Everyone has a nerdy side. Certain zodiac signs are highly likely to be nerds, while others are only occasional nerds.

Hardcore nerd culture is not for everyone. Those who are into it, though. They live and breathe fandoms.

Read on to find out which zodiac signs are most to least nerdy.

1. Aquarius

Aquarius is into anything unusual.

Mainstream makes Aquarius turn up their nose. But give them a topic that is off the wall and unique and they will turn into a giddy child.

They are likely in multiple fandoms and enjoy nerd culture. Aquarius used to pretend they were their favorite characters. It made other kids think they were weird.

Aquarius was likely put down or shamed for enjoying their nerdy hobbies. But they didn’t care. Unlike other zodiac signs who may bend to peer pressure, Aquarius isn’t going to give up what they love based on other’s opinions of them.

2. Virgo

Virgo is not only smart, they love their nerd culture.

Virgo was and still is into Harry Potter and other big pop culture classics. They idolize fictional characters with who they connected deeply.

As a gifted child type, Virgo was prone to being praised for their achievements. Adults may not have always understood Virgo’s love of fiction as they were realists in everyday life.

This unintentional pressure from parents could have pushed Virgo deeper into fandom and nerd culture as a means of escaping real life. Not that they have anything against it. Virgo just prefers the fictional worlds.

3. Gemini

Gemini is the friend who has managed to be in every fandom ever.

The ultimate nerd, Gemini has watched every show, read every book, cosplays, and wrote a massive fanfiction collection on the side.

When Gemini goes hardcore nerd, they are obsessive. But they’re still Gemini, so if they aren’t watching ten shows at once, are they even trying?

Gemini was the friend in school who could dominate a conversation about any nerdy topic. From DnD to chick flick movies, nothing was off-limits.

Gemini knows their nerd culture, and they will talk your ear off about it.

4. Pisces

Pisces is an artistic nerd.

They were probably on DeviantArt as a top artist in their teen years. Pisces wowed their peers with stunning fan art. They could match any art style perfectly, and likely illustrated their own comics for a time.

Nerd culture is an ideal place to find Pisces. They are all about fantasy and living in their heads. Fandom and escaping into other worlds is Pisces’ favorite pastime.

Pisces is also likely to be amazing at cosplay. From costume design to make-up, they can transform themselves into living versions of their favorite characters.

5. Taurus

Taurus never misses a new episode of their favorite show.

An extremely loyal fan, Taurus will follow every series to completion. Even if it takes decades.

Taurus has a few nerdy things they are forever obsessed with. A certain book series will always be their favorite. They will have every version of said book ever released. Or every special edition of a movie.

Taurus is determined to know everything about their favorite story world. They may even write fanfiction or run a blog about it.

Once Taurus has latched onto their favorite nerd culture thing, that’s it for life.

6. Aries

Aries finds nerd culture exciting.

There are so many options to choose from, Aries is like a kid in a candy shop. They sample a bit of everything but probably have a million unfinished tv shows, movies, and books.

Aries can talk about any fandom with excitement. But they will also be covering their ears when others talk about spoilers they will never get to.

Aries tried writing fanfiction, doing cosplay, running a fan site, drawing art. None ever stuck. That doesn’t stop Aries from finding a new fandom to try doing all those things over again.

Even if they never finish anything, Aries is happy being a part of every fandom.

7. Scorpio

Scorpio is an all-or-nothing nerd.

It depends on if they can really, really relate to the story and characters.

Scorpio is likely to turn their nose up at mainstream series, or completely obsess over them. There is no in-between.

Like with everything, Scorpio is all in or all out. They know what they like and what they’d rather avoid.

Nerd culture can provide a good escape for Scorpio when reality gets intense. They can turn to their fandom for emotional support and metaphors.

Scorpio is likely to see themselves and their problems reflected in their favorite stories. It helps them cope with real-life to see fictional versions of themselves triumphing.

8. Capricorn

Capricorn is a casual nerd.

They enjoy the mainstream fandoms like Marvel, Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings. But don’t tend to look beyond that.

Capricorn is a practical zodiac sign. If hobby-type interests aren’t easily accessible they aren’t interested. Capricorn probably won’t go looking for new fandoms to join just for fun like other signs.

Capricorn may surprise others with their cosplay talents though. If they are going to participate in fandom, they are going to do it right.

9. Sagittarius

For adventurous as Sagittarius is, they prefer the real world.

Not that Sagittarius doesn’t enjoy dabbling in the nerd world. They do, but not as much as others.

Sagittarius wants to be on the go and this isn’t aligned with obsessive tv watching. They can enjoy evening movies or casual tv shows. But diving deep into fandoms gets a little too intense for them.

Sagittarius wants to do things that give them real-world opportunities. And without hardcore nerd culture obsession, a fandom probably won’t get them where they want to go.

10. Cancer

Cancer enjoyed cartoons as a child.

They played pretend as their favorite characters and dressed up as them for Halloween. But then they grew up and found it silly.

Cancer can find better things to do than being sucked into nerd culture. They would rather work on their home or spend time with friends and family.

If Cancer picks up a book, it will be light or nonfiction. They simply have other priorities than sinking deep into a fandom.

11. Libra

Libra could be very good at cosplay. But they would rather spend time socializing over real-world things.

Libra enjoys dramas and slice of life type tv shows, movies, and maybe books. They might even be inspired by those stories to start a blog or dress a certain way.

But they rarely participate in hardcore nerd culture or fandom scenes.

Libra wants to spend their time in reality. They want to debate real topics and mediate problems more than discuss a fictional world.

12. Leo

Leo is more concerned with what they can do to better themselves than worried about the latest episode.

Unless it’s a reality tv show. Then they are all in. But that isn’t exactly nerd culture as much as celebrity worship.

As good a make-up guru as Leo is, they generally aren’t interested in cosplay despite how good they’d be at it. They would rather scope out fashion week and watch YouTube make-up tutorials than watch a fantasy tv show.

Even when Leo finds a fandom they can enjoy, it is a very casual relationship.
