Another Baby for Angelina?

The proverbial mill is abuzz with rumors that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will adopt a fourth child in India, where they are currently filming, or perhaps even have another biological child.

Jupiter entered Angelina's 5th house of offspring on October 24. Associated with both expansion and good fortune, Jupiter can augur a pregnancy when it moves to this house. With the number of planets in Scorpio about to pass through Angie's 5th house in the next month, this area of her life will be strongly highlighted; if she doesn't already have the overpowering urge for another child, she will soon.

Given the immediacy of the transits through Angelina's 5th house, and the Scorpio emphasis suggestive of power machinations and negotiations, my guess would be that an adoption, not a biological birth, is in the works. Angelina and Brad may be working behind the scenes to pull some strings and expedite the adoption process. The only catch is, with Mercury retrograding through Scorpio (currently sitting on the cusp of Angie's 5th house, about to backslide into her 4th house of family and home), there is a high likelihood that the paperwork could hit some snags. The kinks will not be worked out and the adoption not finalized at least until December 5th, when then-direct Mercury has emerged from its retrograde shadow and once again crossed the cusp of Angelina's 5th house.

Meanwhile, Mercury and Jupiter are in Brad's 12th house of secrets and self-undoing. Is he harboring hidden fears about bringing a new child into the family? Transiting retrograde Uranus is directly conjunct Brad's natal Chiron, suggesting that the upheaval and sense of chaos in his life may be opening up some old wounds. See Brad Pitt's birth chart (Astrotheme) A self-destructive side of Brad could come out now if he does not find healthy outlets for his emotions and speak up about how he really feels. As Neptune creeps up to a conjunction with his Saturn, there is a strong urge to gloss over realities that he would rather not face. It may be easier for Brad to pretend he is living in a Hollywood fairy tale than to engage with what is really happening in his life.

With his natal Jupiter in Aries in the 4th house, Brad is definitely the type of person who's down with impulsively adding people to his household the way other people pick up souvenirs on vacation. But with all his Sagittarius and Capricorn planets, Brad is also very driven and focused on his own goals and dreams. Giving so much emotional energy in so many realms of his life may be wearing Brad down; does he possess the psychic reserves to care for yet another child so soon after the birth of Shiloh? Hopefully Jupiter's Thanksgiving entry into Sagittarius will provide a sort of second wind, renewing Brad's natural Sag optimism and enthusiasm for life, whatever it brings.

Of course, if Angelina and Brad do bring home a new tot from India, you can be sure that CelebAstroBlogy will post the birth chart as soon as data is available and let you know how the kid fits into his or her new family. Watch this space!
