André Gide

André Gide (born November 22, 1869, Paris, France; died 1951), was a French author and Nobel laureate. Gide is best remembered for The Counterfeiters, The Immoralist and Strait is the Gate. Gide's honours include Nobel Prize in Literature, Goethe Plaque of the City of Frankfurt and Goethe Medal for Art and Science.

André Gide’s zodiac sign was Scorpio or Sagittarius (the Sun changed sign that day, and no documented birth time settles which), Chinese zodiac was Earth Snake, with Life Path 3 in numerology.

What sets André apart

Scarlett Johansson (1984) and Mark Ruffalo (1967) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.

What the chart says

André, according to the stars

The vibe

Underneath, André is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What André needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.

How André wants to be loved

André wants to be loved seriously. Venus in Capricorn is slow to open and then loyal for life, and it shows love by building: the plan, the future, the thing that lasts. Respect is the romance. Show André you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.

How André creates

How André makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. André creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.

Instinct

Instinct: André is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. André is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.

Triggers

Triggers: being fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. André has boundless energy for anything with a horizon in it and none for the small print. Aim them at something far away and step back.

The sky over Paris that night

Computed for 48.86°N, 9 p.m. local sky.

Overhead at Paris at 9 p.m. that evening: Schedar of Cassiopeia, within 8.7° of the exact zenith.

Vega was the brightest thing up that night, one of 100 catalog stars above the horizon.

From 48.9°N, Capella and Deneb never go below the horizon: they are circumpolar at this latitude.

Nothing below −41.1° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Paris on any night.

The Moon was at waning gibbous, 87% lit, and above the horizon, with the Sun 46° down.

Scorpio or Sagittarius Sun

André Gide was born on a day when the Sun moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.

Earth Snake

Says less than it knows.

André Gide was born on November 22, 1869, which falls in a Earth Snake year of the Chinese calendar.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out

André’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q47484 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. With no documented birth time this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. The banner above lists what that leaves out. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

Tropical zodiac, whole-sign houses, modern rulers. Aspects on the western_v1 orb policy; minor ones at 1.5° to 2.5°, skipped where a major already holds. Minor bodies from JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, Lilith as mean apogee. Dominance is an AsterNym score — rulerships, dispositors, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.

Quick answers about André Gide’s chart

What zodiac sign was André Gide?
André Gide was born on a day when the Sun moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.

The Snake, with the Earth element, from the Chinese lunar year of the November 22, 1869 birth.
What was André Gide's Life Path number?
Life Path 3, calculated in numerology.
What was André Gide's Chiron sign?
Chiron in Pisces at 29°. Position from JPL Horizons.
Where was André Gide's Black Moon Lilith?
Mean Black Moon Lilith in Aries at 9°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
What was André Gide's dominant planet?
Jupiter, on AsterNym's dominance score (9 points: rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mars, Saturn; 3 major aspects). Venus is second and Pluto third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
