Unfortunately, I believe astrology is very white-centric and I would like to showcase some iconic and influential black people, along with their signs. There are so many more to go along with each sign, but I just included some of my favorite people in them, but feel free to name a person with their sign and I'll add them to the list! I am also going to be doing this with rising/ascendent signs later.Aries: Billie Holiday, Dianna Ross, Aretha Franklin, Maya Angelou, Kandysce McClure, Reggie Watts Taurus: Janet Jackson, “The Rock” Dwayne Johnson, Malcolm X, Stevie Wonder, James Brown Gemini: Tupac Shaku (2Pac),Gladys Knight, Naomi Campbell, Laverne Cox Cancer: Nelson Mandela, Solange Knowles, Kevin Hart, Missy Elliot, Mike Tyson Leo: Barack Obama, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, Usain Bolt, Magic Johnson Virgo: Beyonce, Kobe Bryant, Taraji P. Henson, Zendaya, Michael Jackson Libra: Will Smith, Usher, Serena Williams, Ray Charles Scorpio: Drake, Whoopi Goldberg, Ciara, Frank Ocean, Drake Sagittarius: Tina Turner, Nicki Minaj, Tyra Banks, Jimi Hendrix, Jennifer Beals, Michael Clarke Duncan Capricorn: John Legend, Muhammed Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., Denzel Washington, Kahlil Gibran Aquarius: Alicia Keys, Oprah Winfrey, Jackie Robinson, Bob Marley, Michael Jordan, Tinashe Pisces: Smokey Robinson, Queen Latifah, Rihanna, Shaquille O’Neil “Shaq” ------------------

Cool topic. I'll try to do some research too. Kind of related, I was looking for asteroids named after activists and I found one called Tubman and another called Rosaparks. But none for Gandhi, King, Mandela or Lincoln! There are at least a couple I associate with Black writers, Ellison for one. Maybe a couple for feminist icons? Dang. I shouldn't have deleted my list.IP: Logged |

Thank you! Research is always appreciated. Hmm, I'm going to go look up those asteroids and get their numbers. It would be a nice tidbit for this thread, also I'm sad that those great people don't have asteroids named after them but irrelevant things become asteroids left and right ------------------

This must be based on "how people appear based on their chart." I can't see it being anything else. So with that in mind, here are some entertainers not listed who really captivate me (and thus make me curious about anything astrological going on):Aries (barely) Kandyse McClure. Sag (close to Cappie) Jennifer Beals (no matter how she looks, no matter how I feel about whatever character she's portraying, her eyes just mesmerize me!) And I've been curious about this Cappie guy who used to work security and generally plays bad ***** in films, but has such a "teddy bear vibe" to me: Michael Duncan. Note, this is just "black individual," I could add others. (And I'll probably think of more later.) IP: Logged |

I just did some of my favorite people, while Magic Johnson is incredible, I'm not a big fan of Mike Tyson ------------------

He's a scorpio sun and cancer moon. Maybe that's why he first got so upset when people were making fun of his Hotline Bling dancing. IP: Logged |

Kahlil Gibran was a Capricorn. Gonna add more in a few minutes, as I can look up people you haven't already mentioned. I believe Reggie Watts is an Aries, but I'll double-check. Yep, Aries. Perhaps not as influential as some, but intelligent and influential for a lot of people. It probably goes without saying that Michael Jackson was a Virgo, and Oprah is an Aquarius. Not my two favorite people, but whatever. They changed everyone's life in the US, at any rate. And probably around the world (at least Michael did). James Brown was a Taurus (same Birth Day as my ex).

I didn't know that Kahlil Gibran was black. I thought he was Lebanese. IP: Logged |

Yes, Kahlil Gibran was Lebanese, and not black. I was initially just thinking of not being white-centric when I posted that. IP: Logged |

Oops Violet. I want to ask you all, do you think we should open this up to all races that are not white ie. Latinx, Asian, Middle Eastern?------------------

I thought it could be a good idea, but it's your thread, so I think that's your call.  I was going to start including people as such, but I wanted to wait before I did. There are so many wonderful people out there to list!  IP: Logged |

I think I'm going to start a new thread for that. I think with all that's been going on in the USA lately that black people need their own visibility. I'm going to start the new thread right now though if you want to look for it! ------------------

I agree. I didn't want to detract from what you were doing with this thread, but there are so many people to list, lol. I think another thread is a great idea.  IP: Logged |
