Ellen DeGeneres’s birth chart

Ellen DeGeneres's full reading

Each planet by sign and house. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aquarius

   ♒ 6° Aquarius 09' · twelfth house

   purpose and vitality

   Their purpose is tied to being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, and their vitality rises around causes and communities. The tension is detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It shows up as being the reliable one at meetings and the hardest person to reach one on one.

   Their identity is quieter and more private than it looks from the outside, and solitude is where they recharge the parts of they that people rarely get to see. Rest is not wasted time for they, it is essential fuel that lets the rest of their life run.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 19° Aries 59' · first house

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

   Their moods are visible almost immediately, and how they feel tends to color how they come across before they have said a single word. People read their emotional weather faster than they expect, sometimes faster than they have named it to themselves.

3. ☿Mercury in Capricorn

   ♑ 14° Capricorn 13' · eleventh house

   mind and voice

   They think methodically and communicate in a measured, practical way that people tend to trust. The tension is being so focused on the useful conclusion that they dismis ideas that have not yet proven their worth. It shows up as getting straight to the point in a conversation that other people expected to be casual.

   They think in terms of the whole group, generating ideas for causes and communities they genuinely care about rather than only for themselves. Brainstorming with friends, informally and without pressure, is often where some of their very best thinking actually happens.

4. ♀Venus in Aquarius

   ♒ 9° Aquarius 45' ℞ · twelfth house

   love and values

   They love as a friend first, and they value independence, shared ideas and a partner who does not crowd they. The tension is keeping just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach even to they. It shows up as valuing a partner's individuality sometimes more than the intimacy between they.

   Their affections run private and sometimes idealized, and they may love more deeply than they actually show on the surface to most people. Quiet acts of devotion, done without an audience, mean more to they than public displays or grand romantic gestures ever could.

5. ♂Mars in Sagittarius

   ♐ 24° Sagittarius 11' · tenth house

   drive and anger

   They act boldly and want room to move while Ellen is doing it, and their anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on their freedom. The tension is speaking bluntly in the heat of the moment and smoothing it over later. It shows up as walking away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

   Ambition drives they here, and Ellen is willing to push hard toward a public goal once they have properly set their sights on it. Competition at work tends to sharpen their focus rather than intimidate they, and a real challenge often brings out their best effort.

6. ♃Jupiter in Scorpio

   ♏ 1° Scorpio 02' · eighth house

   growth and excess

   They grow through facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, which tends to pay off later even when it costs something now. The overreach is an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. It shows up as a resilience people notice only after they have already come through the hard part.

   They approach intimacy and shared resources with a certain quiet faith that things will work out fairly between they and the people they trust most. Deep transformation, when it comes, tends to leave they wiser and more open rather than wary or guarded afterward.

7. ♄Saturn in Sagittarius

   ♐ 22° Sagittarius 08' · tenth house

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

   Career success tends to come slowly for they, and through real, sustained effort rather than through a single lucky break or shortcut. Ellen is likely respected for their reliability long before they actually feel fully confident in their own standing among their peers.

8. ♅Uranus in Leo

   ♌ 9° Leo 46' ℞ · sixth house

   freedom, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who redefine self-expression and individuality, often through new forms of creativity and visibility unavailable to earlier generations. Personally, it can show up as comfort being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.

   They bring an inventive streak to their daily work, often finding unconventional shortcuts or better systems that other people around they simply miss. A rigid, unchanging routine tends to wear on they faster than it does most people, no matter how sensible it looks.

9. ♆Neptune in Scorpio

   ♏ 4° Scorpio 45' · eighth house

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people whose collective imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, often through a wider cultural fascination with secrets and endings. Personally, it can show up as being pulled toward mystery for its own sake.

   Intimacy for they can feel like dissolving the usual boundaries with another person, for better and sometimes for worse, and Ellen is sensitive to what goes unsaid between they. Real trust asks they to stay reasonably grounded rather than merge completely and lose their own outline.

10. ♇Pluto in Virgo

    ♍ 1° Virgo 40' ℞ · sixth house

    power, generational

    Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of work, health systems and daily life itself. Personally, it can show up as intensity around control, order and what a body or a system can actually handle.

    They bring real intensity to their daily work, often transforming a role or a routine completely once they actually commit themselves to it. Burnout is a genuine risk for they if they do not deliberately build in real rest alongside all that focused effort.

Aspects

How the planets in Ellen DeGeneres's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Venus opposition Uranus

   0.0° separating

   They feel a pull between wanting real intimacy and a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things feel too certain. Naming that need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.

2. Jupiter sextile Pluto

   0.6° applying

   Their sense of possibility and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to meaningful growth without constant upheaval. Opportunities that matter tend to find they at a manageable pace, rather than arriving all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.

3. Sun square Neptune

   1.4° separating

   Their sense of who Ellen is can blur under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, leaving they unsure where they end and the dream begins. The lesson is staying inspired without losing their own outline.

4. Mars conjunction Saturn

   2.0° separating

   Their drive is disciplined and controlled, and they channel energy into long, patient effort rather than short bursts. This makes they genuinely capable of sustained work, and the edge is not letting caution talk they out of acting when the moment actually calls for it.
