It really doesn’t really feel like Halloween till I watch the Pumpkin King attempt to takeover Christmas, which is why it’s time to speak concerning the zodiac signal that matches every character from The Nightmare Earlier than Christmas. I thank Tim Burton on a regular basis for creating this candy and spooky universe that by no means will get outdated.
This groundbreaking stop-motion movie was a revel when it was launched in 1993 and it was even nominated for the Academy Award for Greatest Visible Results. And though it didn’t win, the truth that it continues to be rewatched yearly is a testomony to its endurance. Plus, as somebody who was born and raised in Southern California, spooky season at all times coincides with the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland being decked out in Halloween City decorations. It at all times lures you into paying for a ticket simply to witness its Skellington aptitude in individual.
Not solely is that this one of many biggest Halloween motion pictures of all time, it additionally doubles as a Christmas film! And to be fairly sincere, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of one other film that succeeds at a vacation crossover in addition to The Nightmare Earlier than Christmas. If that’s not a purpose to maintain marathoning this film for the following few months, I don’t know what’s! With out additional ado, right here’s The Nightmare Earlier than Christmas character that matches every zodiac signal:
Zodiac Indicators as Nightmare Earlier than Christmas Characters

Essentially the most lovable and ghoulish member of Halloween City’s trio of trick or treaters must be an Aries. Whereas Lock & Shock are consistently bickering and preventing for management, Barrel is simply right here to have a very good time! With a face that’s at all times plastered with a creepy ear-to-ear smile, Barrel may look candy and harmless, however he’s really a gremlin at coronary heart. In any case, Aries is the child of the zodiac. He’s the primary one to slingshot little rocks on the Mayor and he’s childishly mischievous, identical to an Aries. Ensure he’s not crossing his fingers whereas making a promise!

Stunned that steady and delightful Taurus will also be the Oogie Boogie man? You shouldn’t be! The shadow aspect of Taurus is all about greed and gluttony, which this inexperienced bag of bugs captures to a T. He’s additionally a planner, as he was setting the stage to defeat Jack and usurp his throne from the very starting. Taurus is aware of how one can play the lengthy recreation! In reality, they love making a raffle when there’s an enormous pay day concerned, and Oogie Boogie loves rolling the die and seeing the place it lands. His entire presence reminds you of a Las Vegas slot machine, which is so Taurus of him. Plus, if Jack is a Scorpio, it might solely make sense that his nemesis can be his reverse signal—a Taurus!

Everybody is aware of that Geminis are well-known for being intelligent and “two-faced”, and the Mayor of Halloween City takes that sentiment actually. His facial features is continually switching between over-the-top pleasure and brooding despair, generally with solely a second’s discover! You by no means know which aspect of a Gemini’s twin persona you’re gonna get. And like some other Gemini who desperately must take a chill tablet, the Mayor’s emotional ups and downs information the way in which he governs the native politics of Halloween City.
![Nightmare Before Christmas Sally Nightmare Before Christmas Sally](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Sally-Nightmare-Before-Xmas-Featured.jpeg?w=670)

Sally is the guts and soul of all the film, as her compassionate empathy is the one factor that retains Jack Skellington—her Scorpio Pumpkin King—grounded. She’s the one character within the film who’s actually in contact with their feelings (and she or he’s technically a rag doll). What Most cancers hasn’t pined over somebody who has their heads within the clouds? What Most cancers hasn’t sung a tragic tune about loving somebody who doesn’t know you’re keen on them? Let’s not overlook that Cancers are additionally cardinal indicators and dominated by the hard-shelled crab, which explains why Sally is continually subverting her creator (the demanding Dr. Finkelstein) and scurrying away on the first signal of freedom.

Shock is a younger trick or treater who’s dressed as a witch and at all times able to do some black magic! She’s in all probability the bossiest of the trio, which speaks to her Leo superiority. She’s bickering with the demonic Lock—her Aquarius reverse—and attempting to achieve management over the group. She is aware of she would do a greater job, as a result of she actually says “I want my cohorts weren’t so dumb” at one level. Her sassy presence screams Leo, as a result of whereas she is likely to be a bit of woman, she doesn’t seem like somebody you wanna mess with!

Dr. Finkelstein could also be demanding, grouchy and surly, however he certain is a genius. He actually turned Sally from a dull rag doll right into a dwelling being, which speaks to his standing as a mad scientist. And of all of the indicators within the zodiac, nobody provides off “mad scientist” vibes greater than a Virgo. An homage to the time-honored character of Frankenstein, he’s impressed by the concept of making his personal supreme creature. In any case, each Virgo loves having a “undertaking”! He’s additionally extremely observant, as he may immediately odor the “frogs breath” that Sally had put in his soup to masks the sleeping support.

Libra season takes place throughout October, the witchiest month of all of them. These witches are sometimes the loudest Halloween City residents, which is sensible, as Libras are very captivated with diplomacy. This pair of mystical characters are at all times displaying as much as city corridor conferences and making a fuss about one thing. Nevertheless, they’re additionally well-known for his or her potions and alchemy, as Jack Skellington depends on the Huge Witch to show his Pumpkin King costume right into a flaming star. Let’s not overlook that Libra is dominated by Venus, planet of trend and wonder, which is why they’re usually recognized for being designers!

How may the Pumpkin King *not* be a Scorpio? In Halloween City, it’s Scorpio season all yr spherical! Moreover the plain incontrovertible fact that the spookiest vacation of all is inherently related to this darkish and mysterious zodiac signal, let’s discuss why Jack’s persona could be very Scorpio by itself. Obsessive about attaining groundbreaking success, Jack’s identification disaster prompts him to actually turn out to be Santa Clause. Being the zodiac signal of transformation, each Scorpio is acquainted with this means of rebranding. Nevertheless, let’s not overlook Scorpios are additionally mounted indicators, which suggests they at all times retain the core of who they’re. Therefore, Jack’s Santa Clause wound up being an ill-fated Sandy Claws and he returned to what he is aware of greatest—being the ruler of darkness!
![Nightmare Before Christmas Clown Nightmare Before Christmas Clown](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/CLIO_large.jpeg?w=360)

As a result of Sagittarius is dominated by blissful and larger-than-life Jupiter, it solely is sensible that the unicycle driving clown can be a Sagittarius. And whereas this clown could seem jolly, his “tear-away face” makes it clear that there’s one thing sinister about him. If Sagittarius have been a monster, they might completely be a clown, as their fixed over-the-top “positivity” can finally come throughout as demented if its approaching too sturdy. What shoves “pleasure” and “happiness” into your face more durable than a freaking clown? All I’m saying is there’s a purpose why coulrophobia exists!
![Nightmare Before Christmas Santa Nightmare Before Christmas Santa](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Santa.webp?w=670)

It’s at all times Capricorn season when Christmas takes place, which makes “Sandy Claws” an apparent selection for the zodiac signal of custom and endurance! And whereas Sandy could also be portrayed as a non-scary character, let’s discuss how his Capricorn qualities could make him fairly formidable. Judging each child by labeling them as both “good” or “naughty”? Making a bunch of elves do all of the work when you solely work someday out of all the yr? Appears like some Capricorn nonsense to me! Nevertheless, Capricorns at all times get the job carried out proper, which is why Jack simply couldn’t measure as much as the vacation requirements.
![Nightmare Before Christmas Lock Nightmare Before Christmas Lock](https://stylecaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/4506022d4616a0b21cfbfd77fc6b1fe7.jpeg?w=670)

The devilish aspect grin on Lock’s face at all times jogs my memory of an Aquarius. This quirky and eccentric zodiac signal at all times has an evil masterplan! They love showing “edgy”, which makes Lock’s costume selection all of the extra acceptable for this provocative zodiac signal. And whereas Lock could enable Shock to assume she’s the chief, he is aware of he’s the one pulling all of the strings and setting all of the traits. Aquarius like to be in cost, and despite the fact that they usually take over management, they’d a lot relatively persuade you that it was your thought to elect them as chief first.

Pisces *is* the spirit realm. Zero is each non-corporeal and endlessly devoted to his bestie, Jack, which is so Pisces of him. He’s with Jack actually on a regular basis, as a result of he’s a ghost and he may be! In astrology, Pisces is related to unconditional love and “oneness with the universe” which not solely explains his fixed presence at Jack’s aspect, however his skill to drift by means of realms. His cascading kind and glowing crimson nostril are each an lovable contact, because the Pisces aesthetic is known for being mystical, free-flowing and hypnotic.
