It’s officially spooky season, and even though Australia totally misses out on the autumn weather, and instead of crisp falling leaves we have flowers blooming left right and centre, that does not mean we cannot have our own fun. It’s the time of year for witchy vibes, slightly provocative costumes and lots of specials on sweets.

I have always argued the possible scientific reasonings behind star signs and not always relied on the fact that most people I know are strikingly similar to their respective signs. I don’t see how planet alignments couldn’t affect our personalities, after all, it’s a very well known fact that the moon directly impacts ocean tides, and as we are made up of 70% water, why wouldn’t the moon impact us? So what does this spooky season mean for your star sign? Pull out your co-star, let’s get into it.

Halloween Horoscopes

It’s Libra season, this season represents socialising, which we believe coincides with the ending of NSW lockdowns and the ability to legally hit the pubs. Most importantly we are currently enduring our third mercury retrograde this year and on October 31st, the moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. 

We are currently in a Mercury Retrograde, meaning our communication is skewed, we have issues with our technology, people from our past we’d rather forget may be popping up. Retrogrades aren’t as scary as they’re made out to be, they present opportunities for us to grow and leave behind the things that are holding us back. That’s message the tarot gives us – trials and tribulation can lead the way for new beginnings.

I recommend everyone have a clear quartz and selenite in their arsenal. 

Clear Quartz is the gem of spirituality, and it’s an amplifying stone, it will boost the energy of any of crystals, including the ones mentioned today. 

Selenite is a cleansing crystal, meaning it’ll keep the energies around you pure.
