When we think about intelligence, it's often associated with things like a studious nature, excelling in subjects such as math and science, or being able to think perfectly logically at all times.

Aquarius is influenced by the forward-thinking energy of Uranus, meaning those born under this sign always have their finger on the pulse, along with an open mind.
They're known for their unique, albeit unconventional ideas and their ability to pick apart the layers behind any thought or suggestion.
They have a resolute stance on their life objectives, keeping a clear sight of their goals. Aquarius embraces progress and is always moving forward.
They hate to dwell too hard on anything, really. Their social circles are curated, favoring those whose intellect aligns with theirs, and they're notably introspective.
Geminis, predictably, represent and embrace the duality of life, always able and willing to consider new perspectives if it means broadening their worldview and strengthening their ideals.
Bursting with ideas, those born under this sign exude spirit (and a little bit of sass). Geminis have advanced people skills and eloquent communication when needed, as their speech is highly adaptable.
However, they occasionally grapple with the challenge of realizing all their aspirations. They're enthusiastic and always tend to have high hopes, even when they realistically know they're not all achievable.
This isn't a sign of weakness or low intelligence, though, as they'll be sure to scale themselves back before making any actual decisions. They just like to indulge in the fantasy!
Virgo is the zodiac's famous perfectionist. Governed by Mercury, the planet of communication, they're very good at keeping many channels of communication open, not to mention maintaining perfect clarity when talking to others.
They want to always be understood as best as they can, refusing to let their message be muddied.

Virgos are meticulous and persistent in achieving their goals. Their commitment to constant improvement positions them among the most intelligent signs.
Rooted in a scientific mindset, they remain unaffected by external opinions, keeping true to their innermost selves. Virgos meticulously weigh all perspectives before making informed decisions, displaying thoughtfulness and maturity.
Scorpios are often shrouded in mystery due to their intense and ominous energy, guided by Pluto, the planet of transformation. Despite this, Scorpios stand as the most intuitive in the zodiac, often gifted with a potent sixth sense.
If divination isn't their thing, they're incredible at reading people and are able to profile someone new within minutes.
They also excel at deciphering others' true intentions, displaying strong leadership qualities even in the face of chaos.
Scorpios are emotionally and intellectually brilliant, often leaving people feeling a bit intimidated by them. Perhaps this is where their misunderstood nature comes from.
Libras are dedicated to introducing balance into life's diverse (and divisive) situations, meticulously weighing opposing viewpoints before reaching informed decisions.
This commitment to balance and fair judgment reflects their intelligence. They have a sound enough mind to want to consider all potential views before deciding what they think is best.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Libras also possess a deep appreciation for beauty in all its forms. A love for the creative alongside the intellectual speaks to an open, well-rounded mind.
Their charm and sophistication help them to navigate life's many challenges, earning them a well-deserved spot among the smartest zodiac signs.
