As an avid magazine reader, my first instinct whenever I open one is to flip to the horoscope section. Although I never believed in astrology, it’s always fun to imagine your horoscope coming true. At some point this year, I started noticing a lot of zodiac- and astrology-related posts popping up on Tumblr, and I found it amusing to see which TV show character I was based on the fact I'm a Gemini. I eventually became so obsessed that I researched all of the signs, made a zodiac queens group text with my fellow astrology-loving friends and learned my moon and rising signs.
Based off of extensive research of the zodiac tag on Tumblr, here is my analysis of which OU bar relates to which zodiac sign:
Aries
Aries are competitive, and what’s more competitive than sports? Pigskin is one of the best places in town to catch a sports game and argue with your friends over whether the Indians or Reds will do better this year. Aries are also aggressive and energetic, meaning they can fight their way to the bar on crowded nights.
Taurus
Taurus are often seen as the chill sign, but they know how to get crazy on occasion. Lucky's is calm most nights of the week, except for Wednesday nights when they serve $5 liquor pitchers. The patient Taurus wouldn’t mind waiting in line and picking up pitchers for their crew. Taurus are also known for their love of food, and Lucky's late-night nachos will satisfy their cravings.
Gemini
Gemini are chatty, sociable and like to have fun. Crystal is often one of the most packed bars, and Gemini who get bored easily can bounce around among acquaintances from top bar to bottom bar. Gemini would also love standing on the upper level of J Bar, where they can look down below and scout out who they want to talk to next.
Cancer
Cancers tend to be emotional but are also good at nurturing others. Courtside tends to attract drama, and Cancers are either breaking down or comforting their friends who are breaking down.
Leo
Known as prideful and protective, alumni favorites Broney's and The C.I. fit Leo perfectly. The love that current students and alumni have for these bars prove that Bobcat pride lasts a lifetime.
Virgo
Virgo is one of the most reliable signs, and Red Brick is every freshman’s most reliable bar. Red Brick is the only bar that allows people 18 and over to enter. It continues to be reliable for upperclassmen as a cheap drink destination during their Brick Break happy hour.
Libra
Libra are easygoing and indecisive. Jackie O’s has a chill atmosphere where Libras can take their time deciding what to order. It's also one of Athens’ classier establishments, which fits Libra's image-obsessed side.
Scorpio
Often stereotyped as the resentful and jealous sign, a bar that serves “the destroyer” is perfect for a Scorpio. Scorpio are also known for being passionate and magnetic, and whether you are on the dance floor upstairs or in the cellar below, there are many places in Stephen's On Court for a Scorpio to put you under their spell.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius are friendly, fun and alternative. Tony's Tavern has an easygoing vibe, but their Hot Nut shot can easily liven you up!
Capricorn
After a day of hard work, the serious and responsible Capricorn would love the more sophisticated atmosphere of the Overhang. People rarely get trashed at the Overhang and are there to have good, measured fun in order to unwind.
Aquarius
Aquarius are adventurous, chaotic and rebellious. Whenever you enter Pawpurr's, it’s pretty likely you’ll see people dancing on the platform and having a good time. It’s also often packed and hard to get a drink, but once you get a few Blackout cocktails in you, it’s likely you’ll do just that.
Pisces
The Pisces symbol is a fish, so obviously the bar that serves an aquarium fits them best. The easygoing sign perfectly fits in with the Pub, which is laid-back but always fun. Pisces are also known for being imaginative and would appreciate the witty slogans that the Pub puts on the chalkboard by the door.
