Ricky Martin

Air has four of his ten planets, fire three, water two and a single one earth, and six of the ten are mutable against one fixed. Saturn alone was retrograde. The record calls Martin a Puerto Rican singer and names Livin' la Vida Loca.

Pluto is the hub of this chart and almost everything structural runs through it. Two kites close on it, a T-square closes on it, and it holds three of the six closest contacts: the Sun squares it at under a fifth of a degree, Venus sits in easy contact with it at under three tenths, and Saturn in easy contact from just over a degree out. A kite is a grand trine with one planet opposite a corner, which gives a closed figure somewhere to discharge, and two of them resting on one planet is unusual. In a singer the record fixes to one song, two kites resting on a single planet is the most structure any chart in this batch carries.

The three readings pull against each other, which is the point of printing all of them. The Sun squared by Pluto is identity in a power struggle: confrontation with authority, and periods where somebody feels they have to be entirely remade. Venus in easy contact with it is depth in relating, loyalty that survives difficulty. Saturn in easy contact with it is durable strength, rebuilding after loss and authority that was earned. One planet, three readings, and a record naming one song does not settle which of them carried.

His Moon sits at twenty seven degrees of Pisces at noon and may have crossed into Aries, so it is left out, and Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune fill seventeen degrees of Sagittarius. Jupiter came back to its Sagittarius birth degree on 17 October 2019, at forty seven, and three laps precede it. Sagittarius measures a thing by the distance it got from where it started, which for a record naming one song that travelled everywhere is almost too literal a question.
