🌙 Zodiac

Dominique Aury’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.

🌙 Chinese Zodiac Signs

Dominique Aury was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.

Dominique Aury, a French writer, translator, editor, and journalist who received the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur. She was born in 1907, abandoned at birth by her mother, and raised by her paternal grandmother.

After completing her studies she worked in publishing and translating, where she gained the respect of many prominent French intellectuals. She wrote the novel "Story of O", later adapted as The Story of O (1975) for Jean Paulhan, a member of the Academie Francaise, thirty years her senior whom, she feared, was losing interest in her after many years of their love affair.

Paulhan loved the novel, did not lose interest in her, wrote a preface for the book, and got it published simultaneously in French and English under a pen name. The book's authorship remained a secret.

Aury meanwhile continued her productive, purposeful, intellectual life, despite the firestorm of controversy her novel provoked. A sequel did not fare as well as the original novel. In 1992 Aury consented to interviews and verified her authorship of 'O", ending a guessing game that had lasted forty years.
