Trick or treat!
It’s that time of year again when the weather is changing, summer is finally behind us and we all look forward to the tradition of dressing up and scaring each other. Are you ready for some spooky fun?
And most importantly, are you ready to find out which Halloween costume is best for you based on your zodiac sign?
How did Halloween start?
The history of Halloween is tied to the Celtic tradition of Samhain, which runs from October 31 to November 1. Samhain was considered the most important time to remember the dead, as it was believed that the boundaries between the worlds of the dead and the living were becoming thinner.
Many of the Halloween festivities we participate in today are based on ancient Samhain rituals, including the still-popular tradition of dressing up in a Halloween costume to trick-or-treat!
What Halloween costume should your zodiac sign dress up in?
Whatever your theme or destination this Halloween, thinking about what the best costume would be is guaranteed to make a splash!
Read on to find out what the best Halloween costume is for you!
Aries Costume: Superhero
Aries are the fearless leaders we all love to follow – especially when it comes to sports and competition. In the heyday of superhero cinema – and with more choice than ever – now’s the perfect time to dress up as your favorite action star!
From the groundbreaking Black Panther to the powerful Wonder Woman or even the anti-hero Venom, we have a wider base than ever to choose from – supes are a great fit for Aries.
Bull costume: Roman historical figure
The Romans were people who loved luxury and leisure. Roman women loved their jewelry, and the Romans were known for their famous baths, one of the most relaxing pastimes they enjoyed.
As a Taurus you love luxury and lounging. Nothing makes you happier than sitting back, enjoying good food and letting all your worries slip away while you enjoy some relaxation. A good foot massage doesn’t hurt either!
So why not act as a Roman historical figure this Halloween? They were real Bulls!
Twin Costume: Butterfly
Shall we say social butterfly? That’s exactly what Gemini is – so what better costume for this Halloween than one of these adorable insects!
Grab (or make) a pair of butterfly wings, paint your face different colors and show everyone your true colors. Gemini is the sign that loves to socialize, and if you’re flitting back and forth this Halloween, let your radiant sun log off!
Lobster costume: nymph/satyr
With the emotional Water Sign Cancer being ruled by the Moon, it is only fitting that a mystical and magical costume be chosen for all you Cancerians out there!
Dryads were spirits from Greek mythology who took the form of beautiful women. Satyrs are the male equivalent of the dryad.
Your costume is one of the most beautiful costumes we’ve ever seen, and we think it suits this deep and nurturing sign very well.
Lion Costume: Big Cat
Okay, it may seem a bit cliché, but can you really imagine anything different? Leo the Lion does the number one costume for your plate! Not only does it represent you at heart, but it also shows everyone the awesome power of You.
So whether it’s a lion, tiger, leopard or another big cat, let that strong and noble feline spirit shine through this Halloween!
Virgo costume: French peasant
You may be thinking: Hmm – why?
Virgo is a sign of humility— argumentprobably one of the greatest virtues anyone can possess. Traditionally, a French peasant is a sign of a humble background and a life within means.
If there’s one thing Virgo is known for, it’s living within their means! This is a responsible sign and one that gets a lot of respect from those around them because of their ability to save, save, save. French farmers were just as frugal!
Think Lesson Mis with a twist!
Libra: Greek goddess/god
Ruled by Venus, there is certainly only one Halloween costume that can justify the beauty you idolize, Libra: a Greek God/Goddess!
Venus is the Roman counterpart of the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite. Why don’t you go as Aphrodite or Hera? Like Zeus or Poseidon?
It gives you the chance to show the world how beautiful you really are!
Scorpio: Vampire
Do you know those really sexy vampires? The Vampire Diaries or Twilight? That’s you, Scorpio.
No one can deny that you are just oozing with sex appeal, no matter how hard you try to hide it. That whole mysterious and seductive thing just draws people like moths to the flame!
The vampire is the costume of choice for you and brings out the famous Scorpio sexiness even more than usual – plus it’s very Halloween-esque!
Sagittarius: Robin Hood
Or girl Marion, depending on what you prefer.
The heroic adventurer with a penchant for bow and arrow, just like you, Sag! Sagittarius is represented by the centaur, a mythical creature with the head and torso of a man and the body of a horse.
Living on the edge is in your blood, just like being wild and free. Robin Hood was all that – and honestly, you would look so cool in green tights!
Capricorn: Professor
Be it a stiff Giles Buffy type of teacher, the sexy teacher of everyone’s dreams, or a Dumbledore-type of teacher, the look of a private teacher is you, Capricorn.
Ruled by Saturn, your sign is all about discipline. Discipline and hard work. What better costume for you than one that represents your ruling planet at its best?
And if you really want to spice things up and you have something fun going on, you can always turn yourself into Christian Gray – he’s a teacher too (in his own special way!)
Aquarius: Inventor
You are the crazies of the zodiac, but you are also the inventors, the risk takers, the dreamers with the ability to turn a crazy idea into something tangible and amazing. Why not as a well-known entrepreneur or whiz kid?
There are many to choose from. What is your favorite invention?
Put on your favorite black turtleneck and maybe go as Steve Jobs Elon Musk (he has a crazy rocket company), or one of the grandfathers of invention – we can thank him for his swim fins and bifocals: Benjamin Franklin.
Pisces: Popular TV character
Creative Pisces are often drawn to fantasy worlds – it helps you escape the harsh everyday realities that can overwhelm you if you can’t create positive change. The sign of the fish is also known for being helpful and caring, rushing to the aid of others, sometimes at the risk of their own emotional health.
So why not delve into your favorite fantasy? Grab a green tracksuit and become a player in the popular Squid game. Or maybe you’re more of a Henry Cavill and want to embody the witcher – whether you like a video game or a TV show.
It’s time for some spooky fun
Choosing a costume comes down to a lot of things: how much you plan ahead, how much you want to spend, and what your motivation is for buying one. Are you going to a party? Host one? Just open the door to trick-or-treaters? Want to take part in a competition at work?
Great costumes take some thought and planning, but sometimes what you throw together at the last minute at a thrift store can be a total scream. Whether we hit the nail on the head or not with our suggestions, we hope you get out there and have some spooky fun! Tell us if you liked any of these or what you would choose instead!
