Pre-Reading:
Obviously, one of the first things I need to talk about in Jimin and Jin’s relationship reading is how they work together in the Soul Body and how they work together on a conscious level because on both ends it’s exactly the same. I’ve talked about it nearly a thousand times it seems but it’s one of the most interesting combinations in BTS because of how they connect and balance each other, and then balance the group together and separately.
On an energetic level, within the core and in terms of introverted and extroverted energy (energy, not personality) they don’t line up at all, yet they function almost like they’re meant to be mirroring each other. In the Soul Body where Jin is in place of the Solar Plexus and Jimin is in place of the Heart Chakra, Jimin handles the internal affairs while Jin handles the external affairs.
More specifically, Jimin, as the heart of the body, holds down, balances, and anchors in everyone else, while Hoseok filters what comes through the head and Jin stabilizes and filters what is about to be projected through Taehyung and Kook. Jimin is the middleman in a sense, sort of that crossing point of a four-way intersection. That’s their very basic, core function.
When you come away from the core function a bit more, you’ll see that Jimin handles the internalized energy, while Jin handles the more forceful and driven energy of the Soul Body. This is then mirrored in how these energy centers, and subsequently the two of them on a conscious level, behave towards the group and people in general.
As I’ve mentioned before, Jin can literally see the energetic lines that connect people, he is able to see and understand how people connect and balance each other and therefore is great at bringing people together, breaking up relationships, and helping to put them back together. On the other hand, Jimin is able to see the individuals. He has that libra shit where he is able to understand people simply through mirroring them.
It’s way more unconscious than Jin’s understanding of relationships, but it is one of the reasons why Jimin is the best person for everyone else to unload on and why he isn’t the easiest person to lie to or put on an extra persona in front of. No matter what you do, he will see the real person, he will see the core.
Of course, through an odd twist of fate, these two then struggled to do the same for themselves. For a long time, Jin had difficulty connecting to people on a mass scale, which is why he was basically ignored and unnoticed. It has to do with an over-reliance on these lines, an over-reliance on trying to fit the mold of what other people wanted to connect with, trying to be someone that he wasn’t, and therefore projecting less and less of his own core energy, subsequently causing him to disconnect on a more conscious level from that ability to see where and how people could connect to him and pretty much… dimming his light and making him go unnoticed for a while.
Jimin, in spite of his ability to mirror others and see straight through them, he’s so horrendously disconnected from himself on a conscious level that he’s almost always functioning through the soul. Which is fine in most cases, but that disconnect where logic and intellect are not brought into that processing, what the human mind ends up doing is pulling in these reflections of other people, this awareness of how people change and move in order to satisfy other people, and it just sort of all gets mashed together into this horrid bit of tar in his brain that says he needs to fit these images of other people. Then because it’s rooted in the unconscious and being fueled by the blind subconscious within someone who is consciously in their emotions, it brings a negative mindset towards self-perception and self-projection.
I talked about that a little bit in his Elemental Alignment back in the day, how rather than seeing himself differently in the mirror, he will see other people and start to think that he has to change his physical body to match that person in order to be “real,” “true,” or “right” because, on an unconscious level, that is how he understands them to be in that moment. When he looks at people through his own ability to reflect them, he is seeing them in their purest state, in the most whole and perfect way possible, even with their flaws. Because he has that disconnect to himself, he can start to feel not whole, not pure, riddled with flaws because he literally can’t see his own reflection, just like Jin couldn’t see his own energy lines.
It is and was like a learning curve for both of them in which they bring that unconscious ability into the conscious state and utilize it more on a physical level, which is what Jin has done. It’s what he did to become much more comfortable with himself, much more willing to project his energy in spite of what he thought other people would take from him. Jimin is not really there yet, and he’s still in the motion of fitting himself into these molds of other people. Again, I talked about it in his Elemental Alignment, but I think I talked about it in his and Kook’s relationship reading as well that Jimin, because he can’t see his own reflection, his own conscious or unconscious state, literally needs someone to point it out to him even on a subconscious level, which is something that Kook was able to do at one point.
I even did a reading, I think it was a mini-reading, where it came out that Kook and Jimin’s relationship was crucial specifically because Kook would be the one to point those things out to Jimin without actually having to say it or throw it at him the way other people might.
Now, another interesting thing about how Jimin and Jin connect is that it’s very similar to how Kook and Namjoon connect in terms of how one is kind of, sort of meant to follow the other or should follow the other through an almost exact copy of that process to conscious alignment.
Namjoon is an extroverted Virgo, meaning his core energy is being projected constantly. It’s why his judgment is turned towards other people and the world much more prominently than it is towards himself now. It’s why he wants to teach people and change how people see the world and themselves, it’s because he’s literally judging everything and seeing how it could be better.
Kook, on the other hand, is an introverted Virgo, so his core energy is turned inward, his judgment is turned towards himself. That’s why he’s so good at everything. Not because he’s just ~naturally gifted~, it’s because, in anything and everything he does, he’s constantly judging himself thinking that can do better, that he has to do better, that no matter how perfect it is, he could be doing more.
When people are like that they are much more receptive to criticism and and judgement for others as it tends to just validate their own self-judgment and criticism, and can pretty much overload them, putting so much pressure on them that they will start to conform to satisfy other people as they will begin to see outside opinion as the marker of what is right and what is wrong in terms of what they are doing.
That was pretty much the basis of Kook’s solo reading for December, lol.
But see, Namjoon was like that as well, he was once putting more of his judgment towards himself, took on other peoples’ opinions and expectations, and conformed in order to meet what other people wanted of him. He went through this process of completely losing himself to other people, literally becoming a puppet, which for him would be rock bottom, and then clawed his way back up to the surface and decided he was never going back to that.
That is how that shit gets reversed and in order for Kook to do that, he has to go through the same thing. I’m assuming his more constrained creativity is what is going to cause that as he does tend to work from the soul, as I mentioned, and when a cap is being put on that, especially as an artist, you can start to feel literally dead inside. He needs to die in order to “come back to life” and start taking no one’s shit. That doesn’t mean either of them is invincible or impervious to judgment, it just means they are and would be much more critical of what they allow themselves to actually take in from other people.
Jimin and Jin work in a similar fashion where Jimin would have to follow a similar pattern to Jin in order to get that “fuck you” kind of attitude when it comes to how they perceive other people and their expectations around what they hand out in terms of personality and physical satisfaction. It’s where personal satisfaction and authenticity is put above and far beyond what other people want or think. Again, it’s not a black and white sort of thing where both of them suddenly become completely untouchable, it is simply a shift in priority.
The difference between Kook and Namjoon, and Jimin and Jin is that Jimin and Jin kind of need to mirror each other. Jimin has to go backward in order to get to where Jin is now. It’s almost like they need to trade places in the sense that once upon a time Jin was in the background, unseen and unnoticed by most people, while Jimin was front and center. Now Jin is in the foreground while Jimin needs to shift himself to the background. He literally needs to disconnect from outside perception, he needs to be in a state where he doesn’t feel like he’s being watched and judged constantly, especially when it comes to his body and how he looks.
Once he is able to completely separate himself from that, then he’ll be able to start seeing his own reflection in a sense, getting in touch with himself, how he feels, what he thinks, and how all of that differs from what other people feel and think about him.
It’s like standing on a stage in front of 100,000 people and in your mind that is you. You are 100,000 people and you have to fit the look and personality of 100,000 people in terms of how you see them, which for Jimin would be the very core, the very perfect and untouched kind of vibe where everything just seems to fit just right in every way. He needs to go from that to just seeing himself in a mirror and sitting there staring at himself until he starts to see his own core, his own true perfection that can’t be changed or altered in any way.
Then, once he gets there, he’ll be in the same place as Jin where the understanding that they’re already perfect just as they are and that isn’t always going to satisfy other people is right on top at the very front of the conscious mind. Then they’ll be matched the same way Kook and Namjoon will be matched, and all four of them (Hoseok, Yoongi and Taehyung — even though it’s a bit flawed — already do this.) will be in that perfectly pure state of projecting their very souls into everything. Which is pretty rad because once everyone is consciously projected their souls they will all be in perfect alignment.
Don’t get too hung up on all of that though because collectively, they’re at a point where this shit is just kind of happening, there’s no need for them to really try to do anything unless they want to. It’s all sort of being handled externally now and through the integration of the Higher Self. Everyone will be in that state of soul projection but it might take longer for Jimin and Kook as they are both very deep into taking on external projections at the moment.
Something else that is interesting about Jin and Jimin that actually differs quite a lot from Namjoon and Kook is that the way they work together in the Soul Body is the exact same way that they work together on a conscious level within the group. Jin acts as a go-between. He’s an observer to the group and is able to really level things out between everyone if something goes wrong or there’s tension somewhere. In addition to that, he’s a great middleman for the group to outside influence. I wouldn’t be surprised if in business meetings with BigHit Jin is the one doing most of the talking and negotiating for everyone, especially when it comes to matters of equal exchange such as money, accommodations, and break time.
Jimin, as I mentioned, handles the individuals. In the Soul Body, he’s literally the heart, he is the healer of the individual. Everything is brought in and taken out through Jimin’s energy center. On a conscious level, because of how he mirrors others he is the perfect person within the group for everyone to go to when they are in a low place, or stressed out as that natural healing can occur simply by speaking to him as he will literally take it in, purify it, and send it back out. On a very mundane level, this would just be like someone talking about how stressed they are, and Jimin giving some advice or a bit of a pep talk and then everything is just peachy keen.
Obviously, this is energetic as he is receptive to those negative thoughts and feelings and is then literally able to project higher vibrations, more positive energy to the other members. Obviously through close contact, even physical contact, this is extremely strong, but he can also do this with an audience or the general public. That’s literally why people can just feel happy by looking at him, he’s projecting that healing and high vibration energy to other people as he’s taking in everyone’s negative energy.
And this is pretty okay, but you have to keep in mind that unlike everyone around him, he doesn’t have his own filter like that. Until he completely integrates the Higher Self or becomes more self-aware, he will literally just be ending every day in a slump because he’s carrying everyone’s nonsense in place of all the positive energy that he shoved in everyone’s direction. It’s what he’s meant to be doing, but he needs to be able to do it for himself as well.
So, together Jin and Jimin are these balancing bits within the group and within the Soul Body.
Before when the Soul Body was out of alignment and severely imbalanced, Jin and Jimin were literally the “hands” of the body and worked together to push and pull the high-frequency energy that was produced through the rap line triad. It was literally like they were pulling taffy in order to cool it down and make it more streamlined and capable of being more properly projected by Taehyung and Kook.
If you look at Namjoon and Kook, the very top and the very bottom of the Soul Body, it is like they are the container for it, the external balance, while Jimin and Jin are the internal balance. Then Yoongi and Taehyung act as the receptor and projector of the Soul Body, while Hoseok is the filter for both of them, literally sifting through what comes in and what goes out. His passive energy almost makes him like a silent monitor to everything.
Everyone has their place, but Jin and Jimin literally keep everything functioning as smoothly as possible within the group, so their connection, as well as what they do on an individual level is extremely important and necessary for everyone to progress forward.
So for this layout here, it’s very similar to what I had for Jimin and Hoseok in terms of it showing the different layers of connection. There’s the soul connection through The Lovers, the subconscious balancing and duty through the sensing of energy lines and core energy on both sides, and then the conscious connection with the 3 of Pentacles in which they don’t mingle quite as closely as they do on a soul level, but there is somewhat of an awareness towards them having this kind of synergy together.
More specifically, The Lovers shows that balance between projected and receptive energy on both sides where Jimin’s is much more rooted in the heart connection, the emotions, the subconscious, while Jin is much more conscious of it and has intellectualized it. Jimin does carry more of the receptive energy of the Divine Feminine while Jin has more of the controlled and projected energy of the Divine Masculine, while together, through the soul, or the energy centers of the Soul Body, they are completing each other in a sense. It’s like separately they are in line with the “Adam” and “Eve” in the photo, but when they are connected, balanced, and working together, they become the angel that embodies both modalities and projected that out into the group and to other people.
Dropping down into the more subconscious layer where the High Priestess is representing that “sixth sense” that they both have, that awareness they have of the energy lines between people and the core essence of the individuals. Jin is represented with the 6 of Pentacles. The 6 of Pentacles is what he sees, he sees the exchange of energy between people, he sees how they balance or imbalance each other. You can see him as being the man in the image that is giving the money to the beggars, he is the one to balance things out, to even the playing field in that sense. Then you have Jimin perfectly depicted as being shrouded in black, unable to see himself, but see other people, their flaws, and upsets. Behind him is that positive energy, the two upright cups, that he can extend to other people after taking on those three overturned cups.
Then at the very bottom, you have the conscious level connection within the 3 of Pentacles where, again, there is a conscious awareness of them being able to work together and understand each other, while still being fully aware that they know and do very different things in the most general sense possible.
The Reading:
Energetic Contributions To The Relationship:
Jin: King of Wands | The Fool
Jimin: The Moon | Nine of Pentacles
I suppose it makes sense, but it would seem that what they project within their relationship is exactly what they project together and separately to the group and to the public.
Jin’s combination is very on point with what I understand of his personality in the sense that the King of Wands is that bold and fiery energy that takes control and sort of man’s the ship. It’s direct and in control, very in line with that Sagittarius energy in his core. It’s like he’s the one to really bring about the action, to tell everyone where they’re going to go, how they’re going to do it, in the most straightforward and “boss” way possible, but then the actual trip from point A to point B is handled through The Fool. Like, they have a mission, and there’s a very specific path that he sees for them in order to achieve that goal, but the trip there is going to be lighthearted, it’s going to be chill. There’s no reason for him to be on guard or to have to watch every step he takes because of the King of Wands fuels that confidence and self-assuredness for himself and everyone around him.
So, within the relationship, that’s what he brings to Jimin. He brings the projection, the action, the Divine Masculine to Jimin’s receptibility, his feelings, the Divine Feminine.
On a conscious level you could imagine this playing out as Jimin having a low moment, being afraid to do something or having a lot of nervousness around something and Jin getting kind of tough on him and saying things very flat out and direct, no sugar coating it, telling him he needs to get his shit together and that there’s no point in him being in that frame of mind. Then as soon as Jimin is standing up again, Jin grabs his hand and they skip along to wherever Jimin is meant to be in that moment.
It’s the harsh reality check followed by this very carefree and comfortable way of living within that harsh reality. You already know it’s harsh, so why live in fear of it being harsh… you know? It’s like that.
Then on Jimin’s side, you have the literal representation of the Divine Feminine within The Moon contributing that emotional awareness, that “cool down” to Jin’s Fire energy, the softening to that harsh way of directing things. Then, in a very mirrored fashion, you have the Nine of Pentacles acting as the stability to The Fool’s more free and jovial nature. So, on both sides, it’s like The Moon and the King of Wands are the mindsets while The Fool and the 9 of Pentacles is the actual action or projected energy towards that mindset.
Where Jin provides the reality check to Jimin’s mentality and emotional state, Jimin provides the reality check to Jin’s actions. Jin provides clarity to Jimin’s mind while Jimin provides stability to the steps he takes through the Fool.
That’s how they balance each other on a more conscious level.
How They See The Relationship:
Jin: Four of Wands (rev.)
Jimin: Three of Cups | Ten of Pentacles
That reversed Four of Wands seems a bit negative, but really it’s more towards the perception of Jimin pretty much dowsing Jin’s fire whenever it starts to burn too hot.
This actually made me think about that bit in Burn The Stage where Jin and Taehyung were fighting and Jimin was just like, “Well, I think you’re both wrong.” Jin is the kind of person to want to be the winner. It’s not something that’s on his mind constantly, but at the moment, he wants to be the one in control of the situation, and at that moment that was like Jimin dowsing the flames. It was something that immediately brought the fallacies of both sides into question, which put Taehyung and Jin on equal ground.
So, stuff like that is where the 4 of Wands comes in. It’s Jimin breaking down that high and mighty sense of self that Jin could develop at times.
So, it’s not really a negative placement, it’s just this acknowledgment of the fact that Jimin is the one to keep him in check and bring him back down to earth when he needs it. Especially since Jin seems to have this very deep sense of self-awareness, I have no doubt that he understands that there are thin lines within his personality that separate confidence and being egotistical, between being straight-forward and being an asshole, or standing up for himself and being argumentative.
It’s something he maintains, it allows him to sit perfectly in that space where he can be himself and still be well accepted by the majority of people. It’s… basic human social function, but it’s like a THING for him.
On Jimin’s side, you have the Three of Cups and the Ten of Pentacles which has this dualistic thing to it that matches up with how the King of Wands and The Fool can be perceived.
The Three of Cups is that fun and celebratory vibe that can come through when moving with The Fool, and then the 10 of Pentacles is that stability, comfortability, and sense of sure achievement that comes through when interacting with the King of Wands.
There’s also this really nice aspect of balance and awareness between his Nine of Pentacles and the Ten of Pentacles where Jimin is aware of what he does for Jin and is seeing what Jin does for him to be within the same realm of stability and guaranteeing success. Very similar to how he sees Namjoon, but with Namjoon there wasn’t a lot of awareness towards his own contribution to the relationship.
Current State of The Relationship:
Six of Pentacle (Rev.)
This is really, really interesting because this is showing that Jin specifically is kind of tapped out of the relationship not because anything is severely wrong, but because their frequencies don’t match up right now. As I showed in his December solo reading, Jin is already integrating his Higher Self and Jimin is not, and one of Jin’s things when it comes to projecting is that he won’t waste energy on people that are not receptive to what he is putting out, on any level.
Jimin, right now, is not receptive to his energy, therefore their connection is slightly off.
More specifically, this card in reverse is about being in a position where you’re trying to help people who don’t want to be helped. They are not open to receiving, therefore, you can’t give them anything, which is exactly what is happening between Jimin and Jin. This doesn’t really affect them on a conscious level other than Jin’s conscious awareness expanding his awareness of Jimin’s (and other peoples’) blocks and personal troubles, which would, of course, have him wanting to help, but also being incredibly aware that he can’t help them until they’ve helped themselves and become receptive to what he can give them.
So, again, it’s not bad, it’s just temporarily misaligned, but on a soul level, they are still very connected and working together. Just like Yoongi is waiting for Namjoon to catch up, Jin is waiting for Jimin to catch up, and that’s really all they can do right now.
Highest Potential:
Temperance | The Star
Lol, this is literally just saying that on all levels they would be balanced out again once the Higher Selves are fully integrated with both of them. Both cards are majors, both referring to a connection with the soul and deeper levels of consciousness, and specifically point to higher frequencies between the two of them.
So, really not much to explain here other than that when they are balanced on all levels, they’re at their highest potential, which is true for everyone in the group.
And that’s all I have for this one, thank you for reading!
