An independent study testing whether the birth chart predicts your personality, your values, and how you see the world, the claims astrology makes about character, put to a real test.
Your traits are measured with the Big Five, the model academic psychology actually uses. Your chart is read blind, then checked against your answers, a few of which are sensitive, and entirely optional.
Three related questions, evaluated separately, because a method can succeed at one and fail at another.
Do the elements and planets predict your personality? Astrology has always claimed to, here it's measured against the Big Five, via a standard ten-item inventory, and scored.
Read from the chartBeyond traits, your core values, your optimism, your appetite for risk, and, if you choose to share them, how you see the world.
What we askDoes your true birth chart do better than plausible incorrect ones? This isolates whether the correct data adds anything beyond common patterns.
The comparisonsThis study publishes in three phases, each one a deeper look as the data grows: a first read of the signal at 400 charts, a stronger pass with tighter estimates at 2,500, and the complete analysis at 5,000.
A first look at the data once 400 charts are in. Early signal, wide error bars, published openly.
The analysis rerun at 2,500 charts. Tighter estimates, subgroup checks, and a look at what held up from Phase 1.
The complete analysis at 5,000 charts. The final word on what this study found, hits and misses alike.
Status: the first milestone is still filling. Preliminary findings will be published right here the moment Phase 1 completes, every participant gets word when they land, and the analysis then rolls forward through the expanded and full phases as more charts arrive.
A real test. Mainstream research has mostly found astrology and personality unrelated, so this study can genuinely fail. If the chart predicts nothing here, that's a finding, and it gets published.
Standard instruments. Personality is measured with the Big Five, so the results are comparable to published psychology, not a bespoke quiz.
Sensitive answers are optional. Political and spiritual questions are yours to skip; anything shared is kept anonymous, used only in aggregate, and never sold.
