All 12 zodiac signs have their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and that includes on the intelligence front.
Aquarius
Coming in at No.
1, we have none other thanAquarius.
Turns out the quirkiest andrarest sign in the zodiacmight just be the most intelligent too!
And why shouldn’t they have high standards?
Further, notes astrologerMolly Pennington, Ph.D., Virgo’s attention to detail drives their whole personality.
“This is kind of their modus operandi, the way they operate,” she explains.
Think of Virgos like information catalogs or human encyclopedias, constantly gathering data with a critical eye.
And they can thank their planetary ruler, Mercury, for that!
Gemini
Along with Virgo, the other zodiac sign ruled by Mercury isGemini.
Plus, they’re open-minded and versatile enough to do just that.
They prioritize intellectual stimulation, with a ton of mental energy that never seems to rest.
Sagittarius
It wouldn’t be a list of the smartest zodiac signs without mention ofSagittarius.
This quality also relates to their ruling planet, Jupiter, the expansive and benevolent force of the cosmos.
Jupiter likes to see the big picture, always seeking wisdom, intuition, and cosmic law and order.
Think of it as the bird’s-eye view planet, and Sagittarius has a prime seat.
Scorpio
Up next we haveScorpio, the only water sign on the list.
This speaks to the goat aspect of their sea-goat symbol.
Goats are scrappy, and some of them are capable of climbing to great heights.
What about the other signs?
For instance, just because Aquarius is considered the “smartest” doesn’t mean they’re emotionally intelligent.
