Astrology is founded on understanding the positions of the stars, which seems like a scientific enough pursuit in itself. But is there any science to back up whether astrology impacts our personality and our lives? Here's the short Answer: No. None whatsoever.
The statistical analysis did not reveal any correlation between signs of the zodiac and personality. The claim made by astrologers that people can be characterized according to their sign of the zodiac (sagitarius, taurus, cancer, scorpion) must be refuted.
The results of this study suggest that people's birth signs have no influence at all on their personality.
Rising sign matters most
The more we narrow down the time period, the closer we will come to that sign which truly resembles our personality and life pattern. From this, it is clear that it is the rising sign (Lagna or Ascendant) which is the true indicator our personality and behaviour.
No prizes for guessing that Aquarians are leading the pack when it comes to the most intelligent zodiac signs.
Scorpio. Scorpios are emotional and know how to go after what they want, but they are also the quietest zodiac sign. Loftis shares that '"still waters run deep"' is the perfect quote to describe these people as they are usually more soft spoken, but intelligent and interesting simultaneously.
Scorpio is one of the mentally strongest zodiac signs. Scorpios are known for being complex individuals. It can be incredibly hard to know what a Scorpio is thinking. They don't easily open up to others and aren't too trusting either.
Represented by the twins, Geminis exhibit dual personalities. You can never know a Gemini completely. They can be loving and gentle one moment and distant and detached the other. You never know which part of a Gemini you are experiencing.
Pisces. Pisces often tend to have a dual personality as shown by their zodiac sign. Their one side is emotional and the other side reflects their selfish and clever nature.
Libra and Gemini are the two most indecisive zodiac signs. They tend to weigh up all the pros and cons before making a decision. This can lead to them taking too long to make their minds up. Libra and Gemini may also be influenced by others' opinions, leading them to second-guess their own instincts.
The most accepted theory regarding individual differences is the five factors of personality traits (also known as Big Five); openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (Costa & McCrae, 1992).

The researchers found that those people who professed a belief in the powers of astrology tended to score higher than average on narcissistic measurements and also did poorly on the IQ test.
Virgo. Virgos tend to be one of the quieter signs, which lends to their observant and analytical nature. These people also like to be right and they assume they know everything. "They are happy to offer their knowledge and handle the major crisis, which makes them feel superior," Newman says.
It all started when some astrologers had a great observation for a very long period; they kept noticing every minor change that occurred in the sky and hence ascertained it in the many astronomical observations, events, and calculations. All of this became easier with the advent of technology.
That's the Gemini experience in a nutshell. Appropriately symbolized by the celestial twins, this air sign was interested in so many pursuits that it had to double itself. Because of Geminis' intrinsic duality, they're often falsely misrepresented as two-faced.
Gemini. Gemini is the zodiac sign that is most likely to be single. These wild child types love their freedom and don't necessarily want to commit to one person.
Leos are the most generous people. They are large hearted, kind, warm and loving, This fun loving sun sign can come across as super confident but they go out of their to help their loved ones.
Aries is the most fearless zodiac sign ever. It is closely followed by Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius zodiac signs.
Scorpio and Sagittarius are the signs of scholars
The burning curiosity of Scorpions and Sagittarians may have had them skip right down to their name. Scorpios, born between October 23 and November 21, are naturally inclined toward curiosity — in life, relationships, and beyond.
At the top of the list, with really no surprise, is Leo. Dramatic Leos are ruled by none other than the Sun, so they'll happily accept the title of the most attention-seeking zodiac sign.
Aquarius and Gemini are often seen as the wisest zodiac signs. They both possess strong problem-solving and analytic abilities that allow them to make sound decisions. Overall, each zodiac sign has different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to wisdom and decision-making.
