Frequently Asked Questions
How does this quiz work?
Each answer is tagged to one of the four elements (fire, earth, air, water) or one of the three modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable). Your most-picked element and most-picked modality are combined - each of the 12 zodiac signs is a unique element-modality pairing, so your combination points to exactly one sign.
Is this the same as my real zodiac sign?
Not necessarily - your actual sun sign is fixed by your birth date. This quiz matches your temperament to the sign that shares its traditional traits, which may or may not be the sign you were born under. Use the birth chart calculator to find your real sun, moon, and rising sign.
Why only 9 questions?
Nine is enough to get a clear read on both axes - five questions lean toward the four elements and four lean toward the three modalities - without turning a fun five-minute quiz into a long survey.
Is my quiz data saved anywhere?
No. The quiz runs entirely in your browser and nothing about your answers is sent anywhere or stored, other than briefly in the page itself while you have it open.
