Zodiac Signs as Halloween Costumes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at FSU chapter.

Fall is here, which means Halloween is right around the corner. If you’re anything like me, you tend to wait until Halloween day to actually figure out your costume. What better way to get some costume inspiration than with your zodiac sign? When the stars align to choose your perfect costume, how could you resist?

Your zodiac sign already tells you everything you need to know about yourself, so let it pick your costume too.  Here are some amazing costumes you need to wear at least once.  

Scorpio (Oct. 23- Nov. 21)Wednesday Addams  

If there’s a sign that was destined for Halloween in all it’s mischievous nature, it’s Scorpio. From their unique yet misguided nature they practically emit spooky energy. The more intense, the better with Scorpios, especially since they want everyone in the room to know that they came here to stunt. This is why Wednesday Addams would be the perfect costume for Scorpios this season. What looks better than pigtails paired with a black dress?  

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21): Todoroki  

Sagittarius are the fire signs of the winter months. Nothing pairs better with their fiery nature than some ice to balance them out. That’s why Todoroki from My Hero Academia is exactly what you need in your life. Whether you want to channel your passionate side with fire or your wise nature with ice, this costume has got you covered.  

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19): Velma 

Capricorns are gifted with a sense of intuition. Why not channel your inner detective this season by dressing as Velma from Scooby-Doo? This timeless costume is perfect for Capricorns. Like Velma, they like to thrive under responsibility and always want to figure out who it is behind that mask.  

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18): Mamma Mia 

Just like air, Aquarius-born love to go with flowy hair. They are one of the most altruistic and eccentric in nature signs. They do what they want and tend not to follow the path most taken just like a Donna Sheridan aka Meryl Streep in Mamma MiaSo strap on your gogo boots and get ready to rock out to Super Trooper this Halloween season.  

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20): Mermaid 

If a water sign could be more of a water sign, it’d be Pisces. They’re in touch with their element and often times find themselves wanting a Whole New World. Does that sound familiar to anyone? Ariel from Little Mermaid should be a Pisces go to. Both are whimsical, water lovers, and want to get whisked away on an adventure.  

Aries (March 21- April 19): Cat 

What do cats and Aries have in common? They’re both dynamic, competitive and rumored to come from the devil. Now I may be kidding with that last part but what other sign would have 9 lives? Only Aries for that matter. They are leaders of the animal kingdom just like cats and love to fiercely strut their stuff.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Princess 

Tauruses love all things beautiful whether that be diamond rings or a freshly picked fruit. They know how to keep it classy as they live in luxury. Their elegance is only on par with that of a princess. So, Taurus show everyone who you are – royalty.  

Gemini (May 21- June 21): Witch 

Expressive, witty, and one of the most confusing, Gemini’s will always keep you on the edge of your seat. Geminis, channel any witch your heart desires whether she be good a la Sabrina the Teenage Witch or wicked, brewing spells like the Wicked Witch of the West.  

Cancer (June 22 – July 22): Coraline 

Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancers never leave any card left unturned. They always try to look deeper into things even though they might not want to know what is underneath the surface. Coraline embodies Cancers to their fullest. Just like Cancers, she is in tuned with her emotions oftentimes finding it difficult to blend into the world around. 

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22): Starfire 

Leos, Leos Leos. If there is anyone that loves attention, it’s you. They are fierce, dominant, and all about making sure people know that they’re a Leo. Their dramatic but people love them for that. Sounds a lot like Starfire to me! Her warm tones and stand-out outfit are all emblematic of what every Leo needs 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22): Vampire 

Virgos are timeless. No matter what life throws their way, they always manage to get the right answer in the most organized fashion. Because of this, they would be perfect vampires. Yes, vampires can be emotional and hot-headed but for the most part, they think practically (think Edward’s family in Twilight). Besides being a classic, vampire costumes are pretty cheap too! 

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)Hermione  

Probably the most diplomatic of the signs, Libras love all things balanced. They tend to take charge of their group being the most reliable of them all. It sounds like a certain Hermione from Harry Potter to me. Better send your application to Hogwarts soon.
