Ellen Barkin’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she is

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Happiest going first. Starts things with real nerve and loves a challenge that needs someone brave. The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun opposition Neptune (close at 1.5°)

2. What she needs

   ☽Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

   Needs harmony, good company and fairness. Feels best when everyone is getting along. Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.

   The Moon opposition Mercury (wide at 4.4°)

3. How she loves

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (wide at 4.1°)

4. How she thinks

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and she weighs words before letting them go.

   Mercury quincunx Saturn (close at 1.7°)

5. What drives her

   ♂Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever

   Ambitious, disciplined and patient. Works hard and climbs steadily. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

   Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.6°)

6. The shape of her chart

   The Sun is the hub of her chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so her identity touches everything else in it.
