🎃 After Halloween: your personalized 2027 horoscope ✨
Calculated from your birth chart and this year's sky, it lands in your inbox within minutes.
Every year it's the same story: Halloween is coming, the party is planned, and you still have no idea what to dress up as. Don't worry, I've got the answer: your zodiac sign. It says so much about your personality, so why not let it pick your costume! Pirate, vampire, witch or skeleton: the perfect Halloween costume is the one that feels like you.
And here's a happy coincidence: Halloween always falls right in the middle of Scorpio season, the most mysterious sign of the zodiac. Spooky vibes guaranteed. Below, I've picked a costume for each of the 12 signs, plus the one accessory that will make all the difference on the night of October 31.

Long before candy and pumpkins, there was Samhain, the great Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of the dark season, beginning on the evening of October 31. Legend had it that on this night, the veil between the world of the living and the world of spirits grew thinner. People wore disguises to blend in with the wandering souls and avoid being recognized by evil spirits.
In the 8th century, the Church set All Saints' Day on November 1: the evening before became All Hallows' Eve, which gave us "Halloween". In Ireland and Scotland, people dressed up to go door to door reciting rhymes in exchange for a little food, and carved turnips into lanterns. In the 19th century, Irish immigrants brought the holiday to America, where the turnip gave way to the pumpkin, which is much easier to carve.
So costumes have always been a way to play with the invisible. Today, they're mostly a way to play with yourself: to show a side you hide the rest of the year. And for that, nothing beats your sign. Want to go further that night? Try our special Halloween love ritual.

“The pirate ready to board”
You can't sit still and you always charge in first: the pirate costume was made for you. Tricorn hat, eye patch, plastic sword (let's skip the real one, Mars is warlike enough as it is): you storm the party and recruit your crew before you've even taken off your coat.
My tip: add a spyglass so you can spot the snack table before everyone else. And a candy pouch, because loot is meant to be brought home.
“The comfy ghost”
You love comfort, real comfort, and you have no intention of spending the evening stuck in an itchy costume. The ghost is your best friend: a white sheet, two eye holes, done. Venus still whispers that you should pick a nice sheet (linen, obviously).
My tip: slip a blanket underneath and keep your slippers on. No one will notice, and you'll be the most relaxed ghost in the haunted house, right next to the candy bowl.
“The spell-casting witch”
You've got the gift of gab and a sparkling mind: the witch (or wizard) fits you like a glove. Pointy hat, broom, wand: you spend the evening casting spells on everyone, and inventing new ones every ten minutes, thanks to Mercury.
My tip: prepare three magic spells in advance, one for each guest who interrupts you. And bring a second hat: by midnight, you'll already want to switch characters.
“The family costume”
For you, Halloween is first and foremost a celebration to share with the people you love. So why choose alone? Go for a family costume with a shared theme: a family of witches, vampires or gothic aristocrats, Addams Family style. The Moon, your planet, loves a close-knit tribe.
My tip: launch the theme in the family group chat right now, or your cousin will show up as a superhero again. And keep the hot chocolate warm for when you get home.
“The flamboyant vampire”
You love a grand entrance, a swirling cape and every head turning your way: the vampire is tailor-made for your flair. High collar, red and black cape, artfully tousled mane: the Sun lends you its glow, even in the middle of the night (quite ironic for a vampire, I know).
My tip: work on your entrance, not just your costume. A dramatic pause in the doorway, and the party is yours. Bring candy fangs, they're much more practical at the buffet.
“The very organized mad scientist”
You're the most precise person in the group, so you might as well own it with a mad scientist costume: spotless white lab coat, safety goggles, labeled vials. The only mad scientist with a perfectly tidy lab is you (Mercury approves).
My tip: fill your vials with mint syrup and hand out "potions". You'll be the star of the party, and you'll know exactly how many are left.
“The elegant, mysterious cat”
Graceful, charming and a little mysterious: you have everything it takes to be a black cat. Velvet ears, a delicate mask, a long tail and a feline gaze: you stay chic even on Halloween, because Venus would never let you go out in a sheet with holes in it.
My tip: focus on polished makeup rather than a complicated costume. Three neatly drawn whiskers and a flick of eyeliner, and you're the most elegant creature of the night.
“The devil himself”
Halloween falls right in the middle of Scorpio season: it's your night, and you know it. Your sharp personality deserves a character to match: the devil. Little red horns, a dark outfit, a pitchfork and a sly smile: Pluto approves, and so do your friends (a little nervously).
My tip: it's all in the stare, so practice in front of the mirror. And leave the pitchfork at the coat check when you arrive: your magnetism is more than enough.
“The costume with friends”
For you, a great party is a shared party. Suggest a group costume to your crew: pick a cult horror movie or a series you love, and split up the characters. Jupiter, your planet, thinks big: the more, the scarier.
My tip: appoint yourself organizer, since you'll end up being one anyway. And have a plan B for the friend who replies at the last minute.
“The skeleton who lets loose”
All year long, you're the serious, reliable one in the group. On Halloween night, make way for the skeleton: a jumpsuit with glow-in-the-dark bones, and you dance like nobody's watching. Saturn, master of structure, loves a solid frame.
My tip: let go for one night, your planner can wait until the next day. Challenge yourself to be the last one on the dance floor.
“The quirky alien”
Original, unpredictable and always one step ahead: you're not going to settle for a pumpkin like everyone else. The alien was made for you: antennae, a silver jumpsuit, green or blue makeup. Uranus, your planet, loves eccentrics from out of this world.
My tip: invent your planet's language and speak nothing else for an hour. Your friends will grumble, then they'll all want to learn it.
“The mermaid of the deep”
Dreamy, intuitive and a little elsewhere: your element is water, and your costume comes from the depths. The mermaid of the deep (or merman) will suit you perfectly: an iridescent tail, pearls, seaweed and pearly makeup. Neptune, your planet, rules the seas: you're right at home.
My tip: choose a version you can walk in, or you'll spend the whole evening on the couch. A haunting song as you walk in is highly recommended.

Your Sun sign gives you the character; your rising sign gives you the style. It's the image you project at first glance: a Cancer with Leo rising will go for a family costume… and clearly be its star. If you don't know yours yet, calculate your rising sign before heading to the costume shop.
Your Moon sign tells you what makes you comfortable. A Moon in an Earth sign will want a comfy costume, a Moon in a Fire sign will want something spectacular, a Moon in a Water sign a character with a story, a Moon in an Air sign a detail that gets people talking. The trio of Sun, rising sign and Moon is your Big Three: everything you need to put together a one-of-a-kind costume that no one else will be wearing that night.
And for colors, trust your element: red, orange and gold for Fire; green, brown and earthy tones for Earth; yellow, sky blue and silver for Air; deep blue, purple and pearl for Water.
✦ ✦
I've given you an idea for each sign, but you're the one wearing the costume. If you're a Taurus dreaming of playing a vampire, go for it: astrology inspires, it never dictates. The perfect Halloween costume is the one you have fun in, whatever your sign.
So, pirate, witch or mermaid of the deep? Send this page to your crew before the party: everyone will know what to wear, and you'll finally have a group costume worth the name. Happy Halloween! 🎃
