Is it possible for a child page to have multiple parent pages?

I have created pages organizing multiple articles with the content by label macro but am looking for a more organized way of doing this using multiple parent pages for the same child page.

No, but you can use the include page macro to essentially create the same child page in two locations (with different names when in the same space, or the same name when in different spaces).

But there is no way to fork the navigation that way.

Pages in Confluence are organized in a strict hierarchy, from the Space home page on down. Every page has exactly one parent. The "Page Tree" macro wouldn't work, for example, if a page had multiple parents.

You've already discovered the "orthogonal organization" mechanism in Confluence - page labels, and the related macros.

There are a few other macros that probably don't do what you want either, but I'll mention them for completeness: Content Report Table, Excerpt and Excerpt Include, and Include Page.

There might be something in the Atlassian Marketplace that might be helpful, but frankly I rather doubt it:

Not the answer you wanted, I know. Sorry! Best wishes.
