Birth data: 2004-01-04, 15:00, Le Chesnay (now Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt), Yvelines, France; Rodden rating AA*.

Victor Wembanyama was born on January 4, 2004, at 3:00 p.m. in Le Chesnay, just outside Paris. The time is known, so the chart has houses and angles: a Gemini Ascendant and an Aquarius MC. What stands out is a cardinal T-square of the Sun, Saturn and Mars and a very exact earth triangle of Jupiter, Chiron and the North Node.

## What is known and what is not

The date, January 4, 2004, is given by his NBA.com player profile, Wikidata and both astrology databases, with no disagreement. The place is Le Chesnay in the Yvelines department. On January 1, 2019, the commune merged with Rocquencourt, so newer sources write Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt. The Spurs draft release also calls him a Le Chesnay native. No source names the maternity hospital, so the coordinates are those of the centre of Le Chesnay.

The 3:00 p.m. time appears in Astro-Databank and Astrotheme, and both go back to one collector, Marc Brun, who quoted the birth certificate. No copy of the document has been published. The databases rate it AA; under our methodology it gets a [Rodden rating](/en/methodology#rodden) of AA*, a birth record held by a data collector. We found no other version of the time.

The chart is cast for 15:00 Central European Time (UTC+1), which France observed in January 2004. There was no daylight saving time in winter.

## Ascendant and Moon in Gemini

The Ascendant is at 15°22′ Gemini. The Moon is in the same sign, at 9°50′ Gemini in the 12th house, and it falls exactly on the degree of [Aldebaran](/en/fixed-stars/aldebaran), the bright star in the constellation of Taurus. Tradition links a Gemini Ascendant with mobility, quick reactions and curiosity, and a Moon in this sign with a need for variety.

The Moon has harmonious aspects to Mars and Neptune. The Moon sextiles Mars at 11°20′ Aries with an orb of 1°30′, and the Moon trines Neptune at 11°48′ Aquarius with an orb of 1°58′. The closest link in this trio is Mars sextile Neptune, orb 0°27′. All three are in air and fire signs. Astrologers read the [sextile](/en/aspects/sextile) as an angle that gives movement without resistance, so this trio adds ease and imagination to the drive of Mars.

## A cardinal T-square with Mars at the apex

The Sun at 13°32′ Capricorn in the 8th house opposes a retrograde Saturn at 9°27′ Cancer in the 2nd house, orb 4°05′. Mars in Aries in the 11th house squares Saturn with an orb of 1°53′ and squares the Sun with an orb of 2°11′. Together this is a [T-square](/en/aspects/patterns/t-square) in the cardinal cross, with Mars in its own sign at the apex.

Tradition links the cardinal signs with initiative and the wish to move first. In the classical reading a Sun-Saturn opposition speaks of responsibility and long discipline, and the tension of a T-square looks for an outlet through the planet at the apex. Classical astrology counts Mars strong in Aries: direct action, a fast start, competition as a natural state.

## An earth triangle: Jupiter, Chiron and the Node

Jupiter at 18°54′ Virgo, retrograde but almost stationary, in the 5th house trines Chiron at 18°48′ Capricorn, orb 0°05′. That is the tightest aspect in the whole chart. Jupiter trines the North Node at 19°15′ Taurus with an orb of 0°21′, and the Node trines Chiron with an orb of 0°27′. All three points are in earth signs and on almost the same degree.

If Chiron and the Node are counted, this is a [grand trine](/en/aspects/patterns/grand-trine) in earth. Many astrologers leave these points out of patterns, which is why the chart's pattern list shows only the T-square. Tradition considers the [trine](/en/aspects/trine) the easiest aspect and links the earth signs with patience and practical work. The 5th house, where Jupiter sits, describes play and creativity in the classical scheme.

## MC in Aquarius

The MC is at 13°11′ Aquarius, and the 10th house holds Venus at 17°36′ Aquarius and Uranus at 0°13′ Pisces. Neptune at 11°48′ Aquarius is close to the MC but still in the 9th house. Tradition links the 10th house with public role and reputation, and Aquarius with an unusual, self-chosen path.
