“Distant, out of place, and not happy to be here,” is what came up with the first three cards. The 6 of Swords, The Hanged Man, and the 9 of Swords all relate back to the mind and all paint a picture of discomfort or a “misplaced” feeling. Upon first meeting, depending on how Taehyung chooses to interact with someone, he either comes off as unhappy or overly joyous, but either way, people tend to see him as being “not where he should be.” It’s really weird. Literally, no matter what he does it seems like people will see him as sticking out in a way that seems uncomfortable.

I was seeing this as having to do with more superficial aspects such as physical appearance, barriers with language, and body language. It’s all very upfront and it’s projected — although, I can’t actually tell if what is being projected is Taehyung’s own energy, like a “fuck off” kind of vibe that people pick up on sometimes, or if it’s literally the other person’s own perception being projected and reflected back to them. I talked about how Taehyung has a talent for literally showing people what they want to see, good or bad, in his Elemental Alignment readings (Part 1 + Part 2). 

Just to check in on it, I did pull again for what Taehyung is projecting in moments where people are perceiving this “out of place” energy, and with that, I got The Magician… which tells me nothing, honestly. The Magician is just vibing, but he’s also, you know, manipulating energy, forming the image he wants you to see. Of course, without a doubt, if Taehyung doesn’t want to be friendly with a person he can put that out there pretty clearly, and it’s the same when he does want to be friendly, but that still doesn’t give me a lot of clarity on why people see him as being out of place or like he doesn’t belong in that space when they are looking at him to the point where they are uncomfortable or intimidated. There’s plenty of reasons to come up with based on physicality and such, but like I’m really drawing a blank on how he can FEEL out of place to people just based on the first impression, and why he might want them to see him like that if he is projecting that intentionally.
