Your special Halloween 2024 horoscope is here

Are you ready to get in touch with your shadow side? You'll have a chance to really get into the spirit of spooky season when energetic Mars in intuitive Cancer trines imaginative Neptune in mystical Pisces on Oct. 28. This aspect can help us tune in to the intangible, making it an excellent day for picking up a pack of tarot cards or diving deeper into your birth chart. But art, music and dance can also act as beautiful windows into the ethereal world, so if you feel an intense urge to get creative under this influence, follow your instincts. Who knows? It could even lead you to the perfect Halloween costume if you're still on the hunt.

This year's Mischief Night could be one to remember, thanks to an opposition between clever Mercury in mysterious Scorpio and rebellious Uranus in pleasure-seeking Taurus on Oct. 30. This chaotic aspect tends to elevate our senses and keep us on our toes with potential frights lurking around every corner. Prepare for a few scares and surprises, but do your best not to take anyone — or anything — too seriously either, as it can often be challenging to see things as they truly are under this mischievous energy.

Happy Halloween! On Oct. 31, observant Mercury in dynamic Scorpio will trine dreamy Neptune in sensitive Pisces, making it easier for us to access our powers of perception — and peek behind the veil when it's said to be at its thinnest. This aspect will also encourage us to pump up the drama and put on a true performance; have fun stepping into your new persona for the night. 

Whether you're dressing up, handing out treats or doing something else entirely, you may also find that this All Hallows' Eve has the sly, tempting energy of a Cheshire cat's smile. We'll only have the sharpest sliver of a waning moon in sensual Scorpio illuminating the sky, inviting us to put on a brave face and wade deeper into the darkness. Enjoy sniffing out a few secrets along the way — if you dare.

Here are your special Halloween horoscopes for 2024.

Aries

Get cosy, Aries. As the spooky season ramps up, you may feel compelled to stay in and nurture your domestic world. Have fun whipping up some festive treats for your friends and loved ones or hosting them for a get-together to watch scary movies and exchange creepy tales. If you want to add a little spice to the occasion, you might even be able to pull off a well-thought-out prank or two. Meanwhile, on the costume front, you could dream up a truly frightening idea by focusing on bringing a macabre touch to the mundane. Get creative with the items you already have in your closet to amp up the thrill factor. 

Taurus

Swapping ghost stories could be exactly what you need to get into the Halloween spirit this year, Taurus. So don't be afraid to gather your friends to exchange tales over cups of mulled wine or hot cocoa; discussing your dreams and fears could be a beautiful way to dip your toes into the dark side if people are feeling a bit wary at first. Meanwhile, perfecting all the little details is one of your favourite pastimes, so why not channel that passion toward creating a memorable costume? Participating in a group or couple's costume could be an ideal way to show off your skills and make a unique splash. 

Gemini

Get into the Halloween spirit, Gemini. You could find that indulging in some spooky activities ends up sparking your imagination, allowing you to break out of your creative comfort zone at work. Just try not to channel all of that energy into your professional life — you'll want to save some for the real celebrations on and around the 31st. Meanwhile, when it comes to your costume, you may find yourself inspired to spend the entire day dressed up — you aren't one to do anything halfway, after all. Enjoy living on the wild side as you explore this new persona. You're sure to make an impression on anyone who crosses your path.

Just remember to be a good sport if you choose to pull any spooks or scares on the people you love — you'll need to be ready to take anything that you dish out. 

Leo

You could find the supernatural realm particularly enticing this Halloween, Leo. Consider wrapping yourself up in the moodiness of the season by listening to sinister podcasts, enjoying spooky music or immersing yourself in haunting atmospheres. The theatricality of All Hallows' Eve suits you, and might even inspire you to commune with your shadow self. Take this opportunity to explore your inner workings and mysteries — doing so will help you feel more connected to the world around you. And when it comes to your costume, don't hesitate to go a bit unconventional. Playing with perception will help you develop a truly unique disguise.

Virgo

Have you made your Halloween checklist yet, Virgo? You're known for your attention to detail, so don't be afraid to harness those skills to guarantee that any plans you have go off without a hitch. If you're in a relationship, you might enjoy splitting some of your responsibilities with your partner and get a kick out of working on your decor, treats and costumes together. Meanwhile, single Virgos could link up with an admirer who appears out of the woodwork. Whoever you choose to spend your time with, it's bound to be a holiday to remember — be sure to soak up the rewards of the hard work you put in to get there. 

Libra

The Halloween season tends to bring out the best in you, Libra. And this year, you might feel driven to go the extra mile to create a truly ominous atmosphere with your costume and decor.

Whether or not you actually get any trick-or-treaters, filling your days with these kinds of activities will help you get into the spirit and build anticipation for the big night. And who knows? You might even end up making some happy memories with your neighbours in the process.

Scorpio

Get ready to dazzle, Scorpio. You're known for being a Halloween superstar, but this year, you might feel especially eager to pull out all the stops with your decor and make the holiday one to remember. Tap into your rich imagination and deep knowledge to create a ghoulish world of wonder, and be sure to give yourself lots of time to manifest your vision of fun and fancy. Come Mischief Night, you may also be tempted to pull an elaborate prank on your loved ones that they'll never see coming. You'll get a free pass if you can pull off a scheme that's as clever as it is frightening. 

Sagittarius

You might need a little help making your Halloween dreams come true this year, Sagittarius. So don't be afraid to ask for assistance from your loved ones in order to get your more ambitious All Hallows' Eve projects off the ground. Collaborating with your nearest and dearest on spooky crafts, chilling treats or planning an impromptu scary-movie marathon can be a great way to celebrate this macabre holiday. When it comes to your costume, you may feel compelled to take a nostalgic route and tap into the spirit of days gone by. Combing through old family photo albums could provide you with the inspiration you're after. 

Capricorn

Get involved, Capricorn. Your natural leadership skills could really come in handy in the days leading up to Halloween as friends and family try to pull off their wildest ideas for the occasion. Just be sure to keep your wits about you on Mischief Night — those same people may try to play a friendly trick or two! When it comes to the big day, you could find yourself flooded with invitations, but don't be afraid to send out a few of your own if you don't have plans. Your favourite people will be excited to hang out with you and engage in some thoughtful discussions if that's what you're in the mood for. 

Aquarius

Prepare to attract a little attention, Aquarius. You could feel motivated to make your own costume for a party or event this year, and people will likely be amazed by your talent and ingenuity. You might even find that this hands-on project gets you revved up and thinking about what you want to create next — the possibilities are limitless. Just be sure to take a break from all your crafting, pumpkin-carving and porch-decorating at some point during the lead up to All Hallows' Eve. This is your chance to really soak up all the things you love about spooky season.

Pisces

Let your mind wander, Pisces. This Halloween season, you're encouraged to indulge in a little escapism and maybe even pull a few of your fantasies into reality. Have fun adding eerie elements to your home and conjuring up a bewitching costume. Once you've gotten into character, you'll feel confident enough to command the attention of a whole party — or possibly the entire neighbourhood. Prefer to keep your celebrations more intimate?
