The Weekly Horoscope Star Signs from Swamp Bob Aquarius: Jan 20 - Feb 18 Mercury states that your witty attempt at dressing as a hipster for Halloween will result in your friends insisting that you are not in costume and may lead to a vicious beating with pillow cases stuffed with candy corn.
Gemini: May 21 - June 21
Venus and Andromeda were heard chatting over tea that your idea to dress as a giant piñata will be a great success. Sadly, it will all end it tears when you pass a group of sugar-wired preteens craving your chocolaty filling.
Libra: Sept 23 - Oct 22 Uranus predicts that you will eat a bad piece of candy corn which will prompt you into stripping down in a corn field, covering yourself in day-glow body paint and glitter and proclaiming yourself the Pixie Queen of the Pumpkin Patch.
Pisces: Feb 19 - March 20
Cancer: June 22 - July 22
Scorpio: Oct 23 - Nov 21
Venus makes vague predictions about your Halloween costume of Snooki meeting with scorn and contempt from your friends and a very awkward proposal of marriage form the ambassador of Batswana (or at the very least someone dressed as him).
Neptune and the Ice Giants of Io both agree that you should utilize your origami skills and sculpt your costume this year out of old Cascade newspapers. Neptune wants you to do a bunny but the Ice Giants think that is overdone and you should be Pangaea instead.
Mercury and Pluto caution against drinking too much at your friend’s Halloween bush party least you get to drunk and try chatting up a directionally challenged black bear that was looking for the local salmon run.
Aries: March 21 - April 19
Leo: July 23 - Aug 22
Mercury foresees an amusing incident involving a plate of spaghetti marinara and an overzealous zombie hunter Halloween character. He suggests either avoiding spaghetti altogether or wear your running shoes at all times.
Jupiter and Ganymede debate over a game of Othello whether you will realize the zombie walk you signed up for is actually an elaborate bank heist orchestrated by a nefarious mastermind called, Fraulein Stahl Unterwasche (she watched a lot of James Bond movies as a child).
Taurus: April 20 - May 20
Virgo: Aug 23 - Sept 22
Pluto cautions that you will be stalked by the serial killing clown “Dr. Red Face” this Halloween. He also states that he will be in disguise and you should therefore simply punch out every person you see in clown costume to be safe.
Mars, Mercury and Calypso have a bet going at what point on Halloween you’ll ingest enough candy to catapult you into a sugar induced frenzy that will allow you to break the time space continuum.
Sagittarius: Nov 22 - Dec 21 Jupiter assures us that your Halloween party will be the talk of the town. He also states that this is mostly due to one of your guests having too much pumpkin punch and trying to sacrifice your cat to the Eldritch gods of which we do not speak. Make sure to have Bactine on hand for your friend as your cat does not like being picked up at the best of times.
Capricorn: Dec 22 - Jan 19
Uranus counsels against you wearing a Carmen Miranda outfit this Halloween lest your friends who partake in herbal supplements of the smokable variety mistake you for a walking fruit salad.
