Halloween is upon us, the time of ghosts and goblins, witches and zombies. This is the time of year when you can be anything you want to be for one night, free of judgment. However, while it sounds like the perfect time to celebrate, it’s not going to be all fun and games for these 3 zodiac signs…

There is no denying the fact that Americans love Halloween. In fact, retail spending for this fun and spooky holiday is estimated to reach $9 billion in 2018, with slightly less than 175 million Americans celebrating. What is it that draws so many to enjoy such a creepy time of year? For some, the scare factor alone is enough – the perfect opportunity to watch horror movies and embrace all that is weird, dark and frightening in this world. Others still love the imagination and creativity. It’s a far more cost-effective holiday than Christmas for most, allowing families to enjoy this time with far less stress.

However, somewhere along the way with the horror movies, cheap decorations, and creative costumes, we have come to forget that not all the negative and toxic influences on our lives are merely a work of Halloween fiction. In fact, this energy is very real, and it can impact our lives in a profound way.

While modern families embrace the horror of Halloween, the celebrations originated with the traditional Celtic ‘Feast of the Dead’, Samhain. This was a time in which it was believed that the veil dropped allowing the ghosts and spirits of those we lost to wander among us. With our deceased loved ones, however, so too came evil spirits seeking to bring pain upon everyone they met. This highly spiritual time is said to bring an overwhelming and complex energy upon us. Are you prepared?

This Halloween will be an incredibly rough experience for these 3 zodiac signs:

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

With Venus, your ruling planet, moving into retrograde in time for Halloween, you should be prepared for her to play some serious tricks on your life. You may find yourself acting recklessly in your love life, throwing your heart around as if it cannot be broken. At the same time, Venus’ love for all things that bring pleasure will likely encourage you to give into the plethora of candy that surrounds this holiday. It will be like being a child all over again, eating so much candy that you actually make yourself sick. Remember, even good things cause us to cross the line into too much. Keep yourself focused, your eye on the prize. This will help you to avoid the temptations of Venus during this time.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

On October 31st, your ruling planet of Venus will move into Libra. This, combined with the lingering impact from Venus Retrograde will likely lead you to seriously question many aspects of your life. Suddenly clear decisions and direction appear muddled and unsure, your whole identity as you know it is called into question. Try not to allow this to discourage you. Consider this a time of self-discovery, but it’s definitely not going to be an easy one! Make some time in your busy schedule for meditation, clearing your mind and seeking answers. You will walk out the other side of this challenge stronger and more self-aware than ever before.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

If you’ve been looking for love, you may want to put those efforts on the back burner for a little bit. With both Venus and Uranus, your ruling planet, in retrograde, lucky is certainly not going to be on your side. In fact, you should be prepared for a time of great tension when it comes to your love life. This can lead to significant disagreements, tearing apart relationships that once appeared to be solid and secure. Be patient, both with yourself and others. While your relationships are going to be put to the test, this will reveal those that are destined to last. However, you may want to avoid starting anything new until the energies of the universe return to ‘normal’ once again.
