Aries (March 21-April 19): Grim Reaper

No one should get on your bad side because as the personified form of death, interactions can turn fatal. With Mars ruling your sign, you don’t shy away from conflict. Even though you’re known for your impulsivity, you know how to lead others to success. You want people to play by your rules, and you are not heartless toward those who do.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Skeleton

Change and you do not get along. You prefer stability which makes you incredibly reliable. As an Earth sign, you’re grounded and predictable. But that doesn’t mean you are not important. In fact, as a skeleton, you are literally the backbone (and more) of the human body. You can be stubborn, but as a skeleton, that’s good. Take risks and you most likely won’t break a bone.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Ghost

As the dual sign, you are an excellent communicator. Ruled by Mercury, the messenger god, it’s no surprise you would be a ghost. Expertise in verbal and nonverbal communication between the worlds of the dead and living will lead you to do some serious haunting. Not only can you scare those who have gotten on your bad side, but you can provide comfort to others who may miss your presence.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Werewolf

You are loyal and influenced by the Moon, but are cautious around someone new. As a werewolf, you struggle with listening to your brain or heart. You are prone to mood swings that may lead you to be misunderstood, but you’re the type of person others want in their corner. On the outside you can come off as rough, but people in your pack know you’re caring and sensitive.  

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Angel

You are a natural leader and are admired by many. You have an abundance of confidence that can bring others together. While you may try to steer others to doing good, you still have fun. You’re a fire sign, ruled by the Sun and thus you like bright things. However, you have a darker side that can come out when you are betrayed. But you do your best to bring out the best in others and yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Witch or Warlock

You are methodical and hard working. You prefer smaller groups, but your relationships are strong. You need organization, and with Mercury in your corner and a spell, it’s easy to keep your life organized. High standards are a must, with every last detail executed with precision. As a witch or warlock, perfection is vital for your magic to happen properly. You may be judged for your meticulous ways, but people in your inner circle know close relationships with you come from reciprocated acts of kindness.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Black Cat

As a Libra, you are ruled by Venus and seek beauty in your world. The most aesthetically pleasing to you is symmetry and balance. Like a black cat, you can be mistaken for just one side of you. While some may not want to be near your aura, those who truly know you understand good balances out bad.  You experience constant mood swings, which makes it harder for some people to keep up with, but are always loyal and there for friends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Frankenstein’s monster

Frankenstein’s monster shows your jealous side. Sometimes your emotions get the best of you, but your passion can be put to good use. You are highly motivated and usually keep your cool.  You do not tolerate lies, but can be a bit secretive yourself. As a monster just brought to life, you have to learn how to adapt to unfamiliar behaviors. But once you do, you will be a superb leader.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Pirate

As a Sagittarius, you love adventure. You seek and desire it. More is always better, which will let you always search for more treasure and more adventures — a pirate’s dream. Jupiter rules your sign, so similar to the largest planet in the solar system, you think big. Your dreams lead you and encourage you to succeed. Your optimism would make you a great captain.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Vampire

You are a destined leader with many successes under your belt. Your vampire persona allows you to gain more experiences, but can also make you a bit of a know-it-all. You are independent and know how to handle yourself in unfavorable situations. You know how to focus on what needs to get done–time is not an issue for you. Change can be a bit challenging for you to accept. Saturn dominates Capricorns so you may come off as cold to others.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Mummy

You are sensitive but also logical. Your shyness may be why you want to hide underneath all your linen cloths. Your cover-up may make you feel restricted and can make you seem unemotional. But this detachment allows you to view things objectively. Your preserved state allows you to maintain this quality.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Zombie

As the zombie persona, you are somewhere between living and dead. You are torn between two places as a Pisces. You draw people in because you are friendly, but it can cause you emotional pain if they betray your fragile trust. You are imaginative and prefer dreamland over reality. Always seeking the best way to live, you don’t let anything get in the way—even a detached limb.
