While intelligence varies among individuals, astrology often associates signs like Aquarius, Capricorn, and Virgo with high intelligence due to their analytical and innovative traits. Remember, astrology provides general tendencies and does not determine actual intelligence levels.
My dad is an Aquarius and he's not that intelligent. But he is one cool a $ $ mothertrucker
Leo
leo /pisces moon Gene Roddenberry, wasn't he the one who created the star trek series? to go where no man has gone. pisces moon expansion.
I notice he's cancer dominant.
http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Gene_Roddenberry
he does have Jupiter and Saturn in Virgo. Coincidence?
besides, Einstein, pisces/sag, 11th house, there's the high I.Q. mensa gal, Ellen Muth, Pisces 4 stellium, with aqua merc singularity trining libra planets.
Capricorn,virgo moon, Taurus dominant

Stephen hawking.
and of course billionaire, Bill Gates, Scorpio, aries moon/libra mars.
My college mate had Aquarius Sun/Mercury/Venus/Mars and she was literally a walking encyclopedia. She knew and could do ANYTHING, at that being creative and always finding time to help others.
being encyclopedia smart isn't anything really, just memorizing stuff. what is genius is creating and seeing things that are beyond what others see, the way Einstein did. or Tesla.
Nicola tesla.

Agree and I know a lot of intelligent Geminis. I know a smart Leo and he's dominant Capricorn.
Gemini is intelligent but I don't know any top ten billionaires that are Gemini sun, maybe top twenty.
also the problem with air sun folks, is that if they isn't enough grounding or other elements other than air dominant, then they're just gonna stay airy fairy.
for example.
https://astrolibrary.org/gemini/
Because Gemini natives think so quickly, they often finish other people's sentences for them. This can be most frustrating for the person trying to express their own thoughts. There is a need to learn how to control the tongue and allow slower people to express their own opinions and ideas.
Since Gemini natives have the capacity to see both sides of any issue, they may fluctuate back and forth between opposing viewpoints. They will usually tend to side with the opinion of whomever they happen to be with at the moment. Then they change as the circumstances change. Indecisiveness is a problem for Gemini natives.
Gemini natives are usually emotionally detached. They use their minds rather than their hearts to find their way through things. Logic and reason are their guidelines. They are able to understand what makes other people behave as they do, but they have difficulty in projecting themselves into the emotional reactions of the person involved.
Some of the negative traits that Gemini natives possess are lack of concentration and focus, undependability, fickleness, indecisiveness, superficiality, wishful thinking, and dreaminess. They can also be pretty good at nagging.
although Dante Alighieri who was Gemini sun stellium Gemini in 12th, opposite his 6th house moon, is a genius writer of the "Divine Comedy" super classic.
This has nothing to do with zodiac signs, but I've noticed that people who have Saturn Aspect Mercury, especially the conjunction or negative aspect, tend to be more intelligent.
I think Aquarians, Capricorns, and Virgo's are the smartest.
Let me just say for team Aquarius, we appreciate that you put us first. I know you'll say each of those can be first and you put them at random, but truly, sometime the subconscious knows best. 🙂
Although there's a few that drag the average down
😆

A lot of inventors have Aquarius as their Sun sign. Mozart, Thomas Edison, Nicholas Copernicus, Galileo.
Sure book smart is ok but common sense keeps you alive kids.
My mother has the chart of a genius.

I'd say Virgo, Virgo placements
But it depends, depends, depends, depends
It's a hard question.How do you define smart?All people have different view about this, what looks smart to other might look stupid to another 😄

my parents are Pisces they are intelligent too!
I have to agree, Pisces have their fair share of intellect. That's if they can somehow ground themselves...

I don't know, just being generally intelligent. Deductive reasoning skills and the ability to think quickly and effectively.
Intelligence has nothing to do with astrology.

my dad, is a grounded pisces. my mom, is erm, a pisces pisces lol
but both are intelligent in their own way. I don't think being grounded should be tied with being intelligent-smart because you're not smart enough if you were too real and grounded. you gotta think out of the box and have great imagination.

I totally agree, but pisces need that grounded perspective or else they can get quite lost or can't bring anything intelligent to Earth.
Haha yes! Aquarians are the water bearer so makes sense.
Posted by Diablo
^^^ that video is stupid!All 12 signs have a certain level of intelligence!
Water signs are stupid smart if their mom or dad nurtured that aspect in them. It's look to at the astrology aspect but never neglect nurturing.
I agree. they must have met some Gemini dominant Aquarians. because I don't care to learn a lot of subjects. who cares.
astrology is ENOUGH. and I hated math.

Tesla has a cool chart. Any one read his autobiography? I totally see his placements when I read his life story. Most notably the airy parts.
wow he had Taurus, Taurus dominant to ground him, and 6th house dominant.

Do you guys think the Saturn is influencing his Mercury even though they're in different signs?

cancer energy has excellent memory skills.
so that really HELPS the Gemini part. they work in harmony so he's very lucky.
he has a very brilliant chart.

Einstein isn't an Aqua. He's a Pisces.
the only aqua about Einstein is that he's 11th house dominant.
Gemini and Sagittarius are both highly intelligent signs imo.
Also Leo.
the only thing I don't like about genius men, about most of them are that they suck at relationships. with a small exception, but many of them can't do relationships.
edit - I mean steve jobs and Einstein weren't the most relationship happy men. and Nicola tesla didn't have any relationships that I have known of. it's like they can't do it.
Virgo
I'm surprised with the random Leo comments. I didn't think Leo was much of intelligence haha. Maybe because they are opposing Aquarius?? The highest expression of Aquarius is Leo and the highest expression of Leo is Aquarius.

my ex's had leo, and my husband is leo dominant. he is really a genius.
lots of leo energy are geniuses.
but my hubs is also virgo dominant. sooooo....maybe that's it? or that the combination, helps.
just like below with cancer and Gemini.

Funny you say that. Tesla's dad had his life planned for him after college...he had a a wife and potential jobs lined up for him. The thought of it literally made Tesla sick, literally!
When his father died, he said little about how he felt about his father's death and life. He went on to pursue his studies and saw relationship as a distraction. Most great men do!

did you read Einstein's biography?? he literally made relationshps to HIS way, or the highway. lol
it's like, 'yes master, yes sir, you go out and be with other women, genius man, yessirr" I mean, what are women to do back then?? especially against a man of high intellect??
Posted by lisabethur8 Einstein weren't the most relationship happy men. and Nicola tesla didn't have any relationships that I have known of. it's like they can't do it.
Dunno about Jobs, but Einstein had a schedule with the wife, as to when they will do their marital activities, although at some point they stopped even that. Tesla, hehe, according to his own words, didn't even masturbate, said he doesn't want to use "life" energy i think he called it.
😄

they are SO WEIRD. *smh*
Edit - oh about steve jobs. he wasn't faithful to his wife if you read his biography. but his wife turned a blind eye. it's like the Arnold schwarzzenneger thing,since he had children too with other women. Although it might seem that the wife just benefited from the union due to power and money.

If you're leaning towards a certain sign...you're only showing us your bias.When it comes to intelligence on the world stage, all the sun signs are represented.
True.

waters signs for the win! bill gates a scorpio! nicola tesla a cancer!...einstein a pisces!
people keep saying air, too but I disagree.
what about earth!!??
no one ever talks about earth.
I mentioned Stephen Hawking, Capricorn sun. virgo and Taurus dominant., super earthy.
I read that he actually has wives. lol
I mean I can't imagine....
Posted by scorpx3
...and yet the most intelligent physicist was a Pisces, and the most well known philosophers were Taurus. Lol. Air signs are not all that intelligent. Most are just good talkers.
well this ENTIRE dxp board is about talking. you're doing it too. soooooo what's up with that?

Why are people surprised Leo is being mentioned?! Steve Wozniak is a Leo. He's responsible for the development of the Apple 1.Without him personal computers wouldn't be what they are today.
For him, I think it's his Virgo in mercury that's responsible...just like Tesla, they both have awesome mercury placements. Nothing beats that Gemini in mercury with Taurus placements tho and a mom that's an inventor.
Tesla was literally out of this world. His notebooks are still being deciphered.
I think he was an alien lol. He was freaky smart.
people put down the detriment and fall mercuries.
lol
what about sag and pisces mercury—
there are geniuses in this merc too.

Lmao, loving how all the "smart girls" in the thread, that crying scorpio chick too, this one above and the one with b&w avatar don't even understand the picture with Paris Hilton is a pun on her and aquarian superiority in the intelligence department.Get a clue.

I just ignored it. I thought...lame. boring.

I guess the Mercury sign ultimately determines it. I read on an article or website that Sagittarius, Pisces, Aquarius, and Virgo Mercury were the most intelligent in a study. I'm not sure if gemini was one of them honestly, probably was mentioned though becuase they mentioned sagittarius, which is opposite of gemini. Too bad I didn't bookmark or save the website, but it makes a ton of sense.
@diablo, knowledge from books is awesome too and memorizing.
because, for example, my cappy mother in law has virgo mars, aqua venus/aqua Jupiter, strong earth and aqua.
and she makes sure when we're out in the wild, i'm highly IMPRESSED with her knowledge of birds and plants. also, she knows which plants are dangerous and which are good to eat, like berries, and which are poisonous and one time, I got allergic reaction, and she grabbed a plant right next to it, and said, "when there's a poison plant like this, there's a plant next to it that HEALS" so I rubbed it on, and was healed.
that's USEFUL and wonderful if you're out in the wild and will save your life.
and my mother in law and father in law are both geniuses.....so my hubs got a lot of it. lol
edit - so it's good to LEARN these things if you're into the wild and going out into the wilderness.
the guy who was filmed "Into the wild" died because he ate berries that were poison and got hungry. life and death situation!!
PISCES. Hands down. Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs. Hello.
Taurus people, hands down.
This sign gave the most influential philosophers, famous statesmen, the most inventors, many geniuses, polymaths, most scientists which names are used as SI units (base or derived, centi-gram-second system of units and others), along Aries, the most mathematicians, chess grandmasters, the most indi guru's, etc.
William Shakespeare, Max Planck, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Richard Feynman, Karl Marx, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Shannon, Immanuel Kant, Henri Poincaré, Kurt Gödel, Bertrand Russell, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, prophet Muhammad, allegedly Buddha, Mary Wollstonecraft, Ferdinand Magellan, David Hume, Jean Léonard Marie Poiseuille, Charlotte Bronte, John Stuart Mill, Catherine The Great, Friedrich Hayek, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Athanasius Kircher, Niccolo Machiavelli, Sigmund Freud, Max Weber, Oliver Heaviside, etc
Aquas, Virgos and Geminis
The refined elements (air,water) > the raw elements (earth, fire)
The detached elements (air, earth) > the passionate elements (water, fire)
Mutable > Cardinal > Fixed (you can attack this assertion if you'd like, but you'll lose, probably because you'll be a fixed sign)
Universal > Interpersonal > Personal
1 point for a sign being: cardinal, interpersonal, water, earth
2 points for a sign being mutable, universal, air
Aries: 1
Taurus: 2
Gemini: 4
Cancer: 3
Leo: 1
Virgo: 4
Libra: 4
Scorpio: 2
Sagittarius: 4
Capricorn: 4
Aquarius: 4
Pisces: 5
I'm too sleepy to doublecheck on all of those complex additions problems, but if I had it right, then we can rank as such:
Brilliant
Pisces
Smart (mode)
Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius
Average? (well, median)
Cancer
Stay in school
Taurus, Scorpio
...too cool for school?
Aries, Leo
I only regret Aries and Leo falling behind Cancer and Taurus, but I suppose that proves my impartial nature 😈

Lol are people actually saying Fire signs are smart? Fire signs along with Earth signs are the dumbest by far.
Wow, rude!

I realize the OP stuck the "just for fun" disclaimer in there, but some folks are losin' it in here, so it's time to be that guy for a moment.Sun sign has absolutely nothing to do with "intelligence." That's outside of its orbit. 😄
Additionally, Mercury-qua-astrological-planet is the planet of articulation and communication, not intellect.
Mercury's placement indicates the general style of communication, while the quality and depth (though I can't stand using that word in an astrological context) are indicated by Merc aspects (amount and kind, specific contacts, etc.)
Enjoy.

Our intelligence doesnt work grounded. Each person intelligence depends on everything arround and where you mingle better.
