Who’s the smartest star sign of them all? Although all star signs have something to offer, you may wonder which star signs are ranked most to least high IQ. Keep in mind that IQ can be measured in numerous ways. Don’t be discouraged if your star sign isn’t the most intelligent one. Your zodiac sign will have other strengths that speak volumes about your intelligence.
According to astrologers, ranking zodiac signs’ IQs will consider several factors: element, planetary ruler, modality, and more. As cosmic experts consider all facets of intelligence, you may find that your zodiac sign is brainy and sharp.
IQ, According to Astrology
IQ, or intelligence, can be characterized in a few different ways. Being smart and capable doesn’t always translate to testing well at school. There are various kinds of intelligence: emotional, interpersonal, logical, spatial, mathematical, and more. As a result, your IQ can be affected by a few different factors, such as your sociability, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. According to astrology, your IQ is determined by your natal Mercury and Uranus signs.
Mercury is the cosmic messenger associated with thinking, processing, and communication. The cosmic messenger alludes to how astute one is. Working with your natal Mercury can help you improve your overall IQ. Meanwhile, Uranus is the rebel planet associated with innovation and ingenuity. Uranus is often called the “higher mind” since Uranus represents unique perspectives, immense breakthroughs, and originality. Harnessing the power of your natal Uranus can help you become more confident in your unorthodox yet valuable ideas, hot takes, and interests.
Additionally, anyone born with Mercury cazimi or Uranus cazimi may have higher IQs. A cazimi happens when a planet enters the heart of the sun, and the sun’s powerful beams ultimately strengthen the planet’s attributes and skills. Mercury cazimi and Uranus cazimi would be mentally empowering. However, having these cazimis might make you too self-aware, because of how much you know and innately understand.

Mastering new subjects is the name of your game, Capricorn. Your planetary ruler, Saturn, amplifies your perseverance and dedication.

8. Taurus
Easy does it, Taurus. There’s no rush to learn something new or test your brainpower. You tend to move slowly, especially when you want to take your time with new material. Plus, your stubbornness will likely delay starting the process of expanding upon your intelligence. While your dedication to understanding something or someone is commendable, your speed is not. Your IQ ranking is lower, because of how long it can take before you truly grasp whatever you’re learning.
9. Pisces
Wait, what was that, Pisces? You can be quite the space cadet thanks to being ruled by woozy Neptune. Your planetary ruler invites your mind to daydream of other worlds and timelines. Since your head is always in the clouds, you may struggle to catch up in the classroom or work through a problem in real time. Despite being so wise, your overall IQ is ranked lower, because you struggle to focus on what’s right in front of you if you’re more entranced by your imagination and fantasies.

10. Aries
Sit down, Aries! You may struggle to learn or retain anything, because you’re always moving. Taking the time to understand where others may come from, or what something works the way it does is not your jam. You prefer to learn as you go, which amplifies your street smarts, but not else. Although you would rank higher for street smarts, your shorter attention span hinders your emotional and logical intelligence, putting you lower on the list.
11. Leo
Don’t let your ranking crush your ego, Leo. You might feel offended to clock in so low on the IQ scale, but it’s not what you think. Intelligence is complex, such as yourself, but intelligence is ever-expanding, which is unlike you. As a fixed sign, you have the propensity to get stuck in your way. Your dogmatism slows your opportunities to learn new things, understand new perspectives, and enhance your overall intelligence. Once you overcome your stubbornness, your ranking should improve.
12. Sagittarius
Being last place might be a huge surprise to you, Sagittarius. Yes, your explorative Jupiterian nature can boast a formidable IQ. However, you’re the kind of fire sign to overlook the importance of what goes into being intelligent. You might glide over asking questions to get more information, ignore the details in favor of focusing on the big picture, and state your opinions as hard-core facts. Since you can often miss the mark on opportunities to further your education, this is why you’re in last place.
