The mysterious is what they crave.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Aug 30, 2018
What would make a certain zodiac sign more apt to be attracted to the occult would depend upon a set of complex astrological events in the individual's chart. Astrology is right up there with the occult, and those who find fascination with one, often times invoke the power of the other.
What is the occult? And what is it that the occult has that could attract in the first place? More than likely, the occult attracts everyone because it is admitted mystery, and everyone loves mystery.
There are supposed powers to be achieved, through one's love and honor of nature, of the Moon, of the Night, sensuous flesh, animals, the earth, the cosmos. The occult celebrates adversity, welcomes spontaneity, creates potions, uses crystals, and does a whole lot of meditation. There may even be coconut oil involved.
Who can resist such a path? Whoever can, well... that's who will determine who is attracted to the path of the occult arts, as there are certain signs that are, by nature, more skeptical about the mysterious and tend to be pragmatic. But these 6 signs are most attracted to the occult.
1. ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Where there is dominance, as there is naturally in the Aries personality, there is also a need to control. The occult whispers of hidden knowledge that could create personal power — the stuff an Aries cannot resist.
Aries is an exceptionally magical and gifted sign, it's no wonder so many of them practice the magical arts.
2. PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
You know how there's always that psychic aunt or neighbor in the family? She's a Pisces.
It's always the Pisces who predicts correctly whether you're going to have a boy or a girl (hopefully, you're pregnant at the time, of course), and it's your Pisces mother-in-law who will smell trouble in the air...because she's psychic!
3. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Stand back, man or woman — it's a witch. Cancer doesn't just become fascinated by the occult, Cancer becomes the occult. If Cancer had a spokesperson, it would be Stevie Nicks, who is oddly a Gemini. She MUST have Cancer in one of her houses, I tell ya!
Still, that spooky kid from school? That's the Cancer kid who turned into the Sorcerer next door. Hello, Harry.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This sign is prone to rebellion. As the sign of order and balance, they are often ripe and ready to stray from that kind of control, which is usually found in religion, and veer on to something a little more... dark.
Libra thinks on their own and they do what they want, and in their fight for personal knowledge, so many of them find the best avenues are along the Left Hand Path.
5. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
It will be your Sagittarius child that you catch creating his or her first witchcraft box, stuffed with black candles, the stupidest of your kitchen knives, a bic lighter and some horrendously black book of hexes and spells.
Sags aren't about holding back when they feel passionate about something, and the invisible dark has so much to investigate! Ghost hunters are often times Sagittarians.
6. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Head in the clouds. I remember that's how they used to describe the original airheads of the zodiac. What no one gets is that while they don that vapid look that signifies they're in another world, they're actually in another world.
They are lucid dreamers and take wild voyages while awake. Don't be surprised if your Aquarian friend is into strange phenomenon like Bigfoot... and no one reaches out for extraterrestrial promise like Aquarius.
