Well, with the 8 of Wands, Strength, and Ace of Wands whipping themselves out across the table together, I was really zeroed in on Hoseok. If some of you recall, for some reason, Hoseok is still represented by Fire energy, specifically, Leo energy. Why is that still a thing? I don’t fucking know, but that’s him. He’s the one snooping around the most.

And a lot of that is really fueling that Fire energy that he has, which isn’t really the best thing for him. As you can see, his snoopy snoop snoopness is leading directly into the 5, 7, and the 10 of Wands. A lot of tense and very scattered Fire energy. It’s a lot of frustration, anger, defensiveness, and then just this big weight on him. Most likely he’s reading negative things about himself.

He seems to be taking it to heart as The Moon is directly beneath those energies. So, it’s like, no matter what, those negative things are always lingering in the back of his head. They’re distorting a lot of things when it comes to how he views himself.

But then there is recognition through The Devil and The Lovers, that he’s kind of playing a part in giving himself that stress by seeking it out or paying more attention to it than he should. Even in the layout here you can see that there’s more stimulation to The Devil than there is to The Lovers. The only card The Lovers has connected to it is the Page of Cups. It’s his Water energy.

His Water energy, a very big and dominant driving force for him, is fueled by The Lovers, the more positive and encouraging aspects of what he reads about himself and the group. Even still, compared to the three Wands cards, the Page all by himself seems a bit imbalanced, but when he is in that state, fully focused on The Lovers, he is really in himself and inspired.

I imagine this is the same for all of the members if and when they are really being down on themselves. Like, sometimes when people feel like they really messed up they’ll hate on themselves so hard that they’ll seek validation for that negativity. It’s like they’ll want people to agree with them that they are awful, so they’ll fish for the opposite of compliments and just let people shit on them. Some of the guys might do that sometimes, but with Hoseok, I don’t think that’s what he’s trying to do specifically because there’s no sadness to it, there’s just confusion and frustration.

He’s not being down on himself when he reads it. It’s more like he’s genuinely curious about what people are saying, finds negative stuff about him, gets lost in it, and then sits there wondering what he’s done wrong? A lot of that frustration comes from the fact that he’s seen the same thing so much that he’s almost ready to argue with people about it. Then it just piles on him with that 10 of Wands and it sits in the back of his mind.

Very, very different than what he presents through the Page of Cups.
