It is already known that in the zodiac we have 12 signs.
Each of them has their talents and their detriments, also their dominant element.
It is usually associated with the
air signs with the mind
, with which we could suppose that these three signs are the most intelligent, or wise, of the zodiac.
But nothing is that linear in this sacred language.
The 5 wisest signs
Sagittarius: mental expansion
If we are going to talk about wisdom we would say that, par excellence, the one who takes the power in this matter is the abundant
Sagittarius
.
It is domiciled in the 9th house, the house of expansion, higher studies and mental and spiritual trips, as well as physical trips, whose
experience
will always leave us with some teaching.

Sagittarius is the
great sage
of our sky.
The centaur who carries the arrow of knowledge and confidence displayed to the four winds, shoots and mental expansion is installed;
knowledge is acquired with the
sacred fire
that governs this sign.
Sagittarius' enormous capacity for higher studies is well known in astrological realms.
What happens is that the sign is also ruled by Jupiter, and that is always a plus.
She is the fairy godmother of everything she touches.
Its major arcanum in the Tarot is
Temperance
(XIV), since Sagittarius also has the wisdom to go beyond the limits of pain, and find meaning in life after crossing the desert.
Temperance does the same, beginning to mix cold and heat alchemically to regain balance.
Without a doubt, Sagittarius is the sign that can be taken as the wisest, as long as it does not become
dogmatic and denial
.
But we leave that for another article.
Gemini: the apprentice and the teacher
The other sign that makes up the axis of houses with Sagittarius is Gemini, just domiciled in house 3 and opposite to 9, they make up the axis of wisdom and knowledge.
Gemini is the sign of
teaching and learning.
Many times he is reproached for being the eternal apprentice ... but without a doubt his ability to
absorb the knowledge
that surrounds him is as striking and astonishing as his perpetual curiosity.
Learning and teaching for Gemini is part of their most representative energy.
This sign is like a sponge.
Learning is organic for him.
In addition, Gemini is characterized by its ability to diversify, to be doing several things at the same time, and although sometimes that makes it spread out, it also allows it to acquire wisdom from all the areas through which it passes.

Air sign
as I mentioned before, it is the first in the zodiac with that element, which makes your mind naturally prepared to acquire and transmit wisdom.
Its ruler is Mercury, who in our solar system represents mind, wisdom, knowledge and communication.
In the Tarot Gemini is associated with the major arcanum VI The Lovers.
This arcane does not necessarily speak of couple love, but of the wisdom of being able to observe what options we have before us, and thus, give us the possibility of choosing the right path.
Virgo: intelligence and precision
Following the path of the wise, I lean towards the
detailed
, concentrated and orderly Virgo, since his ability to organize himself to learn, to order what is necessary, even to sacrifice himself in any learning that leads him to achieve a goal makes him a sign with a high degree of wisdom.
Virgo has the ability to rationalize everything that comes his way.
Its analytical, systematic, deeply observant energy makes it a sign with a high degree of concentration.
It comes naturally.

Although Virgo is not an air sign but an earth sign, which also gives it the wisdom to
know how to do and specify,
I told you at the beginning that in astrology nothing is linear, but circular.
And since everything rotates, the ruler of this sign, like that of Gemini, is Mercury.
How then not to associate Virgo with one of the wisest signs of the zodiac.
The major arcana with which it is associated in Tarot is
The Hermit
(IX).
The great sage who is capable of enlightening himself with his experience and his own light.
Without forgetting the humility of this arcanum, which is the same as the sign of Virgo.
Libra: beauty and justice
Continuing with this selection, I tip the balance towards the sign of
Libra
.
Libra is the second air sign.
Its energy is directly linked to a wisdom that has to do with taking into account everything that has to do with the other.
It is the wisdom to
harmonize
, to seek value and beauty in everything it touches, in everything that is proposed.
If we also add its enormous capacity to harmonize situations, places and their
interconnectedness
with people, we have a sign whose wisdom is innate.

Libra is ruled by
Venus, who wisely lavishes beauty around her.
The arcanum of the Tarot to which it is associated is
Justice
.
Arcane VIII or XI according to the deck.
Perhaps there is no greater wisdom than to be fair.
Aquarius: the open mind
I saved the last air sign of the zodiac for last.
The transpersonal Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, a planet that represents everything innovative, technology, the new, the unforeseen.
Aquarius is the most open-minded and detached sign in the zodiac.
Maybe that's why I left it for last, beyond looking for an order in the mandala to the air signs.
Aquarius wisdom will rarely be emotional.

Aquarius wisdom will rarely be emotional.
But its ability to
absorb knowledge
, to achieve previously unthinkable goals, is unmatched.
And one of the most outstanding qualities of this energy is its ability to make that wisdom available to others.
The wisdom acquired will be poured out, like that of the water carrier for a common good.
This sign has a direct relationship with the Arcanum XVII of the Tarot,
The Star
.
In traditional decks, it is represented by a naked woman, stripped of all material things, pouring water into a river with a pitcher, and its meaning in a reading is hope.
After this brief review of a fragment of the energy of these signs, let's not forget that astrology is a whole.
And that each sign has its talent and its detriment, today we dedicate ourselves to only one of the many talents of each of them.
