In October, the wind picks up that faint whisper of “something’s coming,” and you probably feel that energy, too. October 31, 2025, falls on the midpoint between the Equinox and the Solstice. The veil between worlds is at its thinnest on this day.
According to Nebula astrologer Aiten Musaieva, Halloween 2025’s sky is rich with water-sign energy. Neptune and Saturn are both retrograde in Pisces, Jupiter is in Cancer, and Mars is pacing through its favorite Scorpio. By October 23, even the Sun will have moved into Scorpio. The whole sky is feeling things deeply and dramatically.
This kind of astrological weather, Musaieva says, can be supportive and resilient; the energy is tender, psychic, and very intuitive. You may not want to go to a crowded costume party this year. You might, instead, want to be home in your kitchen, doing small spiritual rituals, talking with one or two of your closest people, and letting the Moon (a waxing gibbous in Pisces) do her slow work.
There are no eclipses and no Mercury retrograde in the sky this time—just a lot of emotional water. Halloween 2025 might be intense, but healing.
Still, you can’t be too careful when the veil is thin. Aiten recommends a few protective rituals. In the old days, people lit bonfires to keep out the bad spirits. Now, we light sage, burn candles, or carry amulets shaped like tiny moons. If you’re staying in, meditate under the moonlight; let it wash over your soul. Take a salt bath, make tea, and do anything that makes you feel grounded.
However, if you are still in the mood to go to a Halloween party, it is worth spending this day in a costume that may not scare kids but enhances the main trait of your zodiac sign and protects your energy from evil spirits and the gazes of envious people. Below, Musaieva gives insights on how each zodiac sign can dress for maximum energy this Halloween, how to choose an outfit that reinforces your most potent spiritual self, protects you, and lets you play with delight. Because Halloween 2025 isn’t about fear; it’s about power. And yours, dear reader, is just beginning to rise.
Aries
You’re the spark. On Halloween, you go warrior queen or God of fire. Think Ares, Artemis in battle garb, Melisandre of Asshai, Ghost Rider, or other characters with fire powers. With such a costume, you reclaim your energy by wearing your own intensity. Wrap yourself in red accents and carry a symbolic “weapon.” The costume should say: “Do not cross me, I am armored.” Spiritually, it aligns you with courage, the warrior self, and the protection that comes from owning your fire with purpose. Under your armor, you can wear a chevron or symbol of Mars (your ruler) painted discreetly on your skin or on a pendant. Wear a red garnet or spinel as a talisman.
Taurus
Taurus is earth, sensuality, and comfort. Your outfit may include fake moss, leaves, flowing gowns, creeping ivy, or even a deer or stag hybrid. You may choose between Legolas, Groot, Elves of Rivendell and Lothlórien, or Dryads. This way, your costume is textured, close to your skin and your soul at the same time. Spiritually, you anchor yourself to the Earth’s steady energy, so that when the night’s shadows swirl, you remain rooted. For extra protection, bury tiny seeds (like basil or thyme) in a small pouch and tie them at your waist. As you move through the night, you “plant” energy, supporting your own sustainability. Use a green or mossy amulet (emerald, jade) tucked near your heart.
Gemini
You are duality, you’re the trickster and the teller. On Halloween, you can be someone with two faces or a dual personality, like Two-Face, Dr. Jekyll, Norman Bates, Tyler Durden, or Harleen Quinzel. You may wear a half-face mask or combine two personalities in one outfit: one side dark, one side light. Wearing such an outfit, you embody your own complexity. You move between realms of light and shadow. Spiritually, it says: “I accept all my selves, I can traverse boundaries.” You’re protected because you’re not hiding. In one hand, carry a small mirror (to reflect negativity away); in the other, carry a white feather (a symbol of clarity). Use an air sign talisman like agate or clear quartz.
Cancer
You are a sign that represents water, memory, and home. Your goal is to draw strength from feeling and subtlety. Halloween can bruise, but water is soft and persistent. Spiritually, you are protected by your own emotional depth. Your costume may be one of Ariel, Aquaman, Moana, Chihiro Ogino, or Namor the Sub-Mariner. Add some silver, seafoam, shells, pearls, or flowing gauze. You can wear a moon crown or a cloak patterned with tides. To protect yourself on Halloween, carry a small shell with saltwater inside. Wear moonstone or selenite near your skin.
Leo
Halloween nights can be dark, but you are the beacon. Spiritually, you anchor in the solar strength and carry self-confidence, self-illumination, and regal protection within you. Your strength is your magnetism and the ability to persevere, no matter what. On Halloween, choose an outfit connected to the image of a phoenix or dragon. It can be Jean Grey, Albus Dumbledore, or Fawkes from the Harry Potter series, Harry Dresden, or Daenerys Targaryen. Your Halloween costume may combine gold, flame motifs, a crown of rays, or a cape that flows like light. Embed a small citrine or sunstone (or amber). Wear something like a golden glove or gauntlet so your hands are “sources” of light. As you walk, imagine the night bending around you.
Virgo
You come to Halloween to tend, to understand, and to purify. You are discernment, detail, healing. Spiritually, it centers you in subtle defense. Choose characters whose outfits have herbal motifs, apothecary bottles, or a cloak with pockets full of herbs. You may dress as Willow Rosenberg, Elrond, Aerith Gainsborough, Rapunzel, Lifeweaver, or Mousesack. As a shield, carry a small satchel of herbs (sage, mugwort, rosemary). At intervals, tap them lightly to cleanse your aura. Wear a peridot or a clear quartz.
Libra
Libras can add harmony to the craziest Halloween parties. The secret is that you distribute energy evenly. Spiritually, you become the mediator, and nothing harmful can push you over when you are balanced. This Halloween, use soft wings, metallic scales, fabrics that shimmer from one side to the next, perhaps a delicate mask of silver for your outfit. You can be Kayle, Zauriel, Themis, Castiel, or Eternal Sailor Moon. Use a symbolic balance: a small-scale talisman or twin feathers. Wear a sapphire or moonstone. When walking, hold your posture as though you carry equilibrium on your shoulders.
Scorpio
Scorpio is the only zodiac sign that doesn’t shy from the dark: they inhabit it. On Halloween, you shift and renew. You are both a shield and a sword in one. Your costume should contain raven and dark oracle themes: deep purples, blacks, veils, leather, a mask, or a hood. You can be Fire Keeper, Darth Revan, Maiden in Black, Death Eater, or Maleficent. Carry a black obsidian or hematite. Use scents like myrrh or vetiver (on your clothing), and they will keep you anchored in your own mystery.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a wanderer, a flame in motion. You turn every event into a journey, and Halloween is one of them. You shield yourself by staying in motion, and the night is your terrain. For your outfit, you can dress in a cloak of stars, boots made for roaming, arrows, a bow, and maybe celestial maps appended to your outfit. Characters like Doctor Strange, Loki, The Doctor, or The Little Prince may be your perfect options for this Halloween.
Always carry a small arrow or a compass (real or symbolic). Use lapis lazuli or turquoise. Whisper incantations of direction and purpose before you leave: “I walk my path; no force misleads me.”
Capricorn
Halloween night can feel chaotic, but Capricorn brings order. Spiritually, you shield by form and resolve. You become the guardian, the immovable fortress in motion. For your costume, collect architectural armor, runic symbols, classic robes, and geometric motifs. You can dress as Weeping Angel, Ahkmenrah, Sauron, Night King, or one of the Eternals. Embed or wear a garnet or black onyx. Mark the edges of your costume with runic symbols of protection. Walk as though you are always upright when others stoop.
Aquarius
Aquarius always differs. You glow in unexpected coloration. Spiritually, you align with innovation, and you become your own anomaly. Add to your costume metallic fabrics, LED elements, asymmetry, alien or sci-fi touches. This Halloween, you can dress as Vision, Electro, Livewire, Alita, or Leeloo. Use a circuit-etched pendant; wear amethyst or labradorite. You might carry a prism or crystal that refracts, so your energy multiplies.
Pisces
You, Pisces, give Halloween the texture of a dream. Spiritually, you shield by blurring. You become a mirage, beautiful and elusive. You survive by not being easily pinned. Your costume may include flowing fabrics, water motifs, and translucent layers. For this special night, you may dress like Ursula or “Vanessa,” Tia Dalma, Arwen, Morpheus, or Euron Greyjoy. Carry a small vial of moonwater, spray lightly. Wear aquamarine or moonstone. Let your voice chant “I drift, I am safe” before you enter crowds.
