4 Zodiacs Who Are Forever Learners

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarius is on an eternal search for knowledge. They are the embodiment of wanderlust. They embrace the unknown and seek out diversity of people, experiences, and opinions. Of all the zodiac signs, they are the ones who make the most pointed effort to drink from the firehose of life, knowing what a futile attempt it is, but trying all the same. They will learn to play an instrument or pick up sports at any point in their life, try to cook you a delicious meal (even if they can’t find some of the ingredients), or sign up for any new experience that widens their personal perspective while arming them with a wide base of information which they use to connect with others. Because the best part of learning is discussing what you’ve learned with others. It’s watching someone’s face light up when you can quote their favorite movie or speak their language. It’s being able to understand the inside joke or the current events coverage. Sagittarius, more than anything, wants to participate in the conversation.

GEMINI

Gemini is always in a state of go-go-go. They are meeting people, traveling the world, learning new skills, and growing their career all at once, and to outsiders looking in, it all looks so easy. The thing about Gemini is that they never step on the brakes. They don’t procrastinate or daydream about what they could or should do tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. They apply to go back to school for their masters. They book the flight. They plan girl’s night. They book the yoga class. And even though they’re pretty much always overwhelmed and overbooked, they follow through. Learning doesn’t end for them with school, or with work, or any other milestone they reach during their lifetime. The world moves at the same pace they do, and they know how to keep up. They don’t let themselves slow down because they don’t want to get left behind. With one life to live, they know they can’t do everything, but they can absolutely make the most of it.

VIRGO

Virgo isn’t a forever learner in the sense of a willingness to be a beginner over and over again, which, in and of itself, is an unavoidable part of learning. Whenever Virgo sets out to learn something, like chess, they plan to master it. Their competitive nature means they begin every endeavor with the intention of acquiring enough knowledge and skill to trade places with the teacher one day. They speak languages fluently, would never be caught dead strumming the chords to β€œWonderwall,” and will never take you to a chain restaurant. They live to be the expert. The one others come to for advice, opinions, recommendations. They are the professor, the medical expert, the therapist, the concierge, and tour guide all wrapped into one. You want someone to proofread your text? Call a Virgo. Memorize a bunch of names and faces under extreme pressure better than Andy in The Devil Wears Prada? Child’s play for Virgo. And whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of not putting them in the accelerated class.

PISCES

Pisces needs food for thought. If they don’t have a constant stream of new information to process, their imagination will starve. It’s a symbiotic relationship in the way that books like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea come well before their time, while others like The Sun Also Rises are a product of their time. Pisces needs new ideas in order to produce original ideas of their own to share with the world, and a Pisces with nothing to mull over for days might as well not be a Pisces at all. They have a never-ending curiosity and desire to understand all things on a deeper level. Complex and sensitive topics are an invitation for them to dig deeper and look past simple facts to more clearly see the feelings connected to them. They analyze, pick apart, deconstruct, and reconstruct in a never-ending cycle that constantly reduces their ignorance and increases their insight. Pisces is soulful, but people are a science in and of themselves. You can’t just spew any new age truism to understand them. You have to collect and study data, and no one remembers this more than Pisces.
