Ellen DeGeneres is a Sun sign Aquarius with Venus in Aquarius as well, giving her a world view that comes out in her work often. She is full of energy and has a fire trine with its roots at her rising in Sagittarius keeping her honest and forthright; her Saturn and Mars are also in Sagittarius making that sign impossible to avoid and giving Ellen a strong Sagittarius leaning, certainly. Her fire trine is completed by Moon in Aries and Uranus in Leo. With Moon in Aries and such a Sagittarius chart, Ellen has always been more open and honest than many in her genre while keeping in mind the people, as an Aquarius Sun and Venus. Moon in Aries helps Ellen speak her mind and stay open to ideas and events that happen in her mind and in society at large. She would have a world view and it shows in her work.

Ellen is a hard-worker with Virgo on the Midheaven joined by Pluto. She comes from a back ground that values work and this shows as well as Ellen is always prepared whether she is doing her show or hosting the Emmy Awards! Ellen’s Mercury is in Capricorn giving her a mind of responsibility for herself and others while Jupiter and Neptune are in Scorpio giving her an openness about her sexuality and sexuality in general. Ellen has a comedy style that is called “observational humor,” and this is the best route for someone who is so focused on those around her and her surroundings. Ellen has made a great career for herself with her open personality and all-inclusive ways.

As with all strong Sagittarius and Aquarius charts, Ellen started her life with a series of jobs that she often uses in her comedy but that also have given her an idea of what “everyman” might experience, helping her reach so many as she always has. She has been a clerk at a law firm, sold clothes at the “Merry Go Round” store, waited tables at “TGI Fridays,” been a house painter, a hostess and a bartender where I’m sure she entertained many as she has such a gift with people.

Ellen started her career in New Orleans where she attended only one semester of college before she started her stand-up comedy career. Ellen went on to tour as a stand-up comedian and the rest was an upward climb that has won Ellen many awards including 25 Emmy Awards for her show. Before Ellen had a talk show she had a sitcom named “Ellen.” At the height of its fame and with great ratings, Ellen “came out” to the people on an episode of Oprah, shocking everyone because she was so honest at a time when not many were. Her Fire trine and great Sagittarius rising, Saturn and Mars would have great difficulty hiding her reality from the public she loves so much and with Aries Moon backing that up she “came out” on her sitcom to a therapist also played by Oprah. The show lost many viewers when this happened and was soon canceled. But with the natural openness that Ellen possesses she went onward and upward after a short return to her stand-up roots and scored herself her own talk show in which she interacts with the audience a great deal. Ellen would be very comfortable with all people with her chart and this shows on her show as well as in the numerous times she has hosted awards shows. Ellen has hosted the Emmys as well as the Grammys even in such hard times as after 9/11 and after Katrina struck her home state, LA.

With Jupiter and Neptune in Scorpio giving Ellen a strong sexuality and a fire trine feeding her energy, Ellen has had a few high profile relationships in the press. She has been openly with actress Anne Heche, followed by a relationship with actress Alexandra Hedison after which she finally married when gay marriage was legal in CA, Portia de Rossi. She and Portia had a very personal wedding at their home with only 19 guests but with both their mothers in attendance. Ellen is very close to her mother and her mother is very active in “Parents & Friends of Lesbians and Gays,” also known as “PFLAG.” Ellen’s mother is the spokesperson for the “Human Rights Campaign’s Coming Out” Project. Ellen has a brother as well who is a producer and musician. Ellen was the first openly gay or lesbian person to host the Academy Awards in 2007. Ellen has taken her high energy and her love of people and opened doors for herself and others facing bigots and is critically acclaimed for her efforts.

Ellen has a very easygoing style that includes suits and blazers over crisp white shirts when she is appearing at events and wears a tux extremely well. She would need a wash and wear cut and wears a pixie cut wonderfully because of her Fire Trine and its need to get up and go. She is casually dressed most of the time but in clothing that is well-matched and tailored. Ellen would be a fan of suits tailored to her body because of the Scorpio in her chart and she often wears her shirt collars open a bit and loose on top.

Sporting a wide Aquarius smile that is sincere because of her strong Sagittarius leanings, Ellen always appears to be happy in her photos and active in what she is doing. Very seldom posed, there are many photos of Ellen in action which is what she does best! With all that Fire, Ellen is a very physical comedian and her trademark black or white suits tailored to her body suit her very well in that style allowing for a lean line and showing her movement off in the best light. Ellen has been known many times to dance with her audience and her suits fit nicely for that form of movement. Almost like a tap dancer, she moves her legs and arms and the suit shows an almost perfect design for that type of work. Having Scorpio strongly in her chart, she favors black or white satin-like suits and if she is wearing a black suit she often wears the classic white shirt underneath. Ellen has worn ties as well and she has worn both bow ties and straight ties. This style that Ellen wears is attractive on everyone, both male and female, and gives her a look that does not pigeonhole her into any category. At times Ellen will tweak things a bit and wear a pastel shirt with her suits showing a fun-loving character to the public.

With such small features a short hair cut is best for Ellen and she has worn her hair in its trademark cut for years. A woman who knows her best style is always one step ahead and Ellen is such a woman.

Ellen’s latest contract is with “Cover Girl,” as a model for their makeup, and this clashes with her animal-loving reputation because “Cover Girl” does do animal testing. She has appeared in other commercials and showed us acting chops by doing a handful of roles as well.

We can expect a lot more of Ellen as respect for her grows and the battle for gay and lesbian rights moves forward. Ellen is a good example of someone who stays open with the people while entertaining them in an exciting way. Her honest love of others and her natural compassion came through even when she took her turn as a judge on “American Idol.” Ellen has quit “American Idol,” citing it as “not a good fit for me,” but we can assume that Ellen will be hosting events and applying her voice to cartoon movies as she has in the past. Ellen always has her easy way with the people as well so we will see her in “stand-up” performances also.
