October Horoscopes

It’s Libra season and Halloween is on its way. Here is some guidance from the stars on how to approach the spooky season ahead.

ARIES

March 21 - April 19

For you, most of October is going to be about being ~honest~ to yourself and others, so if you need to decorate the first day of October, don’t be ashamed! And if you aren’t in the spooky spirit till last minute, you can always use your Aries impulsiveness as a guide.

TAURUS

April 21 - May 21

If you can keep yourself organized, October will be a very successful month for you! So plan when you’re decorating and begin thinking of a costume soon.

GEMINI

June 22 - May 21

I have a sneaking suspicion you want a lot of Halloween decor this year, but your creative projects really need a plan with the right limits. Go visit the local dollar store and start looking at the cheap stuff they have there to make your ideas come to fruition.

CANCER

June 22 - July 22

October is going to be a time of grounding yourself so if you are having trouble getting into the Halloween spirit, that’s okay! Just buy a pumpkin scented candle and put a bit more orange in your wardrobe.

LEO

July 23 - August 22

You will be working on communication this month, in addition to finding out how to manage the communication mistakes you’ve made recently. Make sure you give that group costume your full attention, and tell your parents before you put some obnoxious blow-up pumpin on the lawn.

VIRGO

August 23 - September 22

You may be experiencing some money problems this month. Go for that James and the Giant Peach DVD over renting some bad horror movie, and make cookies from scratch, despite how delicious the Pillsbury Ready-to-Bake ones are.

LIBRA

September 23 - October 22

You have a lot of commitments you are balancing this month that may take up a lot of your time. Set aside a day to watch that nostalgic horror movie you’ve been meaning to watch, or download the audiobook to that Steven King novel you’ve been wanting to read. Anything to get you spooked and set for the 31st.

SCORPIO

October 23 - November 22

This may be hard to hear, but you may have to skip a few parties here and there to keep yourself sane during October. You need to get your ducks in a row and that requires some alone time. But it’s okay if you don’t get into the spirit early because you tend to like Christmas more than Halloween anyway.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 - December 21

Social obligations are a large part of this October for you, Sagittarius. To me, this sounds like prepping that party you were thinking about now so it will be a full on fiesta by the 31st.

CAPRICORN

December 22 - January 19

You will be able to get through the work-like obligations of this month with ease. WIth all that free time you could decorate or watch a movie, but you will probably just be cynical about Halloween instead.

AQUARIUS

January 20 - Febuary 18

You are going to have a very productive October. It won’t feel like that at first because you won’t get that immediate gratification you are used to, but it will all be worth it in the end. If you need help getting in the spirit, try to read some fun short stories or try that spooky ritual game you wanted to do last year but were too scared to.

PISCES

February 19 - March 20

As a Pisces myself, I know you have probably already started getting into the Halloween spirit. I recommend visiting Atlas Obscura to find some local spooky locations, like Ponyhenge in Lincoln, MA. However, if you’re using this as a means of procrastination, which you most likely are, you should probably take it easy.
