At first sight, it is not surprising that the young singer Ariana Grande has the Sun in Cancer, since she is characterised by her taste for child-like outfits. As we can see in the majority of her clips, she loves to parade as a baby doll, falsely well-behaved but rather sexy.
However, with the Ascendant in Capricorn, we may wonder if it is not simply a good strategy for conquering the public. In Grande's horoscope, this sign is more emphasised than Cancer. It shelters the Neptune-Uranus duet exactly conjunct the Ascendant cusp, thus dominant. At this point, we can put forward that Grande has an unusual and even paradoxical personality torn between contradictory impulses, between desire for protection and strong social ambitions.
One of the few common points between Cancer and Capricorn is the importance of the past and the roots. Ariana Grande often mentions her Italian, Greek, and North-African origins. She was born in Boca-Raton, a posh city of Florida, and was brought up in the respect for the tradition. Nevertheless, spurred by Uranus and Neptune, she effortlessly got away from it. The former prompted her to free herself from all fetters and to find her own path. Regarding the latter, it is clear that music touches at Grande's heartstrings, music being Neptune's preserve. His influence is also found in her style, at the same time enigmatic and very smooth in her movements when she dances.
At only 15, Grande uses her family connections to try her hand at a musical. She is immediately successful and goes to Broadway. She moves to New York, where she starts distance learning courses. Luckily, she experiences a dazzling breakthrough. She continues launching projects and reaping rewards. It must be said that her voice, particularly, enables her to make a difference. Indeed, it has a four-octave range.
Even at a very young age, Ariana Grande does not go overboard. Saturn, the ruler of her Ascendant in Pisces, keeps a weather eye out. He endows Grande with precocious maturity and rewards her work, thus contributing to provide her with a solid anchorage in this uncertain environment. However, Saturn is in tense aspect with Mars and indicates the need to overcome setbacks and maybe anxiety. The areas involved may be those of deep transformations and finances, since the 2nd and 8th Houses are activated. Because of this second duality (in addition to that between Cancer and Capricorn), she constantly wavers between the desire for action and a more cautious reserve, although her career started very quickly.
The other noticeable aspect is the tight Moon-Jupiter conjunction in Libra. As it brings about good luck and the favours of a charmed public, this feature gives her the possibility to stand out from the crowd. Unlike other people, without too many difficulties, she shifts from childhood to adulthood, encouraged by a vivid optimism.
Besides, in both the private and the professional areas, alliances and partnerships are very auspicious. She flows easily in the most select circles, such as Hollywood top people, for instance when she won the Best Artist title at the American Music Awards. On stage, she is perfectly familiar with the code of this genre, knowing how to display some slight surprise in front of so much love, and thanking her fans profusely.
Venus, not yet mentioned, backups Grande's most marked tendencies: trining the Ascendant from Taurus, Venus gives a lot of sensuality and a great appetite for life. She may expose Grande to the strength of quite violent passions, since she is facing Pluto. It is necessary to carefully follow the development of her romantic life in the future.
Currently, it is observed that, once again, Jupiter's return to his natal place, and therefore conjunct the Moon in Grande's case, has proved very profitable, since she just received a nice reward. Transiting Saturn on the North Node in Sagittarius probably triggers prospects of international development and maybe wisdom.

In any case, the transits of the forthcoming years are very promising: transiting Jupiter on Grande's Midheaven – career – in autumn 2017 is to be reckoned with. Then, Capricorn becomes very influential in 2018 (with Saturn and Pluto), and even more so in 2020, for Jupiter too will join.
Although it is impossible to make precise forecasts over such a long period, it is most likely that Grande will still live up to the public's expectations. Because her Ascendant will be particularly activated, as well as the duet of slow-moving planets Uranus and Neptune, the chances are great that she continues to be her generation's flagpole.
