Ellen DeGeneres is an Aquarius, the unconventional sign that somehow has a way of fitting in with everyone. She projects her wit through the friendly face of her Sagittarius Ascendant, a rising sign with a welcome feeling that knows how to make people laugh.
Ellen DeGeneres is sui generis, one of a kind, an out lesbian who has won the heart of mainstream America with light-hearted wit and easygoing humor that has made her a star. This true original reflects the unique characteristics associated with her Sun sign, Aquarius. Born January 26, 1958 at 3:30 a.m. in Metairie, Louisiana, she feels so familiar and accessible that it's even hard for bigots to dislike her. Aquarians often break through cultural stereotypes and feel like they belong to everyone. Their ability to make something extraordinary seem totally natural is why so many of them are trendsetters. Ellen has Venus, the planet of love and pleasure, next to her Sun, a symbol of the charm and sweetness that comes so naturally to her. Uranus, the revolutionary planet associated with her sign, is directly opposite Venus and the Sun, so she's a sort of gentle rebel with a totally individual style.
Ellen's Moon (the planet of emotions and habit) is in fiery Aries, the quick moving, first sign of the zodiac. Her rapid fire wit flows from the spontaneity of her Moon, but is balanced with a calculating energy that helps her aim her barbs with precision. Mercury, the intellectual planet, is in serious Capricorn and forms a tense right angle square with her Moon. The Aries Moon lives in the moment, but Mercury in Capricorn mentally measures every remark. This pattern often indicates someone who overanalyzes herself. The mind and emotions are locked in an ongoing discussion, but from two very different points of view. Ellen's outsider status, though, gives her a different angle from which to see the world and the ability to surprise us with her comments.
Comedians tend to be much more serious than they appear, as their humor often grows out of pain. The good looking, confident and emotionally-secure kids rarely are the class clowns. Saturn -- the planet of hard, cold reality -- is joined with active Mars in Ellen's chart. This union of the principles of stop (Saturn) and go (Mars) can be like driving a car with one foot on the brake. Ellen knows pressure and is probably very tough on herself. Mars-Saturn people are hard workers with a deep understanding of failure. Therefore, they tend to prepare themselves intensely to perform as flawlessly as possible. But we never see Ellen sweat. Sure, she's a professional entertainer, but she was also born with friendly and outgoing Sagittarius rising in her chart. This Ascendant or Rising Sign is one's mask or persona, what we first see about an individual. Happy-go-lucky Sag is perfect for Ellen, who always seems to be having a good time, and in her super friendly way, includes us all in the fun.
