Born on January 9, 1941 in Staten Island, New York to Mexican and Scottish parents. A folk singer and songwriter. Most of her songs deal with political and social issues. Her father was a physicist, the co-inventor of the x-ray microscope and author of physics textbooks. Her mother, the daughter of an Episcopal Priest was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Most of her childhood was spend abroad; her father’s work for UNESCO and all the experiences of her young life really influenced her way of thinking. Her experience with poverty and inhumane treatment of people and animals became “a part of” her. In the US she also experienced racial slurs and discrimination due to her Mexican heritage. Later in life she would be involved with social and civil right causes.
Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Gemini, the energy to manage, deploy resources is fueling the need to be informed. There is a great deal of idealism and with it a need to make things as they should be in the ultimate situation. These idealism is a double edge sword, if the person acts to achieve it, there is no end to what they can achieve but in most cases this inability to accomplish the ultimate stops the person from action… frustration takes hold of the person and nothing happens. Here, the idealization is the drive to powerful transformation through the communication of ideas as to break the status quo.
