Do you associate every inanimate thing with a sign in the zodiac like I do? It’s okay, that’s normal (I think). Ever since I was a teenager, I have been fixated on astrology. My mom is a psychic and hypnotist, so astrology was the only logical choice for me to follow in her footsteps. With that there is no better person to analyze your birth chart, or for now, just tell you what UVic building you are. So keep reading to find out whether you’re complicated like Cornett or intimidating like CARSA.
Aries (March 21–April 19)
Aries is the first sign in the Zodiac, which is fitting as they love to be number one. This fiery sign is bold, ambitious, passionate, and they tend to make confident leaders. Because of this, Aries is the Business and Economics Building. These upbeat rams tend to be social animals, which will come in handy at those famous business “networking” parties.
Taurus (April 20–May 20)
This earth sign is ruled by Venus, and as such, Tauruses are known for being the most sensual sign in the zodiac. They tend to find themselves in soothing environments, but as a grounded earth sign, they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty. Being an earth sign, this bull can feel the most at home outdoors and knows how to get shit done, making them the Bob Wright Centre.
Gemini (May 21–June 20)
One of the most underrated signs in the zodiac, these air signs are both playful and curious, but known to be two-faced. Geminis are symbolized by the celestial twins meaning they’re simultaneously interested in many different topics, hobbies, careers, and even friend groups. Which may be the reason why they have a dubious reputation. Geminis are playful and intellectual, and because of their many interests, they align best with the MacLaurin Building. Housing both the Faculty of Education and the School of Music, this building is also juggling multiple interests, just like these twins.
Cancer (June 21–July 22)
These sensitive water signs are known for their maternal sides, making them more domestic than the other signs. This makes them the Sedgewick Building. Tucked away in the trees, this building is home to the Equity and Human Rights department and Occupation Health, Safety and Environment. Cancers love to create safe, personal sanctuaries, and tend to adopt a more caregiving role, which is why this cozy building is perfect for Cancer.
Leo (July 23–Aug. 22)
It’s no surprise that the theatrical, fiery, Leo is Phoenix Theatre. Ruled by the sun, Leos naturally require their time in the limelight. Known for being the most dramatic sign in the zodiac, Leos thrive when the attention is on them, making the home of the UVic’s theatre department a no-brainer for this sign.
Virgo (Aug. 23–Sept. 22)
This logical, practical, perfectionist earth sign is known for their attention to detail, which makes them the David Turpin Building. Being both an earth sign and meticulous, Virgos are intellectual problem solvers. Being ruled by the goddess of wheat and agriculture, this perfectionist sign is like a jack of all trades, making the building that contains the environmental studies, geography, math, and political science departments a nice host for this sign.
Libra (Sept. 23–Oct. 22)
Represented by the scales, this air sign has a desire for justice. Libras are known for considering all perspectives, and tend to fixate on balance and harmony. This air sign tries to make sure that all areas of their life are symmetrical and they love equilibrium. With this, Libras are the home of the law students — aka the Fraser Building. This venus ruled sign, are smooth talkers and charismatic, but be careful as these signs tend to be a little indecisive.
Scorpio (Oct. 23–Nov. 21)
Like Cancers, Scorpios are a water sign that are deeply intuitive and emotional. Unlike the other water signs, Scorpios have a reputation of being mysterious. It can almost feel like you will never fully understand them, like the Cornett Building. Even though this water sign can be mysterious, they’re very empathetic which makes the home of the psychology department the right fit for this sign.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22– Dec. 21)
The last of the fire signs, Sagittarius, is the adventurer of the zodiac. Represented by the archer, Sagittariuses are always on the fly like the arrow shot from a bow. Since they’re always on the move, they align best with the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities (CARSA). With everything from the climbing centre, spin classes, yoga, and the fitness area, CARSA can keep the curious Sagittarius occupied before their next adventure.
Capricorn (Dec. 22–Jan. 19)
Just like their fellow earth signs, Capricorns are down to earth, practical, and hardworking. Being ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is associated with responsibilities and time and because of this, they’re very punctual and understand the importance of time management. With this in mind, Capricorn is the Engineering and Computer Science Building. Hardworking and very ambitious Capricorns work hard to be able to play hard. This sign understands that great things come with time, just like their careers.
Aquarius (Jan. 20–Feb. 18)
Aquarius is the last air sign of the zodiac.

This rebellious sign will be the first ones at protests fighting for your rights, passionate about making the world a better place.
Pisces (Feb. 19–March 20)
The last sign of the zodiac, this water sign is known for their creativity. Symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, this sign has a tendency to divide their attention between their fantasies and reality. As such, Pisces often make great artists, which is why they’re the Visual Arts Building. Seeing life with rose-coloured glasses, Pisces have big dreams like artists. This makes the arts building the perfect home for this sign.
