Halloween under the Pisces moon pulls thin the veil between worlds -- spirit and physical, regular-clothed and costumed, the workaday and the fun of Friday night. Candles flicker like eyes from the past. Footsteps echo, but no one's there. We're tugged by tides older than memory, haunted and treated, frightened and sweetened.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your best trick is showing up fearless, even when you're making it up as you go. Your best treat is the thrill of spontaneity. You'll be admired for your bravery. You dive in first and figure it out later.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your best trick is transforming the ordinary into luxury, adding comfort and beauty where none was expected. Your best treat is simple pleasures done well. Tonight, it's about good food, cozy vibes and affection so sweet it could rot a tooth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your best trick is how you change the game with a few well-chosen words -- quips that are clever, sly and funny. Your best treat is being the spark that makes everyone lean closer to hear more.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your best trick is conjuring safety wherever you go, creating a haven in chaos. Your best treat is the sweetness of being everyone's "home base," and tonight they'll gravitate toward you for grounding.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your best trick is how you can turn any room into your stage. Your best treat is the joy of basking in admiration, not because you demanded it, but because your warmth lights the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your best trick is noticing the details no one else sees. It will mean a lot to the ones who put a lot of care into their celebration of the night. Your best treat is the trust you inspire when people realize you'll catch what they miss.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your best trick is making the difficult look effortless, from outfits to logistics; you'll put your excellent taste to work. Your best treat is the harmony you leave behind, like fairy dust that lingers after you've gone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your best trick is seeing the truth hiding under every mask. Whether you reveal your knowledge -- that's up to you. Your best treat is intensity. Even fleeting connections become unforgettable as everything seems to bend to your magnetism.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your best trick is turning the rules into guidelines that keep games fun. To you, the restrictions are hallways -- just another way to move through the adventure. Your best treat is wide, bright, contagious laughter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your best trick is the way you employ leadership skills to conjure order from chaos. Your best treat is the dignity you radiate. It elevates all. Others bring the best version of themselves to your presence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your best trick is defying expectations, slipping out of every box they try to put you in. Your best treat is freedom. You feel it and live it. You grant it to others just by being yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your best trick is applying your limitless imagination to dreaming something into existence before anyone else believes it's possible. Your best treat is empathy; you know how to dissolve loneliness in an instant.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 31). Welcome to your Year of Marvelous Breakthroughs. What seems impossible becomes second nature in a matter of months. Work turns profitable after a strange experiment. You'll fall for someone's quirks and be delighted when they love yours, too. More highlights: An old habit breaks, replaced with something healing. A negotiation goes your way. Creative work draws applause and new fans. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 11, 33, 48 and 17.
