Basen: zodiac sign and birth chart
Basen has no canon birthday. The novels, manga and anime never give one. Read from his personality, he's a Sagittarius, with Mercury and Venus there too and Leo for Moon and rising. That fits Jinshi's strong, straightforward bodyguard who takes duty very seriously and trips over his words the moment a girl talks to him.

NEBO's take
No birthday in canon. His personality says Sagittarius.
We ran Basen through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as fire first: honest, strong and completely unable to hide a feeling.

Sagittarius Venus loves with the whole heart. He is hilariously bad at hiding his feelings.
- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeAries
Aries Mars goes first. He throws himself between Jinshi and danger without hesitation.
What canon does give: a sincere man who is better with a fight than a conversation. A Sagittarius answer is to say exactly what he means, even when it comes out wrong.
