Medhi Benatia’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Medhi Benatia was born in Courcouronnes, France, on 17 April 1987, a Friday. Their zodiac sign is Aries, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Medhi turns 39 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Medhi, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is six fire, two water, one earth and one air. By modality the count is five mutable, four cardinal and one fixed. Aries holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Saturn and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Uranus: a trine, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 17 April, among them Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Garner and William Holden.

Medhi Benatia’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 26° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Medhi Benatia that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Medhi, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Courcouronnes, France, at each hour of the day.
Medhi Benatia’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 17 April 1987, computed for Courcouronnes, France.

Medhi Benatia’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Medhi Benatia’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Medhi Benatia's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Medhi edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Medhi thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Medhi probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
With Mars in Gemini, Medhi is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Aries
10° Aries 58' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Medhi's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Medhi is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Sagittarius
26° Sagittarius 36' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Medhi than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Capricorn
7° Capricorn 59' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Medhi and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
8° Scorpio 55' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Medhi's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Medhi Benatia’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun trine Uranus
about 0.3° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Medhi Benatia's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 0.4° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Medhi, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Mercury square Neptune
about 0.6° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Medhi is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Venus square Saturn
about 2.7° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Medhi that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Venus square Uranus
about 2.9° at midday
In Medhi's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 3.0° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Medhi the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
