Astrology and Your Intelligence Level
Intelligence Level – Your current level of intelligence and the scope of its development are indicated in your birth chart.The astrological factors related to these aspects are described and also ways of improving these.

It is the ability or mental capacity or brainpower to apply reason for judgement and understanding. Knowledge and intelligence are quite different things. It is intelligence which gives depth of understanding of various concepts and ability to put acquired knowledge to the best practical use.

Knowledge’ is information of which someone is aware. Knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject, potentially with the ability to use it for a specific purpose

Wisdom’ is the ability to make correct judgments and decisions and judicious application of knowledge. It is an intangible quality gained presumably through experience.
