Spooky season is upon us. Crisp air, falling leaves, pumpkin patches, creepy costumes— not to mention the tingle in the air that reminds us the veils between worlds are just that bit thinner at this time of year. October calls us to play, to explore, to tiptoe into the “what if?” of another realm. It’s the perfect time to honour change, creativity, mystery… and yes, if you’re so inclined and able, experiment with psychedelics.

This contemplative season reminds us: When using magic mushrooms, you must set your intention, choose your setting, know your dose, and respect the process. Whether you’re entering lower-intensity experiences (microdosing) or higher doses, there’s a sense of allowing something subtle and unseen to whisper into your consciousness. The permissions that come with Halloween — costumes, transformation, a bit of spooky fun — can support your exploration. In many ways, psychedelic exploration aligns with the playful, mysterious spirit of the moment.

So to ease you in, we’ve consulted with the shrooms and the stars to provide you with your Halloween Horoscope for 2025 — including personalised trippy tips for each sign.

Aries

You always the one leading the charge on Halloween, Aries. But this year you might feel especially motivated to pull others into the fun too. Dressing up? Consider a group or couples costume so your contagious enthusiasm becomes collective joy. Start planning early — those big ideas deserve your full sparkly creativity. Meanwhile, as October progresses, you might notice your powers of perception start to sharpen. Set an intention to gain more self-understanding during this reflective period.

Psychedelic advice for Aries: With your fearless energy, you might be tempted to leap into something “big.” Instead, but you could also consider a microdose or low-dose experience that supports deeper awareness without full trip intensity. Use a soundtrack of ambient, spooky autumn vibes and ask yourself: “What shadow parts of me am I ready to bring into light?” Your costume is the metaphor… your inner transformation is real.

Taurus

Getting that fall frisson, eh Taurus? Channel that enthusiasm into throwing a Halloween party to end them all. Plan every detail — your favourite people, the themed décor, the playlists — for double trouble you could host with a friend. As the month goes on, you’ll likely feel more magnetic and grounded, ready to command attention with ease. Choose a costume this year that embodies your earthy glamour and charisma.

Psychedelic advice for Taurus: You appreciate tangible, sensual experiences — textures, tastes, ambiance. If you’re exploring psychedelics, pair your session with a grounding ritual: warm herbal tea, autumn scent (think cinnamon or clove), soft lighting. Ask: “How can I embody my strength and softness together?” Let your experience support both pleasure and presence.

Gemini

What’s brewing in the cauldron of your mind, Gemini? This Halloween season is brilliant for playing with the wellness practices or unconventional new ideas you’ve been dreaming up. Trying something new could build courage and shift happiness; you might adopt a powerful habit or break free of a rut. Then, when All Hallows’ Eve arrives, maybe choose a quieter night — just your closest people, cosy at home — building new traditions together.

Psychedelic advice for Gemini: Use your natural curiosity to explore a microdose session with journaling and reflection afterwards. Bring a pad and pen. Ask: “What new pattern am I curious about?” Keep it small, keep it safe. The goal: subtle shift, not full disruption. Bonus: figure out what small innovation you’ll carry into the quieter, post-party nights of autumn.

Cancer

You are always the one we rely on to conjure up a magical atmosphere, Cancer. This season you’ll be keen to keep busy: crafting, trying new recipes, leaning into your creative spark. If single, the season invites new love connections — release expectations and just show up in the moment. If in a relationship, it’s time to let go of grudges, heal old wounds, rediscover your connection.

Psychedelic advice for Cancer: Your heart is open now — so if you want to explore psychedelics, lean into the intention of emotional healing. A medium dose with trusted friend or partner, cozy blankets, soft lighting, and maybe a gentle guided meditation could support you. Ask: “What part of myself am I ready to meet with kindness?” After your session, do something tactile: baking a spooky treat, painting a pumpkin, writing a letter to yourself.

Leo

Even you need a break from the spotlight sometimes, Leo! This month could be your chance to slow down, reconnect with loved ones, and let others shine. Support your nearest and dearest with joy — why not throw a Halloween gathering for all your favourite folks. Whether it’s a big bash or cosy movie night, dive into planning themed snacks, playlists, decorations. If you’re handing out candy, turn it into the destination doorway for trick-treaters.

Psychedelic advice for Leo: You’re usually in the limelight, but this is your chance to surrender to something larger. If you embark on a psychedelic experience, frame it as “letting the light in” rather than “showing off”. Choose a dose that’s comfortable, set up soft ambient space, think about your inner self, rather than your outer facade. Ask: “What part of me thrives when I share and support rather than lead?”

Virgo

You’re someone who wears a lots of hats Virgo, and yet, you haven’t even picked your Halloween costume! Organisation will be key to making your October thrive. But also stay alert for burnout — guard against overcommitting. People will come to you for costume tips, decor ideas, party advice. Be generous, but resist stepping in and taking over. Handing out candy could actually be your sweetest role this year.

Psychedelic advice for Virgo: Your mind is excellent at details; but if you undertake a psychedelic trip use the opportunity to observe rather than analyse. Set an intention: “I allow myself to just be.” Create a small checklist: mood check, set intention, safe environment, aftercare plan. After your session, engage in something light, playful — watching a movie, listening to spooky ambient music. Your precision can become a gateway to gentler self-care.

Libra

You’re centre stage right now, Libra. The sun moved through your sign early in October, so right now, everything you do has an effortless charm. Use this to shine. You might find your confidence boosted and your ability to ask for what you want elevated. Soon, you’ll feel drawn to pour your creativity into your most loved Halloween traditions — gather with friends to elevate your experience.

Psychedelic advice for Libra: Balance is your superpower. If you explore psychedelics, create symmetry —light and dark, familiar and mysterious. Maybe pair a low dose with a partner or friend, and share reflections. Ask: “How can I express my truth while staying grounded?” After your session, reflect on any deeper shifts you feel.

Scorpio

Embrace your otherworldly self, Scorpio. This season you may feel detached from the day-to-day, preferring quiet transformation behind the scenes. Use this hibernation to shield your tender heart from energy vampires. Then, as the big night nears, you might get excited about decorating your space — make it bewitching yet inviting for neighbours and friends.

Psychedelic advice for Scorpio: You’re comfortable with deep waters. If you choose to do a psychedelic session, use the intention: “Transformation, not disturbance.” Choose a safe, comfortable space where you can explore inner depths and return gently. After the session, perhaps spend time alone, reflecting, journaling your “underworld” insights. The, breath deeply, light a candle, and shift back into the world.

Sagittarius

Swimming into your subconscious, Sagittarius? Over the next weeks you may feel more contemplative than usual, drawn inward — great for conjuring eerie stories, but perhaps less ideal for heavy socialising. Reconnect with others anyway. Listen closely rather than focusing on your own narratives. And as Halloween approaches, you may get pulled into party planning — be open, be generous but don’t get lost in logistics.

Psychedelic advice for Sagittarius: Use your explorer energy to guide a low-dose experience with intention: “What hidden landscape of my psyche do I want to visit?” Pair it with a nature walk, quiet journal time, or a soothing sound-bath of wind and rustling leaves from outside your window. After your exploration, savour the return.

Capricorn

You’re always ahead of the game, Capricorn — it’s likely your costume and agenda are already mapped out. That’s great — but just leave a little room for surprise this year. Sometimes it helps to go with the flow when unexpected changes arise. Let your friends take the reins sometimes. Let yourself be part of the magic, rather than orchestrator of it. Use this season to relieve stress and reconnect with your joy.

Psychedelic advice for Capricorn: Your drive and discipline are strong — yet for this session, you’re invited to loosen the grip. Set an intention: “I embrace spontaneity.” A micro/low dose in a safe setting with flexible plans (maybe a night walk, stargazing, autumn playlist) could help you embrace going with the flow. After your session, treat yourself to something simple and grounding — hot cocoa, a warm bath, stretching under the stars.

Aquarius

Have the winds changed course, Aquarius? This October may bring schedule changes that free up more time for fun. Your enthusiasm for novelty might skyrocket, inspiring you to upend your usual Halloween traditions: an out-of-the-box costume, wild decorating ideas, unexpected gatherings. Trust your unique vision — this is your season to stand out.

Psychedelic advice for Aquarius: Your innovative spirit loves new territory. If you decide on a gentle psychedelic dive, treat it like experimental art: set up a soundscape, unusual lighting, maybe a creative medium (drawing, sculpting, movement) at hand. Ask: “What happens when I allow myself to shift?” Let the experience fuel your next creative leap. Afterward, share your creation, your insights, your vision with someone open. Let the ripple continue.

Pisces

Dreaming of Halloweens past? You’re so nostalgic, Pisces! Let the holiday’s rich history guide you: favourite movies, memories, spooky characters — embrace them. Collaborate with people who spark your imagination and sense of mystery. Meanwhile, you might also receive some heightened insight into what really makes you tick this month. Use it. Show off your unique magic without fear of judgment.

Psychedelic advice for Pisces: You’re a natural navigator of liminal space — perfect for Halloween and for gentle inner exploration. A low/medium session with intention: “How can I bring enchantment to my everyday life?” could be rich ground for you. Set a dreamy space: candles, gentle ambient sound, seasonal imagery. Afterwards, plan something reflective and whimsical. Perhaps you could make art from your experience, share stories, or simply get cosy under blankets in quiet gratitude.

Closing: Set the Tone for a Spooky but Safe Psychedelic Halloween

As we glide into the heart of spooky season, let’s remember: the fun, the costumes, the inky black sky —they’re all part of the transformational magic. If you choose to explore psychedelics (microdosed or more), do so with intention, respect and safety.

  • Choose a safe environment.
  • Have a trusted person around (or aware of your plans).
  • Know your dose.
  • Set your intention.
  • Don’t mix with heavy alcohol or chaotic environments.
  • After: integrate what you experienced. Journal, talk, create.

Whether you’re carving pumpkins, hosting ghost stories, donning a spectacular costume—or simply observing the flicker of candlelight in the crisp night — let this Halloween support your curiosity, your joy and your transformation. The veils are thin. The world is whispering. Perhaps the season invites a little extra magic.

Here’s to a spooky, safe, and heart-opening Halloween for all. 🎃
