Librascan be as over-the-top and scandalous asThe Rocky Horror Picture Show. Mesa shares that the film actually debuted during Libra season in 1975 whenPlutowas in the Air sign.

“Pluto in Libra brought sexuality to the forefront, pushing boundaries and redefining norms, which is reflected inRocky Horror’s unapologetic celebration of sexual freedom, fluidity and self-expression,” Mesa notes.

Scorpio:Halloween

Halloweenis the ultimate classic thriller forScorpiossince it’s all about “lurking in the shadows and creeping up when you least expect it.” Mesa adds that the film “takes place during Scorpio season, and Michael Myers embodies thisFixed sign’s tenacity, because he’s basically unstoppable.”

Sagittarius:Beetlejuice

Don’t say his name three times,Sagittarius! “Everything fromBeetlejuice’sadventures and outrageous humor resembles Sagittarius' planetary ruler,Jupiter.” Mesa says. “The film’s eccentricity and chaotic spirit is larger than life and reflects this Fire sign’s love for freedom.”

Capricorn:The Addams Family

The Addams Familyfocuses on tradition and legacy, just likeCapricorns. “The deadpan humor and gothic aesthetic is also very Saturnian in its coldness and hysterical apathy,” Mesa says.

Aquarius:The Nightmare Before Christmas

Girls and boys of every age, wouldn’t you like to see something strange? TheTim BurtonclassicThe Nightmare Before Christmasis the perfect movie for innovative and quirkyAquariusplacements. Mesa explains that “this movie screams Uranus (Aquarius' celestial ruler) with its genre-bending mix of Halloween and Christmas. Jack’s eternal longing for progress is classic Aquarius.”

Pisces:Casper

Plus, “the only thing more delusional than falling in love with a ghost is living in a house with one.”
