Josephine Baker: Dancer and Serial Adopter of Multi-Cultural Children
Sun: Gemini
Ascendant: Virgo
Moon: Libra

Angelina (whose birthday is tomorrow) and Brad have a long way to go to catch up with Josephine’s Rainbow Tribe. Josephine Baker was a huge singing and dancing star in the 1920s. Born in America, she gained fame in France, where there weren’t such racial problems.

She later became a major voice in the civil rights movement, and Coretta Scott King even asked her to take over the mantel of her husband after he was assassinated. As her own personal way to fight against racism, she adopted 12 children from different cultural backgrounds.

Her adopted children were: Akio (Korean son), Janot (Japanese son), Luis (Colombian son), Jarry (Finnish son), Jean-Claude (Canadian son), Moïse (French Jewish son), Brahim (Algerian son), Marianne (French daughter), Koffi (Côte d’Ivoirean son), Mara (Venezuelan son), Noël (French son), and Stellina (Moroccan daughter).

Adopted children can be seen in the birth chart by examining the 11th house. In Josephine’s chart, she has a Venus/Neptune conjunction in this sector, showing her incredibly strong, and idealistic, love for her brood.
