Mercury retrograde, rising signs, and all 12 zodiacs — how well do you know astrology?
The Zodiac & Astrology Quiz is a free online quiz that tests your knowledge of the zodiac with 50 questions about star signs, compatibility, and horoscope history. Over 30% of Americans believe in astrology, and astrology-related apps have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the 12 Western zodiac signs and their date ranges, ruling planets, and element groups. The quiz also covers birth chart basics like sun, moon, and rising signs, Chinese zodiac animals, the ancient Babylonian origins of astrology, famous people by sign, and the psychology behind why so many people find meaning in the stars.
The 12 Western zodiac signs in order are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign corresponds to roughly one month of the year, starting with Aries around March 21.
Your rising sign (also called the ascendant) is the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon at the exact moment and location of your birth. It is said to influence your outward personality, first impressions, and physical appearance, complementing your sun sign.
Mercury retrograde refers to the optical illusion in which Mercury appears to move backward in the sky from Earth's perspective. In astrology, it is believed to cause communication breakdowns, travel delays, and technology glitches. Astronomically, it occurs about three to four times per year.
