The universe is an effervescent miracle and magical that transcends human understanding, but at least it’s kind enough to give us some hints. There are things we can see and measure, but they are vastly different from what we can only sense and feel.
Much of magic relies on the ability to perceive the unseen, to feel spiritual energy and to manipulate it. Magic lurks beneath the realms of logic and reason, where forces such as charm, life energy, and intuition reign.
Engineers and mathematicians rule the world of what we can see and measure, but if they were able to work magic, they’d be psychics and witches instead.
Here are four zodiac signs that have magic pumping from their hearts and through their veins. Being born under these signs means they inherit the vast legacy of their mystical ancestors. Magic runs in their blood.
1. Scorpio
Pluto, the dwarf planet of death, transformation, and rebirth, lurks in the solar system’s furthest and darkest reaches, three billion miles from Earth. Pluto is Scorpio’s ruler, giving this emotionally intense and spiritually dark water sign secret access to the shadow realms. More than any other sign, Scorpios can see what’s hidden and work it to their advantage—and often to the disadvantage of others. Scorpios are intuitive and wise, but also highly vindictive if they feel you deserve it. Their expertise lies in sexual spells, banishing rituals, and dark magic. Watch out, because their sting can be lethal.
2. Leo
Charisma is the most magical of all human personality traits. The word comes from the Greek kharisma, which means “divine gift.” This roaringly dynamic fire sign ruled by the Sun radiates charisma, giving them the ability to influence and change events merely by the force of their personality, which can put you under their thrall. Beware if a Leo decides to work their magic on you. You may wind up doing things you never wanted to do, but you’ll find that you can’t help it because they’re so damned charming.
3. Pisces
This deeply empathic water sign’s ruler is Neptune, the planet that guides dreams and illusions, embedding Pisces’s DNA with glimmering strands of mysticism, spirituality, intuition, and empathy. They have unparalleled psychic and predictive powers, and even from far away, they can tell when those they love are happy, sad, or in deep danger. Whether they take the form of Wizard or Witch, you’d be lucky to have a Pisces on your side and reading your astrological charts, your Tarot cards, or interpreting your dreams.
4. Cancer
Ruled by the Moon, which throughout history has been entwined with witchcraft and superstition, this intuitive water sign is finely attuned to their emotions and those of others. Don’t mistake the Crab’s hard shell for meaning they are cruel, unfeeling, or even malevolent. Instead, it means they’re protective. Their lunar-guided maternal instincts make them hyper-protective of those they love. It gives them the ability to use Moon Magic, holding rituals throughout the lunar cycle to cast protective spells and foster nurturing safe spaces.
