A genius is someone who possesses deep wisdom, often without clear explanation. They are not your doctors, rocket scientists, or Ph.D., but they tap into a deep understanding that seems to have taken a lifetime to find. While we may think of sages as hermits or old bearded men from ancient history and mythology, these four supreme sages of the zodiac walk among us, even today.
Pisces
Pisces often feel as if they were born in the wrong century, or are on the fifth rebirth. Their outward appearance does not seem to match their mental and emotional maturity. They see things from afar, often when others never notice, and can analyze social patterns at such a high level, that they never take things personally. They just chill and do their own thing while people go through different stages of life.
You will never find them engaging in pre-teen bullying, emo moping, or running their friends and foes to the altar or delivery room, but you will see them, recognizing these rights of passage, and comforting friends who are stuck in between, from the sidelines. People will seek them out especially for their detachment from chaos, begging them to reveal the secret of their zen-like happiness.
Capricorn
Capricorns share a lot with intellectuals like the monk who made books by hand in the 6th century. They avoid strenuous or repetitive tasks where there is great pressure to avoid mistakes. Capricorns can simply put their heads down and lose the rhythm of the calling, going deep into the focus. They don’t get distracted by what everyone else is doing, or the shiny new thing that’s taking over the masses. They are committed for a long time, and they are satisfied with their lives.
So everyone wants to know their secrets. Everyone He wants to know how they can reach the level of Capricorn and find the same contentment and existence in their lives. Capricorn may be as tight-lipped as a sage, because they are not really interested in giving advice, but if the right person comes, and asks in an honest way, they may be tempted to give the high light of their wisdom upon them.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a wandering genius, like Professor Marvel in The Wizard of Oz. They may come across as a drifter, grifter, gypsy, and more, but in reality they are on a never-ending journey, seeking the wealth of living experience. They prioritize that intangible wisdom over physical possessions, home ownership, or a stable job or routine. They are not afraid of the conflict of life, its unexplained certainties, or the elusive (perhaps lack of) purpose. They are concerned with what can be received, transmitted, and explained, usually through writing or art.
People flock to them because they want to live freely with Sagittarius. Those who are too afraid to ever leave their small town want to hear stories of distant lands, stories of exploration, adventures of overcoming adversity. They want the adrenaline and excitement of that life, without risking themselves. A brave few may seek Sagittarius approval and approval, the assurance that they too are capable of leaving their comfort zone behind.
Leo
Leo is the genius of the zodiac. They can look into your eyes and read your life story—that’s how strong their natural view of human nature is. They can spot feelings, intentions, wishes, and desires from a mile away, and most importantly, empathize with them in a gentle and caring way. Everyone wants to open up to a Leo, to feel the ego-boost of being seen and understood, often for the first time in their lives at this level. That is why you will see Leos surrounded by a court of fans or followers.
But underneath it all is a sense of boredom. People are so predictable and self-motivated that Leo is always looking for new things in their world. They are looking for people with a pure heart and a deep imagination, someone who can see what they see, simplicity in life’s many quote-unquote “problems”. As a wise man, Leo is blessed with the understanding that many human ailments can be solved by man himself, if only he takes the time to listen and observe the world around him.
