Weather 
Halloween is upon us, and the astro weather is seasonably scary.
Our annual celebration of the thinning of the veil, the overconsumption of candy, and the strange impetus to make even the most modest of characters into a sexy costume (looking at you, Pikachu) will be governed by strange stars indeed.
“This Halloween follows some dynamic days packed full of astrological highlights, all of which will color our collective experience of the holiday,” Rachel Ruth Tate, certified astrologer at Casinos Analyzer, told The Post.
The party starts with a trine betwixt warrior Mars and drunk uncle Jupiter on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
“Mars in rulership in Scorpio perfects its trine to an exalted Jupiter in Cancer, ushering in a wave of productivity and personal flow,” Tate said. “No matter the manifestation, this transit helps us work through whatever we’ve got to work out and gives us the emotional buoyancy to stay upbeat!”
Trick or trine
On Wednesday, Oct. 29, Mercury in Scorpio forms a trine with Neptune retrograde in Pisces before shifting into Sagittarius and opposing Uranus retrograde.
“These transits are asking us to think fast! Halloween plans may change at the last minute – and maybe the reshuffle sets you up to have way more fun than you even imagined possible. Surprise begets delight, right?” asked Tate.
She urges celebrants to hold commitments lightly.
“Remember to give others the grace you wish to receive amidst the random chaos or strange changes that may ensue. It might be difficult to get places on time, so leave early for appointments and make sure you’ve got driving directions handy.”
Grand Water Trine
Also on Oct. 29, a grand water trine floods us with feels.
“Take advantage of the chance to emotionally process and move through and beyond any internally troubled waters,” Tate told The Post. “Trust your instincts and take responsibility for your actions and reactions! The emo vibe will match the upcoming holiday, rest assured.”
Mercury retroshade
To boot — or boo, as it were — Mercury is in its pre-retrograde shadow, amplifying the likelihood of last-minute changes of plan, twists of fate and doom thinking.
“Whatever is on your mind will continue rolling around in there, so let yourself noodle on it,” said Tate.
Halloween night: Moon in Pisces makes it dreamy — or dramatic
Come Halloween, the waxing moon in “high as I want to be” Pisces forms a trine with the sun in broody, moody Scorpio.
“The moon in Pisces will bring with it the jovial energy of Jupiter, though it may also encourage us to enjoy one too many or bring about heightened sensitivity and perhaps overstimulation,” suggested Tate. “You’ll know when it’s time to take yourself to bed!”
Whether you retire to bed alone or in the company of a mermaid or zombie lifeguard is your business.
However, and with whomever, it might be the right night to call it early.
“Don’t hesitate to tap out if the festivities become too much, and do your best not to take anyone else’s big feelings too seriously — because all of the traditional planets besides Mercury and Venus are in water signs, so it will be squishy out there.”
Halloween horoscopes for every sign
“A lot has been going on below the surface for you, Aries! You may be majorly in your feels with some uncharacteristically intense emotions and personal situations popping up. Let it happen,” said Tate
“You’ve had a lot of conversations going on, Taurus! Ride the synergy and allow things to come together (or apart!) as these social situations unfold,” encouraged Tate.
“Life has felt like a lot of work lately, Gemini! Keep your chin up and your head down. Gratitude will keep you level,” said Tate.
“Things have been breaking your way, Cancer! Ride the wave of joy and meaning you’ve been surfing with the confidence that you’ve got this. Dream big and commit to worthy endeavors,” advised Tate.
“This season has been drenched in emotion for you, Leo! Meditation and rest can help to steady your ship amidst the intensity of these seas. To quote ‘The Lion King’: ‘Remember who you are,’” said Tate.
“You’ve been in a few sticky situations that may have you feeling drained, Virgo! Let people help you — you don’t have to do it all alone. Many hands make light work and a deeper connection,” said Tate.
“Everybody has been loving you of late, Libra, but it’s time to get down to business! Use your signature charm to move the needle where it counts. Work smarter, not harder,” said Tate.
According to Tate, “You’re made strong for a reason, Scorpio! Use your energy to press forward with your goals, BUT make sure to have fun doing it. You’re quite likely ‘on a sick one,’ as the kids say.”
“Sagittarius, mentally and emotionally, things have been … a lot! For best results, be vulnerable and go as deep as you’re able. Maybe get quiet and see what happens?” suggested Tate.
“You’ve been quite the seagoat about town, Capricorn! Social calls and community activities have filled your calendar, but you get to choose WHO to prioritize. You can’t be everything to everyone,” reminds Tate.
“You’ve been undergoing a lot of personal change, Aquarius. Some of these adjustments may have hit the bank account hard, so there is likely some catching up to do and some edits to make. Lean in and take care!”
“Your world has likely been heavy recently, Pisces! Between existential musings, devastating conversations, and straight-up praying for a break in the rain, try and make time to enjoy the struggle,” said Tate.
