Being psychic, spiritually gifted, or intuitive has its advantages. Being in tune with your surroundings and others at a heightened level allows for more insightful connections and successful outcomes.
However, being overwhelmed by so much emotional energy that others seem to evade can become draining without proper boundaries. While certain zodiac signs exhibit psychic powers more often than others, anyone of any star sign can develop their abilities.
Parade Astrology’s expert astrologers discuss which zodiac signs possess psychic traits and characteristics, ranked from most to least likely.
The Most to Least Psychic, Intuitive Zodiac Signs
Read for your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. In astrology, the Moon sign can especially show psychic abilities.
Cancer
Under the influence of the Moon, Cancer is most likely to possess psychic abilities. La Luna governs our emotional intelligence and intuitive understanding, providing direction through our feelings. Consequently, this Water sign can remarkably comprehend what they need and go with their gut swiftly. While some may view psychic phenomena as an abstract concept that is difficult to grasp, Cancers often experience intuitive insights and breakthroughs regularly, even if articulating their internal experiences to others can be challenging.
Scorpio
Scorpio is deeply intuitive, governed by Pluto, the planet associated with transformation. This Water sign cannot ignore their instincts, no matter how hard they try. Their psychic talents stem from a desire to be informed. As a result, they often possess strong psychic abilities, enhanced perception, and an uncanny skill for understanding others beyond mere surface-level interactions. While many can be intimidated by their mysterious ability to intuit naturally, this star sign is one of the most powerful zodiacs due to this natural phenomenon.

Pisces
Neptune, the planet of otherworldly realms and spiritual truth, rules Pisces. You can’t separate this star sign from its intuitive nature. Whether they express their skills and abilities through heightened empathy, artistry, creativity, or healing, Pisces tends to be psychic. While many in the zodiac struggle to get in touch with their emotions, this Water sign is sensitive to any slight shift within themselves, others, or their environment. They sponge up the energy of a room without proper energetic protection, so it’s vital that they learn not to take responsibility for others’ evolution, even if they sense what potential others miss.
Sagittarius
Being ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, spirituality, and expansion, brings Sagittarius a cutting edge. This Fire sign tends to follow their passion and instincts unapologetically. While some can overlook their psychic abilities, their confidence and conviction in following their highest potential allows them to channel higher truths. Their psychic abilities peak in open conversation, philosophical debates, and any experience that will enable them to venture out of their typical routine. Sagittarius can see someone’s true self and bring that expression out in them. Psychic breakthroughs come in the form of liberation, following one’s path, and prioritizing authenticity.
Aquarius
Being psychic often corresponds with being an outlier. Aquarius walks to the beat of their own drum, pursuing life with integrity and individualistic beliefs. Their ability to remain detached when necessary and witness the big picture gives them a unique bird’s eye view. Ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation delivers unexpected, sudden bursts of insights and psychic downloads into the Aquarian mind. They are meant to fight the good fight. Their psychic abilities often involve anticipating future trends, outcomes, or perspectives before they occur, especially on a larger societal level.
Aries
Being ruled by Mars, the warrior planet, makes Aries a bold pioneer. Their psychic abilities come through a heightened connection to their instincts. While many can be shamed into downplaying their potential or dismissing their individual needs, Aries prioritizes the relationship with self above all else. If you don’t care for yourself, who or what can you tend to anyway? Psychic urges are followed without second-guessing themselves, often happening so suddenly that they go under the radar of the conscious awareness of others and even themselves.
Leo
Leo corresponds with the Sun, the representative force of consciousness in astrology. Therefore, this fire sign shows self-awareness, confidence, and vitality for days. Their psychic breakthroughs may not come through meditative, introspective means. Instead, they find their intuitive vibrance comes out through self-expression and proactive, moment-by-moment plays. Shining bright, they bring others breakthroughs, higher perspectives, and inner child healing.

Libra
Libra is known for their charming nature and sweet disposition. Their ability to read people, mirror their traits, and understand their core values and desires can be almost psychic. Libra’s compassion knows no limits. Libra values justice, and their instincts are alerted when something is off. Unfairness leads them to act, somehow intuiting the right thing to do at the right moment.
Gemini
Going with the flow, Gemini tends to be open-minded enough for random psychic abilities to flow through. Being a mutable Air sign means they primarily rely on their rational mind. However, when they are in the presence of another intuitive person, they tend to take in some of their energies. If this zodiac sign is exposed to psychic energies, they can quickly learn and adapt these traits, skills, and spiritual gifts. Being a jack of all trades, it isn’t that Gemini cannot be psychic; they need hands-on experience and learning to get there.
Taurus
Taurus is tied to Venus, the planet of relationships and allure. Therefore, this Earth sign is sensual, in tune with their senses, and practical, tangible reality. Their psychic abilities may often be left untapped, simply out of the desire to focus on pragmatic matters. However, they can find themselves being intuitive in shocking ways regarding loved ones. They value connection, leading to an almost psychic awareness of supporting, nurturing, or uplifting others.

Virgo
Ruled by Mercury, the planet of intellect, makes Virgo brainy. They tend to be logical and rational. This Earth sign relies on structure, leaving little room for emotional influence. Therefore, astrologers would consider this zodiac one of the least likely to exercise their intuitive awareness or develop psychic abilities.
Capricorn
Saturn rules Capricorn, the planet of longevity, maturity, and karma. Although Capricornians can be spiritually gifted and aware, they tend to be logical or rational about everything they do. They are old souls. While they don’t necessarily lack mystical abilities or intuitive insights, their pragmatic approach usually reflects their lived experience and objective views.
