As the end of October approaches, Halloween festivities are livening up campus at every turn. While trick-or-treating might not be high on many college kid to-do lists, candy is certainly still an integral part of spooky celebrations. If you’ve ever wondered what Halloween candy matches your zodiac sign, look no further. In the witchy spirit of the holiday, let astrology dictate your candy choices and find out if your favorite candy fits your personality.
Aries: Red Hots
Bold and intense, just like Aries. These cinnamon candies are fiery and adventurous, capturing Aries’ energetic spirit. The unpredictability of a spicy candy speaks to the nature of an Aries, who is definitely looking for excitement on Halloween.
Taurus: Snickers
Taurus loves indulgence and comfort, so Snickers, with its mix of chocolate, caramel and nuts, is the perfect luxurious treat. It’s a classic for a reason, which matches the mellowness of a Taurus perfectly.
Gemini: Twix
With dual personalities, Gemini gets two treats in one with Twix. The split between caramel and crunch mirrors a Gemini’s dynamic nature. A Gemini is also sure to get a kick out of the “Pick a Side” debate, making everyone around them weigh in on the superior side of the candy bar.
Cancer: Milky Way
Soft and comforting, Milky Way’s creamy caramel and nougat blend is a perfect match for the nurturing and sensitive Cancer.
Leo: Skittles
Bold, colorful and attention-grabbing, Skittles embody Leo’s lively and radiant personality. Ever fun and popular, Skittles never shy away from the spotlight, much like a Leo, especially when they have a costume to show off.
Virgo: 3 Musketeers
Simple yet satisfying, 3 Musketeers matches Virgo’s no-fuss, detail-oriented nature by giving them the best of a candy bar in one bite-sized square. A 3 Musketeers might not be the most obvious first choice candy, but a Virgo appreciates its consistency and knows that it is delicious no matter what.
Libra: KitKat
With its balanced layers and harmonious taste, a Kit Kat fits Libra’s love for symmetry, sharing and all aesthetically pleasing things.
Scorpio: Candy Corn
Scorpios have a reputation for being the mysterious sign, but at their core they are honest and loyal people. Candy Corn is perfect for this oft-misunderstood sign, as it is a dependable mainstay of Halloween festivities. Plus, what could be better for the sign Oct. 31 falls under than a universal symbol of Halloween?
Sagittarius: Sour Patch Kids
Fun and unpredictable, these candies start sour and end sweet, just like Sagittarius’s adventurous and spontaneous nature. A Sagittarius would be the first to step away from traditional Halloween chocolates to explore something more exciting.
Capricorn: Smarties
Capricorns are quite literally the “smarties” of the zodiac chart. They’re intelligent, no-nonsense people who definitely appreciate the fun and organization of this little sleeve of candies.
Aquarius: Nerds
Quirky and unique, Aquarius matches with Nerds because of their unconventional shape, variety and bold flavors. As far as candy goes, Nerds are a novelty, and Aquarius is the same on the zodiac chart.
Pisces: Swedish Fish
Swedish Fish are a perfect fit for the imaginative and emotional Pisces, with their soft texture and sweet flavor. They are a rather whimsical candy, perfect for a Pisces with their head in the clouds. Plus, what water sign can resist a fish-shaped candy?
