In fact, according to Google Trend’s Freightgeist tool, the top three costumes in the U.S. in 2020 included a witch, a dinosaur, and Harley Quinn — while not entirely original, these are three solid costume ideas.
If you’re still undecided on who or what you’re going to dress up as, why not let astrology be your guide this Halloween? Believe it or not, your zodiac sign may help you decide on the perfect costume (via PureWow). Aries (born between March 21 and April 19), for example, are known for being courageous, determined, and a bit impatient (via Astrology Zodiac Signs). “Aries will be content with a quick makeup illusion or a statement piece that is easy to put on,” astrologer Guadalupe Terrones tells Reader’s Digest. “Aries rules the head, so likely most of their costume will be makeup, a headband, or something else they can wear and take off [easily].” With that in mind, here are three Aries-inspired Halloween costume ideas to consider.
A Siren costume is perfect for Aries

Sirens are powerful, dangerous, mystical, and cunning creatures that, according to Greek mythology, lured sailors to their deaths with their beautiful singing (via World History Encyclopedia). According to the World History Encyclopedia, sirens were half-woman, half-bird (see Google Arts and Culture). But, as time went on, many people began to depict sirens as femme fatale mermaid-like creatures instead.
In the “Book of Monsters,” sirens were described as having a human top half and scaly tails, lurking in the ocean (via Vice). Half-bird or half-fish, these mystical women share several Aries characteristics. They were monstrous sea-nymphs who bewitched sailors with song and occasionally competed with the muses (via Mythology.net). Whether you’re fond of the original siren or the siren-mermaid hybrid (which you can find in a number of fairytales and movies, including “Harry Potter”), both versions are easy to imitate. For the half-bird version, you could wear a bird-inspired masquerade mask from Etsy paired with a black dress and tights. Or, for the mermaid-esque version, you could slap on a few scaly temporary tattoos (also on Etsy) and follow a mermaid makeup tutorial on YouTube.
