GEMINI
Work keeps you late, so rush to
your Halloween turn-up—the party
won’t start till you walk in.CANCER
Potential for a Halloween hookup is
strong, but be prepared for the
hottie in the ghost getup to...ghost.LEO
You could be caught in the middle
of drama at home. It’s great to help,
but don’t lose your evening!All witches practice in
covens. While formal
witchcraft traditions
do have coven
requirements, it’s
not essential for the
modern-day witch to
b e p a r t o f a g ro u p.
Plenty of witches pre-
fer to keep to them-
selves, while others
practice magick with
their friends during
New or Full Moon
ceremonies, over
cocktails on a Friday
ni g h t, o r eve n o n
social media.Not just anyone can
be a witch. False. You
know how anyone
can use astrology?
S a m e t hin g. I t m a y
seem like witches are
p a r t o f a s e c re t s o c i -
et y, but in realit y, you
don’t need a broom-
s t i c k, p o in t y h a t, o r
iron cauldron
(although those are,of course, all very
fun). Being a witch
simply means using
magick to guide your
choices—ones you’re
probably already
using astrology to
help you zero in on.
You don’t even need
to own a spellbook!But magick can’t be
taught. Says who?
The best way to start
channeling your inner
witch is by following
the lunar cycle. On
October 27th, when
there’s a New Moon
in Scorpio, document
your experiences in a
notebook. How do
you feel? What’s on
your mind? If you’re
feeling stressed, start
lighting a candle dur-
ing each Full and
New Moon. This sim-
ple exercise will help
you become more
aware of how each
Moon cycle affects
you—and when you
should cast spells.S

PERKINS,
AKA@NOTALLGEMINISVIRGO
Sleep in, because this’ll be a wild
night. Just watch out for a spooky
ex showing up to your party.SAGITTARIUS
A onesie. You’re
funny, no frills,
and okay, sort of
lazy. You could
be a banana, a
shark, a unicorn,
basically any ani-
mal or superhero
known to man.
Most important,
you can totes
sleep in your
costume.CAPRICORN
Anything throw-
back Hollywood.
You like to keep it
classic...but make
it dark. (So not
Audrey Hepburn
in Breakfast
at Tiffany’s,
mmmkay?) Go
for a vintage
Hitchcock hero-
ine or a gothic
Morticia Addams.AQUARIUS
The last thing you
retweeted. You’re
witty! You’re also
not great at plan-
ning ahead! You’ll
probably just
whip up some-
thing crazy-cool
based on a meme
that goes viral on
Halloween.PISCES
Anything that
requires acting.
You’re extra AF,
so shine while
mimicking a char-
acter’s manner-
isms or accent for
the night: Marie
Antoinette, one
of the Glow wres-
tlers, Groot.ARIES
A diva. You already
live loudly, so take
inspo from fel-
low Aries (Selena,
Mariah Carey,
Victoria Beckham)
and go with a spar-
kly look, or get
theatrical with a
campy villain like
Maleficent.TAURUS
Whatever you
find in your closet.
You’re too frugal
to throw down in
the drugstore’s sea-
sonal aisle. Create
a vampy look using
your hottest LBD,
or just be The Dude
from The Big Leb-
owski (aka a great
reason to wear a
robe in public).GEMINI
Something peel-
off-able. You’ll
get bored of your
costume halfway
through the night
and start taking
off layers anyway,
so why not put on
another costume
underneath your
Riverdale bomber
jacket?CANCER
Two words: “group
costume.” Because
you looove a coor-
dinated squad
photo. Scooby-
Doo Mystery Inc.
gang? M&M’s?
The Stranger
Things kids? The
Avengers?LEO
The Mother of
Dragons. You
always come to
flex. Your hair and
makeup might take
several YouTube
tutorials, so there’s
no way you’re
leaving without
pictures.VIRGO
You already know
the answer. You’ve
been planning your
costume for weeks,
steadily acquir-
ing accessories
and doing dress
rehearsals.LIBRA
Sexy [insert
literally anything].
Obvs your main
concern is being
the cutest at the
party. Pick a Dis-
ney princess, an
old-school celebrity
darling, or really
any job (doctor,
firefighter, referee),
and then make it as
hot as you want.SCORPIO
Something scary
but cute. Sabrina
Spellman? Bride
of Frankenstein?
A blood-stained
Carrie? Be honest,
Scorp: You’re try-
ing to shock fellow
partygoers but also
maybe bang them.CH
