Georges Gurdjieff is a philosopher, composer, writer born in Alexandropol (Russian Empire).
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (c. 1866–1877 – 29 October 1949) was a philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, composer, and movements teacher. Born in the Russian Empire, he briefly became a citizen of the First Republic of Armenia after its formation in 1918, but fled the impending Red Army invasion of Armenia in 1920, which rendered him stateless. In the early 1920s, he applied for British citizenship, but his application was denied. He then settled in France, where he lived and taught for the rest of his life. Gurdjieff taught that people are not conscious of themselves and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and serve our purpose as human beings. His student P. D. Ouspensky referred to Gurdjieff's teachings as the "Fourth Way".

| Birth data reliability | Reference |
Birth details come from a published reference (source: Web) and have not been checked against a birth record, so the Moon sign is usually right but the Ascendant could differ.
Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa). Exact birth time is not publicly recorded, so noon local time was used. The Moon changes Nakshatra about once a day, so the Nakshatra and Ascendant shown may differ if the true birth time is different.
Our library holds 314 writers and poets with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 30 of them (10%) have the Moon in Aquarius, like Georges Gurdjieff, and 12 (4%) share the Shatabhisha Nakshatra — the #12 most common Moon Nakshatra among writers and poets, where Shravana leads with 18 (6%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
