In the eyes of the world, Ellen Pompeo is first and foremost Meredith Grey, the heroine of Grey's Anatomy who has a hectic romantic life. And yet, Pompeo was almost denied this role which seems tailor-made for her. It was actually a consolation prize because, just for the record, the actress auditioned in order to participate in Secret Service, another fiction of the American channel ABC. While she was not selected, instead, the producers immediately imagined her in the skin of the famous lady doctor. Therefore, there is a share of good luck beneath trials that one assumes to be radical. Indeed, it is impossible to be more Scorpio than Pompeo. Nevertheless, to counterbalance the values of this sign, natal Jupiter is quite strong.
In the autumnal sign, are posited Venus (ingress), Mercury, the Sun, as well as a tight Moon-Neptune conjunction. A doryphory (cluster of planets) all the more powerful that all planets except the latter (though for so little) are in the 8th House, a house in analogy with her Sun sign. Therefore, we are not surprised to learn that young Ellen has had a more than atypical childhood. When she was four, her mother passed away after a drug overdose. Her father had to raise her and her five siblings. This particular situation led Ellen Pompeo to make an odd confession to US Weekly: "Actually, I have been brought up by drag queens. Many people took care of me, including my sister Kathleen who had scores of gay friends." This sets the tune; the Scorpio influence is more than noticeable with this premature bereavement and a quite scandalous environment, which she enjoys recalling, not without a dash of provocation.
However, Pompeo is not a destroyer, as might be the case when Scorpio is ill-experienced. At 20, nothing keeps her any more in Boston where she grew up in an immigrant district, and like many people, she tries her luck in New York. After a few setbacks and casual jobs, just to put food on the table, fortunately, the wheels turn in 1996 eventually. A bar waitress, she is noticed by an agent and gets a small part in a police series, Law and Order. She then moves to Los Angeles where she gradually makes her way. With Mars in Aquarius sending a nice aspect to Uranus but in tense aspect with Saturn, we can suppose that she had to grin and bear it before she stood out from the crowd.
Getting back to her horoscope, we even put forward the possibility that the prominence of the Water Element (60%) endows with a great deal of empathy and ends up paying off. The fact that Pompeo plays the role of a person who works in a medical circle and who undergoes unhappy love affairs, like in Grey's Anatomy, matches very well this highlight. The Ascendant in Pisces, more than any other, is linked to compassion, dedication, and anything related to health. To say the least, she is convincing in this role.
It must also be noted that the cusp of the Ascendant receives an exact trine from Venus, indicating that Pompeo is able to make use of a fair dose of charm, even in a white coat. Moreover, Neptune, ruler of the 1st House, is tightly conjunct the Moon (the psyche, the emotions) also in Scorpio. Therefore, everything concurs to describe a definitely attractive yet mysterious personality having a magnetism which exercises great fascination on people. In any case, she wins the public over, since this series earned her numerous rewards (several People's choice prizes).
The Moon-Neptune blend also indicates a vivid imagination that Pompeo is very likely to utilise advisedly in her actress career. We would even go so far as to say that the square between these planets and the cusp of the Ascendant is not that negative, for everything occurs against a Water backdrop.
As for the private area, one must bear in mind that this is where the comparison with Meredith ends. A well-supported Venus, conjunct Jupiter still in Libra, promises a fulfilling romantic life both literally and figuratively. The actress is married since 2007 to Chris Ivery, a music producer with whom she has two children, the younger one born through a surrogate mother. Although she always steered clear of tabloids and scandals, Pompeo experiences her intimate relationship in the Scorpio mode, urged by the Moon and by Venus. These planets associated with emotions and feelings contribute, in this case, to expose her to complicated situations. But given Scorpio's taste for secrecy, things happen behind the scenes.
Pompeo is currently pursuing her career without rocking the boat. For a long time loyal to Grey's Anatomy, she frankly confesses that strategic reasons dictate her decision. She is lucid and aware that her age would be an obstacle to any conversion after over 11 years of service.

The return of Jupiter, between 2016 and 2017, heralds that her loyalty will be rewarded. Jupiter will then transit Pompeo's cluster in Scorpio in the autumn of 2017, suggesting the persistence of a trend towards expansion.
An additional important influence comes from the excellent transit of Neptune, who will activate the Part of Fortune and the North Node in the forthcoming years. A karmic period that she ought to take advantage of, because it pledges a great deal of personal gentleness.
