Pets are our dearest friends; we love them so much we want them to join in our festive fun. But can they, really? Some pets might not mind getting dressed up in fancy dress costume on Halloween, but others will object. We need to learn how to respect the animal world, and even if it is lovely to see a pet cat with a paper hat on, we must be careful to truly care for our animals, and not push them around, or make them our play things. They are vibrant, natural creatures, and we cannot interfere with their dignity. But let us see how our Astro Club deals with Halloween Pet costumes!

ARIES

An action packed Aries loves riding. Their adoration for the trusty horse will make sure the animal maintains their dignity. No cutesy costumes for the Aries pet! Aries is an equine lover, but to make the kid sister smile, they will transform their beloved steed into a magical one on Halloween! So their very special horse morphs into the Winged Pegasus as Aries crafts a pair of custom made wings to attach to the adored jalopy, and perhaps even dream of flying away into the clouds and away from this mad, mad world!

TAURUS

Taurus adores farm pets, being so attracted to the earth, and the miracle of nature as they are. So when Halloween comes around, watch Taurus dress themselves and their cute pot bellied pet pig in a ballerina skirt. Not to humiliate the animal who already gives them so much affection and joy, but to laugh with them as they roll in the mud together. In fact the pot bellied pig has a wry grin on its face, as it watches this nutty human getting all “piggy”.

GEMINI

Gemini is an arch communicator, and loves to wish Happy Halloween to family and friends. Asking their distinguished pet eagle to fly across the airwaves to deliver greetings will not fall on deaf eagle ears. Even this noble bird will stand a mini silver Mercury hat with wings on it. The splendid creature will retain its dignified status, and look massively mythical as it flies through the door with a “Happy Halloween” message in its beak!

CANCER

If sentimental Cancer can get their beloved long eared, pet rabbit to wear a Halloween costume all well and good. But some bunnies just don’t dig having silly costumes close to their fur. However, if this bunny decides it is okay, Cancer will attempt to make the lovable “long ears” into a pretty elf, with a silk, green hat on, and magical waistcoat. So romantic and gorgeous will bunny be that children from nine to ninety will just want to pet him all day long.

LEO

Leo adores their kitty, they are so alike. Kitty sulks when nobody pays them attention, just like Leo, and scratches when individuals hurt their feelings, just like Leo. So when a Leo cat is called Pumpkin, Leo will go down on their knees and with respect ask kitty if she minds being dressed up as a fun pumpkin pie, with a cute little orange hat on and a green bow around her cuddly neck. If Kitty meows once, then it is all okay. If she meows twice and scratches Leo then best to put the Halloween costume in the drawer and try again next year!

VIRGO

When a Virgo loves an animal, a Virgo loves an animal with exactly the same dedication they pay to all things of value in their lives. So expect a Virgo to marvel at the elegant deer that grazes on the dried grass Virgo lays out for it. Of course it is impossible to dress up a deer for a fancy dress party. But that is just the way Virgo likes it. Their respect for nature and love of wild life excludes morphing animals into daft human lookalikes. If the deer is tame, Virgo will kneel before it, and give it tit bits that do not upset its digestive tract. Very special Halloween Party friends will be allowed to stay at the Virgo home till morning, and watch as the graceful deer grazes.

LIBRA

Venus ruled Libra will adore their love birds. So sweet, colourful and intelligent, these are mini parrots, and live a long life. Libra will commit their hearts, so happy to make sure the birds get out of their cages for daily exercise. When Halloween comes around Libra will dress up the bird cage with tinsel and streamers, and buy their love birds a new bird ladder. They will hang edible toys all around their cage and add mirrors so the cute birdies can look at themselves. The cage cover will be coordinated with fun Halloween star curtains; Libra believes that these colourful birds with their pink beaks and rainbow plumage are the best fancy dressed couple in town!

SCORPIO

Scorpio adores their swell pet snake; they swear that they have long conversations with the creature, and that it answers them back by sticking out its forked tongue at them. This particular pet will be kept in a tank in a specially heated area of the summer house. When Halloween comes round, what could be more fun than decorating the reptile tank with some extra goodies? Placing a few mini palm trees in the tank, for example, could be a start and then some plants around it, with perhaps gold painted artificial vines and branches twisting over the reptile tank, to give it festive splendor. However, Mr. Snake is Mr. Snake, and will hiss nastily if silly hats or ballerina skirts are pushed on to him!

SAGITTARIUS

Saggy loves animals, but since he is a free spirited type of critter always ready to roam, the Saggy pet needs to be independent. So Saggy is inclined to go for tortoises because they can be left to wander around the garden and get up to their own devices, like eating leaves and finding undergrowth to hibernate in, which is usually around Halloween. But if this is a swinging tortoise they might not be that sleepy and will not object to a pink bow tied around their shell, just to show they dig what daft humans get up to.

CAPRICORN

Capricorns are reliable types, perfectly fine with keeping a pet and looking after it full time. In fact they will grow to love the pet goats on their estate. When Halloween pops around, Cappy will get festive and craft a green paper hat for their very special goat, with some golden tassels on it, and perhaps the odd star. If that hat only last about two minutes before goatie eats it up, so what! It is fun to see garrulous goatie wearing that hat for a couple of minutes, just to make someone’s day, someone very small, like Cappy’s special little girl!

AQUARIUS

Aquarius digs freedom, and wide open skies. They are on a mission, and hate to see animals looking daft in silly costumes. They adore their dog, and their sweet long, soft ears, and big brown eyes, and when life is full of woe, they will cuddle doggy and talk to it like it is their only friend. So when Halloween comes around, the Water Carrier will want their dog to look super beautiful. They will brush their hair shiny bright and place a lucky crystal collar around the dog’s furry neck. In that moment doggie is not only a beloved dog, but a magical one too.

PISCES

Pisces will tell you that their aquarium is full of grace, or in plain language goldfish, rainbow fish and angelfish that are already dressed up in fancy dress costume; just by gazing at the creatures, one feels in a festive mood. You cannot convince the Piscean their fish are anything other than heavenly creatures, and that their costumes are miracles of nature. Pisces know that their crimson spotted rainbow fish is beautiful enough to not need a Halloween costume? Fish are peaceful, and sweet, but they will defend their territory. Don’t ever try to stick a paper hat on a Texas Cichlid fish, it could get nasty!
