What You Should Be for Halloween, Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Aries (March 21–April 19): Spartan

People of this zodiac sign are straightforward and direct. That is why for Halloween, dressing up is a simple task for Aries. “Aries will be content with a quick makeup illusion or a statement piece that is easy to put on,” says astrologer Guadalupe Terrones. “Aries rules the head, so likely most of their costume will be makeup, a headband, or something else they can wear and take off [easily].” Skip the full Halloween costume and gear up with this King Leonidas Spartan helmet, a special effects modeling wax kit for realistic cuts and scabs, or an apropos mystical ram’s horn headpiece.

Taurus (April 20–May 20): Voodoo priestess

When it comes to dressing up for Halloween, Taurus is the exact opposite of Aries. This zodiac sign relishes any chance to primp and preen, so elaborate and impressive costumes appeal most to them. “Taurus will need the whole day to get ready for Halloween, but it will be worth it,” Terrones says. “By the end of the night, they will be unrecognizable. Taurus sees dressing up and getting made up as an art form, and this is just another night to show off their skills.”

Gemini (May 21–June 20): Bank robber

For Gemini, the fun of Halloween is partying with friends. Friends of Geminis, beware: They like to play the trickster. “Gemini is the type to play pranks on everyone during Halloween,” Terrones says. “They need a costume that’s going to let them carry a bunch of tricks up their sleeve. They’re also the most likely to disappear for a costume change.” Kick off the night as a bank robber or Little Red Riding Hood so you can carry some surprises in your money sack or wicker basket.

Cancer (June 21–July 22): Flying squirrel

Cancer never feels better than when in the comfort of their own home, and the same is true even on Halloween. “Cancer is a stay-at-home sign,” Terrones says, “so I can see them in an animal onesie and calling it a costume. If Cancer dresses up, then the costume better be comfortable. No tight corsets or high heels for this sign.” Snuggle into this flying squirrel onesie, and stuff the hidden pockets with as much candy as you can grab! The “wings” provide extra coziness and can serve as a kind of blanket when you curl up with your family to watch your favorite scary movie or to tell the best ghost stories.

Leo (July 23–August 22): Waldo

Leos thrive in social settings, thanks to their gregarious and charismatic natures. However, this spooky holiday is not necessarily a dark and creepy one for people of this zodiac sign. “Leo is the sun,” Terrones explains, “and Halloween is all about tricking and treating under the darkness of the moon. They’ll want to wear something that brightens up the room and turns heads.” So, if you’re a Leo, you’ll probably want to take a goofier approach.

Virgo (August 23–September 22): As themselves

Even if a Virgo loves Halloween, they will likely skip dressing up this year simply because it is not practical. With no major parties to attend due to the pandemic, people of this zodiac sign won’t really see the point in putting in the same effort they usually would. They’d rather find ways to save money this Halloween. “If they do dress up,” Terrones surmises, “you won’t be able to tell that they did, even though they’ll tell you exactly who or what they’re portraying when asked.”

Libra (September 23–October 22): Royalty

Libra finds the greatest joy in working with others, so being part of a pair or a group Halloween costume will be the most fun for them. “[Libra] will be the sign to do a complementary costume with their partner,” Terrones says. “If single, Libra, ruled by the goddess of beauty, will get all dolled up for the night hoping to meet their mate or vibe with a soul sibling.” Choose a costume that can stand on its own but also has the ability to be a joint costume, like Iron Man (you’re bound to run into other Avengers) or a royal robe.

Scorpio (October 23–November 21): Grim Reaper

Hail, kings and queens of darkness! Halloween season is also Scorpio season, so you will be in your element tonight. “Scorpio owns Halloween,” Terrones says. “Scorpio has no issues wearing the darkest, spookiest costume out there. It’s the only time they feel seen for their depth without having to fear being judged for it.” You know in your bones that Halloween isn’t a time to joke around—it’s time for a scare.

Sagittarius (November 22–December 21): Masquerade mask

Sagittarius sees October 31 as just another night to party, only with a theme. “For them, it’s more about the new people they’ll meet or the unforgettable experiences they’ll have,” Terrones explains. “Pulling an all-nighter requires a costume that both supports their stamina and fits in with the culture.” Wear something easy yet flattering, like a form-fitting military costume or a marvelous Venetian masquerade mask.

Capricorn (December 22–January 19): Historical figure

“Capricorn will wear a costume that is classy, made from clothes they probably already had in their closet,” Terrones says. “They don’t want the frills or the fuss—and they want to look respectable.” Your Halloween costume, Capricorn, will be at the intersection of convenience and wit. It will be something that doesn’t take much effort but still conveys your status and aptitude.

Aquarius (January 20–February 18): Something punny

The most idiosyncratic zodiac sign, Aquarius always tries for the most original costume. “Aquarius will wear a costume that no one understands, just so they can start a conversation about the subject,” Terrones says. “They’ll wear whatever gives them an outlet for talking about their ideas in hopes of garnering acceptance for them.”

Pisces (February 19–March 20): Something artistic

“Pisces sees Halloween as an opportunity for expression,” Terrones says. To you, Pisces, a Halloween costume isn’t so much about the scare factor as it is about flaunting your artistic capability. “While Taurus is skilled at creatively dressing up,” Terrones elaborates, “Pisces doesn’t want to just create a costume that looks good. They want to create a costume with a bigger message.”
