There are a plethora of smarty pants characters to idolize, but Spock was the one that championed logic in a way unlike all the rest. Whether you’re impulsive and emotionally driven or analytical, you probably fall on one side or the other of the logical/emotional coin. So call for heads or tails and discover the most logical zodiac signs and their less logical counterparts.
Virgo, if being logical was an Olympic sport, you’d be a gold medalist. Your natural aptitude for analysis, organization, and collecting data puts you leagues above others in terms of logical thinking. Maybe she’s born with it; maybe she’s a Virgo.
When it comes to making decisions for a Virgo, emotions have no business being involved. The cold, hard facts are the only things that matter. The way you can process a situation and confidently argue for the best decision makes you the efficient zodiac sign you are.
Capricorn, you’re a close second to Virgo on the logical podium. You can’t fast-track your goals by making emotional decisions. Although you’ve got them, they’re buried deep under the surface and don’t peek out to complicate your thought process.
And what’s left when you’ve got your emotions under lock and key? Why, the logical approach of course.
It might shock you that a water sign hits so close to the top of the list. However, Scorpio is so in tune with their own feelings that they can see an emotional decision coming a mile away. A true Scorpio knows how to take charge and get things done, and that involves tapping into the path of least resistance — logic.
Taurus, as an earth sign, you’re practical and methodical when making decisions. Because you take time to deliberate on every possible factor, the outcomes usually weigh in your favor. And, being stubborn means that when you know the right answer, you won’t be swayed by people’s convincing arguments to change your mind. When you’re committed, you’re committed. And more times than not, it’s informed by a logical approach.
Libra, you’re all about harmony. This means you’re especially adept at seeing the emotional and logical sides of a situation. Now, just because you can see them doesn’t mean you always marry the two together, especially when you’re the one making the decisions. Sometimes, your scales fall a little off balance, but it only takes a short amount of time to right them again.
Sagittarius, in comparison to the other zodiac signs, you sit firmly in the middle between being logically driven and emotionally driven. On the one hand, you can be impulsive, which doesn’t lend itself to thinking things through. Yet, there’s a philosophical intrigue that runs all throughout your being, which encourages you to really chew and ruminate on important issues.
So, you don’t always sweat the small stuff, but when it’s big brain topics, you’ll always lean more logical than not.
Gemini, with you we start coming to the less logical zodiac signs. You’ve got an insatiable curiosity which means you’re primed to be able to sift through all kinds of feedback in your head and come to a logical conclusion. However, having a dual spirit doesn’t mean you’re always capable of fighting off the Freud's notorious Id. In this realm, the Gemini twins look a lot more like an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other.
Aquarius, as someone who breaks molds instead of fits into them, you’re capable of holding multiple truths in your head at once. So, while you can follow the thread down the logical path, you can also take time to ponder over less logical approaches. With an inventive spirit like yours, finding out what happens in all the situations is almost more important than picking the right one.
To sum it up, you’re capable of driving a manual, but sometimes you prefer to cruise with an automatic.
Leo, logic matters very little when you think you’re right. How you came to a conclusion doesn’t matter a lick. As a fire sign, you’re willing to fight over your opinion, even if it’s not the best one.
The logical approach is usually the safest, and nothing is eye-catching about being safe. For Leos, taking a walk on the wild side can be a whole lot more fun.
Aries, you won’t be qualifying for the logic Olympics, that’s for sure. As a fire sign, you’re prone to impulsive decision-making, which doesn’t give you any time to sit and find a logical way through a situation. That in itself doesn’t push you away from the logical realm. Instead, it’s your love of the fight that does.
Rarely is getting into a fight the logical thing to do. But on the other hand, the biggest moves in history weren’t always made by taking the logical route.
Cancer, you’re one of the least logical zodiac signs by nature. You’re incredibly empathetic, which means you’re more likely to listen to your feelings than the logical side of your brain. But being driven by your emotions doesn’t necessarily mean you’re set to make the wrong choice! Following your heart has led many people to the greatest decisions of their lives.
And sometimes, the logical decision also feels right, meaning that you’re spot on at least half the time.
Pisces, with a sensitive soul like yours, going straight for the logical approach can feel impossible. If logic is one end of the spectrum, then emotion is probably the other, which means you’re as far to one side as you can get.
Being emotionally driven doesn’t necessarily mean you’re incapable of thinking logically, but you’re hardwired to be led by your heart instead of your head. And the beautiful thing about it is that you can always uplift the voices that get squashed underneath all that logical rhetoric.
You can’t go through life with only logic. You need a little ethos and pathos in there, too. So, whether you skew more towards the Spocks or Kirks of the world, or somewhere in the middle, pat yourself on the back. The world is a better place with you and your logical or non-logical brain in it.
