Yes, some sportspeople are Venusian. Indeed, Venus and sport are not incompatible! A proof? Tony Parker, in many respects: his Taurus Sun sign, his Libra Ascendant, and the very position of the planet. His quiet, nice, and poised manners, as well as his thoughtfulness for his team-mates, are the marks of this planet.
However, in this case, it is not a classical Venus. She is posited in Aries, opposed to the sign she rules (i.e. Libra), but in her field of activity, namely that of marriage. Therefore, we start to sense the dilemmas she brings about. On the one hand, it is vital for Tony Parker to be loved and to seduce. On the other hand, he is not as spontaneous as he would like to. The most notable configuration in his natal chart, which concerns Venus again, is undoubtedly the opposition she forms with Saturn, precisely on the relationship axis (1st – 7th Houses). Expressing feelings is not easy with this position, even with a great deal of good will. Roughly, it is as if he had to undergo a series of sacrifices and delays before he can eventually move to the next stage, regardless of the nature of his commitment (private or professional). Therefore, it is not surprising that he mentioned that, between 2001 and 2012, he felt utterly lonely. It was a thoroughly pondered choice, since he decided to emigrate for career reasons. But in 2007, he also married Eva Longaria. A celebrity with the Sun in Pisces, the sign sheltering his Moon, and strongly influenced by Aries. In a word, a typical profile to attract him because, to begin with, she is slightly older than him, a frequent fact with Venus-Saturn links, but also because she probably captivated him then finally pushed him away. Thus, he was very lonely in this marriage, a situation matching the nature of this configuration.
Let's get back to his athletic assets. A big fellow, impressive, powerful, ready to make sacrifices and efforts in order to make the most of his natural skills. Could it be due to other influences, such as the 1st House (the Self), tenanted by slow-moving planets, i.e. Saturn, but also Pluto, and Jupiter? His vocation certainly blessed him with the ability to make the difference and to achieve material affluence. He deals with it with the courteous smile which is proper to a Venusian who only keeps the good aspect of things...
If there was a need to identify an additional analysis axis, it would be the potential for speed and virtuosity. This appears clearly with the Sun-Uranus opposition. The latter supports the Ascendant, and blends the quiet strength of Taurus with the fire of Uranus (Sagittarius). As far as Mars is concerned, conjunct the Ascendant but already in the 12th House – a hidden house – it shows the drive and the controlled aggressiveness of this engaging champion.
Is it possible to see the brilliant achievements of the European basket competitions which ended on 22 September 2013? What is obvious is Jupiter transiting the House of career, which endowed Tony Parker with the qualities of a game leader. Moreover, there was a propitious environment: the Sun was moving towards the Ascendant, the Moon was transiting Taurus, which enabled him to literally galvanise the French team. It also seems that Mercury transiting his stellium in Libra (a phenomenon occurring once a year), but this time strengthened by a sextile from Mars, the planet of sports, also played an instrumental role.

However, that was no mean feat, because Tony Parker was hit by a square by Uranus, this planet getting closer and closer to his natal Venus, and by Pluto hovering on his IC. Hidden transformations are probably at work, even though he does not mention them. May be he is more upset than he shows, since his private life is in disruption? Henceforth, he lives with a French woman and has put "Longoria and other flirts" behind. Nonetheless, the first months of 2014 seem quite hectic, at least as far as the transits on the angular Houses and his stellium in Libra are concerned.
On the other hand, his secondary progressions are positive. It is interesting to note that Mars already activated the cusp of his Ascendant when he was 24-25 years old, the age when he exploded in NBA. Since then, the planet guarantees top victories! In the course of 2013 and 2014, the progressed Moon in Taurus also promises well-being and inner calm, which will enable him to take up challenges in complete serenity.
