Games
Games with a real answer behind them
Five games, and every one of them has a real answer behind it. Some are computed from the sky as it is today, some mark you against facts you can check. None of them tells you something about yourself that this site cannot show its working for.
- 5 games
- 81 quiz questions
- A new sky quiz daily
- Nothing to sign up for
Where the questions come from
The same ephemeris that draws the charts, and the same data files the reference pages are written from. Nothing here is a separate question bank that can drift away from the rest of the site.

What is not here, and why
The two biggest games on the mass-market astrology sites are a magic 8-ball and a fortune cookie. Neither is here, and it is not an oversight. Every other page on this site takes something you give it and derives an answer you could go and check somewhere else. A magic 8-ball has nothing to take. It can only assert, and the moment this site starts asserting, nothing else it says is worth any more than the assertion.
That rules out less than it sounds like. A game passes here if it is computed, meaning the answer came out of the ephemeris or out of documented birth data, or if it is tested, meaning there is a right answer and you are being marked rather than diagnosed. All five above are one or the other.
If you did want a yes or no
Our tarot site does that one properly. A card drawn for a question is not pretending to be a calculation, and the reading is written out rather than generated. It is the same job done on the site where it belongs.
Every one of these is better with your chart
The sign quiz can check itself against a real chart, the guessing game is easier once you have read one, and the sky quiz is asking about the same positions your transits are calculated from. All free.
