FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us most about the test, astrology, the Enneagram and your data.

The test

How long does the test take?

Two to three minutes: a few seconds for your birth date, time and city, then about ten questions. A longer, optional questionnaire then refines your Enneagram type and reveals your tritype.

I don't know my birth time. Is that a problem?

No. Your sun sign stays reliable: without a time, the calculation uses noon and the error on the Sun's position stays under half a degree. Only the ascendant needs the exact time, since it changes about every two hours. Birth certificates usually record it.

Why does my type change when I retake the test?

A short questionnaire measures a tendency, not a fixed truth. When two types are neck and neck, one answer can tip the result. Read the portraits of your top types: the one describing your deep motivations, more than your behaviour, is often the right one.

Is the test free?

Yes, entirely: no account, no ads and no payment. The site is a personal project.

Astrology

Is astrology scientific?

No. The positions of the planets are computed with precise astronomical methods, but no study has shown that they influence personality. AstroGramme offers astrology as a symbolic language to reflect on yourself, not as a prediction.

Our calculations and their limits →
Does my sign match the constellation?

Not anymore. Signs split the sky into twelve equal parts starting from the spring equinox. Because of precession, the constellations of the same name have drifted by about one sign in two thousand years. Western astrology follows the seasons, not the constellations.

What about the thirteenth sign, Ophiuchus?

The Sun does cross the constellation Ophiuchus, but the zodiac of signs has twelve 30° sectors tied to the seasons. Ophiuchus is not one of them, so it does not change your sign.

I was born on the edge of two signs. Which one is mine?

The Sun changes sign at a precise moment, which varies from year to year. With your date, time and place, the calculation settles it. Without a time, both possible signs are shown on the day of the change.

Enneagram

What is the Enneagram?

A model of personality with nine types, each built around a core motivation and fear. It also describes paths: where you grow, and where you tense up under stress.

Is the Enneagram scientifically validated?

Partly at best. A few studies find links with established models such as the Big Five, but the Enneagram is not a validated psychometric tool. Take it as a lens to observe yourself, not as a diagnosis.

Can your type change?

According to the theory, your core type stays the same for life; what changes is how you live it. Over time, you draw more on the qualities of your growth arrow and get less caught in your automatic habits.

Does my Enneagram type depend on my sign?

No, the two are computed independently: the sign comes from your birth date, the type from your answers. The synthesis brings them into dialogue, giving a reading specific to each combination.

Your data

Is my birth data sent anywhere?

No. Calculations run in your browser and, by default, everything disappears when you close the tab. Only the city name you type goes through our server, to find its coordinates. The site uses no cookies, no analytics and no ads.

How do I find my result again later?

Create your private link from the result page: it reopens your card at any time. If you received it by e-mail and lost it, the “Find my card” page sends it again.

How do I delete my saved card?

Open your private link and use the “Delete” button: deletion is immediate and permanent. A save that has not been opened for two years is also deleted automatically.
