Your horoscope in Austin neighborhoods

One person is seated on the steps, while the other two are in green chairs. The relaxed and inviting atmosphere reflects a typical Austin neighborhood vibe.

One of the most loveable things about Austin is the distinct character found in each neighborhood, district, and corner of town. They all have their own personalities and purposes — some would say it was written in the stars.

Let’s take a look at how our neighborhoods align with the zodiac signs.

Virgo: Allandale | Aug. 23-Sept. 22

This earth sign has very practical and grounded qualities, making the Allandale neighborhood a suitable match. Centrally located yet serenely residential along Shoal Creek, Allandale is a great place to find street food and antique shops.

The Austin Motel and other signs on South Congress

Libras living in Travis Heights are just a short walk away from local fixtures like the Austin Motel.

Libra: Travis Heights | Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Travis Heights’ active, small-town vibe is just as balanced as a Libra. Neighboring South Congress Avenue, Travis Heights will soothe this sign’s indecisive nature by putting some of Austin’s best food, shopping, live music, and hospitality right at their doorstep.

Scorpio: North Loop | Oct. 23-Nov. 21

The aura of North Loop’s picturesque strip perfectly encapsulates this water sign. Mysteriously tucked away, this unassuming neighborhood is full of eclectic shops like Room Service Vintage, late-night eats like Tyson’s Tacos, and local favorites like Home Slice Pizza.

Sagittarius: Rainey Street Historic District | Nov. 22-Dec. 21

As an adventure seeker, a Sagittarius would be able to make a speedy getaway from Rainey Street — with the closest access to I-35 — without being far-removed. Besides proximity to one of the biggest nightlife districts in the city, Rainey also offers access to the river and major thoroughfare Cesar Chavez Street.

Capricorn: East Cesar Chavez | Dec. 22-Jan. 19

With how diligent Capricorn is, they’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of spots in East Cesar Chavez to network and work remotely. From Texas Coffee Traders Cafe to Flat Track Coffee to Cosmic Saltillo, there are plenty of places to post up.

    ✨ Stream of imagination

    Your first look at Creek Show 2024

    Creek Show returns to Waller Creek Friday, Nov. 8-Saturday, Nov. 16 — and this year’s exhibition celebrates a decade of the immersive art experience.

    Tickets go on sale Thursday, Sept. 19, and all proceeds benefit Waterloo Greenway, which is currently under construction for its second phase — The Confluence.

    Here’s a preview of this year’s masterpieces.

    “The Ghost Boat: Through the Looking Glass”

    This work of art is inspired by a fantasy story — the lore involves an imaginary Austin local who vanishes in “the beauty of the creek” and was never seen again.

    “Night Watch”

    Someone’s watching... It’s not an optical illusion, the floating eyes actually scan their surroundings and can even stare.

    “Waller Creek High, A School for Extraordinary Fish”

    These fish out of water will be made with recycled materials, and touching certain fish will cause the entire school to react by pulsing with color.
