Capricorn Ricky Martin sure is 'Livin' La Vida Loca.' This international heartthrob has not only picked up a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance, he has also landed the top-selling hit single in the history of Columbia Records. He's set hearts aflutter the world over, including Madonna, who teamed up with Martin for a duet on his first English-language album, titled simply Ricky Martin. Ricky's career as musician and teen idol got its start when, at the age of twelve, he joined the popular all-boy band, Menudo.

After a successful five-year stint with the teen sensations, Ricky moved on to television. While a regular on a popular Mexican soap opera, Martin also pursued his career as a musician, recording his first two Spanish-language albums in 1992 and 1993. Martin moved his act to Hollywood when he landed a role on the hot daytime soap, General Hospital. A third and fourth smash-hit album followed, launching him to international fame and fortune.  What's next for this hot ticket? Let's see what the Stars have to say ...

Birth Details:

December 24, 1971

Hato Rey, Puerto Rico

Born under a Capricorn Sun, Ricky Martin is a man with a plan. The Sign of the Goat signals an ambitious and determined sort who always has long-term goals in mind. Practical and hardworking, he's persistent and driven in his efforts. He's also after a good reputation to go along with his considerable accomplishments and is organized and methodical in his climb to the top.

Menudo was just one step along the way-keep in mind that Capricorns almost always get better with age. Muy caliente!

With his Sun Square Mars, Martin's drive and determination are emphasized, marking him as an extremely competitive man's man. 'Macho' is this hot tamale's middle name. His Sun also Squares Pluto, meaning he knows his own (considerable) power (to make millions swoon, among other things).  This crowd pleaser has the ability to affect a lot of people, not only with his charming personality but also with his message. With Mercury, the Planet of Communication, in Sagittarius, his message appeals to people of different cultures. However, with his Mercury in Sag and Sun in Capricorn, he may not always say what's on his mind.
