The Northern & Southern Sabbat Dates
The southern Hemisphere differs from the Northern Hemisphere in the following ways:
In the Southern Hemisphere, the moon and all of the other planets move across the night sky from right to left. Here in the Northern Hemisphere everything moves from the left to the right.
