno is a little selfish because Juno represents sexual attraction primarily in the physical sense.  Chiron is symbolic of making love in the sharing sense and Chiron represents making love with emotional involvement.  Juno represents sex without emotional involvement or attachment.  For this reason, Juno represents an affair that will not blossom into a marriage. Juno rules sex without commitment. Juno is the ruler of lust and sexual relations without emotional involvement.(IG:@madaamsaturn) Juno represents sex outside of a committed relationship, such as a marriage. For these reasons, Juno is symbolic of the mistress, adultery, infidelity, cheating, illicit sex, casual sex, as well as the affair and the one-night stand. Since Juno rules sex without commitment, Juno is also the ruler of irresponsibility and selfishness, the “me first” and, worse, the “me only” syndrome of a relationship.  Juno is selfish, so much so that Juno is representative of broken promises and the dishonoring of commitments and responsibilities.  Juno (most recently) has also been found to rule drug addiction.

CERES

Although often unethical, materialistic, and selfish, Ceres is considered to be the ‘little Godfather of Business’. Note: We did not formerly include Ceres in charts on the website until one of our articles when we simply explained that Ceres is very powerful, especially when it comes to business matters. Ceres has been included in Magi Society software for well over a decade. In fact, for years, our Members have known that the Magi Society refers to Ceres as the “little Godfather of business” and we have included Ceres in all charts on our Members Only Website.(IG:@madaamsaturn)  Ceres is a Financial Asteroid, just as Juno is a Sexual Asteroid.  Interestingly, Ceres is just as powerful in financial matters as any Financial Planet. (Just as Juno is just as powerful in sexual matters as any Sexual Planet.)  For ease of writing, we will henceforth simply include Ceres as a Financial Planet.

VESTA

Rules friendship, loyalty, gentleness, harmony, compatibility, caring, giving, social relationships, fans, trust, altruism.

PALLAS

Rules logic, organization, and coordination of plans, analysis, and order.

SEDNA

Has no conscience. Sedna is immoral, deceptive, lying, predatory, destructive, violent, bloodthirsty, and rules disaster, upheaval, corruption, illegal profit, and evil.

SAPPHO

Rules fear and panic, extreme and neurotic behavior, compulsions and obsessions, and stock market crashes.

Repost guidelines: I already have a IG, so if you repost let’s do a collab, my IG is @madaamsaturn or I will ask you to delete it!

There is a view that I understand and I find very interesting in this explanation, like Neptune ruling electricity, Uranus is known for that but if we look at it very, very broadly, electricity is a way in which we can control atoms in a way that it generates light, but Uranus is uncontrollable.

However, for meanings like Chiron and Juno it doesn't make any sense, as Chiron's meaning would apply better to Juno, and Juno's explanation would stay with Eros.

Common Signs of a Fire Witch

🔥 Very physically active, even if they're not interested in sports. Just has this overwhelming urge to move or fight, and may often get out of bed because of this

🔥 Your body, especially your hands or core, feels very warm. You're like a human heater

🔥 You were particularly energetic as a kid, or even now. You're spunky

🔥 You're very brave, especially with standing up to people

🔥 You prefer cooler temperatures because it doesn’t bother you as much

🔥 You constantly feel hungry, or have an active digestive system and a fast metabolism. You may get acidity or heartburn a lot

🔥 You prefer hot drinks and food over cold ones

🔥 You feel thirst more often than most

🔥 You are energetic, passionate, dramatic and prone to irritability or being emotionally volatile

🔥 You are very eloquent and expressive, and often may talk too much or too quickly

🔥 You’ve been praised for your leadership ability

🔥 You are very very curious, and may be easily distracted

🔥 You suffer from: anxiety, insomnia, circulatory issues like anemia and palpitations, dizziness or light-headedness, inflammation, skin rashes, aches and pains, loneliness or are easily overwhelmed

Ways to bond with Fire

🔥 Teach yourself not to fear it, or at least not too much. If you’re anything like me, fire kinda scares you, despite your connection to it. Light a candle and meditate, and teach yourself that fire is a part of you, so you shouldn’t fear it without reason.

🔥 If you’re an artist, try using charcoal pencils more often

🔥 Meditate with candles

🔥 Drink warm soup or tea (don’t burn your mouth though)

🔥 Release your passion and/or anger. I recommend getting a punching bag for when you’re feeling particularly riled up

🔥 Working out, or any other activities that make you sweat

🔥 Burn Bay Leaves with wishes on them to make them come true

🔥 Get a Himalayan Salt Lamp. Don’t use it if you have pets though, as it might harm them

🔥 Use a Heating Pad when you’re in pain

🔥 Take time to notice your body heat more often. Appreciate how warm your skin and breath feels

🔥 Pursue your passions, whatever those might be. If it makes you passionate, go for it. Fire is the element of not holding back

🔥 Channel your passion and especially your anger into productivity rather than pain

🔥 Drink tea with warm spices

🔥 Eat spicy food if you can handle it

🔥 Be brave in all things

🔥 Use more Dragon imagery in your life
