Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to Western astrology, which planet is exalted in Aquarius?

Answer: None

The term 'exalt' means that a planet has a more significant influence in the chart from a particular sign, but it is not the sign that the planet rules. Currently, no planet is exalted in Aquarius.

2. Which of the four elements deals with intellectuality and communication?

Answer: Air

In Western astrology, every sign is given an element. The air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) deal with the mind and social interaction. The fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) deal with extroversion and enthusiasm. The water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) deal with emotion and intuition. The earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) deal with practicality and stability.

3. Of the aspects listed below, which one is the most positive?

Answer: Trine

A trine is when two planets are 120 degrees apart from each other in the birth chart. This indicates harmony between them. A sextile (60 degrees) is also positive, but is much weaker and can be overpowered by othe aspects in the chart. Squares (90 degrees) and oppositions (180 degrees) are negative aspects.

4. In Western astrology, the astrological New Year begins on the twenty-first of which month?

Answer: March

The astrological New Year begins on the first day of the Aries month - the first sign in the zodiac.

5. What part of a birth chart is also known as the 'Medium Coeli'?

Answer: Midheaven

The Midheaven or 'MC' represents the ambitions and aspirations of an individual. Western astrologers often use this to give advice and suggestions on career and status issues.

6. Which house deals with the home and family issues in a birth chart?

Answer: Fourth

A 'house' is a thirty degree interval in a birth chart. There are twelve of them in the chart, each one corresponding to different parts of our lives and how we respond to them.

7. From which of the following signs will Venus have the most influence?

Answer: Taurus

Venus is exalted in Pisces, but has a stronger effect in Taurus as it rules the sign.

8. Which one of the following pairs of signs and ruling planets is incorrectly matched?

Answer: Venus and Pisces

Venus is exalted in Pisces, but does not rule it. Pisces is ruled by Neptune (in modern astrology) and Jupiter (in traditional astrology). For those of you who chose the 'Scorpio and Mars' option, Mars is the traditional ruler of Scorpio, with Pluto being its modern ruler.

9. The branch of astrology dealing with the comparison of two birth charts to see how people get along with each other (especially in a romantic sense) is called ______.

Answer: Synastry

In synastry, astrologers often look at how the planets and the birth chart of one person makes aspects with the other (eg. A's Moon opposes B's Mercury)to see how the relationship functions.

10. The Sun's fall is in Capricorn. True or False?

Answer: False

'Fall' is the opposite of 'exalt'. This means that a planet has less effect in a sign that is opposite to its exaltation sign. The Sun is exalted in Aries, which means its fall is in Libra (opposite Aries in the zodiac), not Capricorn.
