Let me first get into my costume: Enter CAMP MODE! This is not my usual blog post filled with insight with a dash of wit and humor. It’s fun mode – something my Capricorn Moon has difficult doing, but we all need some balance. Hello, my Libra rising, I see you!
Storm Chasers, it’s that time of year again: pumpkin spice is in the air (don’t get me going on this), your neighbor has gone way too far with their lawn decorations, and you’re scrambling to find a Halloween costume that screams, “I know myself, and I look fabulous!” But fear not! I am here to give you the ultimate guide to Halloween costumes based on your zodiac sign—and you’re going to slay (in a good way)!
Before we dive into the astrological costume extravaganza, let’s have a quick chat about Halloween itself, shall we? The short version! This Ghoulish holiday didn’t start as a way for you to wear cat ears and eat candy corn until you regret it. No, no. Halloween—or All Hallows’ Eve, as it was originally called—has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced “sow-in” because ancient languages like to keep us on our toes). Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of wintertime when the veil between the living and the dead was thinnest, and spirits (not the cocktail kind) could walk among us.
Now that we’ve brushed up on our history, let’s get into the real reason you’re here: your perfect zodiac-inspired Halloween costume!
Aries (March 21 – April 19) – The Warrior
Let’s be real, Aries—you don’t just want to be victorious, you need it like Dracula needs blood. So why not lean into your fiery, fearless nature and go as a warrior? Whether you’re channeling your inner gladiator, Viking, or Wonder Woman, you’re going to walk into the party like you’re ready to slay (again, figuratively). Just try not to duel anyone before dessert is served.
Bonus Tip: Bring a plastic sword. You don’t need any real weapons—your attitude is sharp enough. Okay, I get it, you’re an Aries, bring a real sword!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – The Greek God(dess)
Taurus, darling, you’ve never met a plush robe or velvet slipper you didn’t like. You love the finer things in life, and it’s no secret that you have a bit of a lazy streak. So why not make comfort chic this Halloween by dressing as a Greek god or goddess? Think flowing robes, golden laurel crowns, and a chalice filled with something divine (aka wine). Your look will say, “I’m here to party, but only if the snacks are artisanal.”
Bonus Tip: Demand grapes. Constantly.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – The Twins
Oh Gemini, you complex creature. You’re basically two people in one fabulous package, so naturally, you need a costume that reflects your duality. Go as the classic split-personality costume: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, or if you’re feeling cheeky, grab a partner and be the Shining twins. Either way, people will wonder which side of you they’re talking to—and that’s exactly how you like it.
Bonus Tip: Practice saying, “Come play with us…” in the creepiest voice possible.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – The Ghost
Sweet Cancer, you’re all about emotional depth, family ties, and let’s face it, you probably enjoy staying home a bit more than the average person. So why not lean into your comfort zone and go as a ghost? Not a scary ghost, mind you. You’ll be a comforting ghost—like Casper, but with a flair for the dramatic. After all, you want people to know that even though you’ve crossed to the other side, you’re still available for heart-to-hearts.
Bonus Tip: Carry tissues, just in case someone needs to cry (or if you do).
Leo (July 23 – August 22) – The Royalty
Leo, you were born for Halloween. Scratch that—you were born for every holiday where you can show off. A lion may be the symbol of your sign, but let’s be honest: you’re more of a queen or king, and everyone needs to know it. So throw on a crown, grab a scepter, and make sure your royal wave is on point. You’ll have people bowing down in no time (even if it’s just to compliment your costume).
Bonus Tip: Don’t forget to demand “trick or tribute” instead of “trick or treat.”
Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – The Detective
Virgo, we all know that you love solving puzzles and analyzing everything. So why not channel your inner Sherlock Holmes this Halloween? You’ll look fabulous in a trench coat, deerstalker hat, and magnifying glass. Plus, you can spend the entire night solving the mystery of who stole the last mini-Snickers from the candy bowl. (Spoiler alert: It was probably you, but your sleuthing skills will get you out of any accusations.)
Bonus Tip: Have a catchphrase ready, like “Elementary, my dear Watson!” You know, just in case.
Libra (September 23 – October 22) – The Hollywood Starlet
Libra is ruled by Venus, and you’re all about beauty, elegance, and charm. So naturally, your costume should scream glamour. Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe and go as a classic Hollywood starlet. Glam it up with a gorgeous gown, pearls, and a dramatic fur (faux, of course). Just be prepared for everyone to want your autograph—and possibly a selfie.
Bonus Tip: Make sure your makeup is on point because all eyes will be on you. No pressure!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – The Vampire
Ah, Scorpio. The sign of mystery, intensity, and a little obsession with death and transformation. You were born for Halloween, and no costume speaks to your dark, seductive energy quite like a vampire. Slip into some fangs, a velvet cape, and get ready to smolder. You’ll have everyone wondering if you really do have the power to hypnotize them with just one glance.
Bonus Tip: Practice your best “I want to suck your blood” line—delivered with full drama, of course.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – The Adventurer
Sagittarius, you’re the zodiac’s free spirit, and your ideal Halloween involves something active, adventurous, and fun. So why not channel Indiana Jones or Lara Croft this year? Throw on your best adventure gear, grab a whip (or bow and arrow), and be ready to explore every corner of the party. Your costume will scream, “I’m here for a good time, and possibly to uncover some ancient artifact.”
Bonus Tip: Don’t actually steal anything from the party—unless it’s a killer appetizer recipe.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – The CEO
Capricorn, you’re all about ambition, power, and making things happen. So it makes perfect sense for you to go as a high-powered CEO or business mogul. Grab a briefcase, wear your sharpest suit, and act like you’re about to close a million-dollar deal—because in your mind, you probably are. Just make sure to schedule “fun” into your Halloween night, okay?
Bonus Tip: Bring business cards. You never know when networking might come in handy.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – The Alien
Aquarius, you’re the zodiac’s resident weirdo (and I mean that with love). You’re all about thinking outside the box and embracing the strange, so why not go full extraterrestrial this Halloween? Paint yourself green, throw on some antennas, and embrace your cosmic weirdness. You’ll have everyone at the party asking, “What planet are you from?”—and trust me, you’ll love it.
Bonus Tip: Learn some alien lingo, like “Take me to your leader!” It’s all about the details.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – The Mystic
Ah, Pisces. Dreamy, spiritual, and always one foot in another realm. Your perfect Halloween costume is a mystical one, like a fortune teller or mermaid. Go for flowing robes, glittering accessories, and all the mystical vibes. People will flock to you for your wisdom (and probably for a tarot reading), and you’ll love being the enigmatic soul at the party.
Bonus Tip: Bring a crystal ball. Because why not?
There you have it, folks—your zodiac-inspired Halloween costume guide! Whether you’re slaying as a warrior, ruling as royalty, or floating around as a friendly ghost, you’re guaranteed to own the night. Just don’t forget to enjoy a little candy while you’re at it. Happy Halloween!
