Portrait of André Gide

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), and in the Chinese zodiac they were an Earth Snake, with Life Path 3 in numerology.

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.

André Gide in 15 seconds

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. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.

Life Path 3

Makes feelings into something.

André Gide's birth date, November 22, 1869, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.

André’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for André Gide, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 0° to 13° Cancer depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.

No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

  • stableVenustrinePluto0.0° to 1.0° orb

    André’s affections flow straight into their depths. A talent so smooth it can go unnoticed.

  • stableSaturntrineNeptune0.2° to 0.3° orb

    André’s discipline flows straight into their imagination. Effortless, which is exactly why it gets taken for granted.

  • stableVenussquareNeptune0.3° to 1.4° orb

    André’s affections grind against their imagination. The friction is lifelong. Worked with, it builds real strength.

  • stableMercuryoppositionPluto0.9° to 2.5° orb

    André’s mind pulls against their depths from across the wheel. A see-saw looking for balance, often played out through other people.

    André’s affections flow straight into their growth.

  • stableMercurysextileVenus2.0° to 2.4° orb

André’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith

Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.

  • ⚷ Chiron ℞Pisces 29°37′ (moves 0.02° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has André absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.

  • ⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 25°13′ (moves 0.23° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. André is read as someone who shows care by providing.

  • ♡ ErosSagittarius 2°16′ (moves 0.68° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has André attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.

  • ⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 26°20′ (moves 0.16° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has André needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 9°20′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has André carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Hygiea opposition Mars 0.5°
  • Chiron trine Sun 0.7°
  • Eros conjunction Sun 2.0°

Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).

André’s dominant planets

Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.

  1. 1. ♃ Jupiter9 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mars, Saturn; 3 major aspects

  2. 2. ♀ Venus7 pts

    disposes Jupiter, Pluto; 5 major aspects

  3. 3. ♇ Pluto5 pts

    disposes Mercury; 4 major aspects

A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: André is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.

How the score is built
  • Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
  • Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
  • Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
  • Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
  • Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.

Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.

Configurations in André’s chart

Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.

  • stellium, the shape it makesStellium in Sagittarius · Sun, Mars, SaturnThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
  • t square, the shape it makesT-square onto Neptune · Venus, Uranus, NeptuneAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.

Minor aspects

semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.

  • Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 0.4°
  • Saturn quincunx Pluto 0.6°
  • Sun semi-square Venus 1.0°
  • Mercury semi-sextile Saturn 1.1°
  • Venus semi-sextile Saturn 1.1°
  • Mercury quincunx Neptune 1.4°
  • Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune 1.9°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for André Gide, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for André Gide, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.

Where this data comes from

André’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q47484, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

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. In the Chinese zodiac they were an Earth Snake.
What was André Gide's Chinese zodiac animal?
The Snake, with the Earth element, from the Chinese lunar year of the November 22, 1869 birth.
What time was André Gide born?
No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
What was André Gide's Life Path number?
Life Path 3, calculated in numerology from the November 22, 1869 birth date.
What was André Gide's Chiron sign?
Chiron in Pisces at 29°. Position from JPL Horizons for the November 22, 1869 birth date.
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.
