Jean De la Fontaine’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Jean De la Fontaine was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
Seventeenth-century French poet and fabulist who is best known for his Contes and Fables. He also published a 1669 novel entitled Les amours de Psyche et de Cupidon.
He studied religion and law before finding his true vocation as a Writer.
His life story was told in a 2007 French film -- Jean de La Fontaine - le defi -- that starred Lorant Deutsch.
He had an arranged marriage with Marie Hericart. He and Hericart had one son, but lived apart for most of their lives.
He was, according to the author Flaubert, the only French Writer before Victor Hugo to fully master the poetic use of the French language.
