Ricky Martin

Ricky Martin is one of those souls who seems to have arrived already knowing how to work. Born in San Juan on 24 December 1971, he carries the Sun in Capricorn, the Saturn-ruled climber, an old-soul type who organises a whole identity around craft, reputation and the patient ascent to the top rung of the ladder. That Sun sits in the seventh house, so he shines through the other person; his light goes on in partnership, in duet, in the crowd he unites, and you can feel it in how he turns a stadium into one shared body. He began early, a child of television commercials at nine and a member of Menudo at twelve, then a solo climb from Latin balladry into the electric "Livin' la Vida Loca" that opened the door for the whole Latin explosion.

His Moon in Pisces is the ultimate empath, a sponge of a moon tuned to spirit and to feeling, and it sits in the tenth house, the throne of the chart, where the whole world sees your heart. So he could never hide the tenderness; he fed it back to the masses as music, and later as activism for LGBT rights and against human trafficking. With Gemini rising, the quicksilver messenger, he walks in as the versatile communicator who carries the song from here to everywhere. Old soul, open heart, restless mask: the King of Latin Pop.
