The Most Intelligent Zodiac Signs Ranked, According to Astrologers

When it comes to wit, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Astrologers rank the natural intelligence of star signs from the most to least likely to be exceptionally smart. However, keep in mind that every sign is capable of incredible feats. For example, while some zodiacs are emotionally intelligent, others may find their skills shine brightest in logistics.

The Most to Least Witty, Smart Zodiac Signs

Read on for your star or Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. For expert astrology fans, your Mercury placement may be especially telling.

Gemini

Ruled by Mercury, Gemini has big jack-of-all-trades energy. This Air sign is intellectually motivated, inspired by curiosity. With their appetite to gain information, learn skills, and try various life experiences, this star sign shines bright in cerebral activities.

Virgo

Virgo is next, co-ruled by the planet of intellect, like Gemini. With wise Mercurial energy, this Earth sign has an innate ability to find structure, reasoning, and organization in life. Although their active mind can sometimes drain them, it drives them intellectually to be witty, intentional, and mindful of details others overlook.

Aquarius

Prioritizing a detached, bird's eye view of life, Aquarius can see circumstances objectively. While this can cause complications in emotional aspects of life, such as relationships, their ability to look at the big picture allows this zodiac to stay in touch with larger-than-life truths and insights.

Their ability to think with the end in mind helps them achieve their goals. Committed and ambitious, their wits are found through hyperfocus on their intended outcome.

Aries

Aries acts before they can think. While that can sometimes get them into trouble, it often keeps them unapologetically in tune with their instinctual side, virtually immune to social pressures to conform. Their ability to strike while the iron is hot makes them great in competitive circumstances, such as entrepreneurship and leadership tasks.

Taurus

Being consistent brings joy to Taurus. They like consistency and predictability, often leading to their long-term goals coming true over time. They rarely give up. However, this can be a challenge in intellectual decision-making at times! If change is involved, they may turn a blind eye, refusing to look at the issue before it causes significant loss.

Cancer

Cancer is skilled at emotionally intelligent tasks and following their heart. While they are naturally wise in many areas, their ability to extend compassion to others unwilling to receive their help can be a significant deterrent in their life. When they learn to set boundaries and balance subjectivity with objectivity, they find their greatest cerebral assets shine bright.

Pisces

Ruled by dreamy Neptune, Pisces prefers to exist in their artistic, emotional, or imaginary world. Their soulful nature leads them to be exceptional healers. However, they often ditch logistics and pursue whatever their heart longs for. Taming this desire to put on rose-colored glasses can help them hone their skills. However, they tend to be creatively talented.
