For a reason, the proverb “Live, Laugh, Love” is frequently seen on home décor. Because who doesn’t enjoy (and possibly even live for) a good laugh? Laughter has been shown to improve both physical and emotional health, therefore I believe we can all agree that people with a strong sense of humor are some of the world’s MVPs. But do LOLs come from the stars? If you’re one of the funniest zodiac signs, astrology might have something to do with it.
Some signs are naturally funnier than others, but having a killer sense of humor requires more than being born on a specific day. If you want to delve deeper into the astrology of humor, study your birth chart and pay attention to a handful of crucial planets. The first planet is Mercury, which governs words, thoughts, and how we express ourselves. Mercury is related to things like humor, wordplay, and riddles, thus while Mercury also reigns over many important concerns, certain Mercury positions may indicate a sharp wit. Jupiter is another planet to look into because it governs everything from partying to being hopeful and feeling cheery.
Every zodiac sign has its style of expressing comedy, which means that there are no signs that are doomed to make people laugh. Are some of your pals more likely to persuade you to use the infamous laughing-crying emoji without irony? And could their ability to make you laugh be related to their astrological sign? Here are the funniest astrological signs for you to try and figure out.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries are impetuous, fun-loving fire signs with a major goofy streak, and their crazy sense of humor makes them one of the zodiac’s funniest signs. Aries’ strong suit is physical humor, thus they have no qualms about boisterously playing out a joke or making funny expressions to elicit a laugh. If you’re feeling down or in need of a boost, Aries love to play around and can even be a little mischievous, so you can always count on them to cheer you up and get your laughter flowing.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Geminis are dominated by Mercury, the smart and communicative planet, which explains why they are so witty and sharp-tongued. Geminis thrive at absorbing details about their surroundings and processing information at a rapid pace, which contributes to their sharp and observant sense of humor. Geminis are born tricksters and wordsmiths, so their never-ending arsenal of humorous puns, challenging riddles, and clever punchlines will keep their pals amused.
Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)
Because Leos are born entertainers who enjoy being the center of attention, making others laugh and lighting up a room with their humor comes easy to them. These sociable fire signs are ruled by the glittering and creative sun (aka the core of our solar system), which contributes to their warm and generous demeanor. Leos are natural entertainers who enjoy stealing the show with their good-natured jokes, thus they usually have a beautifully amusing social media presence and make excellent comedians.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, one of the planets most strongly associated with comedy, so it’s no surprise that these upbeat fire signs are among the funniest in the zodiac. Because Sagittarians are global and adventurous, they frequently have a plethora of amusing stories to tell about their trips and adventures. They’re also not hesitant to speak what’s on their mind, so even if their sense of humor is crass or unpleasant, they’ll get a lot of laughs, and their good nature will eventually shine through.
