1. Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Wear: A rust-red bomber jacket, black cargo pants and boots built for sprinting away from any stranger in a mask.
Cook: A pot of chili with the heat cranked up, served in a bowl roughly the size of a hubcap.
Watch: "Halloween" is the slasher where a masked stalker strolls behind teenagers who each had a head start and wasted it. You would have been three towns over before the opening credits finished.
2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Wear: A chunky oatmeal cable-knit sweater, cocoa corduroys and fleece-lined suede boots that make every sidewalk feel like a carpeted hallway.
Cook: Apple cider donuts fried at home and rolled in cinnamon sugar until the kitchen smells like a county fair.
Watch: "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" gives you a Great Hall Halloween feast with floating pumpkins and a troll as the uninvited guest. You’ll be too busy eyeing the pudding to panic about the troll.

4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cook: A pot of butternut squash soup with a grilled cheese on the side, dunked and devoured under the porch light.
Watch: "The Haunting of Hill House" splits between one bad summer in a haunted house and five siblings decades later, still wrecked by it. You'll take somebody's side by episode two and defend it to the end.

5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Wear: A burgundy velvet blazer, a gold statement necklace and heeled boots that land loud enough on hardwood people look up before you're in the room.
Cook: Mini roasted pumpkins stuffed with rice, sausage and cranberries, carried to the table like a parade float.
Watch: "Hocus Pocus" has three witches back from the dead, and one of them stops everything to sing to a packed room. You'd have done the same thing and taken an encore.

Cook: Baked brie wrapped in puff pastry with maple and roasted pecans, served on a board you rearranged four times.
Watch: "The Addams Family" is a gothic mansion, a devoted couple and a house that runs on perfect taste and terrible manners. You'd redecorate one room and move in.

Wear:
Head-to-toe black, a leather jacket broken in over years and a deep plum lip you've worn since high school and never once switched.
Cook: Dark chocolate lava cakes timed to the second, because you watched someone overbake them once and you can't let it go.
Watch: "The Craft" is a '90s coven of four teens with spellbooks and grudges, proof that you were rocking the eyeliner and the mystery long before either was a trend.

10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Cook: A beef bourguignon started early on Sunday, because a good plan and a Dutch oven have never let you down.
Watch: "Sleepy Hollow" sends a by-the-book investigator into a superstitious town with a notebook and a method nobody there respects. You'd have filed the same report.

Cook: Black sesame ice cream, because you read about it once and have been working it into things ever since.
