Cephaloscopes!
Libra (9/23 - 10/22)
Euprymna berryi
Social, attuned, and damn cute, you, beloved Scales, are the sweet lil Hummingbird Bobtail Squid. That dark and electric glow appeals across the board with your charm, grace, and a light that draws those around you in, even if it’s just to fawn over you.
Scorpio (10/23 - 11/21)
Opisthoteuthis sp.
Enigmatic, resilient, and outrageously cute once beheld, sly Scorpion, you are the Flapjack Octopus. While we may know little about what you’re up to, we know you’re thinkin’ deep thoughts and making merry mischief down there. When we dub you “pancake devilfish,” you know it’s outta love.
Sagittarius (11/22 - 12/21)
Galiteuthis phyllura
With a clarity of purpose and a reflective transparency to inspire us all, my eye-on-the-prize Archer, you are the lovely Cockatoo Squid. Also known as Glass Squid, don’t let the name imply fragility; you have plenty to teach us about honesty, ambition, and the merit of an open mind.
Capricorn (12/22 - 1/19)
Argonauta argo
A leader and pioneer down to the Latin name, my tenacious Sea Goat, the Greater Argonaut is your fella. Recognized for their gorgeous, distinctive eggcases, this octopus is esteemed for all the beauty it breeds in the world. It takes a village — or sometimes just a dedicated Cap.
Aquarius (1/20 - 2/18)
Allonautilus scrobiculatus
As you well know, Aquarius, a go-with-the-flow attitude and a stubborn streak is a timeless combination. The Fuzzy Nautilus “has inhabited the earth for 500 million years and has only been seen twice, until now.” If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. And if it is, make it look good.
Pisces (2/19 - 3/20)
Metasepia pfefferi
Artistic Pisces, my fishy friend, the Flamboyant Cuttlefish is your eye-catching, jaw-dropping, show-stopping cephalopod counterpart. I mean, take a gander and tell me: who else could pull off those ruffles? Her mind.
Aries (3/21 - 4/19)
Spirula spirula
Also known as the Ram’s Horn Squid, you, rambunctious Ram, are the flashy little Tail Light Squid! Even when sequestered in the deep, you leave your own exquisite little traces far and wide. Now that’s a presence.
Taurus (4/20 - 5/20)
Sepioloidea lineolata
Cozy in name and practice, you, inviting Taurus, are snug as a Striped Pyjama Squid in a rug. And a stubborn snuggler you are! With that camouflage, you can fit in with all stripes as you see fit. Mess with the bull, get the horns — or in your case, the venom. And to think, still so cuddly!
Gemini (5/21 - 6/20)
Enteroctopus dofleini
Versatile, inquisitive, and spotted from a mile away, the Giant Pacific Octopus is your guy, my commanding Gemini. It’s no accident you’re a fan favorite — clever enough to steal hearts and minds along with the tasty morsels you absolutely deserve.
Cancer (6/21 - 7/22)
Sepia apama
My crabby companion, the Giant Cuttlefish is you and you alone, with all the soul and sentiment you’d expect from these sunny seabed-dwellers. Generous but protective of the little corners you call home, you know how to make a flashy spectacle of roaming through its colors.
Leo (7/23 - 8/22)
Hapalochlaena lunulata
Beautiful, changeable, and toxic as SHIT when you want to be — the Blue Ringed Octopus has gotcha to a T, you bold little Lion, you! While the glow clearly comes to you naturally, not everyone realizes that a lot of work goes into that glimmer. It’s not easy being blue.
Virgo (8/23 - 9/22)
Nautilus pompilius
If there’s one thing you know, attentive Virgo, the devil is in the details, and as an Emperor Nautilus you have many to be admired (and no shortage of admirers to go along with ‘em). When unsure where to start, we turn to you: who can argue with a classic?
