Now with more sass, costumes, and a suspicious amount of candy corn. 🎃👻
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You’re leading the Halloween charge like a sugar-fueled warrior. Start the week by sprinting into Team 5k Running Group like you’re outrunning your responsibilities. Then, absolutely DOMINATE the Death of a Gangster Murder Mystery — you’re not the killer, but you’re acting like one.
🔥 Spooky Side Quest: Smash your stress at Rage Cave on Friday. Bonus points if you wear a cape.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Your vibe is cozy chaos this week. You’re here for the Fall Festival snacks and staying just long enough to be seen. At the Pet Costume Contest, you’re the one crying over a dachshund dressed as a taco. Don’t lie, Taurus.
🛋️ Luxury Alert: Hit up The Candle Bar Happy Hour and try to keep your pumpkin spice addiction under control (you won’t).
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
You’re bouncing between Halloween events like a toddler on sugar — and yes, you’re hitting up Downtown Trick or Treating even if you don’t have kids. You’re calling it “escorting your niece,” but we all know it’s for the Kit Kats.
🎭 Double Trouble Tip: One Gemini, two costumes. Enter both versions of yourself in the Halloween Dog Costume Contest and pretend you’re a twin.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Sweet, emotional, and slightly spooked — just the way you like it. Spend Monday in your feels at Making Peace at Selah CWM, then balance it with watching toddlers splash around at Toddler Swim (don’t steal one).
🦀 Creepy Comfort: Sniff all the produce at the last ES Farmers Market like it’s the farewell scene in a drama. You are the main character.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
This is your week. Costumes? Drama? Social events with dramatic lighting? YES. Host your own runway show at Open Mic Night and tell everyone your vampire poem is “inspired by heartbreak… and garlic bread.”
🦁 Main Character Alert: Attend Donny Altman Band at The Atlas Saloon and pretend you’re the star of a gritty Halloween jukebox musical.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
You’re trying to organize Halloween into a neat little spreadsheet, but people keep showing up to Casa Di Vite Chess Club in vampire capes, and it’s ruining your aesthetic. Breathe. Light a pumpkin candle. Attend Energy Healing with Jordan. Twice.
🧼 Control What You Can: Win the Dog Costume Contest by dressing your pup as a tiny beekeeper. Subtle. Genius. Very Virgo.
Libra (September 23 - October 22)
You’re here for the balance — a little fitness, a little fright, and just enough wine to pretend Mercury isn’t ruining your vibe. Float between Drum Fit, Downtown Trick or Treating, and Featured Wine at Casa Di Vite like a spooky social butterfly.
⚖️ Pro Tip: Attend Parents as Teachers Playdates just to compliment everyone’s outfits and leave dramatically.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
It’s your season, spooky one. Hit the 1920s Mafia Murder Mystery in full noir glam — bonus points if no one knows your real name all night. When you’re done solving (or committing?) fake crimes, recharge at Energy Healing with Jordan.
🦂 Dark Horse Move: Quietly win the Planning and Zoning Commission with a PowerPoint about turning haunted houses into Airbnbs.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
You want ALL the experiences. Alumni Volleyball Tournament in the morning? BYOC Crafting Day by noon? Murder Mystery by night? Your Halloween is a full-blown adventure.
🏹 Wild Card Moment: Crash the Hospital Board Meeting on Monday just to ask if ghosts are covered under local ordinances.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
You’re pretending Halloween is “just another week,” but we know you’ve had your costume planned since July. Don’t act casual at the Fall Photo Session — we see that coordinated flannel.
📊 CEO Energy: Present a pie chart at City Council explaining why candy corn is a zoning issue. Walk out before questions.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Your Halloween is weird, wonderful, and slightly unhinged. You’re dressing as a haunted chess bishop for Casa Di Vite Chess Club and entering your dog in the costume contest as “existential dread.” Beautiful.
👽 Innovation Alert: Attend the Beekeeping Club Meeting dressed as a bee and see how long it takes them to notice.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
You’ve already emotionally bonded with the pumpkins at Fall Festival and are considering starting a garden commune with them. You’ll cry during the costume contest. Again.
🐟 Pisces Pro Move: Disappear mid-week to do Stroke Clinic, emerge on Saturday in a full mermaid outfit at Trick or Treat Night.
