Ketu Mahadasha (1939 - 1946) Birth and early signs of gigantism: André was born in May 1946, just a few months before the end of his Ketu period. Ketu is associated with unusual traits, spiritual development, and detachment. Though he was very young, the initial signs of his gigantism likely manifested during this period, as Ketu's influence can lead to unconventional physical traits.

Venus Mahadasha (1946 - 1966) Early signs of gigantism: By the age of 12, during this Venus cycle, André had already grown to 6 feet 3 inches and weighed 200 pounds. Venus is associated with growth, beauty, and physical development. This is further emphasized as Venus rules Bharani nakshatra, where his Lagna Lord Mercury is positioned, amplifying his physical presence. Move to Paris and wrestling training: Toward the end of this Venus cycle, André moved to Paris and started training to become a professional wrestler. The Venus-Ketu sub-period marks a significant transformation as Ketu can represent a shift in one’s life path.

Sun Mahadasha (1966 - 1972) Start of wrestling career: The Sun represents leadership, fame, and recognition, making this Mahadasha the beginning of André's wrestling career. His rise in the world of professional wrestling during this period, coupled with his enormous size, set him on a path to global recognition. The Sun also rules over vitality and strength, which was evident in his physical prowess.

Moon Mahadasha (1972 - 1982) Fame and public recognition: Moon governs public life, fame, and emotional impact. André joined the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) in the early 1970s, soon after starting his Moon cycle. His feuds with Hulk Hogan and global recognition grew during this time. Moon’s placement in his chart likely brought mass appeal, making him a wrestling icon during the 1970s. Achievements: In 1988, towards the end of his Moon period, André won the WWF Championship, cementing his legendary status in wrestling. Moon in the 10th house could explain his connection with fame and public recognition.

Mars Mahadasha (1982 - 1989) Film career and continued wrestling fame: Mars governs action, strength, and athletic achievements. During this period, André starred in The Princess Bride (1987) as Fezzik, during the Mars-Ketu sub-period, which signifies film roles. Ketu's association with films and Mars' connection to fame in his 11th house of awards helped him gain recognition beyond wrestling. Wrestling legacy: His Mars cycle also activated his 10th house of career, where Saturn, the karaka (significator) of work, is present. Saturn in Gemini (ruled by Mercury) links to his work as a wrestler and actor, enhancing his long-lasting legacy.

Rahu Mahadasha (1989 - 2007) Decline in health and legacy: As Rahu began, André’s health started to deteriorate due to his gigantism, which led to complications. Rahu is known for amplifying issues related to material excess and physical imbalances Passing and Hall of Fame induction: André passed away in 1993, during his Rahu-Jupiter period. Jupiter, exalted in his ascendant, signifies a grand legacy, and soon after his death, he was inducted into the WWF Hall of Fame, leaving an eternal impact on the world of wrestling.
