What’s so fun about Halloween? Inviting your alter ego out to play! The cool thing about the zodiac is that each sign contains universal archetypes, or ways of expressing (like Aries, the Warrior) making it really easy to tap your innate character for character inspiration. Instead of looking through the eyes of your Sun sign, choose your Ascendant or Rising Sun. Your Rising Sign is your mask – a visible “costume” you wear every single day.

ricky bobbyAries: a competitor at heart, winning the Halloween costume contest is as satisfying as a sexy conquest. Go all out. Play with their heads. Let yourself fully inhabit the character by quoting movie lines and bringing plenty of props: blood, guns, knives etc.

Ricky Bobby, Nascar Drive from Talledega Nights “Remember son, if you’re not first you’re last.” Spartacus, Carrie Bradshaw from Sex & the City “knows good Sex”, Jason from Friday the 13th, Steve McQueen, Cleopatra, Casanova, Police Officer, Wonder Woman, Surgeon, James Dean, Famous Athlete, Cowboy

Taurus: as soft-natured and gentle as gruff and bull headed, no one wants to be around an angry Taurus – presenting a host of possibilities for you. No more Mr. Nice Guy? Or maybe it takes too much effort to bother with a costume (make it easy) or you’ll sit this one out watching T.V.

Venus de Milo, Earth Mama, Milk Maid, Donald Trump, Money Bags, Shrek, A Flower, Gardener, Caveman, Don Juan, Beauty Pageant Winner (Carrie!), Prom Queen or King, a Pussycat Doll (so brave!), your totem animal

Gemini: pin you down to just one personality? Ha! You’re wild about Halloween. Pick a pop culture figure because you’re an excellent copycat. Become your alter ego, it’s so easy. Quick & intelligent, in a jiffy you whip up the smartest costume on the block.
