Ellen DeGeneres takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

Ellen DeGeneres has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything she does. Caution and realism are her virtues though Ellen limits herself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in herself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Ellen DeGeneres difficult to get to know intimately, as DeGeneres tends to distance herself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Ellen DeGeneres instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Ellen DeGeneres needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

She is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on her path, but when under stress Ellen DeGeneres becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what she has, she is apt to ignore the subtle signals she receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Ellen DeGeneres needs to learn the limits of her ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for her. DeGeneres also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward her appetites and desires, as Ellen DeGeneres tends to overindulge and/or deny herself excessively.

Being generous with her time, energy and resources in helping others achieve a better life will in turn benefit Ellen DeGeneres.
