Halloween is a celebration that goes back through the ages and was originally a prayer day to give blessings to those who had died. So in a sense, it's also a celebration of life. Here's a Halloween horoscope costume guide, so if you're having trouble selecting a party look, you can do it by the stars!

ARIES

MS. ARIES: The Wicked Witch is here. With your temper tantrums you can be a bitchy witch. You can also be a white witch, but for Halloween, it's definitely the noir variety! Or look for a Venetian mask. Perfect for party time!

MR. ARIES: The Devil ... those poor misguided souls who can't stay on the straight and narrow will walk straight into your pitchfork. For a mask, go for a storm trooper - great for the Aries warrior.

TAURUS

MR. TAURUS: Try a Gandalf wizard costume and use your levelheaded powers to fight evil and restore good in the world. Or wear a Frankenstein mask - after all, you both don't like to be rushed!

MS. TAURUS She's ruled by Venus, so it has to be the goddess Venus! There's love, glamour and beauty, but watch out: Venus also has a jealous and possessive side to her. A peacock feather mask would be perfect.

GEMINI

MS. GEMINI: For you, it has to be a fairy. Of course, you'd be a mischievous fairy, who just couldn't help playing a few little tricks here and there. For a mask, look at a variety of jester faces, the beautiful ones of course.

MR. GEMINI: Since Geminis love to play tricks, a wicked jester costume is perfect. Now you can be the prankster and get away with it. For your twin, look for a vampire mask.

CANCER

MS. CANCER: Lily Munster. Lily was a loving mother and dedicated wife but don't even think about crossing her, because don't forget, she was also a vampiress. As Cancers like to stand by their men, try a Laura Bush mask.

MR. CANCER: The perfect costume for you is a masked bandit, and for a mask, look for a ghost face, to suit your intense intuitive side.

LEO

MS. LEO: Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile is totally you. After all, you are a queen, now everyone else will know it, too. Or wear a wicked-queen mask, or anything that says you are the most cherished of all.

MR. LEO: Hail Caesar. Portraying an emperor of this standing is a natural for a Leo. Take control and be the leader you were born to be. If choosing a mask, make it Elvis Presley - nothing less than a standing ovation.

VIRGO

MS. VIRGO: It has to be a Batwoman costume. Under that sweet virginal appearance there's a vampire bat just waiting to be released on unsuspecting bystanders. For a mask, go for the opposite and wear Moulin Rouge.

MR. VIRGO: Count Dracula. Straight from Transylvania, you'll be able to charm your way into the arms (or necks) of captivated lovers. Or try on a "Wizard of Oz" Tin Man mask - logical, with feelings.

LIBRA

MR. LIBRA: Drag it up as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You may look scary but you're into fairness - and protection. Or try on a John F. Kennedy mask and align yourself with presidential power.

MS. LIBRA: What else but Cinderella - beautiful, romantic and charming. For a star sign that loves beauty and is ruled by Venus, it's a perfect choice. If wearing a mask, go for Condoleezza Rice, who's also a master of diplomacy.

SCORPIO

MS. SCORPIO: Marilyn Monroe is the perfect costume for a temptress Scorpion. Who else can perfect that sexy parting of the lips? Or a black leather kitty mask - all you need now is the whip!

MR. SCORPIO: The pimp - that's you, in control of all the girls. You want to know where they are, what they're doing and whom they're doing it with. Looking for a mask? Then try "Star Wars' " Darth Vader - in control of the galaxy.

SAGITTARIUS

MS. SAGITTARIUS: Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom: You probably already think you were her in a past life anyway, so here's a chance to play the role. For a mask, look for an African cat headdress.

MR. SAGITTARIUS: A priest. Get ready with your cross, garlic and wooden stake, as your job will be to exorcise all those naughty little devils (you'll be busy). Jedi master Yoda, the wise one, is perfect as a mask.

CAPRICORN

MS. CAPRICORN: A fallen angel. For the girl who's generally good, but likes to be bad! I don't want to reveal all your secrets, but this one is definitely for you. Try Hillary Rodham Clinton as a mask; you both like to talk business.

MR. CAPRICORN: An undertaker. All in black with a stylish top hat, but don't be surprised if not many people want to hang out with you. Or go Trekkie and try a Klingon mask.

AQUARIUS

MR. AQUARIUS: Austin Powers. Yeah, baby! It's weird, wonderful and wacky. Saving the world - that's you! Try an alien mask, one of those otherworldly, intellectually superior characters.

MS. AQUARIUS: Morticia, from "The Addams Family." As Aquarians don't aspire to be normal, Morticia with her weird life and family is exactly right for you. Look for glitz and sequins in a mask, anything that's different.

PISCES

MS. PISCES: I dream of Jeannie. Oh, master! Think of all the wishes that can be granted. It's literally a dream come true for Ms. Pisces. Or try a feather mask - soft and romantic, a trail of lovers will be following.

MR. PISCES: "Matrix's" Neo. You are out of this world, Mr. Pisces, so playing the part of Neo will come easily, especially the resurrection kiss! Or go for a Shrek mask; you're both softies inside.
