It’s Halloween, which means it’s time to get your creative juices flowing and come up with spooky, exciting and/or unique costumes. This also accords people the perfect opportunity to dress up as their favourite pop culture characters. Now what if we told you that, depending on your zodiac sign, certain Halloween costumes will make for a more suitable choice?
Your zodiac sign, especially the rising and moon sign, is key to knowing your inner traits and temperament. This could reveal which character from the popular movies resonates with your persona the most. Whether you feel brave and adventurous like some Harry Potter characters or outright wacky like The Joker, here is a list of some characters that could be perfect for your sign this Halloween based on your zodiac signs.
Halloween costumes based on zodiac signs
Aries — Mulan
Mulan is a popular warrior queen from the house of Disney and is known for her adventurous streak and bravery. This blends perfectly well with the Aries mentality, governed by the planet of war and aggression, Mars.
Taurus — Kate Sharma
Kate Sharma of Bridgerton (2020-) embodies the qualities of poise, stability and an earthy sort of intelligence. Taureans represented by a celestial bull are stable and sure about their thoughts and beliefs. They love indulgence and high living so they can resonate well with the aristocratic upbringing given to the Sharma sisters.
Gemini — The Joker
Eccentric and unpredictable, The Joker could be amusing and menacing in equal parts. This intelligent air sign symbolised by the twins is known for its duality in nature. Thus, clown-inspired make-up and character costumes for Halloween are perfect for natives of this zodiac sign.
Cancer — Snow White
This Disney princess is known for being empathetic and nurturing in nature just like this crustacean water sign. They love their home, hearths and domesticity and thus can beautifully channel their motherly energy and go as Snow White to a Halloween party.
Leo — Harry Potter
JK Rowling’s Harry Potter is a timeless character that highlights the qualities of loyalty, confidence, bravery and goodness. Leo is a fire sign symbolised by a lion which depicts similar attributes. They have a certain large-heartedness and kindness, which sync well with Potter’s core nature.
Virgo — Mary Poppins
As a nanny with magical powers, the titular character from Mary Poppins (1964) is a grounding force which reunites the Banks family. Virgos should dress up as this fun character because it aligns well with their earthy, calm and stable disposition. This earth sign is slightly reserved in nature, like Poppins, and is connected to their families.
Libra — Wonder Woman
Libra is a Venusian sign which seeks balance in all aspects of life. The Goddess from Amazon, Wonder Woman, strives to bring justice to the world. She is the epitome of beauty, grace, kindness and empowerment — everything that a true Libran stands for. So, this could be the best Halloween costumes based on your zodiac sign.
Scorpio — Severus Snape
Misunderstood and complicated, Severus Snape from the Harry Potter universe is intuitive, intelligent, and extremely loyal. (After all this time? Always!) Scorpio is a water sign, which is known for being mysterious and its X-ray-like vision to analyse people. This is, thus, a great fit.
Sagittarius — Deadpool
Seemingly unserious, Sagittarius is the fire sign which loves adventure. Bold and energetic, their positivity could be compared with this Marvel character which is full of life, fun and eager to make a difference in the world.
Capricorn — Rhaenyra Targaryen
Steadfast and persistent, Rhaenyra Targaryen from the House of the Dragon (2022-) show is known for being ambitious, persistent and extremely committed to her duty. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, is known to be highly determined and dutiful.
Aquarius — Jughead Jones
One of the key characters from the Archies comics as depicted in the hit Netflix series Riverdale (2017-2023), Jughead Jones is known to be unconventional and clever. This air sign, too, is intellectually stimulated and ruled by the planet of revolution, Uranus. Aquarians should hence go for this iconic character.
Pisces — Ariel
It is only fitting that the water babies of the zodiac symbolised by the twin fishes swimming in opposite directions dress up as the mermaid, Ariel on Halloween! This peace-loving yet self-assured character from The Little Mermaid is in search of making her destiny, unperturbed by her circumstances. Pisceans are believed to have that kind of quiet resilience which makes them perfect for this role.
