Samuel Johnson’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.
Samuel Johnson was born in the Year of the Ox. Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.
Remembered for his biographies, literary criticism, essays, reference works, and poems, this significant eighteenth-century English Writer is most well known for his 1755 work A Dictionary of the English Language and his 1765 annotated version of The Plays of william Shakespeare.
After briefly studying at Pembroke College, Oxford, he began writing for a London publication called The Gentleman's Magazine. His early literary works include a play titled Irene and a biographical work called Life of Mr. Richard Savage.
His well-documented repertoire of physical tics has led modern Physicians to believe that the Writer suffered from Tourette syndrome.
The son of Sarah Ford and bookseller Michael Johnson, he spent his youth in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England. In 1735, he married Elizabeth "Tetty" Jervis Porter, a widow twenty years his senior.
He is the subject of Scottish author James Boswell's acclaimed 1791 biography The Life of Samuel Johnson.
