Life ain’t just a matter of who’s got the highest qualifications or spent most hours with textbooks. Oftentimes it is who manages to find answers on the basis of pure grit, intuition, and street smarts.
Of course, some people have a natural genius with fantastic book knowledge. The others? This would probably have unique eyes and might understand everything outside itself, kind of like intelligence not provided by books, but literally earned.
So, which of all the zodiac signs are more book smart than street-wise?
Let’s dive right in.
Aries
An Aries will always have a daring adventurous spirit.
Their inclination seems ever naturally born for leadership, take the initiative as well as confront every challenge head-on. This quality makes them extremely street smart. Why? Because they are very fast learners and do not fear trying new things by using their life experiences to study.
For an Aries, the whole life becomes battle-ground; their fighting instincts toward the surroundings and quickly switching into new patterns of behavior make progress relatively easy. They are people who wouldn’t be found sitting on a book for hours; they would rather go out and experience firsthand what the life offers.
Their energetic and impulsive nature brings them into new and unexplored territory quite often, most of the times. But these are then the times when he or she attains the heights of brilliance in quick thinking and problem-solving.
When it comes to street-smarts, Aries can certainly take that spot. Most of the time, they won’t be the type who spends all day in the library, but put them in a real-life situation, and they’ll show you how it’s done.
Libra
Street-smart and sociable are what you’ll call a Libra.
These ones are born diplomats who can read people and situations like nobody’s business. They might not lay claim to an abundance of academic qualifications, but in terms of sorting out practical affairs, they exist in a league of their own.
Libras navigate the many layered aspects of life. They rely on their intuitive knowledge of human behavior and social dynamics to navigate their way around from time to time.
What sets them apart is their ability to create balance and peace even in the most chaotic events. They diffuse any tension-like situations with tact and charm, bringing reconciliation in record time.
All of these characteristics make one really street-smart. They may not do exceptionally well in an academic setting, but in the university of life, they will surely be graduated with honors.
Gemini
Welcome to the communicators of the zodiac, the Geminis.
Geminis are so versatile that they seem to blend into any situation within the moment. That is one of the most street-smart qualities of all signs possible. They are not always the biggest bookworms, but they are equipped with quick wit and adaptability that help them to thrive in today’s real world.
They are naturally inquisitive and love to learn-not necessarily about textbooks and lectures, but about what their world has to offer. These are great observers who catch on to cues and learn lessons from something as mundane as a made-up scenario.
A very amazing thing about Geminis is their ability to think on their feet very quickly; they solve problems in a flash and can come up with creative solutions in a jiffy.
Quite opposite to being a bookworm, Geminis have always been those few steps ahead in the game of life.
Sagittarius
And here comes the free Soul of all: Sagittarians.
If any sign portrays the very essence of street smart, then that is a Sagittarius. These beings are die-hard thrill-seekers and experience-collectors and so have become practically knowledgeable than academically learned people.
Sagittarius is the sign of hope and faith.
They love traveling and finding new people while getting to know other cultures. Such life experiences act as sharpening stones for their understanding of life, which endows them with a kind of wisdom that cannot really be gained from books.
Many of them stray from the usual paths in search of excitement, but Sagittarians typically manage to take even the worst situations and make something useful of it. They might not pass through the gauntlet of every school examination, but when it comes to tests of life, they score with flying colors.
Scorpio
Intuitive of all, the last is Scorpios.
Scorpios can be academic if they choose, but most of their skills are with deeper, more instinctual understandings of the world as opposed to academic pursuits. They often have a skill in seeing beyond the surface, which gives them a rather unique perspective on life.
Scorpio bears with the nature of being very intense and probing. As to life, everything creates an interest in the world itself, and it is in search of all kinds of answers to life’s mysteries. This compulsion often leads it down unconventional paths where it picks up the invaluable lessons and insights of experience.
They’re not going to be the average child on the academic merry-go-round; as street savvy and intuitive intelligence go, they’re unbeatable. When it comes to real-world savvy, though, don’t underestimate a Scorpio; they’ve probably figured things out pretty thoroughly.
Final words
To be street smart is not a trait preached by the individual zodiac signs: it is rather a human universal that goes along with the lessons and experiences made in life.
I believed that there was intelligence only in attending lectures, but knowing these traits of these zodiac signs has introduced me to a whole new world.
There is a lot that real-life experiences have to teach every person, whether bookish or streetwise.
After all, some of the most profound lessons I have learned come not from textbooks but from navigating dramatic and tangled routes through the throat of life!
