Ellen Degeneres:  A Bright Star

Ellen’s script and signature are as fascinating as the woman herself!   Ellen’s signature is vertical slanted, indicating her poise and objectivity.   Her capital letters are extremely high, indicating her high level of confidence.  The ‘g’ in her family name is shaped similar to a figure-8, indicating her fluidity of mind:  Her fluid communication ability is just what she needs for her profession and especially her amazing television show.

Interesting that her private text is leftward slanted, suggesting Ellen is far more private a person than she perhaps reveals to others.  Although she knows many people, she will be selective in those she allows close to her.  People may think they know her, but not until they have a chance to really get to know her will they get really close. 

The dominant area of her text is her lower-case letters, suggesting a strong determination.  What Ellen sets her sights on is what she will accomplish.  Her daytime television show is perfect for her personality, for she needs an ever-changing and evolving environment to keep her mind active and to keep her from becoming bored.  If someone were to tell Ellen she could not do this, that or the other, or in any way underestimate her, she would be quick to say, “Just watch me” and accomplish her goals quicker than anyone could calculate. 

The break-away stroke in the centre of the word ‘the’ in Ellen’s text indicates her initiative:  She does not wait for much, but goes after what needs to be done.  Her open-bottom letter ‘b’ indicates she’ll be one to do things her own way, especially when she sees that the traditional ideas of others will not work. 

Ellen’s rounded i-dots indicate her loyalty to her friends and family.  The close i-dots to her i-stems indicate her excellent attention to detail.  Her rounded m’s and n’s indicates Ellen’s logical, sequential mind and her good ability to solve problems.  Once she says something can be done, you can count on the fact that it will be done. 

Both Ellen’s signature and text of writing moves up on her page, indicating her optimism and positive mental attitude.  There is an interesting ‘x’ stroke between the ‘n’ and the ‘D’ in her signature, indicating that she will tend to ‘x’ her own needs out for others, especially those that she loves.  The final stroke on the ‘n’ of her first name shoots upward, indicating her ambition.
