“Some read the room. Some read the universe.” Psychic abilities have always held a certain allure a combination of mystery, magic, and ‘how did they know that?!’ Skeptics may try to account for it with coincidence, but astrology suggests that individual signs are just attuned to pick up on what others miss.

From sensing the emotional undertone in a conversation to predicting life’s plot turns, such signs seem to have a hotline to the unknown. And although we can all refine our intuition, some zodiac signs have an in-built edge. Here’s a closer examination of the signs most likely to blindside you with their sixth sense and the unique ways it kicks in.

1. Cancer: The Emotional Radar
Moon-governed Cancer is astrology’s top empath. Their connection to the moon inspires an otherworldly talent for feeling emotional shifts before anyone utters a word. As astrologer MaKayla McRae says, “La Luna regulates our emotional intelligence and intuitive awareness,” which renders Cancer most susceptible to having lots of intuitive a-ha moments.
Aside from ‘feeling things,’ Cancers also act on these instincts calling a friend at the most opportune moment or making life-changing decisions based on a gut feeling that is often right. This water sign’s gift is in turning emotional impressions into empathetic action, which is why they usually end up being the friend who knows what you need before you do.

2. Scorpio: The Human Lie Detector
Scorpio intuition is just as deep as it is intense. Governed by Pluto and Mars, this fixed water sign is comfortable with the realms of change, secrets, and hidden agendas. They don’t merely sense what’s going on rather, they probe until they find the truth.
Their psychic edge is more likely to come in the form of a feeling of deceit or being able to uncover what isn’t spoken. It’s not suspicion for suspicions’ sake Scorpios are driven by an urge to get the big picture. When they’re attuned, they can move through subtle emotional landscapes with precision, and thus, are good friends and intimidating foes.

3. Pisces: The Dream Weaver
Pisces drifts on the sea of Neptune, the dream world, illusions, and spiritual truths. The water mutable sign is typically known as the ‘old soul’ of the zodiac with more than the physical world sensitivity. A number of Pisceans have indicated premonitory dreams, flashes of insight, or a basic knowing that is beyond rationality.
Their psychic abilities become woven together with their creativity. Whether painting, music, or empathetic counsel, Pisces translates what they sense into forms that heal and inspire. Their secret: Mastering the art of protecting their energy so that they do not absorb everyone they encounter’s emotional baggage.

4. Sagittarius: The Truth Channeler
On the surface, Sagittarius doesn’t look like a psychic force to be dealt with. But as Jupiter-ruled fire sign, that intuitive sense is likely to show up in the guise of philosophical wisdom or quirky timing in their advice.
Sagittarians are adept at seeing the overall picture and motivating others to follow their authentic path.
Their psychic flash occurs in so many instances in the midst of a discussion, when suddenly they state with exactness precisely what a person needs to hear. Being attuned to higher truths makes them excellent guides, especially when they heed their adventurous intuition.

5. Aquarius: The Future Forecaster
Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, is operating on a frequency that’s a notch higher than the rest of humanity. Their psychic style is more about perceiving trends, turns, and possibilities before they happen than reading emotions.
This air sign’s remoteness allows them to see patterns that no one else notices, so they’re born visionaries. From predicting cultural trends to sensing the next large shift in a friend’s life, Aquarians have a way of bringing news that has the sound of having been plucked from tomorrow. Their job is implementing these epiphanies.

6. Aries: The Instinctive Pioneer
Psychic potential for Aries comes in the form of instant intuition. Managed by action-movie planet Mars, they are built to act and will respond to their inner telling without hesitation. They may not realize it as ‘psychic,’ but intuitive choices are lightning-fast and get them exactly where they need to be.
This intuitive feeling can be a massive asset in leadership, relationships, and personal growth. Libra’s secret is to admit that their impulsive moves are most likely driven by a deeper sense of knowing and to learn to develop that link for even greater action.

7. Libra: The Energy Balancer
Libra’s psychic ability is their ability to read interpersonal dynamics with scalpel-like precision. Ruled by Venus, they possess an ear for harmony, justice, and the sly cues that betray individuals’ hidden feelings.
Their intuitive strikes usually happen when something about a relationship or scenario feels ‘off.’ Libras can sense imbalance before people even realize it, so they can jump in and bring balance. This is why they’re good mediators and loyal advisors, especially when they feel confident of their initial impression.

While these seven signs are naturally gifted in the psychic area, astrology reminds us that intuition is a talent anyone can acquire. Meditation, journaling, or simply paying attention to subtler impressions are all ways that listening to your inner sense can be transformative. The stars may speak of your gifts, but it’s your desire to listen that turns promise into potential.
