The Wiccan wheel of the year is a calendar. There are eight sabbats during the Wiccan Wheel of The year. Four of the sabbats have fixed dates and four move by a day or two each year depending on the solstices and equinoxes.
The sabbat dates differ in the northern and southern hemispheres. Which makes sense when you think about our seasonal differences. In December it’s summer in the southern hemisphere but it’s winter in the northern hemisphere.
Yule occurs on approx. December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 June in the Southern Hemisphere.
Imbolc occurs on 2 February in the Northern Hemisphere and 1 August in the Southern Hemisphere
Ostara occurs on March 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 September in the Southern Hemisphere.
Beltane occurs on 1 May in the Northern Hemisphere and 1 November in the Southern Hemisphere.
Litha occurs on 21 June in the Northern Hemisphere and 21 December in the southern hemisphere.
Lughnasadh occurs on 1 August in the Northern Hemisphere and 1 February in the Southern Hemisphere.
Mabon occurs on September 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and March 21 in the Southern Hemisphere.
Samhain occurs on 31 October / 1 November in the Northern Hemisphere and 1 May in the Southern Hemisphere.
