Not sure what to be for Halloween? Let the stars guide you. This list compiles the best Halloween costume for your particular zodiac sign. Try it out — and don’t forget to share photos!

Aries (March 21 – April 19): Squid Game Contestant

Competitive Aries always wants to be the winner, and they thrive when faced with a challenge. So pull out your tracksuit, brush up on your schoolyard games, and get ready to be the best “Squid Game” contestant out there.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Box of Wine

Luxury, relaxation, and serenity are Taurus’ heart and soul, much like someone feels when they sit down after a long day with a nice glass of wine! So help everyone out this Halloween by dressing as a box of wine — one that has an actual box of wine taped inside it with the spigot on the outside. Carry plastic cups and pour glasses of vino for your friends, straight from your costume.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Zaphod Beeblebrox

Gemini’s costume is a bit literal — and literary. The sign is represented by twins with a dual nature. Zaphod Beeblebrox from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” literally had two heads (or faces, depending on whether you’ve read the book and which of the movies you’ve watched) and at least one extra arm. Plus, just like this sign, Zaphod was playful, spontaneous, and sometimes unpredictable. So … twin yourself, Gemini.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Dude With Sign

Social media loves Dude With Sign, who is basically just a guy holding up signs with random things scrawled on them, like, “My credit card is the only approval I need” and, “Worry less about celebrity couples.” This is the costume for you, Cancer, because you’re both emotional and material, and you may struggle to let people into your world. Dude With Sign uses humor to address a lot of things — which some see as a deflection method.

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Morpheus, King of Dreams

Ask any Leo and they’ll tell you: They’re the best. The sign has a royal air that can sometimes become a bit demanding, so dress up as Morpheus, King of Dreams, from “Sandman.” You rule an entire realm, and your underlings should know better than to question you.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Life (and a Bag of Lemons)

Virgos are practical. They’re logical. They know life is going to happen no matter what, and you just need to deal with it. Embody that mindset by dressing up as life and handing out lemons. It’s a super easy costume — just get a shirt and write “life” on it. Carry the lemons in a bag, and you’re all set.

Libra (September 23 – October 22): Instagram and Reality

Libra’s all about balance and equilibrium. So show the tipping scales behind Instagram and reality by splitting your face in two. Make one side ultra-glam, and make the other side your everyday at-home self. This could also be a couple’s costume, with one of you dressed as Instagram and the other as reality.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Anna Delvey

Mysterious and complicated Scorpios are often hard to figure out. For your Halloween costume, dress up as someone who made that their goal: Anna Delvey, the fake heiress who worked her way into the New York elite world. All you need are nice clothes and a somewhat unrecognizable accent. 

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Tourist

The most curious of all the signs, Sagittarius is always on the hunt for more knowledge, more excitement, and more adventure. Dress as a tourist to embody those qualities of your sign. Wear some comfy walking shoes, carry a big camera around your neck, and get in everyone’s way to stop and stare at the “scenery” around you. You’re not touristing — you’re learning!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Ted Lasso

Capricorn thrives when a task needs a lot of dedication and hard work to accomplish. They are patient and push through struggles with a level head. You should be Ted Lasso for Halloween. The fictional coach took on an unknown challenge and met it with grace, dedication, and a desire to succeed. 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Immersive Art Exhibit

Innovation and humanitarianism are essential to an Aquarian. Jump onto the trend of immersive art exhibits by using your Halloween costume to innovate the medium and bring art to others. It’s simple: Wear all white, carry around a bunch of markers, and let people draw on your clothes with said markers. Bonus points if you carry a boombox playing trippy New Age music.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Mabel Mora

As the final sign in the zodiac, you’ve learned from all the others before you. And it makes you intuitive, empathic, and a bit sensitive. You should be Mabel Mora from “Only Murders in the Building” for Halloween. She has an ability to see through a mess to find the right outcome — just like a Pisces.
