Julian Norton: Part 1 - Personality Profile

Veterinary surgeon, author and star of the television documentary series 'The Yorkshire Vet', Julian Norton was born on Saturday, 3rd June 1972 in Castleford, West Yorkshire, UK. Unfortunately, the birth time is unknown, so the following readings are not as detailed as they should be.

As a Sun sign Gemini, Julian is open and friendly with a natural curiosity. He will want to be respected for his intellectual abilities and will achieve distinction through knowledge. The Sun forms part of a Stellium (three or more planets conjunct each other) in Gemini, joining forces with Mercury and Saturn. This indicates that he is patient and methodical, a deep thinker with an independent mind capable of great concentration. Quick witted and with above average communication skills, he may have been studious, solitary and perhaps even shy as a child.

With his natal Sun in a positive trine aspect to Uranus, there's a stubborn and rebellious streak in Julian which will rise to the surface unexpectedly and perhaps even dramatically. He is unorthodox, independent and has a magnetic personality. Naturally progressive, he seeks change and will feel compelled to make things happen. Although he loves being part of a team, he has a need to be the leader. He is always ready to embrace new ways of doing things, and to stand up for the those who need support. He will not be afraid to question rules and traditions if they don’t seem to make sense. Julian values honesty, truth and equality. He can easily relate to people from all walks of life, expressing enthusiasm and a genuine interest in others. They, in turn, appreciate his open-minded, fair, and non-judgmental attitude. Taking most things in his stride, he is rarely shocked by anyone or anything that he encounters. 

Julian's natal Mercury in a trine aspect to Uranus shows that he is open to new ideas. This planetary combination is an indicator of a deep interest in and aptitude for anything scientific - which of course is what he does for a living.  His intuition is very strong and he is resourceful, witty, and quick to understand new subjects. He thinks outside of the box and immediately 'gets' situations which other people may find baffling. He requires personal space and freedom to clear his mind and doesn’t take kindly to anyone trying to force information or impose their opinions upon him. 

Julian's natal Venus in the sign of Cancer shows that the security and comfort of his home and family will be of the utmost importance to him. This position of Venus in his natal chart is a strong indicator of why he became a vet, as it symbolises a very caring personality, someone who is sensitive and protective.of anything, or anyone, vulnerable and in need of help. Above all, Venus in Cancer represents compassion. With his natal Venus in an opposition aspect to Jupiter, Julian will enjoy popularity and social success. Easy-going, friendly and fun-loving, he attracts many admirers. 

Natal Venus in a square aspect to Pluto, indicates that Julian harbours powerful, deep and intense feelings. Insecurity, jealousy or infatuation may have made certain relationships complicated during his formative years. However, the ability to tone down these tendencies comes with age and maturity. There may be an inner struggle between what he wants and what he needs. This planetary combination produces a powerful attraction and although Julian might not be aware of it, he oozes personal magnetism without even trying. He definitely has the ability to charm the birds from the trees!

With his natal Mars also in the sign of Cancer, Julian is very tenacious - if he sets his mind on something he won't give up until he gets it. Defensive reactions and bursts of emotional displays are common traits of this position of Mars and it's possible that he may have trouble controlling his frustrations. Continuity, routine, and discipline will make him happier and stronger, bringing greater confidence. However, when tense, he may become very  withdrawn. Instinctively protective, Julian cares deeply for who and what he loves, and he's not afraid to fight against injustice. When it's required, he can be bold and fearless.

Julian's natal Mars is in a square aspect to Uranus. This planetary influence tends to bring a desire for change, a need to shake up the status quo, as well as abundant creative, physical and mental energy which can lead to brilliant achievements. However, this influence can also be high-risk and I'd be very surprised if he hasn't had more than his fair share of trials and tribulations throughout the years. Controversy is a hallmark of this aspect and it's possible that sometimes he will have been viewed as a rebel or even a troublemaker. This planetary combination increases the chance of being accident-prone and physical injury is very likely.

Although he can be impulsive, Julian's dynamic energy means he is always on the go. He knows what he wants and finds it difficult to slow down or relax. Fiercely individualistic and independent, he will not take too kindly to any form of restriction. He needs more personal freedom than the average person in order to do things in his own way. He conducts himself  with integrity, he is disciplined and committed, A practical realist who has the ability to visualise his goals in order to feel motivated to achieve them, Julian Norton is a man of passion - in every sense of the word.
