Sample questions

Sample questions with answers.

From the practice pool, with the answers shown. The exam asks its own set of 40.

1. Strong and Weak Planets

   1. A client's Venus is in Virgo. How is this placement traditionally classified?

   • AExaltation
   • Fall Correct answer
   • CDomicile
   • DDetriment

   Why: Venus is exalted in Pisces, and the sign opposite a planet's exaltation is its fall, so Venus in Virgo is in fall. Venus rules Taurus and Libra, so its detriments are the opposite signs, Scorpio and Aries.

2. Cosmic Basics

   2. True or false: the twelve zodiac signs divide into three modalities — cardinal, fixed, and mutable.

   • True Correct answer
   • BFalse

   Why: Cardinal, fixed and mutable are the three modalities that group the twelve signs by how each one moves through a season.

3. Planets in Houses

   3. Which of these statements about reading a planet in a house are accurate as taught in this course? Select all that apply.

   Choose all that apply.

   • A planet's house placement tells you which life area that planet's themes will show up in most Correct answer
   • BA planet with no house placement of its own is what this course calls an 'unaspected' planet
   • Reading planet-by-house is one of two ways this course reads a single placement, alongside planet-by-sign Correct answer
   • DHouse placement replaces the need to also look at the planet's zodiac sign — you only need one or the other
   • The same planet, say Mercury, is read differently depending on whether it's in the 3rd house or the 9th house Correct answer

   Why: House placement shows where a planet's themes play out and differs by house, and the course teaches reading a placement both by sign and by house — they complement, not replace, each other; 'unaspected' describes aspects, not houses.
