Previous Outlook Readings
BTS 2018/2019 Outlook - “Imagine peace, time to go.”
BTS OT7 2019 Outlook - “The new era.”
BTS OT7 2021/2022 Outlook - “Compromise.”
The last outlook reading I did for BTS was in mid to late March of 2021 and it covered the timeframe from April 2021 to March of 2022. One of the more “controversial” parts of that reading involved the last three months, or the first three months of 2022 where, with the 2 of Cups, 10 of Swords, and Wheel of Fortune, I said it seemed like they were planning to disband. I described the energy there as depressed, depleted, and mournful as the 2 of Cups felt like a farewell that preceded the finality of the 10 of Swords, which then initiated bigger change and progression in the Wheel of Fortune.
I had mostly forgotten about this until, around March 2022, I got a couple of messages from some people very rudely letting me know that I was wrong and stupid for ever posting that reading. Didn’t appreciate being called stupid, but, after I stopped being all annoyed with it, I went back to read it again about a month ago (May 2022), and then again recently after getting messages about the recent announcement of the group looking to focus more on solo work. A couple of different things crossed my mind when I went back to the reading, especially around The Wheel of Fortune. Everything up to January 2022 in the monthly outlook portion had been very externalized, including Wands (Fire/Action) and Pentacles (Earth/Physicality). It was all movement and production over and over again, then suddenly, Water (2 of Cup) and Air (10 of Swords) — emotions and thoughts.
This made me think that there were shared or mirrored emotions, this more individualistic mourning, occurring that were then expressed interpersonally toward a break or disbandment that either had already been brought up or was just being brought up then in more serious consideration. The 10 of Swords would have been the actual decisions being made, the finality of putting an expiration date on what they were doing, and, like I mentioned, planning to give something to the fans before they separated, left, or enacted a change with a hiatus. I think this would line up with the album Proof, which I described in this reading in mid-May as being a monument of their career, and would come with lessons or demonstrations of success through the passionate pursuit of joy and personal fulfillment. So, if something were to initiate in Water in January and then be mobilized in March, I suppose it made more sense that we would actually see those changes a few months following the actual motion of the Wheel of Fortune.
This also made me think of the three-month integration period that was very prominent throughout the Soul Body era where things would show up on an unconscious or soul level for them, take three months to integrate into the conscious space, and would then take another three months to manifest physically. It’s not quite in the same timeframe, but maybe part of that is relevant here as things seemed to move through Water, Air, Fire, and then Earth, which can define a process of manifestation.
The overall pattern that I’m most interested in, however, is the fact that the separation of the soul body started “finalizing” in 2019, and their souls started to break away from each other in order to develop further as individuals in this lifetime. They were tethered together in the Soul Body, mimicking the formation of a singular soul while, after literally thousands of years of processing, operating with singular consciousnesses. So, of course, it was a delicate and slow process to actually anchor in and complete, but one that was meant to occur at a time when they had finished everything that they HAD to do (in terms of soul purpose) and now are able to do what they WANT to do as individuals. Now, keep in mind, that what they WANT to do may refer more to what they want to do on a soul level while some of them could be riddled with confusion or even fear around the changes and potential of moving forward individually, even if only on a temporary basis. In other words, it may look clean-cut, but when it comes to human consciousness and free will, nothing is ever truly so.
Also… what’s up with all these 3s? Three-month integration periods, three-year dismantling periods, then announcing their hiatus in 2022 (2+2+2), 9 years (3x3) after they debuted in 2013 (2+1+3)... and didn’t they first meet or get together in 2010 (2+1)? A good ol’ 369 progression, huh? Interesting.
If you’re confused, 369 is known as a universal code for manifestation. There’s a whole “manifestation method” based on it from Nikola Tesla apparently, but it has been a bit… commercialized over the years. 369 is the literal framework of the entire universe in terms of dimensional reality and conscious awareness and projection, so… when you see those patterns occurring in threes like that it can SOMETIMES refer to divine order or fated progression. Just something to consider.
I suppose we can get into the full reading now, but I want to explain a bit about what I‘m doing for this reading and why as it is just slightly different and slightly more compressed than the one I did for 2021/2022. Because they are aiming to do solo work and kind of going their own way or preparing to do so for the time being, I assumed that meant the overall energetic projection of all of them would be going in different directions as well, or at least one would hope. Because of that, I did sections based on collective influence or energetic projection for specific timeframes (June 2022 on its own and then 3-month time frames following until June of 2023) that could be a bit more vague or abstract as it is generalizing the influence of separate individuals who could potentially have completely different targets or focus of their own. I will also be doing a Group Energy Analysis in this reading to get an idea of where they are all at energetically right now, and then following the 3-month outlooks, I’ll have individual outlooks for each member covering the full year from July 2022 to June 2023.
The individual outlooks for each member will be a bit bigger than in the previous outlook reading as I’m not doing individual outlooks for each 3-month period, so hopefully, you can get a good idea of what is to come for them as they go forward.
There won’t be a month-by-month reading included just because I’m not sure how beneficial it would be if they are aiming to work separately. Things could appear a bit more scattered if they’re all doing different things and I’m trying to summarize it into singular bits of information month by month.
JUNE 2022
COLLECTIVE ENERGY
PLAY + TIFERET — HEART/BEAUTY + THE STAR
So, to begin, the current month of June holds energy that, superficially, seems to compete with itself while underneath it holds a lot more harmony and grace. Play seems to center more on the surface where connections are still very clear, stable, and defined with one another, and there’s a very optimistic and “playful” outlook that they share together. There is recognition that while they, in relation to the dolphins in the image, have swan together all this time, they’ve grown together and are now able to separate and explore that wide-open expanse around them. However, it doesn’t feel like they’re literally about to drift into entirely different oceans and never return, more so it’s like… they’re just expanding their horizons a bit. They’re still in eyeshot of each other, they’re just looking for more as individuals.
Tiferet, associated with the Heart and Beauty, feels more personal and individualistic. This one, sitting at the center, pulls the most focus, and for me carried a bit more of that wandering and confused energy. Especially with the image displaying a figure with a hollow chest, as if they are wandering around looking for their heart, finding their own center while moving through a new time and space entirely. This brought me to the Soul Body again where Jimin was the Heart, the center of the body that anchored everyone together. Jimin was the last to completely break away from the body and that makes me wonder if, on some level, he still acted as a heart or a framework of a heart for the seven of them. With everything completely separate, they are now individually looking for or seeking out that new heart, that new passion, that new personal fulfillment, and an individual foundation that is uniquely their own.
The Star is an aspect of higher guidance, the ripples in the pond and the separate streams created from the pouring water represent different pulses of energy, different streams of thought. They still exist in the same space, they are still connected, just as we see in the image of Play with the two dolphins, but they are able to operate on different levels without having to pull up or pull down in order to stay in line with each other. The stars in the sky also mirror this idea, with the seven white stars, which traditionally represent the seven main chakras of the body, and here represent the seven members individually. They are separate, but they surround this one major star in the center, just like the ripples in the pond and just like the separate streams that flow from one pitcher. It’s almost like BTS as a group is its own individual, while the seven of them exist separately from it. There is always going to be some kind of space for them to return to where those connections remain the same no matter what.
Actually, between Play and The Star, the idea of them separating in order to expand their horizons fits here as well. You can think of the yellow star as BTS, the group, while the seven white stars are them in their own right, existing as… you know… stars, celebrities, artists, in their own spotlight. They’re still hovering around BTS, they’re still in the space of the group, but they’re forging their own names and reaching for that personal passion, center, and heart.
Overall, it’s very focused on the idea of the Heart, the Heart Chakra, a center, a point of anchorage for them. Play is associated with the Heart Chakra, Tiferet is the Heart and Beauty, and The Star here represents separation from a point of a connection that can be returned to. Essentially, on a soul level, they’re rebuilding foundations that have been shaken up or dismantled completely, and there’s now an opportunity to do just that on a conscious and physical level as well. Announcing a hiatus, a break, or a change in direction to focus more on solo projects or interests, is what they need and is what they as individuals can benefit the most from.

GROUP ENERGY ANALYSIS - JUNE 2022
Surprising, yet not surprising, they do actually register energetically as being on the same page but looking in different directions. In spite of things being set into motion with the announcement, everyone here feels very still in their own energy. Some of them feel like they’re deep in contemplation, some like they’re drifting in the past, while others feel like they’re charging up. The only one that actually seems to be moving is Yoongi… which is… not what I’m used to, lol. All of them, other than Jin, feel like they’re getting ready to start something up that will be very noticeable, publicly displayed, or be very significant for them as individuals.
Other Reading: BTS Group Energy Analysis (2018)
Namjoon — The Hermit
Namjoon seems to be in his element. The Hermit is his card, carrying all that Virgo energy of his, but mostly bringing to the surface that isolated and contemplative state of being. This is where he analyzes and dissects experiences and emotions. It’s not clear whether this is something he is doing for the sake of creative processing, or if this is something he is doing for himself just to be able to figure out what he wants to do, what he can do, what he needs to do.
Namjoon, as I recall, was one of the members that struggled most with the fear of not having anything to do, or not having a sense of purpose or duty to fulfill. I can’t remember what reading it was, but I think I talked about then in regards to the Soul Body separation integrating and causing him to feel out of place, as if he wasn’t a leader anymore. Similar to Jimin, their placements on a soul level were so significant that even without being consciously aware of it, the changes within them can register quite strongly on a conscious level.
Jin — Queen of Pentacles
Jin’s position is very interesting to me as it shows him very much at ease in his own pocket. I don’t know if you guys have noticed this, but in so many readings regarding his connection to other people, money and business come up so often. It’s almost like, in some ways, he figures business and money are his way to take care of people. Not by literally giving money away, but by assisting others, helping them create businesses or expand their own finances. I know with Kook that there was a thing in a couple of different readings where there was a strong “mentorship” that kept coming up regarding business and finance as if Jin was teaching Kook how to invest and expand his money.

Jin always seemed very focused on expanding and working, building things up, reaching for the absolute most (big Sagittarius vibes on that one), but here, as the Queen of Pentacles, he’s settled down and just admiring what he’s made up to this point. Not just with money, but everything, all of his work, all of his progress alongside the group and personal work. It feels very peaceful and very self-focused. Nothing here is being pushed out toward the others, he’s just kind of in with himself.
It does have me side-eyeing a little bit because it almost seems too calm, like an old man who just retired is out on the front porch in his rocking chair admiring an old scrapbook or something… I mean, he could just be seeing this as the end to a major phase of his life, and having one of those midlife crises that we all have in our late 20s, early 30s, but like, in a low-key kind of way.
Also, I do like how he and Namjoon, even in this state, seem to be synced up in terms of themselves turning inward and just kind of looking at themselves and what’s been done and what comes next. They, as the two heads of the group, the eldest and the leader, always have some kind of synchronization when it comes to what they project into the group. Both of them are creating these very stabilizing although very detached energies that I think could actually be very comforting for anyone else in the group who may be anxious or a bit on edge about what to do or how to do it. They make it look like it just takes a bit of thought, a few conversations with yourself, a bit of consideration for your past, and boom, you’ll have your plan forward.
Yoongi — 3 of Cups
Yoongi’s projection here surprised me the most as with the 3 of Cups he feels so much more emotionally open and social, like making new friends, working with new people, and really connecting with new social groups entirely that are a nice match for him mentally, emotionally, and energetically. I was seeing it in a very interesting way where it’s like the 3 of Cups is a gathering of other old souls, other third-eye centers, celebrating and communicating on levels where verbal expression can’t actually occur. Essentially, it’s like he’s meeting up with other people who have also finished their obligatory soul work and now get to have fun and just be creative, and he’s going to find a place in those spaces that is very comfortable for him.
It feels like a breakout moment, as if he was kind of held down a bit in terms of emotional or creative expression and now he has the opportunity to just explore beyond what he himself thought he was capable of or what he thought was available to him.
Hoseok — 6 of Swords (read reversed, display upright)
Hoseok’s card was pretty interesting as it came out sideways and I was guided to read it in its reversed position, however, when I actually laid it down in the spread reversed, someone’s Guide popped in and was like, “no, no, no, display it upright. Read reversed, display upright.” I think I’ve only had this happen a couple of other times in readings, but I can’t remember the context of it.
Upright, the 6 of Swords is about an involuntary but necessary transition as it shows people escaping by boat from what we can assume to be some pretty bad circumstances back home. The transition between rough waters on one side of the boat and steady waters on the other give this sense of being pushed to safety by the sloshing waters. The trouble itself is, in a sense, trying to help the people. It feels like an extremely subdued Tower situation. One of the key details of the card is that you can not see where the people are coming from or where they are going, with both the back and front end of the boat hidden from sight. There’s confusion both around the problem and the solution, which is why the swords in the boat stand up in front of all of them, blocking their vision and presenting a lot of “what if’s” that could potentially breed more confusion or anxiety. Regardless of the fear, confusion, or lack of direction, the people in the upright 6 of Swords continue to move forward because they know that where they are heading is inherently better than where they were or where they are right now.
In reverse, the card becomes a little more complicated. In a more simplified interpretation, the reversed 6 of Swords can be a sign of someone denying a necessary change or transition, as if the fear and anxiety of what is to come, what the next destination is, has become so great that they would rather just sit in the boat in the middle of the water, or turn around and go right back to the chaos they had just left. It’s the newness and lack of predictability and control that can set them back, and it becomes a matter of overthinking.
On the other end, however, the reversed 6 of Swords can also indicate that the same kind of transition is occurring but more internally, more spiritually. You can imagine this reversed card as a moment in which the water, a symbol of the internal space, the emotions, intuition, and creativity, beat against the boat so hard that the swords fall down and all that’s left to focus on now is the water itself. From then on, it’s about navigating the water, navigating the currents, rather than looking straight ahead at the what if’s or the land on the horizon. It’s just about keeping the boat steady and making it to wherever in one piece.
For Hoseok, the internalized transition is lining up with an external transition, one that he may feel a bit anxious or overwhelmed by. He’s very steady in his boat, he’s very clear on the task of keeping the boat upright, but it seems like he’s not quite sure where he’s going to land when it's all said and done. What’s great though is that he is being guided by those heavier waters, he’s being pushed in certain directions by his own intuition, emotions, and creativity, but consciously he may still question things a bit too much or get in his own head about how things are going to turn out, just never enough to stop his boat from moving.
Jimin — 4 of Wands, Ace of Cups, The Hanged Man
When I was pulling for Jimin’s projection here, I said “send out the 4 of Wands if he’s on his life path 11 shit again,” and sure enough, the first card out was the 4 of Wands. I’ve been saying this for a while, and according to the messages I’ve received, a lot of other people have been saying this too — Jimin is up to something. It’s very internalized right now with the Ace of Cups and The Hanged Man, but it’s been internalized for so long now I’m just waiting for him to burst open like a big bag of confetti.
Between the Ace of Cups’ overflowing creativity and intuition and The Hanged Man’s obscure and altered perception of reality, Jimin may be working on some very interesting projects that could really stand out compared to some of the other members. Of course, this state could also be more personal, something he’s building up solely for himself, so really, we’d just have to wait and see.
Also, just as a note, Jimin, Taehyung, and Kook were the only ones I read for in this portion where I actually got to see their inner worlds again. I definitely wanted to mention Jimin’s because, if you’ve kept up with his readings alongside the relationship readings with Kook, we’ve kind of been tracking his soul development via the development of his inner world. I won’t go into a whole bunch of detail to explain things from other readings, but if you recall, there was a whole thing about him wanting to plant flowers or wanting to make a world of flowers but at the time, the soil or the ground in his world wasn’t fit to grow them. It was a whole thing, very dramatic. Well, currently, he definitely has a world of flowers and it’s behind this big white wall with the tiniest little hole in it to move through. It’s like a giant, massive field of wildflowers under a bright blue sky, with a sun that seems to eclipse in a one-third shadow over and over again. So, the light is never gone completely.

The only thing about the world that threw me off was that Jimin wasn't there at all, and part of me wondered if he was like… the world itself, as in like… he was the flowers, the sky, and the sun. Namjoon did that once a long time ago and I was very confused. But no, Jimin was not integrated into the world, he was just out and about. I ended up seeing him in Kook’s little world where he now has a bunker under the ground a fair way away from his little castle and mountain situation, a good sign of upholding boundaries between himself and other people, especially the public, which he was struggling with before.
Jimin wasn’t staying there though, he only came in after Kook started having a bit of stress over these worries or fears he had. Definitely won’t get into that in detail as it was a bit spooky and I really don’t want anyone jumping to conclusions about it, but Jimin just seemed to help him talk about it, and then turned the “images” of it into dandelion fuzz, blowing them away before replacing the images with others that were more happy and positive. So, in a sense, Jimin seems to be doing for Kook what Kook did for him, which is what Jimin did for him in the beginning… so they just flip-flopping for each other on a soul level, but now it’s at a nice point where they’re only there when they absolutely need to be. They can take care of themselves in their own worlds.
Taehyung — Knight of Pentacles
Based on previous readings and some development that we’ve seen with Taehyung, I was kind of hoping he’d have a bit more going on internally, but he’s pretty much still the same. His inner world is exactly the same as it was the last time I saw it, but he wasn’t split in two anymore. He’s guarding himself, holding himself in a cell, but he’s very observant of everything going on around both in this world and on a conscious level. He’s moving very cautiously on a soul level, and it feels like he’s doing this because on a conscious level, he’s moving a bit too fast, or thinking too fast, so that inner bit feels the need to keep everything on lock.
The Knight of Pentacles here painted a very interesting image of a farmer in a village, being watched by all of the villagers as he slowly and carefully plants seeds one-by-one, by hand in the barron field that you see in the image on the card. The villagers seem confused or bored with how slow the farmer moves, expecting nothing to sprout because of how long it's taking to plant. Then, suddenly, the villagers wake up one day and the entire field has bloomed into huge fruits, vegetables, and flowers of all kinds. It’s a slow start, but a surprising end, one that would keep a lot of people satisfied, well fed, and appreciative of the work the farmer did.
Taehyung has something, or a few things, he wants to share, wants to display, but he may be dropping little things here and there like seeds before those big blossoms take shape and we finally get to see the whole picture of what he wanted to show the world.
Kook — The Wheel of Fortune, Strength, The Emperor, Knight of Wands
Not surprised at all that Kook is completely made of Fire here and seems very eager to hop on that Wheel of Fortune and see where it takes him. Strength, The Emperor, and the Knight of Wands all scream personal authority, validation, creative freedom, expression, and action. Strength represents that inner strength, that personal validation that he’s given to himself by, in a sense, conquering major aspects of his self-perception and insecurity. This inner strength is what gives The Emperor his power, his rulership, and authority. This is Kook’s center at the minute. The Emperor is very clear in his vision and very commanding of action. Then, of course, the Knight of Wands, fire on fire, is the more externalized aspect of Kook, the Knight who takes the missions, plans, ideas, and visions of The Emperor and executes them with every last bit of will and determination he can muster.
Kook’s development, both externally and on a soul level, over the last few years has been just as incredible and intriguing to watch as Jimin’s, but Kook really seems to be gearing up to be loud as fuck about something or with something. All of this Fire energy coming through on top of the Wheel of Fortune… It's making me think of him rolling into a big city, spinning on a giant flaming wheel while heavy metal music blares from massive speakers. Like, he’s preparing to make an entrance in his own right and seems to be eager to do a lot of different things with a lot of different people.
Most importantly, there is so much confidence here with him and a lot of that seems to come from that “bunker” situation he has going on at his core, in his inner world. As I said, everything in his inner world is the same as it's always been, mountain included, but there’s now an underground area with a table and a few chairs where he seems to go in order to think and plan things out. His inner world on the surface is still so open to other people, very inviting, with little “security” there, but the bunker is his boundary. It’s not a place you can just walk into. His choice in creating this safe space, an inner space where he simply will not allow the outside world, the public, or the audience to have any say or influence over what he does, what he says, or who he chooses to be overall has really catapulted him into this self-assured and confident state of personal authority.
It’s just as calming and secure as it is explosive and earth-shattering.
JULY — AUGUST — SEPTEMBER 2022
COLLECTIVE ENERGY
TRUTH + YESOD — ROOT/CONNECTION + 2 OF SWORDS (REV.)
This is kind of interesting as this set really seems to hold obligation in the group, or hold them to the Root rather than to their individual Hearts. Going back to The Star, the Root here would be the yellow star, BTS as a group, so there’s something here about still focusing on group stuff, but… in an odd way. Truth and the reversed 2 of Swords make it feel obligatory and as if it’s not going to be quite clear to us as the audience or to them as a group. There may be changes to the plans, or an alteration of “the truth” regarding their plans forward. The public may perceive the group’s plans for future work very differently than what it actually is or was intended to be.
It’s hard to explain but it’s like they, or the company, would want to create the illusion, the “non-truth” that the group is still operating together, that there’s not a hiatus, break, or disbandment at all, when really there definitely is or there was supposed to be. There’s no choice or clarity in the matter according to the reversed 2 of Swords. I don’t keep up with much these days, but I definitely did see that thing trending about HYBE losing a billion dollars in shares or whatever after the announcement… So maybe that has something to do with this?
OCTOBER — NOVEMBER — DECEMBER 2022
COLLECTIVE ENERGY
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING + SIMIKIEL — ANGEL OF VENGEANCE + PAGE OF CUPS
+
JANUARY — FEBRUARY — MARCH 2023
COLLECTIVE ENERGY
INNER STRENGTH + KUSHIEL — ANGEL OF PUNISHMENT + PAGE OF WANDS WITH THE SUN
These two sets for the timeframe between October 2022 and March 2023 definitely need to be looked at together because they’re basically direct progressions descending with each set — Spiritually Awakening going to Inner Strength, Angel of Vengeance going to Angel of Punishment, and then Page of Cups going to the Page of Wands with The Sun.
I think we can all agree the Angel of Vengeance and the Angel of Punishment are creating some… vibes. In October, November, and December, with Spiritual Awakening and the Page of Cups, everything is definitely more internalized and is building up from the inside out. If you could imagine a situation where those who were searching for their Heart (Tiferet in June 2022) were forced to either pretend or actually re-engage with the Root (Yesod in July - September 2022), then the pressure would build up in this plan of action, this need for Vengeance with Simikiel in October - December 2022.
Obviously, I don’t think there’s going to be any major uproar, and if there was, I really don’t know if it would be a public thing, but we have seen something like this come up before in the 2018/2019 Outlook Reading. There was an interesting potential timeline that had come up for the second half of 2019. It’s weirdly similar to how that all felt, except this time there’s no divine intervention that could occur because this is a time centered around free will and personal direction. If anything or anyone were to try and hold them back or hold them to previous structures, only they as individuals would be able to actually do anything about it. There isn’t going to be another Soul Body Healing, there isn’t going to be any kind of heavy-handed guidance from their Guides or Higher Self. Any obstacle they face has to be overcome by free will alone.
A piece of the description for Simikiel, the Angel of Vengeance, stood out to me:
“While we will grid our fragile hearts against being hurt, pain will make its attempts on us by any means necessary. It is in our soul to survive at all costs, even if it means violence. Try to resist the urges of your barbed heart. Simikiel knows not forgiveness.”
That part of the description alongside Spiritual Awakening seems like some of them, if not all of them, really come to see how they are being limited or held back, tied down to old structures for the sake of something that does not benefit them or that they simply don’t need anymore. The Page of Cups is like this intuitive and creative surge coming through to the conscious mind, which could come out in more personal and private ways, or it could lead into some kind of display with the Page of Wands and The Sun.
In the second set, Spiritual Awakening falls into Inner Strength. What I mentioned with Kook’s energetic projection with the Wheel of Fortune, Strength, The Emperor, and the Knight of Wands rings true here as well. The Spiritual Awakening leading into a more self-aware and self-assured state creates Inner Strength in relation to personal authority and expression. The Page of Wands coming from the Page of Cups, Fire coming from Water, shows a direct line of expressing whatever it is that comes up from the cup in the first set. The Page of Wands is literally displaying his wand to The Sun, to the spotlight, to the conscious awareness.
Kushiel, Angel of Punishment, comes straight from the Angel of Vengeance as if the plan of vengeance is enacted here as punishment, and this punishment is expressed or acted on through the Page of Wands, to The Sun, with the backing and support of Inner Strength. In relation to the Truth card, or the lack of truth in the first set for July, August, and September, the “punishment” here could literally just be them telling the truth about… whatever was lied about or covered up before.
Just look at this bit from Kushiel’s description:
“The hunter whose prey is falsehood. Oathbreakers beware, Kushiel will seek you out. Even as you stalk your own victims, punishment is upon you. There are consequences for breaking your word, the pieces sharpen and sink into your flesh, embedding themselves within your heart.”
It is also very possible, based on Simikiel being described as carrying a double-edged sword, that vengeance or punishment could negatively affect the seven of them as well. There could be backlash or major misunderstanding from the public or even in the industry as a whole, which would very much so require Inner Strength and a strong sense of self-preservation to deal with.
And also, keep in mind that because they are operating separately, this may not directly affect all of them the same way. However, it does seem to be something significant enough that they would all be aware of it or dealing with it in some way.
APRIL — MAY — JUNE 2023
COLLECTIVE ENERGY
PEACE (REV.) + ZACHRIEL — ANGEL OF MEMORY + 10 OF SWORDS WITH 6 OF CUPS AND WHEEL OF FORTUNE
Following all of that wild energy from the previous six months, the final three months of this one-year timeframe is headed by the Peace card in reverse. Depending on how things play out with the previous six months, depending on how the individuals are affected by it, how public things are, and so on, the foundations overall could be quite rocky and unstable for them. This can also refer to a time of a lot of movement and a lot of change, as suggested by the 10 of Swords and the Wheel of Fortune.
Between the Wheel of Fortune and the 10 of Swords, there is the 6 of Cups, which relates to the past, memories, and childhood. That alongside Zachriel, the Angel of Memory, it’s quite interesting as we could assume something is happening at this time that is causing all of them to look back at their past, and look back quite fondly as suggested by the 6 of Cups.
The 10 of Swords and the Wheel of Fortune mirror each other, both number 10s, signifying points of transition following the finalization of the number 9. 1 and 0, which you can think of more so as The Fool, depict a threshold, an in-between state. The 10 of Swords features a person who has been stabbed to death, a person laying between life and death, as the storm clouds clear and the sun rises or sets in the distance — a transition between phases or time altogether.
The 10 of Swords is more physical and mental, more superficial, and in your face. You can’t deny the finality of what is depicted in the 10 of Swords. The Wheel of Fortune is more energetic, it’s higher up in influence and can dictate many different levels of experience and conscious awareness. While the 10 of Swords is experienced on the surface, the Wheel of Fortune is at work yet again shifting things into a more positive state for them. With the 10 of Swords being so heavy and really, truly, without any doubts at all, putting an end to a specific phase or state of being, it makes sense that this may be a time marked by them collectively looking back at their past, maybe even comparing old times to the current in order to see how things have changed and how it really has come to an end simply because it is not as fulfilling or as light as it used to be.
I do like the idea of Peace itself being restored by them literally remembering what Peace was, or what it looked like or felt like back in the day. This Peace could refer to the past as in the past state of their careers prior to 2018/2019, or it could refer to a Peace that they all felt long before they were ever famous as the 6 of Cups does focus a lot on childhood. In that sense, the Peace they rediscover could be something that brings them together or allows them to drift further apart. Again, we would just have to wait and see how this plays out for them.
INDIVIDUAL OUTLOOKS
(JULY 2022 — JUNE 2023)
NAMJOON
Higher Energetic Influence: Soul Time
State of Being or Soul Reception: The Mirror
Higher Guided Influence: Observer
External Guidance: Wasp Spirit — Sometimes life stings.
Internal Guidance: South Node — Don’t let your past hold you back.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Waxing Crescent Moon
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: Page of Wands + Four of Cups with 6 of Pentacles (rev.)
This is all quite literally just a more elaborate version of what came through with The Hermit in his current state in June 2022. With Soul Time being the higher energetic influence, The Mirror being his point of receptivity, and his higher guidance pushing him toward Observer… That’s literally just The Hermit working overtime. Namjoon’s time over the next year will be governed by a very self-reflective, self-analyzing state where he seems to be observing his rights and wrongs. This is a pretty common thing for him, he’s talked about himself and it’s come up in readings before as well. He’s judging himself through long-term self-reflection and is figuring his way forward alongside preparation for a creative expression of his own findings.
His internal and external guidance brings up what seems like a framework for him, a reminder of sorts. His external guidance will give him the message that “sometimes life stings,” which calls him to focus on the negative aspects, the painful bits that have occurred around him and to him, the stress, the anxiety, the depression, the anger, the hatred, all of it. He’s meant to look at it again, as he always has, but when he does he can sometimes, with that aspect of judgment, hold himself to the coals for things he’s already been forgiven for, either by himself or others. This is why his internal guidance gives him the note, “don’t let your past hold you back.” He can observe and learn from his past and his present, but only in order to expand and move forward, not to drown himself in guilt and misery.
This also brought to mind something very interesting and very important in terms of Namjoon’s and Kook’s development. I’ve talked about this before and went into detail about their relationship reading back in February of 2019. This is a snippet of what I said then regarding their roles and positions in the Soul Body at the time:
“Essentially, what this image shows is that, at some point, Namjoon and Kook will trade places. They won’t trade locations or overall functionality, but they will trade their modalities. Namjoon will become more introverted, more self-focused, while Kook will become more extroverted, more expressive, and engaged with the world around him in a more superficial way.”
Referenced: Relationship Reading for Kim Namjoon and Jeon Jungkook (2019)
In terms of Namjoon’s Hermit/Mirror/Observer state and Kook’s Wheel of Fortune/Strength/Emperor/Knight of Wands state… I’d say they’ve definitely switched places, they just had to separate from the Soul Body to actually do it. I suppose, in hindsight, that makes more sense. If they switched around while still part of the Soul Body, they probably would have thrown the entire system out of order again.
Namjoon’s conscious level focus or target over the next year will be put toward the Waxing Crescent Moon. The Waxing Crescent is about new beginnings as it is the phase that follows the New Moon, the phase where, from our point of view on Earth, the Moon is beginning to grow in the sky again. I actually found this really interesting as the description of this card in the book really seemed to line up with what Namjoon has here with his other cards as well.
“Growth can be broken up into two parts: obstacles, which are negative patterns from the past, and actions, which are changes made to achieve alignment. What this means is that focusing your energy toward what you want to accomplish is a form of self-care. Just resist the urge to overwater your garden, as you don’t want to end up with root rot.”
The obstacles and actions bit really seemed to line up with his internal and external guidance, while also giving more support to the expansion that can come with the observation of his own life, literally growing on his experiences, which is literally right in line with his soul purpose.
The conscious level action, display, or manner of focus alongside the Waxing Crescent is showcased with the Knight of Wands and the Four of Cups with the reversed Six of Pentacles. There’s an odd split here because on one end he has that Knight of Wands, similar to Kook, with that fiery passion to move, do, and achieve, but it is then offset with the Four of Cups and the reversed Six of Pentacles. There is an odd sense of guilt or pressure to the second set around this idea of not giving enough, while also not receiving enough to give. It’s a bit complicated.
Basically, this whole thing is about him doing his usual Namjoon-isms and dissecting his own feelings, ideas, and experiences in order to learn from them, just so that he can then turn around and teach those very same lessons to others either through music or through direct communication of those thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The Knight of Wands wants to just get up and do it, make the music, make the art, make the changes, but the 4 of Cups says, “you don’t have enough to give yourself,” while the reversed Six of Pentacles says, “you don’t have enough to give to anyone else either.”
Maybe on some level, learning to not let his past hold him back will go into learning that he doesn’t have to always have something to give, he doesn't always have to shred himself for the sake of creation, he doesn’t always have to be the leader. Or maybe there’s a lesson in learning that every little bit is important, every little bit matters, and it doesn’t have to be a full course meal every time in order for it to actually help him and help others.
JIN
Higher Energetic Influence: Prosperity
State of Being or Soul Reception: Kairos + The Heart
Higher Guided Influence: Treasure Island
External Guidance: Koala Spirit — Spirit has a plan.
Internal Guidance: New Moon in Sagittarius — Luck is on your side.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Pluto
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: Eight of Cups + Temperance
Much like Namjoon, Jin’s outlook over the next year seems very reflective of his current state in June 2022, just more elaborate. Currently, he was shown to be projecting the position of the Queen of Pentacles, this very easy and relaxed energy that, compared to previous readings, seemed a little out of character for him. This set here does a really good job at showcasing why there is such a difference in projection and what those changes may contribute to down the line.
His higher energetic influence for the next year is Prosperity and his higher guidance is pushing him toward Treasure Island. As I mentioned earlier with the Queen of Pentacles, he’s very focused on money and an overall sense of abundance — emotional abundance and a sense of personal security for himself and people around him. His point of receptivity is shown with The Heart and Kairos, and this is really where we get a better idea of why he’s so chilled out and relaxed and has this feeling of being “retired” with the Queen of Pentacles.
The Heart, in relation to all of the other mentions of the Heart and centers throughout the reading, is referring to his own soul, his own personal direction. This means that, regardless of what occurs from this point on, he is very much in his own lane, moving in his own direction, which, I suppose I shouldn’t expect anything else from a Sagittarius. The Heart card itself refers to the Heart as a place, an inner world, and with it comes a deeper inner knowing and clarity, a comfort in expansion and growth as you would simply know that where you are going and where you end up are all in alignment and of perfect benefit to you.
Alongside The Heart, he has Kairos, which is about time and synchronicity. It refers to a sense of time beyond time, a limitlessness, a space of no direction or definitive state of being. Anything and everything occurs all at once with just a matter of perception and perspective defining what you can experience in any given moment. In simple terms, Jin’s heart, his center, and his soul is in a state of Kairos. He is simply… leaving everything up to fate. That’s why it seems like he’s settled down and is not reaching for anything specific and is instead admiring what he’s already achieved so far. He doesn’t know what’s next and he doesn’t seem to mind that, he’s just letting things move as they need to and he knows that he can adapt to whatever comes his way.
I think, on a conscious level, the reason he is so calm about the uncertainty is that he is focusing so much on money and previous accomplishments. Even if nothing happens at all for him in terms of his career, he’s achieved enough at this point that he can be satisfied with his accomplishment and also feel secure with finances and future proceedings in business and whatever else.
His internal and external guidance both reaffirm this for him, expanding on this certainty and comfort with the messages, “Spirit has a plan,” from the Koala Spirit card and “Luck is on your side,” with the New Moon in Sagittarius. Both sides ensure that regardless of the sequence of events or how things play out, it’s all in his favor, and he’s very sure of this on a conscious level. He wouldn’t even need to really even ask himself or anyone else for reassurance.
His conscious level focus or target over the next year is represented by Pluto, the planet of Death and Rebirth, signifying great undeniable and unavoidable change. I suppose this makes sense in terms of maybe anticipating something out of his control (military service perhaps?) and just adopting this very serene and relaxed attitude about it, just waiting for that new phase to take him. A piece of the description of this card also felt very relevant to some of the other bits that came out for him here:
“Pluto in a reading points to a big change coming your way. It is likely an ending of some sort. This will feel like a sudden event, but if you look deep enough into your psyche, you’ll see that this was in the works for some time. This death needs to happen to make room for new life. The initiation of a new cycle is painful, but fighting it will just drag those feelings out.”
Again, Jin is so clearly aware of what is coming, or what is potentially on the horizon for him, and he’s accepted it enough to literally put the entirety of his fate up in the air to the point where he’s just chilling out as the Queen of Pentacles, finding reassurance and stability in what has already been acquired and accomplished. He is not in any kind of denial, he holds no fear, and the fact that Pluto is the conscious focus or target shows that while he may not be running at this ending, he sees it coming and has chosen to sit in place and wait for its arrival, enjoying what time he has left with the way things are right now. It’s heavy but it’s still very comfortable and relaxing moving through this energy.
His conscious level focus, action, or display is represented by the 8 of Cups and Temperance, which seems to be very fitting here. The 8 of Cups is all about letting go of the past and moving on even though it may be difficult or sad to do so. Temperance is about personal balance, creating harmony internally and externally, and the card from this deck puts an emphasis on time with the hourglass as the main image. It kind of paints this picture of the hourglass running out and then the person in the 8 of Cups (Rider-Waite version) willfully setting down those cups, and walking away. It feels very matter-of-fact and to the point. He’ll go when it’s time to go, but he won’t rush into it if he doesn’t have to.
YOONGI
Higher Energetic Influence: Communication
State of Being or Soul Reception: The Sustainer
Higher Guided Influence: Chaos and Conflict
External Guidance: Rhino Spirit — Overcome any obstacle. + White Raven Spirit — Trust in the magic.
Internal Guidance: New Moon in Aquarius — Bring love into the situation.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Lilith
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: The Fool + The Hierophant
Communication as the higher energetic influence, The Sustainer as the state of soul reception, and Chaos and Conflict as what Yoongi is being pushed toward with these energies gives off vibes that are very… Pisces in nature. Communication goes back to his current state with the 3 of Cups in June 2022, but here this aspect of communication and socialization feels a bit meatier, carrying more weight to it as it serves more of a purpose. In short, The Sustainer presents a motion in which communication is used to either bring order to or ease the devastation of Chaos and Conflict. This could show up more privately in his personal life, this could be something private or public with the group, or this could be something as public and big-picture as working with social and political issues.
The Sustainer itself is what made me think this held uniquely Piscean energy to it. The Sustainer is exactly what it sounds like, a person who holds shit together, someone who preserves, mediates and makes peace, or at least attempts to. The key factor here is that The Sustainer takes this on as an obligation. They, before anyone else, are able to see the issues that are coming up, can see the cracks in the foundation, and therefore are the first to set off the alarms and do what they can to guide people to a better outcome. Unfortunately, because they are the first to see the problems a lot of people either won’t believe them or will simply brush them off as being overdramatic or anxious over nothing. This can become very stressful and overwhelming as one can find themselves having to sit back and watch the world crumble around them while feeling somewhat responsible because they saw it coming, they could have prevented it.
While it’s not clear to me whether this chaos will be something observable to the public or something behind the scenes, it’s definitely something outside of himself that he’ll have to deal with. His external guidance gave him the message, “trust in the magic,” with the White Raven Spirit, numbered 66 in relation to Chaos and Conflict’s 33. It’s like a bit of reassurance that he may get intuitively or from someone around him that this chaos may be something that is for the best or beneficial in the long run. This could be related to the “non-truth” issue of July, August, and September, the Vengeance and Punishment situation from October to March 2023, or this could be a direct reference to the mirroring of the 10 of Swords (Chaos and Conflict) and the Wheel of Fortune (trust in the magic) from April, May, and June of 2023. Literally could be anything, I guess.
Either way, he’s going to feel the immense need to mediate and hold things together, using communication, very strong and vocal communication in order to do that.
Alongside the White Raven, his external guidance also presented the Rhino Spirit which says, “Overcome any obstacle.” Again, it’s reassuring and encouraging for a time when Chaos and Conflict are at the forefront of his experience. His internal guidance, reflecting both Communication, the 3 of Cups, and The Sustainer, gave him the New Moon in Aquarius which says, “bring love into the situation.” I think this is quite a fitting reminder or something he will have in him, patience mostly, that will help him to navigate, and help others navigate any major problems that come along. Rather than going all Virgo and exacting judgment, asserting his opinions and feelings over everyone else’s, he would instead be an open source for balance and understanding, a conduit of conversation.
Matching up with that bit of Chaos and Conflict, his conscious level focus and target are represented there by Lilith. Lilith as an archetype is an incredibly strong figure, one that can line up quite well with the Angel of Vengeance and the Angel of Punishment in the right circumstances. More than anything, this card is about being in a position where against oppressive authority you are forced to stand up for yourself and potentially even go as far as completely destroying what it is that stands against you… again, very vengeance, very punishment. With that being his main focus, I wonder if Yoongi himself would be the one to initiate some kind of response to any direct oppression that the group faces.
This has happened before as well where Yoongi has seen issues coming up, both consciously and intuitively, but back then, there was a major issue with him not speaking up. I can’t remember if I talked about it in a reading or if it was one of those things that was scattered around in a bunch of different posts, but I do remember being kind of annoyed at how clear everything seemed to him yet he just wasn’t saying anything.
If I remember correctly, it mainly had to do with the fact that, one, it was really just a bad feeling about a lot of good things that were happening, and two, most of the other guys were really happy and excited about the new opportunities that were coming up at that time. Maybe the major focus on communication and socialization is a kind of “redo” for what he didn’t do before.
The conscious level action, display, or focus is shown there with The Fool and The Hierophant which is also very, very interesting. The Fool initiates that new beginning, mirroring the Wheel of Fortune’s aspect of transition and expansion. The Hierophant settles best with The Sustainer, this aspect of authority in higher spiritual or even emotional and mental guidance. It’s a little hard to explain it as I’m seeing it, but it’s like he might be in a position where he’s seeing everything expand, grow, and evolve, but he’ll see loose ends, places where things could boil over or come undone. That’s where he comes in to sustain, hold shit together.
As I said, this could be something more personal, something that won’t be displayed to the public, and that does seem very likely with it lining up with issues the entire group could face, but it could also be something more public that he does on his own, such as with social issues or being more vocal and expressive about personal opinions or philosophies that start conversations with the public.
HOSEOK
Higher Energetic Influence: Tantric Journey
State of Being or Soul Reception: The Bardo
Higher Guided Influence: Message In A Bottle
External Guidance: Crow Spirit — Co-create with Spirit.
Internal Guidance: Full Moon in Pisces — Balance spirituality with practicality.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Eight House
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: Three of Cups (rev.) + Knight of Cups
Bruh… Similar to everyone else so far, Hoseok’s year ahead is just a bigger version of his current state with the reversed/upright 6 of Swords in June 2022. However, where the 6 of Swords showcased both an external and internal state of development, including spiritual development, the entirety of this layout here is completely focused on spiritual development and the expansion of vision, consciousness, and spiritual perception. Very much so geared up to have some kind of major upgrade within himself.
Similar to Jin, Hoseok feels a bit more isolated even here and he may be more private, more self-involved, or just more focused on personal projects, external progression, and expansion that would coincide with deeper, more personal development.
To start off, his higher energetic influence is Tantric Journey and I have no better way to explain what this means specifically without just including two sections of the description:
“The frequency of Tantric Journey helps us to unlock the hidden knowledge and wisdom that we intrinsically hold about how to reach a state of wholeness and completion through our sensual experiences with ourselves and with another.”
“The journey into Tantra is about the expansion of consciousness. The word Tantra can be translated as “that which goes on expanding.” It primarily uses the senses as a pathway toward focusing the mind and ultimately letting go of that mind to reach a state of internal oneness.”
The Bardo, his state of soul reception to Tantric Journey, refers to a liminal space, a point of transition. Again, this is a direct reflection of the 6 of Swords, both upright and reversed. The Bardo creates an internal or external space where an individual moves between their own personal states of being, as well as between states of consciousness and awareness.
“In The Bardo, there is potential to forgive the unforgivable, to say the unsaid, to see The Unseen, to love the unloved, to let go of all the things that cause us pain. The Bardo suspends us in its spaciousness for just long enough to open us to higher wisdom. Its energy does not belong to Earth as we know it, but rather to the Cosmic network of which we are a single thread.”
It’s set up really nicely there with The Bardo literally being the ultimate state of reception to what Tantric Journey has to offer. Alongside that, his higher guidance is pushing him toward Message In A Bottle, which is about receiving messages, guidance, and clarity from the Universe as a whole. On either side of Message In A Bottle, his inner and external guidance continue to point him in the same direction with the Crow Spirit saying, “Co-create with Spirit,” and the Full Moon in Pisces saying, “balance spirituality with practicality.” On both ends, he’s being encouraged to engage with himself internally and intuitively, reach The Bardo and sit in receptivity, while also being guided to blend that internal processing with external work and development, both psychologically and spiritually. It’s very interesting.
Just as fitting, his conscious level focus and target are the Eighth House, the space of the internal deep dive, shadow work, and our first real connection to the higher unknown. This also would suggest the aspect of isolation or more private and individualistic processing as the Eighth House is usually better handled with solo exploration of the subconscious and unconscious mind, touching on fear, insecurity, and trauma. In relation to solo work and solo projects, this could also be related to exploring his own being, his own ego, and persona in order to better express himself or share more with his audience. Although, considering how far this goes with everything else, if that is a factor, I would assume it’s only a small part of this ordeal for him.
Personal development through the Eighth House can focus a lot on recognizing negative aspects of the self and letting them go, letting go of harsh parts of your past, and working toward redefining your sense of self and your sense of the world around you. This made me think of some heavier issues that came through for him throughout the Soul Body manipulation through 2018 and 2019, relating to anxiety, depression, and some other personal troubles regarding how he would cope with heavier emotions. I wonder if maybe some of this stuff, as it might not affect him as drastically now, is what he is processing or exploring here.
The conscious level display, action, and focus of the Eighth House is represented by the reversed Three of Cups and the Knight of Cups. The reversed Three of Cups does point, again, to isolation or keeping things to himself and taking time to communicate more within himself than with others. The Knight of Cups is what makes me think that some, if not all of this could be going into creative expression. There’s Fire being put to all of the Water energy here with the Knight of Cups and turning all of this internal storm into something streamlined, something that serves a purpose beyond himself.
JIMIN
Higher Energetic Influence: Remembrance
State of Being or Soul Reception: The Shadow
Higher Guided Influence: Co-Create
External Guidance: Turkey Spirit — Give with gratitude and grace.
Internal Guidance: Full Moon in Leo — Don’t let pride get in your way.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Aries
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: Strength (rev.) + Five of Pentacles
The mix between the higher energetic influence of Remembrance and the soul receptivity being The Shadow made me think of the image of the Rider-Waite version of Strength where we can see a woman petting a lion. In this case, it’s like Jimin taming his own shadow, embracing the light and dark sun cycle he had before and using these two sides together. The higher guidance of Co-Create also pushed me toward that idea when it comes to creation occurring from the inside out. This may go into why I was seeing the sun in his world as being partially eclipsed, cycling through in phases where only a curved stripe moved across the sun, casting a line of shadow over the land briefly. The Shadow is still part of the mix, but it does not slam his inner being into darkness anymore.
I find this to be very interesting because in early June I did a personal reading for someone where I talked a lot about Libra and how Libra looks at Scorpio (the shadow) at different stages of its own development, and how that can register with all of us as we move through the 7th and 8th House within our own development. I’ll include what I wrote in that reading here for reference — and don’t worry, there is no personal information or personal aspects of the reading in this, it’s just a piece of my explanation.
“At its lowest development, Libra rules over conformity and assimilation, asking what do I need to do to be accepted, who do I have to be in order to be liked, how can I stay in line with everyone else? It’s sometimes a matter of safety and assurance, the need to assimilate and conform. Libra doesn't like being alone or feeling isolated. Because of this, Libra, in its first stages, is petrified of Scorpio and the 8th House.
Scorpio and the 8th House represent two things that the lesser developed Libra is afraid of — truth and isolation. The 8th House is where we throw out all of the things that we do not want to acknowledge about the world around us and all of what we do not want the world to acknowledge about us. Trauma, fear, and insecurity are hidden away there, but along with them are self-awareness, personal responsibility, brutal honesty, and authenticity. The 8th House and Scorpio represent unabashed individualism and coming out of the 7th House/Libra, that individualism can seem world-ending as it marks the point in which you separate from the collective and the reality that formed with externalized foundations.
However, at its most developed, at its highest form, Libra is Justice. Libra becomes a mediator, a very conscious and self-aware go-between between all voices, minds, ideas, and perspectives. At this point, Libra is able to look at Scorpio and say, “we need this.” We need those parts of ourselves in order to know who we are, and we need to know who we are in order to truly know the world around us.”
Jimin has gotten to a point in his own soul development where he can look at both the light sun and the dark sun and say, “I need them.” He needs both, both are part of him, and both need to be accepted and work together on some level. There’s a very strong sense of duality that comes through with this as well, which settles very nicely with his Chiron and North Node being in Libra and his Mars being in Scorpio. This aspect of personal healing and “upgrading” will contribute to passionate and direct action or display.
I find it kind of interesting to think about how the dark sun and light sun existed separately before, and now they exist as this altered eclipse. If he were to create from this, he would be creating, projecting, communicating, displaying, and even performing the energy of an eclipse, specifically a solar eclipse.
A solar eclipse occurs during a new moon when said new moon temporarily blocks out the sun, and the shadow of the moon is cast on the Earth. It signifies great change, as does a lunar eclipse, but a solar eclipse can be more heavily associated with things coming out of the dark, something brand new or previously unknown coming to the surface in a very strong and forceful way. In the Black Moon Astrology book, the Solar Eclipse is associated with Revolution and an included quote from Bill Viola says, “Revolution is actually something that starts in individual hearts.”
I thought that quote was really interesting here in context with the seven of them being pushed towards finding their own hearts/centers or learning to work from them individually.
All of this really seems to fall into what has been coming up for him a lot over the last couple of years regarding Jimin coming into his own power as some kind of initiator, icon, and inspiration for a lot of people. It’s never been extremely clear when it comes to what exactly he is going to do, or even what he is meant to do individually, only that it would shake things up, cause a lot of conversation, inspire a lot of people, and be a source of change in how things work on a collective level — something I always thought referred to the entertainment industry, but it could go beyond that as well.
His external guidance gave him the Turkey Spirit which says, “Give with gratitude and grace,” while his internal guidance gave him the Full Moon in Leo which says, “Don’t let pride get in your way.” In relation to the eclipse energy, his shadow, and that higher developed Libra energy, it’s like both of these messages are geared toward his creation, or what he chooses to display. It’s a reminder to not be too in his head about it, not to fall back into old habits where everything is a superficial image and nothing else, to give his story, to give his creation over to the world with humble and graceful confidence and self-assurance that lets people know he stands by it regardless of the reaction. Appreciation is shown to those who accept it, and no mind is paid at all to those who don’t.
Down below, his conscious level focus or target is represented by Aries. Aries represents a spark of inspiration or a call to action, the first pulse behind bringing something to life. Jimin is being guided intuitively and consciously to initiate something brand new and something that is under his own authority. Aries can come with a sense of rebirth or complete transformation following the deconstruction of Pisces’ dark water fish, which flows into the light water fish which births the new beginning. This image and idea reflect creation from the energy of a solar eclipse, or from his newly unified and harmonious light sun and dark sun.
On either side of Aries, his conscious level display and action are represented by Strength in reverse and the Five of Pentacles. This is pretty confusing because at first glance it’s like both of these cards show him, on a surface level, feeling like he just doesn't have enough in him or around him to actually pull off that Aries initiation, as if he is missing both the energy and the resources. I feel like, in spite of all of this positive pushing forward coming straight through his soul, consciously he may still be a bit timid or concerned about really stepping out in the way that his soul is wanting to.
The reminder from that Full Moon in Leo may also be an issue if he still has a lot of concerns about how people will see him, and maybe even see the group due to his expression or creation. I think, regardless of current insecurities or sense of lack, he will eventually get to that point of a total and complete expression of the solar eclipse.
TAEHYUNG
Higher Energetic Influence: Passion
State of Being or Soul Reception: The Starborn
Higher Guided Influence: Milk and Honey
External Guidance: Mouse Spirit — Tend to the small things.
Internal Guidance: Blue Moon — Believe in the impossible.
Conscious Direction, Focus, or Target: Ascendant
Conscious State, Action, Focus, or Display: The Star + Four of Pentacles
I’m going to be very short with Taehyung’s outlook because of the whole “can’t say too much” thing that he still has going in my readings, but I will say he’s not split in two anymore in his core/inner world, but he is still “self detained” in that little room which used to look like a hospital room (like a psychiatric hospital) and now looks like a very nice prison cell. Why is he locking himself up like this? I couldn’t even begin to guess.
Much like with Jimin and Kook, I wasn’t actually trying to get that close or engage with the inner world, but I think once I got into Jimin’s, the other’s just followed? I think? As I said, not much of a talker anymore but the first three cards pulled he wanted to pick for himself. The rest of the cards following that were pulled normally and were mostly projected through a Guide — he only had one with him in there.
Passion, The Starborn, and Milk and Honey were the ones he chose, so I don’t actually know if they reflect what he’s supposed to do, what he wants to do consciously, or what he’s trying to do on a soul level. The three of these cards together suggest a time of healing and rediscovering passion, or even the Heart, as The Starborn refers to a fated individual, one with a clear destiny or purpose. So, essentially, he’s using Milk and Honey, a time of healing and relaxation, to rebuild, reconnect, or rediscover his own destiny. This may be completely isolated to a soul level, meaning just the Taehyung inside the cell/hospital room is doing this while conscious level Taehyung goes about his business as usual.
The external and internal guidance seems to directly reflect his June 2022 state with the Knight of Pentacles, or the farmer who planted seeds slowly in a field before they suddenly and dramatically burst into full blooms of fruit, vegetables, and flowers. The external guidance, the Mouse Spirit, saying “tend to the small things,” rings true to the slow and tedious planting of the individual seeds, the slow and steady build-up that may be better for him as he gets things rolling with any major solo projects. His internal guidance, the Blue Moon which says, “believe in the impossible,” urges self-confidence and self-assurance, and genuine faith and trust in his own capabilities.
His conscious level focus or target is the Ascendant, which for both Soul-Taehyung and Surface-Taehyung settles as a mission to find and express the most authentic version of himself. This has been something that’s come up many times for him. The description for this card is very on point, touching on both aspects of Taehyung’s awareness and development:
“When the Ascendant appears in a reading, it is telling you to be your most authentic self. You have so much to offer the world, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of who you are. Don’t wait until your time here is almost over before you start actually living. Throughout life we all encounter people who don’t like us, and it isn’t worth giving them a second thought. Put your energy into your own personal development, and the right people for where you are in your journey will find you.”
I can picture Soul-Taehyung saying all of that to Surface-Taehyung as he forces himself to look in the mirror and just… stare into his own eyes and figure out who is really looking back. Kind of trippy, I know, but has any reading for Taehyung ever just been normal?
The conscious level direction, display, and action are shown with The Star, which mirrors the Ascendant, and the Four of Pentacles, which mirrors that slow, steady, and cautious state he is in currently and may be in over the next year. It’s shooting for the stars with the soul, and aiming for the ground with those seeds, and then somehow, eventually, at some point, bringing those two halves together on a conscious level when everything blooms. The Star is very internalized, very high up, while the Four of Pentacles is very grounded and structured, more in line with external planning and action.

Low key, Kook’s initial set made me want to cry. Universal Love, The Vessel, and Loyal Heart all go back to many different aspects of his soul, his eternal state of being as the first to descend, the one closest to the outside world, the one who, on a soul level, has the most direct contact with anyone and everyone who comes into his line of sight.
I’ve explained before, a long time ago, how he used to hold all these energy lines, like hundreds of thousands of them from people he’s familiar with, spoken to only once, or even just made eye contact with. As a soul, he is so comfortable with human consciousness because he’s held it the longest. The absolute best parts of humanity are what his soul focuses on, which is why his world was always so open. He now has boundaries up as it was necessary for his own sanity, but his soul still reaches for that connection.
It’s very interesting because the first two cards, Universal Love as the higher energetic influence, and The Vessel as the soul reception, quite literally suggest that he is a vessel for Universe Love, he is a conduit for it. He has so much love and optimism towards life, but, as I’ve touched on before, he has, or maybe used to have, anxiety around the happy times ending, a sad outlook around the idea that you can’t exist in singular moments forever. Part of what came up while in his inner world was this anxiety around the loss of the Soul Body, the loss of those connections that he has been tethered to on a soul level for thousands of years. It’s hard to explain, but there’s an overflow or a rushing wave of water that is moving or will move through his soul space in order to wash away that anxiety.
Loyal Heart is, in a sense, a simplified version of this wave, something that would register more for him on a conscious level to mirror that soul-level wave. It’s a recognition of loyalty, loyalty going both ways. It’s an understanding that you don’t actually have to be tethered to other souls, or right next to other people, in their line of sight 24/7 in order for that love, trust, and appreciation to still be there. He doesn’t have to “play his part” in order for his existence to be appreciated or loved, he can branch out, separate, and develop individually and still have that feeling of home to return to.
It’s interesting as well because it’s like on a conscious level, he’s already ready to go, he’s blown right past those insecurities and fears and has launched himself into his own authenticity and passion-fueled exploration and creation. However, his soul is still a bit confused on how to actually operate 100% without all these lines.
It’s kind of like how Jimin was where he, on a soul level, he was very, very, very against the Soul Body separating because it hadn’t been done before. He was afraid of being left alone, and he was afraid of being left without a purpose — a heart without a body. It seems like even though development is occurring, the conscious mind is pushing the soul way more than the soul is pushing the conscious mind… which is interesting. It’s giving me this feeling that Soul-Kook just doesn’t know how to be self-focused or self-centered the way Surface-Kook has learned to be, operating for himself and doing things because he likes it, he finds it fulfilling, without too much concern for what others expect or accept.
It’s just a learning process, I suppose, something to get used to the same way Jimin did. As I mentioned, Jimin does seem to be helping Kook the same way Kook helped Jimin before, but this time it’s less involved and only occurs when absolutely necessary… like when Soul-Kook is filling his own head with horrific images representing his anxiety around their souls not being tethered to each other anymore.
His external and internal guidance seem to focus more on surface-level matters, but they can still connect to his soul aspect as well. His external guidance gave him the Skunk Spirit which says, “know your worth,” referring to his place, or his role in the group, the industry, in the eyes of friends, family, and his audience. It’s a reminder to not put himself in a position where he has to be the one to bend and break in order to please others, to not go on pretending to be something he isn’t in order to keep fans satisfied. He has so much more to offer than that.
His internal guidance gave him the New Moon in Capricorn which says, “your hard work is paying off.” This is reassurance, confirmation that everything he does with clear intention, passion, and genuine enjoyment will without a doubt be successful, it will be appreciated and loved. The New Moon in Capricorn also suggests further elevation in the public eye through personal work as well.
Just like Jimin, Kook has Aries, which is the urge to start something completely new, as his conscious level focus or target over the next year. This reflects all that Fire energy he’s building up in June 2022 with Strength, The Emperor, and the Knight of Wands. It seems like it would come on a lot faster and a lot stronger than Jimin’s Aries explosion. As I said, Kook already seems very, very eager to start doing more, trying new things, sharing his work, and working in general. He just seems to be at a point now where he’s broken down enough of those personal walls and insecurities that he just wants to keep moving in order to avoid ever standing still for the sake of other people’s satisfaction ever again.
The last two cards, the reversed Three of Cups and the reversed Seven of Pentacles, seem to hold a bit of a warning in their display of his conscious level action and focus. The reversed Three of Cups points to isolation, but in this sense, it’s just reflecting that more self-focused state of mind where he really just doesn’t want to have to take in the opinions or suggestions of others, which leads to the reversal of the Seven of Cups. The reversed Seven of Cups points to a lack of material success, a lack of results from his efforts. This is not the direct outlook, it’s not what he is currently heading toward, but rather this is showing a potential in which he kind of just… loses his heart, loses his center, or completely becomes misaligned with his own soul.
It seems to be a matter of balance that he will have to learn to keep between his conscious state and his soul state, balance concern or consideration for others with the upkeep and validity of his own wants and needs, his own vision and direction for his life, career, and personal expression. I think in this case, he too would have to rediscover and reconnect to his heart in that matter.
The other potential outcome, which is more likely as literally, everything else is pushing for it here, involves both cards being upright. Open, honest, and emotionally supportive conversation and assistance leading into very strong, stable, and even more assured progress, creation, profit, and fulfillment.
And that’s all I have for this one, thanks for reading!
