The Signs As Halloween Candy (+ What your costume should be!) 🍭🎃

Hey bougie bruja babies! What’s up y’all?? Happy Spooky Season 👻 This is my first blog post, yaaaay! If you’re here, you might be curious about astrology, tarot, or spirituality in general. So welcome to your first stop on a long spiritual journey ahead!

One thing you guys are always asking me is “Hey, what do you personally think of Aries signs? What do you personally think of Virgos?”

So BOOM! Here y’all go. I’m finally answering this age old question. My thoughts on each of the 12 zodiac sun signs in the form of Halloween candy and costumes. Now stop asking me!! (Jk, I love you guys 😜)

Aries: Taffy Apples

We’re starting with the best first 😘 I’m just kidding (no I’m not, haha!). I’m TOTALLY being biased right now because I’m clearly an Aries sun. I love our sign for real, but I won’t be too easy on us! I’m gonna keep it real. An Aries is definitely an apple to the eye. People can’t even seem to look away from you. Aries dress sexy yet sweet. Cute yet classy. We’re definitely hot as fuck, like all the time. But underneath the exterior, we’re some real hot heads when want to be. We could have a temper that could literally raise our temperatures (that’s scientifically proven, I swear. Google it). But it’s all out of love or justice. An Aries is only pissed when provoked. Otherwise, we’re as sweet as candied apples during spooky season 🎃🍎 And like taffy, we know at times we can be too much. But you know you NEVER want to go through spooky season without having us just once. Aries are great friends, and even better romantic partners. No wonder no one ever wants to be “just friends” with an Aries! There’s never a dull moment when you’re with an Aries, and they are charmers without even trying. Aries are admirable. When we’re motivated, we make shit HAPPEN. But if we aren’t careful, we can lose our concentration and confidence quickly. This can happen because we get bored during the learning process, or because we get nervous and procrastinate. But an Aries doesn’t break a promise, especially one they’ve made to themselves. It’ll definitely get done, and it’ll get done on time— even if it’s at the last minute. An Aries has to remember the importance of quality and that every minute matters. That a minute spent worrying is a minute wasted. But this procrastination and anxiety is because of the pedestal Aries can feel placed on. You may also feel this pressure to always make the best first impressions because you’re first house ruled. You always have some sort of leader role that makes you first. And since you’re always used as a prime example, you’re afraid to fail. This can eventually lead you to postpone from even trying. But through the madness of it all, an Aries is genius. You work through any and all adversity. Since you’re always moving so fast, having a million thoughts a minute, you’re naturally a quick thinker. It’s because you work so well under pressure that you’re always trusted with such great positions of power. But every diamond has a little bit of pressure, and don’t forget Aries are ruled by diamonds 💎 You’re a star! ✨

And I know, I know. Taffy Apples aren’t exactly a candy. But Aries live dangerously and dare to be different. So this sweet treat definitely represents us. And even though it’s Halloween, an apple a day is your theme.

That’s why I think you’d make a great Snow White (and if you’re a dude, then one of the 7 dwarves haha).

Taurus: Hershey’s Milk Chocolate

It can’t get anymore classic than a Hershey’s bar, and that’s how I think Taurus operate as well. They may not be the first zodiac sign, but they’re going to let you know they’re original and independent one way or the other! It’s a chocolate that some may call a little boring or plain, maybe even a little dry like the earth and dirt, but don’t judge a book by its cover! Because if you try it just once, chances are you’ll want one again. And if they’re offered to you, you’d never turn it down. The ingredients seem simple, but the creation of it is actually quite complex. There are many steps one needs to take in order to get on a Hershey bar or Taurus’ level. Just like Taurus, the Hershey bars are extremely versatile, working well with all seasonal elements. You want them with your s’mores during summer camp fires. You want them with your cocoa in cold winters. And if you don’t have a Hershey’s in your candy bag by the time you finish trick-or-treating on Halloween, it practically feels like a wasted trip. Though you think a Hershey’s is something you don’t need, you’ll notice when it’s missing. This is how I feel about Taurus. The lesson as to why they’re in your life always makes sense later, and when they’re gone, you miss them. It’s because they keep you grounded.

And both a Hersheys and a Taurus aesthetically look good! You have this signature look about you. One that can’t be copied even when people try (and they WILL try). Your look is vintage. You don’t just wear what everyone else is wearing because it’s popular right now. And you don’t just follow trends, you set them! Whether you’re doing a throw back look of the decades, or are trying something new and futuristic, a Taurus is always standing out from the crowd. You’re a classic that can keep up with the times. I had a hard time trying to decide if Taurus should be represented by Hershey’s or Pay Day chocolate (because you’re business oriented and always coming up with money making moves, so this candy would be perfect too). So! I thought your costume should be a combination of both.

You should go as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, or as London Tipton from Suit Life of Zack And Cody! Two classic characters for two classic candy bars. They knows how to present themselves with class and prestige, even in a room full of people trying to patronize them because of how they look. They reminds us, I reiterate, not not to judge a book by its cover. They know their worth and add tax, and wouldn’t change themselves for anyone. That said, this Hershey’s and an Elle Woods/London Tipton combo for Halloween make sense for Taurus.

Gemini: Smarties

Okay smarty, go to a party 🤪 And that’s exactly what a Gemini will do! You’re book smart and street smart. There’s not much a Gemini doesn’t know, and if they don’t know it, best believe they’re about to find out. Gemini’s are inquisitive creatures by nature. They don’t wait to be taught something. Geminis are students of life, and they’ll become their own teacher and student if need be. They don’t shy away from or down play their intelligence. They know they are smarty pants (and they like for them to come in skinny jeans or joggers— no in between).

Geminis are playful and passionate. They like to joke around but they know when it’s time to sit down and be serious. They can balance their fun and fundamentals. And the thing I like about Geminis is… they’re all the same. There are no surprises. There’s nothing I can’t expect when it comes to a Gemini. I see why you guys have “the twin” symbol. It’s like all Gemini’s are twins in reverse or something. You may all look different on the outside, but on the inside you’re all so similar. This reminds me of the smarties candy. They’re all different colors on the outside, but on the inside, they taste the same. Sweet yet sour. Hard yet soft. Smooth yet… chalky. They all have different personalities (like a Gemini).

That’s why for Halloween, I think you should have a matching costume with someone. You and your siblings, you and your bestie, you and your partner, or maybe you and another Gemini. Coordinate your costumes. If you guys are siblings, go as some popular sibling duo/trios like the Power Puff Girls, Mario and Luigi, or Thing 1 and Thing 2. If it’s you and your partner, try Barbie and Ken or the Joker and Harley Quinn. If it’s you and your bestie, go for Buzz and Woody or Wednesday and Enid.

Whatever your case, make sure you in the cut with your twin vibin 😜

Cancer: Starburst

So I decided there was only one candy that I felt like related most to Cancers: Starburst. Why? Because the original starburst flavors include strawberry, lemon, orange, and cherry. And most of us only like 3 out of 4 Starburst flavors in the pack. This is how I feel about cancer signs lol. I generally only like 3 out of every 4 that I meet. Now now, don’t get mad Cancers! You better not cry or pout— cause santa clause is coming to toooowwwnn (Oops! Wrong holiday, teehee). But that’s still a 75% chance of me liking you!! Honestly, with how picky of a person I am (when it comes to my candy I mean), that is pretty damn good. That’s still a passing grade 😝

Starburst is the kind of candy where it’s like, you’re not MAD if you get them in your candy bag. You like them to per say. But you’d be PISSED if that’s all you got when you go trick or treating. Because though they’re a nice little break from chocolate, they can be sweet. TOO sweet. And if you have too many or too much at one time, you’d get sick. This is how Cancers make me feel. I like MOST of them, most of the time. Sometimes, I even have a craving for them. But I can only take them in doses. No— not daily doses. More like weekly… monthly.

But starburst is packaged so colorful and fun, and they’re full of flavor. They make you water at the mouth because they’re so chewy, it’s no wonder they’ve been assigned to a water sign. And they’re one of the few candies that don’t have chocolate as an ingredient that are actually GOOD. I mean, if you have too much of any good thing, it’ll make you sick. But I don’t know. There’s just something about Cancers that always have you coming back. Chocolate bars are mainly thought about and advertised during Halloween, but Starburst are the kind of candy you want to have year round.

All that said, I think the costume for cancers should match the color and fun of the starburst wrappers and flavors. A beautiful butterfly, a unique unicorn, or a clown (but make it sexy) could be classic yet cute Halloween costumes for you based on your sign and candy.

Leo: Skittles

Leo’s are a rainbow of different colors. When you stick your hand in the bag, you never know which one you’re going to get. But you can stick your hand in the bag with confidence knowing that no matter the color you get, it’ll be sweet. This can be a lot like Leo’s. No matter the kind of day they had or the mood they’re in, they’ll try their hardest to be as sweet as can be. When life gives them lemons, they make lemonade. And when people leave a sour taste in their mouth, they still find a way to taste the rainbow.

Leo’s are extremely colorful and they’re definitely the definition of eye candy (I’m talking Halloween candy)! They’ll wear colors as bold and bright as each skittle, bravely blending them together. Each color represents the energy of their aura. And whether they’re red with anger or green with envy, leo’s always remember they are dominated by yellow: the color of opportunity and optimism. They are ruled by the sun, so naturally, they always find a way to look on the bright side. And whether we’re discussing Skittle flavors or a Leo’s feelings, this candy and zodiac constellation compliment each other so well.

No matter how they feel at the beginning of the day, by the end of the day, Leo’s will always try to be the best person they can be.

And like Skittles, when you’re trying to chew them and they cut your mouth a little, Leo’s are very sharp tongued. This is because they’re highly intelligent and quick witted. They can be pretty hard to chew, and like a Leo giving an opinion, it can be a tough pill (or candy) to swallow. But they always mean well.

All this said, I think Leo’s should be someone powerful for Halloween. Someone who defies beauty standards and isn’t afraid to speak their truth. A Cleopatra or Josephine Baker look could be one for the BOOKS.

Virgo: Candy Corn

Though it’s not everyone’s favorite Halloween treat, I think Virgos should be candy corn. Why? Because when candy corn comes out in convenience stores, you know it’s almost time for spooky season!! And that’s what Virgos feel like to me. They’re like the first fall of a leaf to signify its Autumn. When candy corn comes out, that’s how you know Halloween and spooky season are right around the corner.

Virgo season is bitter sweet, kinda like how Candy Corn taste and how Virgos are to me. It’s like you know when summer is about to end, and the temperature is about to go down. You’re sad because the beaches are about to close and you gotta hit the books again soon for school; but, you’re also excited because of the anticipation of Halloween, harvest season, and hay rides. It’s all bitter sweet. So is Candy Corn. It’s bitter sweet. You LIKE it, but you don’t necessarily LOVE it. It almost taste like it’s missing something. Like it needs to be paired with something else then it’ll be PERFECT.

And this is also how I feel about Virgos as a sign. They are also bittersweet to me. Like they need to come with a side of something (or someone) else. A Virgo is someone I may not hang out with one on one myself, but if we’re in a group setting, I will have a BALL with a Virgo. It’s like I need other signs and elements to help me balance out energies with a Virgo. Cause sometimes fire and dirt just causes more destruction. I need water or air around to fan the flames Virgos can cause in me. It’s like, I like them, but I wouldn’t take them by themselves.

And you know what else? I don’t eat candy corn by themselves either. I’d prefer to have them in my cookies, please!

But Virgos look GOODT! They may make your blood pressure boil up sometimes, but Virgos can dress DOWN! This summer has been all about your Virgo Queen Bee. That said, I think you should recreate one of Beyoncé’s Renaissance looks for Halloween. Go for the gold!! (Well— for the silver rather!!)

Libra: Snickers

I never met a Libra that couldn’t make me snicker! A Libra is quite hilarious. They always have something witty to say or a clever comeback, just like the back of a snickers bar. They are highly intelligent and they don’t like their knowledge being challenged. If you try to condescend a Libra, you may be the one leaving out embarrassed. Libras may be an air sign, but they are definitely not an air head. You never know what a Libra will say or do next! How they’ll act. What they’ll wear! Libras are unpredictable on the outside. They can present themselves to be a bit hard, like the peanuts in a first bite of a snickers bar. But on the inside, you always know what to expect. They’re as mushy and gooey as their caramel core.

Like their Gemini cousin sign, Libra’s are definitely the life of the party. As a matter of fact, spooky season doesn’t start until you have a Snicker, and the party doesn’t start until a Libra gets there. And just like how Snickers have been voted the most loved and popular candy in the world, a Libra will tend to be the most loved or popular person in the room. I mean it makes sense, you are Venus ruled 💁🏽‍♀️ People love to hate you, and hate to love you. You give Mean Girls energy! Burn book energy. “On Wednesday’s we wear pink” energy. It’s no wonder one of Mean Girls most popular quotes “October 3rd” happens during Libra season.

And why do I think you should be a mean girl? Because you’re not you when you’re hungry 😂 That said, I think you’d make a hell of a Regina George or Katy Harring for Halloween.

Scorpio: Candy Cigarettes (Candy Sticks)

There’s no wonder Halloween is during Scorpio season!! There’s a beauty about you that’s timeless. Haunting even. So it’s no wonder you were born in this season. As I was thinking about your sign and what kind of candy you’d be, I realized how underrated Scorpios are and Scorpio season is Like the costumes! The creativity!! The colors!!! THE CANDY!!!! While everyone else is waiting around for Thanksgiving and Christmas, a Scorpios favorite holiday happens now (well soon, it’s October 8th haha— we’ll let Libras finish)! I also thought about how controversial Halloween is in itself. Like there are evangelical conservatives that literally protest and ban your Scorpion holiday. The “Devils Birthday.” People literally fear your holiday. And I don’t know, call me crazy, but I think it’s actually iconic to harness that kind of power. To make that kind of noise. Because how do you fear something you do not know? I feel like that’s how people treat Scorpio. People think Scorpios as people are just as spooky as the goblins and ghouls this season is associated with.

So when your zodiac sign and your seasonal holiday causes all this controversy, what kind of candy could you POSSIBLY associate yourself with??

Candy cigarettes. Now formally known as candy sticks (after legislatures deemed smoking as dangerous and candy cigarettes as morally unethical).

Why did I choose this?? Because it’s bad ass, just like you! It taste super sweet, but it gets a bad rep because again, people fear what they do not know. And you know what else? Isn’t it IRONIC how the newer designs look like candy canes?? Hmmm. This almost feels like candy colonization (HA! Kidding…).

But don’t be surprised you got this candy, Scorpio. You may be a water sign, but you are LITERALLY a smoke show 😍 Some people literally feel hotter just standing next to you. And to others, like smoking itself, your love is like a drug they become addicted to.

But behind every angelic face, lies skeletons in the closet and demons. I know it’s not all perfection and pumpkins over here. I know you go through a lot of dark days, Scorpio. You feel like a Jack O’ Lantern without the candle. But you’re gonna light your way.

All this said, I think you should go as half angel, half demon for Halloween. Show that whether you have horns or a halo, a Scorpio knows how to have a hell of a good time. A second costume could be a sexy 80s biker or biker babe. It’s giving Danny from Grease!

Sagittarius: Atomic FireBall

Sagittarius suns are what people think Aries and Leo suns are. They’re little balls of flaming fire, so it’s no wonder that if you were a candy, you’d be a FireBall. Sagittarius suns are as hot as this candy 😍 When people say candy is supposed to be sweet, you challenge that. You dare to be different and to step outside the box, so it’s no wonder you’d be a candy that people get dared to eat an entire bag of. You are HOT! 3500 Scoville units of hot, just like this candy. The heat from a FireBall packs a powerful punch, and the texture is compared to that of a jawbreaker. This is just like a Sagittarius. When they’re angry, their reactions can be explosive, and their words will hit you where it hurts. But they’ll always leave a sweet, cinnamon aftertaste that reminds you “hey… they’re really not so bad after all.” Through atomic arguments and dark times, a Sagittarius will always try to end things on a light note and look on the bright side. Because they don’t LIKE to argue, but they will defend themselves if need be.

You’re literally built different than everybody else. Even the compounds you’re created with are different than the other elements and their candies. FireBalls are fueled with the same compounds that naturally occur in jalepenos and chilly spices. This is much different compared to their cocoa infused counterparts. While every other sign is busy trying to be sweet this Halloween, Sagittarius and their FireBalls bring the spice to spooky season. Not only do Sagittarius and FireBalls bring spice, but they also bring warmth, which is much needed since the end of Sagittarius season marks the beginning of chilly season.

I honestly love Sagittarius because they’re so ambitious. Just like their bow and arrow symbol, when Sagittarius set their mind on something, they aim for a bulls eye. They don’t settle for less than best, and being Jupiter ruled, they tend to get lucky on their first shot. Sagittarius are soldiers. And though they don’t win every battle, they’ll definitely win the war.

That said, I think you’d make a daring Devil (or dare devil) or a wonderful warrior for Halloween this year (it’s giving Ares or Artemis). Another costume could be Ice Spice.

Even though our sister is a Capricorn, her fire red fro fits our FireBall theme.

Capricorn: Haribo Gummy Bears

Capricorns are such cute, cuddly little teddy bears to me. I feel like year round, you try so hard to act hard and tough, especially around Halloween. But trying to be someone or something you’re not is a costume in itself. So embrace your inner bear, Capricorn!! You’re Winnie The Pooh! You’re a Build-A-Bear! A Care Bear! A Haribo Gummy Bear!! Stop trying to be a grizzly bear. Or the big bad wolf. Or The Devil. It’s funny because I still can’t believe Capricorns are ruled by The Devil tarot card. I’m not saying you’re always an angel, but you definitely are a saint when you want to be.

It’s no surprise your season starts during the holidays— what many consider to be the happiest time of year. They don’t call it “The Happy World of Haribo” for nothing! Capricorns are the sweetest givers. Even though it’s their birthday that crosses with the holidays, they’re always thinking about how they can make the gifts they buy for everyone else special. Capricorns read vibes really well. They know what people want without them even having to say anything. You may be the last zodiac season of the year, but you’re always making sure to put other people first. There’s such a homey and welcoming hospitality energy about you. It’s no wonder Capricorn season starts during a time when many people are traveling to return home to their families. Capricorns, you are an earth sign, so to many, you ARE home! You’re an elemental embodiment of Mother Earth. You’re as caring as those aforementioned Care Bears.

And Capricorns, in my experience, can cook their asses off! “Why buy the candy when you can make it?” is a Capricorn’s catch phrase. There are no tricks over here when it comes to Capricorns, only treats.

That said, I think you’d make a cute Pooh Bear or Panda for Halloween this year.

Aquarius: Sour Patch Kids

I have a lot to say about Aquarius lol! Personally, this is the only sign I seem to ever REALLY clash with!! Sun, Moon, AND RISING. When it comes to Aquarius, they’ve either been a trick or a treat to me. They’re like the little sour patches in the Sour Patch Kids commercials. First they’re sour. They’ll do something that either ruins your life (or inconveniences your day). Then they’re sweet. And they’ll do something to make you completely love them. Then they’re gone. They go ghost. Without another word. Til they come back, and the cycle repeats until you put a stop to it.

But here’s the thing—

Whether or not you necessarily WANT an Aquarius in your life— you probably NEED an Aquarius in your life. Aquarius can be lessons or blessings, but it all boils down to whether you react to an Aquarius or respond to them. You either learn something about yourself, or learn something about life after dealing with an Aquarius. Aquarius tend to keep you on your toes because they are very, very calculated creatures. Always one step ahead. They know what they’re doing, even if they try to play it off like they don’t. I think Aquarius have the mystery and intensity that they say Scorpios have. Aquarius can be cliqued up a bit. They have a few close knit people and that’s all they want around them. They have a hard time opening themselves up to new people and effectively expressing their emotions. Once you finally break down the barriers of an Aquarius and finally see them for who they are, it’s the most enchanting experience on earth. But don’t be surprised if they quickly close off again, or just disappear into thin air (they are an air sign after all!). And don’t take it personally. There’s a pattern of Aquarius (suns and moons) being the signs with some of the most deeply rooted traumas in a range of categories. They may not have been taught proper coping mechanisms or how to healthily address their problems, so they shut down to protect themselves. Many Aquarius have had spooky past, and they’ve had some chilling adventures as well. But if they get into their Sabrina energy, they’ll see how powerful they can be! Their wicked past can be turned into a wicked awesome future if they believe they are filled with magic and other witchy wonders. Because they’ve had such dark past, Aquarius know how to lighten the mood. They give great advice, though they also need to learn how to receive it.

And like the people in the Sour Patch Kids commercials, you can’t help to forgive them. Because they’re so cute!! And they look like they feel so bad!! And after they’re sour, they’re soooo sweet!! But when it comes to Aquarius you have to be careful! There’s this one Sour Patch commercial where the little Sour Patch burns this guys money, then gives him a penny in return. Sometimes when it comes to an Aquarius, we have to learn to remember our worth.

Because Aquarius are ethereal beauties, they’ll make sure everybody knows that. They speak their minds, whether it’s a solicited opinion or not. An aquarius is not afraid to be themselves— whether that’s a good person or a bad person.

And it’s Halloween time now, but I have no costume for you this time, Aquarius. You seem to wear those year round. Instead, while everyone else is running around trying to figure out who else they can be, I want you to ask yourself: who are you, Aquarius?

Without the mask?

Pisces: Swedish Fish

I really fuck with Pisces for real (and I’m not just saying that because it’s my sidereal sun)! Pisces really defy the water sign stereotype to me. Though their symbol is an aquatic creature, you really won’t see this water sign with the water works. Though some say Pisces are the most emotional water sign, maybe even more so than Cancer, I beg to differ. Pisces are the only sign that I’d say is truly hard on the interior and exterior. They work hard. They play hard to get. When they do love, they love HARD. And they’ve been through many hardships, but through all the hard shit, they make it look so easy.

I fuck with Pisces, because they don’t really give a fuck. They don’t give one fish, two fish, red fish, or blue fish about what’s going on. They really be making their own money and minding their own business. Pisces don’t always wear their heart on their sleeve, but you’ll know their love is there. They let it come to the surface and don’t try to bury their feelings as deeply. When they fall in love, they get all day dreamy. They imagine a life with this person. Even though they’re a water sign, supposedly ruled by emotion, a Pisces in love is much more vocal. You’d think they’d be home to Mercury, not Neptune. Pisces will scream they’re in love from the tops of mountains on land to the bottom of the ocean if they could. And if there’s a way they could say it from space, they would too.

But don’t fooled. Because as much as a Pisces is a romantic, they’re also a realist. They have no problem remembering that there are plenty of fish in the sea. If you fumble their heart, don’t be surprised if they start fucking with somebody else. And this is why I fuck with them. They don’t give a fuck.

All this said, I think you should be Ariel for Halloween. We’re talking about a bad ass boss bitch who defied standards, stereotypes, and status quos. I think this represents Pisces as a whole. And in the year of Halle Bailey’s live action The Little Mermaid, what a better Halloween to be Ariel than this one??

Well, that’s all folks! And look, we started with a Disney princess costume, and we ended with one! Awwwwwn how sweet! That’s gotta be a sign or something! 👑

I really love it ✨ Happy (early) Halloween my bougie bruja babies! Who do you think I’m going to be? 👀
