An extroverted intuitive (to use C.G. Jung’s terms), Ellen DeGeneres is open to the reality of the world, objects, and others. She has a special duality to her mind, which is made up of equal parts of intellectual resources and sensitivity, giving her great intuition and humanism. As a function of this latter, she has a great sense of her fellow human and the oracular art of divining people’s unconscious wishes and motivations – in fact, her advice is often sought. In material terms, it gives her a talent for locating lost objects and a spirit of discovery and invention. Overall, she welcomes the signs arriving from the outer world in a positive and liberal way and even incite them to promise more than they can provide. However, when something does not satisfy her, she has the ability to cheer herself up rapidly and are quick to discover whatever positive aspects it may present. This involves a process of readaptation which requires formidable ego transformations, and they are the challenge for her. It is up to her to renew herself, to behave in such a way as to drain her environment of fearsome or threatening aspects.

She is usually perceived as an idealist. Deep within herself, she senses the presence of a “new life.” It is the crucible of her ideal and all her hopes. The “new life” may assume the garb of various philosophies of liberation; whatever they may be, they all endeavor to revitalize alienated modern people, oppressed and downtrodden by Western civilization. However, in her striving to free herself and her fellow humans from a social contract based on the power of sheer lucre and corrupt lobbies, she displays a singular inclination to depend upon the very social forces she intends to topple. The reason for this is that, because she is quite sociable, the only thing she instinctively grabs profoundly is social action and organization. Her perception of her own personality is vague or even negative. In fact, her grandiose personal gestures are motivated by a need to hide her unavowed feelings of inferiority and, at times, her fear of strong personalities. But she is above all an idealist. Hope is the prime mover of her spirit, and she is continually traveling along the axis of the hope/despair polarity. As she applies herself to ignoring whatever is impervious to her aspirations, she should acquire some certainty of what is still possible – for her and the world. In fact, in relation to her ideal, she behaves realistically, although others are unable to perceive her realism because she expressed herself in such an unconventional and eccentric fashion.

She is passionately committed to the quest and research she has initiated and will pursue it with determination if not fury. She judges and defines herself in opposition to society, and human relations are vital to the evolution of her personality. An elitist, she does not believe in human equality, preferring individuality. She seeks a way to unite them without abolishing their differences. She would like to create a utopian community with no ideological imperatives, a self-ruled entity which would recognize its own spirit as the only authority. Her definition of friendship is spiritual love, because it establishes a subtle, vast, and delicate web of bonds, not only between people, but between people and things. She imagines a vow of true friendship as a form of freedom which reassures the freedom of others, instead of threatening it. However, she should become aware that this ideal harmony, which is often rather difficult to put into practice, sometimes hides an unavowed fear of deep commitment to another person. For this reason, her love life is among the more erratic.

Warm and giving to the world in general, in certain special cases she may become cold or even distant. She is determined to elude any perceived threat to her freedom and pick her way through a world of paradoxes and contradictions. Her sensuality is associated with her imagination, and she loves people not for what they are in reality, but for the way her imagination transfigures them. The result is disillusionment. But when she falls in love, it’s for real.

Due to the influence of Virgo rising, Ellen DeGeneres’ personality, somewhat tense and withdrawn, is ruled by reason. Her intellectual functions tend to predominate over her emotional or sentimental impulses. Her mind, which is analytical and critical, is naturally questioning and skeptical; she has great faith in rational positivism and strives to be pragmatic. She has a considerable potential for accomplishment. Although others generally appreciate her conscientious, scrupulous conduct, her devotion to others and realism, they might be critical of her meek behavior and tendency to overthink. Indeed, she is so meticulous that she often “cannot see the forest for the trees” and may fret and worry unnecessarily over tiny details. It will be up to her to overcome her tendency to suppress her feelings in order to build a more rewarding life for herself.

Ellen DeGeneres has high social aspirations. She believes that by gaining total control of her intellect, feelings, and instincts, she can achieve them.

Ellen DeGeneres derives great rewards from every source of pleasure or creation (physical, artistic, or emotional). She has a penchant for speculation.

At the time of your birth, Ellen DeGeneres’s rising sign was located in Virgo (the Virgin), while the sun was passing through the sign of Aquarius (the Water Bearer). A summary of the various clues mentioned above provide Ellen DeGeneres’s personality profile. The following key words capture the essence of Ellen DeGeneres’s character and indicate certain contradictions which may be sources of tension:

Modesty – Independence – Analytical thought – Rebelliousness – Strict logic – Originality – Attention to detail – Fluctuation – Perfectionism – Irritability – Worry and anxiety – Inventive spirit – Nervousness – Sense of paradox.

Ellen DeGeneres has a paradoxical nature which hosts two antinomic and conflicting tendencies at opposite poles from one another. As a result, Ellen DeGeneres swings from rebellion against authority to submissiveness, from kookiness to convention. Ellen DeGeneres is methodical at times and chaotic at others, shy on some days and eccentric on others.

Despite this complex psychological structure, Ellen DeGeneres’s analytical intelligence and inventive spirit have great potential. As Ellen DeGeneres matures, Ellen DeGeneres should attain a harmonious synthesis and balanced coordination between the conflicting tendencies. When Ellen DeGeneres learns to control Ellen DeGeneres’s nervousness, Ellen DeGeneres’s lifestyle choices should come together nicely.

Born three and a half to seven days after the rising of the new moon, Ellen DeGeneres is said to be a “crescent moon” lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration indicates that Ellen may need to make an effort to free herself from the past. Something related to her childhood, parents, or ancestors is holding her back, impairing her effectiveness and could stand to be overcome.

Due to her past, Ellen refuses tried-and-true models, is always fighting to justify her innovative viewpoints, and tends to break away from tradition. Ellen is hardly ever aware that she is making career and lifestyle choices which are based on an urge to modify her relationship to society, and the rigid standards and models from the past.
