2011 Pagan Sabbat Dates

According to several sources that I came across, the astrological cross-quarter sabbat dates are determined as follows:

Imbolc is when the Sun is at 15 degrees Aquarius
Beltaine is when the Sun is at 15 degrees Taurus
Lughnasadh is when the Sun is at 15 degrees Leo
Samhain is when the Sun is at 15 degrees Scorpio

These dates can change each year so they are not repeated set dates.

  1. Thank you for sharing. I never realized how different (though generally close) the dates could be depending on which calendar you use!
