Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande meets the world behind the Capricorn mask, the old soul who walks out the front door composed and self-possessed, the crocodile who waits and quietly claims the boss position. Yet the heart behind that stoic avatar is pure water: her Sun shines in Cancer, my most emotional Sun, here to shine as a nurturer regardless of gender, guarding a soft and sentimental core inside the crab's shell. That Sun sits in the sixth house, the Lion King of everyday duty, where the soul shines through relentless work, craft and discipline; not having something to master can feel like not existing. It shows. From child performer in Broadway's 13 and Nickelodeon's Victorious, she built a four-octave instrument into one of the best-selling careers in music, past 85 million records, with albums Thank U, Next and Sweetener, and records too many to count.

Her Moon in Libra is my beautiful Moon, Venusian and fair, finding peace through harmony and love; seated in the ninth house of higher horizons and belief, her mind is fed by big questions and far-off things. A tender Cancer heart, a diplomat's Moon, dressed in Capricorn's patient armour, she turned private heartbreak into some of pop's most enduring songs.
