With the sun, moon, and Mercury in Scorpio this Monday, Halloween promises to live up to its spooky and seductive reputation. Although the festivities fall on a work night (bummer!), they are not to be missed. Not in the mood for a wild party? Intimate celebrations are perfectly acceptable, whether you're slipping off to snog a Cullen-lookalike vampire or hosting an American Horror Story marathon for close friends. Heads up: The sneaky and scintillating Scorpio influence promises both tricks and treats. Go lighter on the pumpkin IPAs, and don't go flirting with your BFF's boyfriend "just because it's Halloween." The feels will be fierce this Monday — especially jealousy!

On Tuesday, the Scorpio sun will form a lucky trine (120-degree angle) to enchanted Neptune in Pisces — and we consider that a good thing, especially for Scorpio Hillary Clinton. Although this cosmic combination may reveal more secrets and scandals, it also brings the planetary PSA of, "When they go low, we go high." Avoid the Twitter trolls and damaging drags, and put energy toward the positive. That doesn't mean faking happiness when you're feeling angry! Just find ways to express yourself without taking anyone down in the process.

Scorpio

October 23 to November 21

You continue to win Halloween this Monday, as the moon, Sun, and wily Mercury keep on mingling in Scorpio. Did your weekend costume wind up in a crumpled heap of dirty laundry? No problem! Pulling together a last-minute replacement could bring out your humour and genius. But since you've been known to work magic at faster speeds than most, one of these fashion girl-approved getups could be just the thing. Hello Mew, is that you?

Overall, this will be a creative and romantic week for you. With the Scorpio sun getting downloads from divinely inspired Neptune, be fearless about expressing yourself. When it comes to love, there's only one rule: Be authentic. Though you skew toward secretive at times, your "live out loud" M.O. will make you hopelessly addictive. What have you been developing behind the scenes? Haul out those works and put them on display. You could get booked for a gig or a gallery show. If you've been quietly dating someone, this could be the perfect weekend to make your relationship Instagram-official.

Sagittarius

November 22 to December 21

Zombie walk, anyone? With planets nesting in your sleepy 12th house, you're not exactly swinging from the gothic chandeliers this Monday. Nevertheless, your creative game is strong. Pull together a costume from the fantasy category: mermaids, fairies, unicorns, you know. If you're in a more meditative mood, you might even do a Halloween yoga class or hit a substance-free dance party. This nocturnal cosmic lineup will wake you up after dark. Once you're out and about, you could do your own version of "The Time Warp," staying out later than you think.

A nourishing alignment of the sun and Neptune will help you rebound from the post-Halloween energy slump and reboot your system. Sip tons of water and tea, and break a sweat. Fill your plate with vitamin-rich foods. With your busy schedule, set up home exercise equipment so you can squeeze in workouts during the week. While you're at it, clean out your friend lists, too. Certain connections aren't working out; don't give these people a pipeline into your private world.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 19

You're the Pied Piper of the pumpkin patch this Halloween, Capricorn, thanks to planets mingling in your super-social 11th house. Organise a group hang and encourage friends to invite a plus-one (or two). New blood can energise your squad and bring promising synergies for your own future plans. When it comes to your costume, the vibe is definitely sci-fi this year. Pull together your best Princess Leia or Harley Quinn.

You'll stay in social-butterfly mode this week, as the sun and flowy Neptune collude on your behalf. Flutter around and check out new scenes or make plans to meet up in person with one of your Instagram friends. A coffee date could turn into an inspiring kindred-spirit connection — you never know! Forget hibernating: You'll have trouble being chill this week. Plan activity dates like these with your S.O. Exercise keeps you from falling into a sedentary slump — and it can increase your sex drive, too. Meow!

Aquarius

January 20 to February 18

Halloween goals could be mighty for you this year, Aquarius — so much so that you could get so fixated on finding the perfect costume that you forget to have fun. Don't let perfectionism override the real purpose here. Even if you show up in a drugstore mask, your sense of humour can more than make up for the lack of accessories. Work will be busy this week — try to stay focused on Monday so you can slip off early enough to down a pumpkin lager with your pals!

Lean in to ambitious career plans for the rest of the week. With the sun and imaginative Neptune teaming up, you can be both traditional and innovative in your approach. If no one is handing you the opportunity of your dreams, get creative and put some building blocks in place. Show and prove what you can do on a small, independent scale. For example, create your own website as a portfolio piece or devise a project that lets you flex your skills. Even if you don't get paid for it immediately, think of it as an investment in your future wealth game.

Pisces

February 19 to March 20

Would you like a shot of truth serum with that pumpkin lager? With planets in your honest-to-a-fault ninth house this Halloween, it's time to drop the mask. If you have something major to say, you might even deliver the news while in character — especially if you're copping to a crush or revealing a hidden desire for your relationship. Consider traveling to party in another city, even if you're just driving 50 miles to check out a country mansion that's been transformed into a haunted house. Your broomstick awaits, Pisces!

The candour keeps on coming throughout the week, as the sun and Neptune sync up in the most expressive zones of your chart. But keeping it real doesn't mean battering people with your truth hammer. Rewind and be kind. As compassionate Neptune (your ruling planet) advises, put yourself in the other person's shoes before delivering any judgments. You can still make your point while leaving dignities intact.

Aries

March 21 to April 19

Is that a light saber under your cape, or are you just happy that it's Halloween? With the moon simmering in seductive Scorpio this Monday, the sultry celebrations keep on going. If you clicked with a costumed cutie over the weekend, there's no reason you can't meet up for another round of, uh, trick or treat. A private celebration could be the perfect after-party, but do try to get out amongst the ghouls for a little while, maybe for an earlier showing of Rocky Horror.

Lay low for the rest of the week, though, because you'll do your best work behind the scenes. Mini meditation sessions will quiet your busy mind and allow you to hear the voice of your own intuition. Listen up, because the answers you need are already inside you, Aries. You might even be up late, finishing a creative project — and don't be surprised if the muse wakes you up with some divine downloads. Do you need to make amends? Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting, but if it's time to move on from a painful chapter, schedule heart-to-hearts this weekend.

Taurus

April 20 to May 20

Coordinate those costumes, Taurus. Monday is Halloween and with the moon lingering in Scorpio and your partnership house, dressing up offers the perfect date-night theme. No need to be all matchy-matchy: You could pick a famous or historical couple — or dress as the same person, but each pick a different era of her life. Single? Plan on staying up late Monday night, because you could meet your match while you're bobbing for apples.

The social vibes are strong all week, and with the sun and flowy Neptune in cahoots, you could expand the head count of your squad. Encourage friends to invite plus-ones, and jump into group hangs with new people. With Neptune in the picture, you could find love on the dance floor this weekend, or at a soulful yoga class or meditation circle. In a relationship? Mingle as a pair, and a mutual friend group could form for double dates and winter-season socialising.

Gemini

May 21 to June 20

No costume, no cry. Your crafty and spontaneous side is at the wheel this Monday — and what you whip together in the final hour could be pure genius, like these easy Halloween hacks we found on Pinterest. With the moon hovering in your sixth house of service, you might pull a pre-party shift taking a little kid you love trick-or-treating. And since planets are hovering in your healthy-living sector, you might just be fine with sipping sparkling water and playing designated driver for friends.

After the bite-sized Snickers have been packed away, hunker down into a more industrious groove. It's time to bring some order to your court, Gemini, so you can work smarter — not harder — when you're at your desk. Streamline your goals if you're feeling scattered, and give priority to a creative mission in the second half of the week. Over the weekend, hang out with people whose work ethic and career paths you admire. Casual conversations could lead to game-changing feedback on how to strengthen your professional game.

Cancer

June 21 to July 22

Thought you'd just stay home and pass out sweet treats this Monday? Guess again, Cancer. With the Scorpio moon hovering in your festive, flamboyant fifth house, this is not a Halloween to be missed. Take a disco nap if you're still recovering from the weekend, and then dress up! Romance could be a surprise bonus of the celebration — and an instant "hangover helper." Your competitive and creative sides are also working in tandem, so take a little longer with the face paint and accessorising because you could snag the cash prize in a costume contest.

The rest of the week will feel like a talent show with you starring as the main act. Don't be shy about putting your skills on display. With the sun and no-limits Neptune pairing up, you could win fans and followers in new parts of the world. This weekend is ideal for travel, and things could get romantic fast! Book an Airbnb with your bae or go visit friends in another city. Sparks could fly with someone from their squad — a good excuse to come back for another visit in the very near future.

Leo

July 23 to August 22

Break out the punch bowl, Leo, and give one of these concoctions a whirl. With a trinity of planets in your home-loving fourth house this Monday, there's a good chance you'll be hosting Halloween. Leave a bowl of candy out for the trick-or-treaters, and turn your living room into a dance floor. Need to get out? Skip the crowded clubs and head to a house party, where you can huddle in the corner with a haunted creature who looks just as hot when the mask is off.

Hibernating in your den could be your preference for the rest of the week. And with a sultry sun-Neptune alignment, you may be entertaining a very special guest star. Have Belgian waffles delivered from the diner, and eat your breakfast in bed. Single and loving it? A rejuvenating girls' weekend could be the perfect pick-me-up. Think: a Scream Queens marathon with comfort food, mani-pedis, and face masks — at Chateau Leo or an adorable Airbnb with a hot tub, even!

Virgo

August 23 to September 22

No mask, no costume? No problem! With Monday's crafty starmap, a clever makeup scheme could bring the pop. Glitterbomb your mug, or try these face-painting techniques. A quick stop at the drugstore and a steady hand are all that's required. Consider teaming up with a friend on your scheme. You could slay as matching mimes or mermaids. You'll be in quite the social groove, so plan to stay up late, without staying in one place too long. Why, yes, you can check out a parade, stop by two parties, and bring down the house with a karaoke rendition of "The Time Warp."

The social energy continues to weave throughout your week. You'll make fast friends with people — and one connection could quickly develop into a crush. With the sun and dreamy Neptune entwined in your partnership houses, there will be a fairy-tale quality to all your interactions. While it's great to see people in such a positive light, you may also overlook their flaws. Avoid idealising, and focus on accepting them for everything they are — and are not.

Libra

September 23 to October 22

No need to tame your sweet tooth this Monday, Libra. Halloween arrives with a posse of planets in your decadent second house. Indulge in a high-end version of trick-or-treating by sampling some artisanal chocolates or pumpkin desserts at a fancy patisserie. If you have epicurean skills, be the friend who shows up to work or a party with a platter of homemade treats like these.

On Tuesday, you'll be ready to detox as flowy Neptune in your healthy-living sector syncs up with the radiant sun. Deprivation is a no-go, so try the "crowding out" method. Pile your plate higher with healthy fare that's also delicious, like acai breakfast bowls and vegetarian ramen dishes. This cosmic coupling also wakes up the creative entrepreneur in you. A side hustle could pad your pockets for the holiday season. How can you parlay one of your natural gifts into an enterprising venture? Hey, Libra Kim Kardashian was once a closet organiser to the stars. What's your secret superpower?
