Astrology Tutorial: The Origin of Halloween from the Perspective of Astrology

October 31st of every year is the eve of Halloween in the West. It is said that its origin can be traced back to the fifth century BC, when the Celts living in Ireland designated this day as the end of summer, which also symbolized the end of the year. They believe that on the eve of the transition from the old to the new year, all the laws of time and space will temporarily stop, and the door to the spiritual world will open on this night, allowing all ghosts to take the opportunity to wander around the human world, looking for suitable substitutes and thus have the opportunity to be reborn. Therefore, in order to avoid becoming the target of ghosts, the Celts extinguished the fire in their homes that night and pretended that no one was at home. At the same time, they put on hideous masks, dressed up as ghosts and paraded through the streets, creating a noisy atmosphere to drive away those wandering ghosts.

The worship and celebration of Halloween comes from people's belief that there is a power in the dark that can manipulate the souls of the living and the dead and enable the souls of ancestors to be liberated and resurrected. The end of October is when the Sun enters Scorpio. Affected by the close phases of the Sun and Pluto (the Sun in Scorpio and Pluto in Sagittarius), the attraction and repulsion between the two (don't forget, the Sun represents the power of the world of the living, and Pluto represents the power of the underworld) will form a powerful and mysterious spiritual energy. This is the moment when anything strange and interesting can happen, and some of the weirdest ideas in people's minds can be revived. Pluto represents the deepest power of the mind and is also associated with death and resurrection, representing a powerful potential energy. Therefore, it may not be a bad thing to use Halloween to relax yourself, feel the warm autumn sunshine and the vitality brought by the sun, and relax yourself and vent.
