Ellen Pompeo’s birth chart shows that she’s able to channel her emotions into power
Ellen Pompeo was born on November 10, 1969. This makes her a passionate Scorpio Sun with a deeply sensitive Scorpio Moon and a creative Pisces Ascendant. To be upfront, by viewing her birth chart—wow, this woman packs a punch with so many placements in Scorpio. Her Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Neptune are all here—which is extremely rare to have. Scorpio energy runs through her to her core. When it comes to elemental energy that she is composed of, she is clearly dominated by Water followed by Air. However, I want to point out that Scorpio, while a Water zodiac sign, is also very intense, passionate and fiery. This is because Scorpio is one of the most profoundly deep, introspective and moody zodiac signs and is ruled by Mars, the planet of war, and Pluto, the planet of transformation. On the positive end of the spectrum, Scorpio energy is elevated, hypnotic and irresistible, able to reach majestic levels of perception. Luckily, with so many positive alignments in Pompeo’s birth chart, I think she likely falls on the more positive side of this spectrum.
When analyzing core themes that run through her birth chart, these same energies are illuminated repeatedly. Honestly, the thing that is so vivid is that her Moon, ruling her soul and inner emotional life, is what truly brings her so much power and makes her so fascinating as an artist. First, her Moon is united exactly with Neptune, the planet of spirit and imagination. This brings her an ethereal quality, especially because she is so emotionally open and sensitive. She can draw upon the love within her heart—and other people—and display it with a nearly psychic accuracy and poignancy. She is softhearted and dreamy—something you’d expect from someone who has played such a compassionate and romantic character for nearly two decades. Her Moon then dances perfectly with Pluto, which is what helps her to set her mind and focus on whatever she wants and drive herself relentlessly to get there. Her emotions can be a bit intense, but she also can reach far greater emotional and psychic depths than the vast majority of other people. Next, her Moon links to Mars, making her vigorous, courageous and daring in the expression and pursuit of her emotions and in her relationships. She can control her passions and drive and has no problem being outgoing to do so. Then, with her Moon also linked to her Ascendant, she also knows how to fluidly operate on instinct and trust the subtlety of responses, moods and behaviors.
Of course her birth chart also shows ambition—she wouldn’t have worked so hard and reached such heights without that—with astrological aspects like her Mars dancing with Saturn, her Saturn kissing her Ascendant, or her Mars linking to both Uranus and Pluto.
However, the thing I’d prefer to highlight is the natural beauty she can emanate and a deep aura of feminine power. She can be a warrior and a leader while also maintaining grace and refinement. Her Sun is united with Mercury, while Venus smiles upon her Ascendant, Mars and Jupiter. She’s complex, yet mighty. She’s confident, yet gracious.
