Halloween Costumes by Sign
Astrology reveals your other side

by Jeffrey Kishner

We all have an inner superhero or sexy alter ego waiting to come out, and what better time than Halloween to fly your flag? Look to the qualities of your Sun sign to see what costumes would help you express yourself with the most fun and flash!

Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Your sign is ruled by Mars, the warrior of the zodiac. Dress up as a gladiator or a luchador (a Mexican wrestler). Aries is also the sign of courage, so a police officer, firefighter or military officer uniform would help you express your inner Ram.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Your sign is known for earthy beauty, from sensuous curves to brawny muscles. Dress up as Miss America or Mr. Universe to show off what you've got. You can also dress up as Poison Ivy or a walking tree to channel the Bull's love for green pastures.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
What better way to dress up than to be Siamese Twins with your best bud or girlfriend? You can literally be joined at the hip! Gemini is also an androgynous sign, so be a half-man/half-woman creature … or just go in drag!

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Your sign loves the homeland, so express your patriotism as the Statue of Liberty, Uncle Sam or America's true ancestor, a Native American. Cancer also loves food, so dress up as an oversized banana or a milk carton.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)
What better way to channel your sign's mascot than as the Lion from The Wizard of Oz, or in a sexy cat costume? And of course, Leo rules royalty and stars, so dress up as a king, queen or a-list celebrity. Or just wear gold!

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
This word-loving sign can express its erotic earthiness as a sexy librarian. Virgo is also associated with Demeter, the grain goddess … so a chaff of wheat may be right up your alley. And being your favorite pet would also be appropriate for this sign.
