Your horoscope in Chattanooga neighborhoods

One of the most lovable things about Chattanooga 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.

Capricorn: Southside | Dec. 22-Jan. 19

With how hardworking Capricorns are, they’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of spots in Southside to work remotely, network, and take a break — set up shop at Common House or Niedlov’s, take a walk along Market Street, or pop into the many restaurants along West + East Main Street.

Aquarius: North Chattanooga | Jan. 20-Feb. 18

The unique businesses of this quaint neighborhood embody the eclectic nature of an Aquarius. Try out the drinks at The Rosecomb while reading a book from The Book & Cover, or even walk over to the Queen’s Kitchen and Market to pick up supplies for dinner.

Welcome home, Aquarius.

Pisces: Bluff View Art District | Feb. 19-March 20

Where else would we find this creative, artsy water sign other than the neighborhood with an art museum + gardens that provide a quiet place to sit? The historic Bluff View Arts District provides the perfect escapist moment for a Pisces to relax.

Is there a Chattanooga neighborhood that pairs perfectly with one of the zodiacs missing from our list? Tell us about it — bonus points if you can explain why.
