The Astrology Advantage
Spooky vibes incoming
Halloween occurs during Scorpio season every year, adding to the spooky season vibes. The Sun in this shape-shifting sign already lends an air of mystery. But hold on to your trick-or-treat bag because the day before Halloween communicative Mercury forms an opposition to erratic Uranus. Don’t expect your mouth to be able to keep pace with your thoughts.
The cosmic collision of irreverent Mercury with Uranus sends your mind into overdrive. But hold your tongue before rebellious Uranus seizes the mic. In this case, the first thought probably isn’t the best thought. Because Mercury is in sharp-tongued Scorpio, your zingers come with stingers. Just because you’ve thought of the prizewinning comeback, doesn’t mean you should say it out loud. Open mouth, insert full-size candy bar instead?

Aries (March 21-April 19) Halloween horoscope
Is that a werewolf in sheep’s clothing? First impressions aren’t always what they seem, particularly under the enchanting spell of Halloween. As clever Mercury in your depth realm aligns with mystical Neptune in your intuition corner, trust that there are hidden layers beneath the surface. What initially appeared trivial may reveal profound riches. Instead of hastily reacting, allow your sixth sense to guide you. The unseen forces at play will whisper the truth if you listen closely, unveiling the secrets cloaked in the shadows. Read more Aries horoscopes
Aries Halloween costume ideas: Think witchy, sexy. Grab a partner for a take on Ariana Grande’s Wicked (your warrior sign can fight it out for who gets to be Elphaba and Glinda). Or dress as Ariana’s turn as Jennifer Coolidge’s reflection in the Maybelline sketch on SNL. Pink boa, so cute! Edgier Rams can don leather jackets and gloves for a biker costume that captures this sign’s rebellious side.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Halloween horoscope
Tune into the subtle, unseen currents swirling around you on Halloween. Savvy Mercury in your relationship realm weaves a delicate connection with empathic Neptune, giving you an uncanny ability to sense people’s emotions, as if by telepathy. That doesn’t mean you should lift the mask indiscriminately. Be sensitive about having certain conversations around a general audience. You may need to pull people aside for a one-on-one chat—far from the prying eyes and ears of the local energy vampires. Read more Taurus horoscopes
Taurus Halloween costume ideas: Looking for a man in finance, trust fund, 6’5″, blue eyes…If the shoe fits, wear it! Or a Patagonia vest to channel your best “finance bro.” Eternally-cool Cher (who is a Bull!) stunned at the revived Victoria’s Secret fashion show, and you can, too. Softer Bulls can make a ‘60s-inspired flower child or bohemian costume. Got anything left from that summer music festival that fits the bill? Don a long blond wig and black dress and transform into TikTok’s “very demure, very mindful” Jules LeBron—no green cross-cut please!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Halloween horoscope
Put your phone in “ghost mode” and get lost in the moment. With your celestial ruler, Mercury, forming an ethereal alliance with Neptune, that might even include an ambitious project that you want to make headway on before you meet the rest of the costumed revelers. Guard against the specters of distraction, which tend to materialize when boredom sets in. Channel every ounce of your focus, and watch as your work becomes nothing short of spellbinding. Read more Gemini horoscopes
Gemini Halloween costume ideas: [tap, tap] hello, is this thing on? Grab a mic and be your version of whichever person behind one this year gave you the most inspo—Michelle Obama at the convention? The Advocate named pop music goddess and LGBTQ+ ally Cyndi Lauper “advocate of the year”—her iconic style is costume creativity heaven. Your sign is ruled by communication planet Mercury, so even if your get-up is a little vague, you’ll have no problem explaining it and conversing with some new faces. Or go literally as a Twin, your sign’s symbol: the sisters from The Shining, the Property Brothers.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Halloween horoscope
You might feel like pulling a bewitching reversal this Halloween, Cancer. Instead of hiding behind a disguise, drop the mask and reveal your vibrant, authentic self! Chalk it up to a bold collaboration between Mercury in your theatrical fifth house and boundary-dissolving Neptune in your candid ninth. This isn’t how your guarded sign traditionally rolls, which only adds to the shock value—and the charm. That goes double if you pull this off while dressed as your favorite popstar, Marvel superhero or haunted figure. Read more Cancer horoscopes
Cancer Halloween costume ideas: Over-the-top glam—Google image search and take your pick! Classic fairy tale characters like Snow White or Prince Charming. A pop culture mom or dad: Moira Rose from Schitt’s Creek (a wig and hat are a must!), Dude Dad (hoodie and tool belt, obvi). A homebody (wear that adult-size Unicorn jammie zip-up!) or a Crab if you want to be literal with your sign and have something to hide in at the party. If you have a crew, the stars of The Great British Bake Off make a delicious ensemble. Hit a bakery on the way to the party for the most authentic props!
Leo (July 23-August 22) Halloween horoscope
You might not be the loudest werewolf in the pack this Halloween, Leo, and that’s okay. Esoteric Neptune in your house of secrets casts a spell over normally loquacious Mercury, illuminating the sacred art of silence. You might feel like skipping the boisterous gatherings in favor of intimate, soul-stirring conversations with your inner circle or one sultry soul. This is a night for communion with those who matter most. Delve deep into the shadowy corners of your emotions—and maybe share a few ghost stories from your past. Read more Leo horoscopes
Leo Halloween costume ideas: the spotlight is calling! Your favorite movie star. King or Queen. Anyone royal, really! Wear that crown, literally. Still got your BRAT summer swag? A lime green costume that nods to the summer’s hottest color trend can stretch to Halloween, which is just weeks before the U.S. election. Your favorite rock star or pop icon, like the OTT Sabrina Carpenter or Billie Eilish. A magician. The gold medalist from the Summer Olympics, in a leotard and tight bun, like the incomparable Simone Biles.
Virgo (August 23-September 22) Halloween horoscope
What’s the harm in a little kiss? Boundaries could get fuzzy this Halloween as flirty Mercury dances with dreamy Neptune in your partnership realm. A platonic companion may suddenly seem possessed by an irresistible allure or you may be drawn in by a wickedly funny exchange with a stranger. Whether single or attached, let yourself be swept along with the spooky serendipity of the day. Signs and serendipities could present themselves at every turn and you owe it to yourself to discover whether they’ll lead you to a treat. Read more Virgo horoscopes
Virgo Halloween costume ideas: buddies, BFFs. Classic takes on librarian or scholar. Book characters. Offred from Handmaid’s Tail makes a statement in an election year. A book worm! Gardener. Detective. Ensemble costume award incoming for Only Murders in the Building—season 4 provides the blueprint for “duplicating” Selena Gomez’s and her co-stars’ characters.
Libra (September 23-October 22) Halloween horoscope
How about this for a plot twist? While every else is out playing dress-up, you’re ready to sink into a state of almost supernatural concentration. Enchanting Neptune is weaving a spell with mindful Mercury this Halloween and with both planets parked in the most industrious parts of your chart, you can’t help but feel productive. Still, Libra, you’re not one to miss a party. When you’re done entering data or fine-tuning a presentation, pick up a hot-glue gun and turn that focus toward adding special touches to your costume. What you create in the eleventh hour could amaze you. Read more Libra horoscopes
Libra Halloween costume ideas: decadent historical figure, baroque queen, socialite, Bridgerton character. Or any of the royals, past or present (Lady Di is always a classic!) Power-suit lawyer for the sign of justice; Netflix reminded us of the main characters of the Mendendez trial: attorney Leslie Abramson (TikTok has tons of vids of costume essentials) and the late Vanity Fair legend Dominick Dunne (signature round glasses required). Sidenote: with the Libra new moon solar eclipse supercharging your sign earlier this month, be sure you know who’s behind the masks you attract while you’re out trick-or-treating.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) Halloween horoscope
On this Halloween night, Scorpio, indulge yourself in the kind of opulence that only the spooky season allows. Not only will the moon head into your sign mid-day, but Mercury in Scorpio aligns with fantasy-agent Neptune in your fifth house of pleasure. Translation? The evening begs for indulgence, whether in decadent treats, luxurious self-care, or the simple joy of dancing and singing past the witching hour. Perform some Scorpio sorcery and make all feelings of guilt disappear as you toast the mysteries and transformations you’ve navigated this year.

Scorpio Halloween costume ideas: warrior, gladiator, House of Dragon character. Sorcerer or fortune teller. Spy or detective. Ghost hunter (or Ghostbuster).

(Dance moves optional) Classic costumes work great for this mysterious sign: vampire, zombie, witch, warlock, Medusa.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) Halloween horoscope
Beware of the ghosts lurking in the recesses of your subconscious, Sagittarius. This Halloween Thursday, cerebral Mercury in your hidden sector weaves a thread of connection with psychic Neptune, amplifying the whispers of self-doubt that may creep in. It’s crucial to recognize these fleeting phantoms for what they are: illusions. When negative thoughts appear, flip them on their heads, banishing them like spirits to the ether. Today, your power lies in the ability to manifest positivity from even the darkest corners—ideally with a karaoke mic in hand. Read more Sagittarius horoscopes
Sagittarius Halloween costume ideas: elven creature, fantasy creature. Bow and arrow to channel your sign’s symbol, the Archer, maybe as Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games or Norman Reedus (Darryl) from The Walking Dead. No shortage of ideas for this sign’s classic costume, especially if you are into DIY (hello, Pinterest!). Space traveler or astronaut. A famous explorer, safari, or conservationist Jane Goddall. Cowboy or cowgirl (Beyoncé style!)
Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Halloween horoscope
Yes, it’s technically still a work night, Capricorn, but it’s Halloween. So cast off your usual sense of obligation and step into the enchanting dance of life. Sociable Mercury’s alignment with imaginative Neptune rolls out the red carpet for a night of fun. Rearrange your to-do list and allow yourself to get carried along by spontaneous fun. Start with a haunted happy hour or an interview with a vampire (over dinner, of course). You might not want to stop once you get rolling along. Read more Capricorn horoscopes
Capricorn costume ideas: Power broker! You’re on a mission this Halloween. Kamala Harris has given us plenty of power suits to choose from during this election year. Or how about power athlete? Hair in a pony and a basketball uniform makes you WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark. You could also mine from the Summer Olympics in Paris and channel your favorite sport. Tempting to bust some moves Raygun-style, but the trick is to keep it fun while not making fun.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Halloween horoscope
What tricks and treats do you have hidden in your toolbox of talents, Aquarius? As clever Mercury makes a beguiling connection to Neptune, you’re quite the imagineer. There are always problems to solve, that’s just life. Today, see what happens if you approach them from new, inventive angles, and consult with people who have ventured through similar labyrinths. Before you head off to see Rocky Horror tonight, you may just unlock a solution that feels delivered straight from the mystical realms. Read more Aquarius horoscopes
Aquarius Halloween costume ideas: Aquarius is the sign of technology, and 2024 has arguably been a watershed year for AI, so what can your futuristic sign do to illustrate that? Too esoteric? Alien costumes are your sign’s go-to, sure to be in stock at whichever Spirit store you stumble into if you don’t already have one on hand. Make it a group effort? The Peanuts gang or a Joker: Folie a Deux ensemble—Lady Gaga is your muse!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) Halloween horoscope
Embrace your role as the dreamer this Halloween, the visionary, the one who follows their most enchanting fantasies. As clever Mercury in your adventurous ninth house aligns with your ruling planet Neptune in your sign, you have permission to disregard the mundane and let your intuition lead. Whether it’s casting a spell for success or weaving an imaginative plan, you may be a party of one in the beginning. Just follow your bliss and don’t worry about it. People will catch on in due time. Read more Pisces horoscopes
Pisces Halloween costume ideas: Permission to express your style and emotions? Thanks, Pisces Queen Chappel Roan! If a pop star sequin bodysuit doesn’t make you feel HOTTOGO, go for something unlikely to be duped at the party, like world traveler. Roll a suitcase and get a fresh pack of film for your Instax camera so you can keep the memories. The sign of the Fish has some solid stand-by options, too: mermaid or merman, sea god (Neptune, with trident) or goddess, or literal fish or sea creature of your choosing!
