What the chart says
Louis, according to the stars
The vibe
Underneath, Louis is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Louis needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Louis wants to be loved
Louis 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 Louis you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.
How Louis creates
How Louis makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Louis creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: Louis is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Louis is here to see what others cannot yet and to say it, an antenna for the mood of the moment. Intuitive, inspiring, sometimes overwhelmed by their own sensitivity, and learning to ground the vision in something real.
Triggers
Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Louis fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
Louis Néel in 15 seconds
Scorpio or Sagittarius Sun
Louis Néel 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.
Wood Dragon
Wood DragonBig energy, bigger plans.
Louis Néel was born on November 22, 1904, which falls in a Wood Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 11
Life Path 11Sees what the rest missed.
Louis Néel's birth date, November 22, 1904, reduces to Life Path 11 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 11 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with intuition, sensitivity and noticing patterns before they become obvious. Numerologists read it as an intensified 2: the partner's gifts under pressure. The corresponding tension is nervous strain, with the caution that perceiving more than most people can be exhausting to carry.
What stands out in Louis’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Louis Néel's date-only chart is Jupiter sextile Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- This chart has an even Fire/Air emphasis, with three planets in each.
Louis’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Louis Néel, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 15° to 28° Taurus 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.

Counted across the ten planets by sign.
Louis’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.
⚷ ChironCapricorn 26°10′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Capricorn is read as a wound around recognition and authority. Louis is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 6°34′ (moves 0.37° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Louis caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosScorpio 6°31′ (moves 0.79° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Louis is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaLibra 13°49′ (moves 0.37° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Louis is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 23°24′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Louis is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.
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.
- Ceres opposition Neptune 1.2°
- Eros trine Neptune 1.2°
- Hygiea trine Saturn 1.5°
- Hygiea sextile Mercury 1.7°
- Ceres conjunction Venus 1.9°
- Eros sextile Venus 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 2.3°
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°).
Louis’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. ♇ Pluto7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars6.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Jupiter; 4 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Mars; 3 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Louis is read as someone who does not do things by half and rebuilds after every ending.
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 Louis’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.

- Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn 1.0°
- Mercury quintile Mars 1.2°
- Sun semi-sextile Uranus 1.4°
- Saturn semi-square Uranus 2.0°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Louis Néel, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Louis Néel, 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
Louis’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q155781, 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 Louis Néel’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Louis Néel?
- Louis Néel 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 a Wood Dragon.
- What was Louis Néel's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Dragon, with the Wood element, from the Chinese lunar year of the November 22, 1904 birth.
- What time was Louis Néel 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 Louis Néel's Life Path number?
- Life Path 11, calculated in numerology from the November 22, 1904 birth date.
- What was Louis Néel's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Capricorn at 26°. Position from JPL Horizons for the November 22, 1904 birth date.
- Where was Louis Néel's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Pisces at 23°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Louis Néel's dominant planet?
- Pluto, on AsterNym's dominance score (7 points: rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects). Mars is second and Venus third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
