Aquarius (Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Mary Sanderson
You’re shy and often soft-spoken, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a dark side, Aquarius. That’s why you’re just like the soft, sweet, and powerful Mary Sanderson from Hocus Pocus. This Sanderson Sister is emotional and friendly, just like you, but can also chase down children to steal their souls. Halloween is a time to let your alter-ego shine, so maybe let out the crazy side a little.
Pisces (Feb. 19- March 20): Billy Butcherson
You’re gentle and compassionate, Pisces, which is why you’re just like the helpful zombie Billy Butcherson. Billy helped save the children in Hocus Pocus from the soul-sucking witches by letting them chill in his grave and covering it with salt. On Halloween night you might feel a little undead yourself (if you know what I mean), but make sure to keep an eye out for your friends too.
Aries (March 21- April 19): Marnie Piper
Your courageous, enthusiastic and confident energy makes you just like Marnie Piper from Halloweentown. Just like Marnie, you fight against the odds and don’t let anyone keep you from what you want. Marnie helped to save Halloweentown three movies in a row and nothing stopped her. This weekend, Aries, you’re gonna be the same way. Don’t let anyone get in the way of what you want (be it candy or otherwise). However, if you’re going try for a fourth night, don’t do what Disney did and change the actress for the last movie. You’re not that lame.
Taurus (April 20- May 20): Luke from Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge
You’re reliable, patient and practical spirit makes you just like Luke from Halloweentown II, Taurus. Luke stuck by Marnie’s side when she was trying to defeat Kalabar for the second time. This weekend, we know you’ll do the same for your friends. It may or may not be because you’re in love with them (come on, we all shipped them), but whatever the reason, we know you’ll be there for that special someone when they’re less than sober this weekend.
Gemini (May 21- June 20): Kal from Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge
How could we resist, Gemini. Kal is the perfect example of the two-sided personality you have. Although we’re pretty sure you won’t try to destroy an alternate universe and turn humans into monsters, you and Kal exhibit pretty similar traits of two-sidedness. You can be both outgoing and shy, boisterous and soft-spoken. Just don’t let anything turn you into a monster this weekend, Gemini. But go ahead and break some hearts like our friend Kal.
Cancer (June 21- July 22): Sarah Sanderson
You’re tenacious and passionate, Cancer, just like Sarah Sanderson (congrats, you’re the hot one!). Sarah was kind of crazy, we know, but aren’t we all? Your tenacity and emotion will make this weekend great for you, Cancer, just don’t try to steal anyones souls. Use your fearless energy to rock a crazy costume and have some fun, just don’t end up flying on a broomstick singing offkey like Sarah (the character or SJP). Keep the crazy in check, friend, no one likes to deal with a drunk who sings.
Leo (July 23- Aug.22): Aggie Cromwell
Wow, what an honor. You’re Aggie Cromwell! (Put it on your resume, honestly). Like Aggie, you’re a natural born leader. Be a Cromwell this weekend, Leo: strong, powerful and wise. Give your friends an example of what a responsible person is, just don’t let it ruin your fun. Be like young-Aggie from Return to Halloweentown when she was a straight up bad-ass She didn’t let anything ruin her fun (remember she escaped from the castle and fought people? You get the picture).
Virgo (Aug.23- Sept, 22): Dylan Piper
You’re loyal, analytical and kind, Virgo. Dylan Piper is your alter-ego! Now, don’t whine, we know he was a little bit of a dork, but it was pretty cute. He also was surprisingly powerful and knew how let loose. Let this weekend be your chance to let loose and be that friend. Don’t go crazy, that’s Cancer’s job. Also don’t lose all of that analytical side. Terps who pace win the race, remember?
Libra (Sept. 23- Oct. 22): Morticia Addams
This should be the biggest compliment ever, Libra. You’re gracious, cooperative and social, which makes you just like Morticia Addams. Morticia is a matriarch of her weird family, and we know you’re the matriarch of yours too. If or when you go out this weekend, you’ll be the mom. We know that can be a burden, Libra, but tough it out and keep an eye on your friends. We know you’ll be like Morticia and support your crew in whatever endeavors they choose this weekend and you’ll be there if they need your help.
Scorpio (Oct. 23- Nov.21): Thackery Binx
You’re resourceful, brave, passionate and a true friend, Scorpio, just like Thackery Binx from Hocus Pocus. Even when he was a cat, he did everything he could to help the people he cared for and we know you’ll do the same this Halloweekend. Just like Thackery when he was a cat, you could be overlooked by people in your life. But then he turned into a boy and no one overlooked him again (we know you know what we’re talking about. We all had a thing for him, admit it). Maybe pull a Thackery this weekend and let people who overlook you see the inner cutie waiting to come out.
Sagittarius (Nov.22- Dec.21): Max Dennison
You’re generous, sometimes idealistic and have an amazing sense of humor, Sagittarius. Just like Max Dennison from Hocus Pocus, sometimes you can bite off more than you can chew. This weekend, be wary of your limits. Have fun and live life to the fullest like we know you will, but don’t pull a Max and get yourself in a bad situation. In other words, don’t accidentally awaken witches and get locked in a cage by them while trying to save your sister. But do put yourself out there and profess your love for that special someone like Max did. Good luck!
Capricorn (Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Wednesday Addams
Like Wednesday Addams, you’re responsible, disciplined and self-controlled. Even if she is a little weird, Wednesday has always been wise beyond her years and you are too. But let out that childish spirit this weekend, Capricorn, and really indulge in this holiday that celebrates everyone letting their freak-flag-fly. You might think you don’t have one, but we know you do. Pick a costume outside of your comfort zone and let loose. Don’t hold back! Be Wednesday and express your authentic self, but also be responsible with your “indulgence.”
