JUPITER IN PISCES
Tae is special. He’s an eccentric who is at once unplaceable and larger than life. He follows a particular set of personal standards while being unpredictable. He’s a lover of classical, timeless things who values surprising us with his individuality. He’s cheesy and cliché, and he gets away with it because he understands the power of what he presents and how he conveys meaning. Tae is a contrarian; what you see is what you get, but it always feels like he hasn’t shown us all of his cards just yet. All of this is to say that he represents what it means to be Jupiterian and Saturnian at the same.
Happy Birthday Taehyung!
Happy birthday to our dear Capricorn stellium king, Kim Taehyung / Tete / thv! ARMY, let’s take a moment to express gratitude for how much Tae has fed us this past solar return. Especially recently—from his LA/Hawaii escapades, deleted IG stories, FACIAL HAIR, and of course his tarot reader persona (I’m not over it and never will be)… it’s been great to see him explore/share his individuality, despite the collective difficulties we’re all feeling.
VENUS RETROGRADE
Venus stations retrograde at 26 degrees of Capricorn on the 19th of December, its motion appearing to reverse through the sky until the 29th of January 2022. When a planet is retrograde, linearity has less of the usual grip on its function. Instead, the motion is a kind of wandering, searching and excavating which can unearth essential hidden information.
Happy Jin Super Tuna Solar Eclipse Day!
Happy Jin Day, ARMY, and greetings from the departures gate at LAX! What a day/week it’s been for each fan and all of the members. Four days of BTS concerts, one night of Jingle Ball, multiple vLives, WeVerse and Twitter posts, and of course the release of the masterpiece “Super Tuna” (#SOTY #GiveKimSeokjinAGrammy). Much like Kim Seokjin himself, there’s a lot happening all at once, and all of it is over the top.

What led you to BTS? In 2017, my friend who was into K-pop kept mentioning a song called “Blood, Sweat and Tears.” Apparently it had gone viral and was displayed on many TV music channels so I went home and listened to it. It was my first time listening to BTS and without realizing I had already been hooked! So then obviously I went into research-mode and then long story short I became a huge fan. Over the years, I realized that BTS has been a huge inspiration for me. Most of the art I create is inspired by them, their lyrics, and the things they say, even their fashion sense.
A Collective Tarot Reading for the Week Starting November 27th
Hi ARMY! What a week it’s been. By which I mean of course that BTS are in LA, and have been on some very hot behaviour since arriving in the City of Angels.
Hobi and maknae line went to see Harry Styles in concert and we got to see them vibing, drinking, singing along and enjoying themselves in a way that was just really special. Then, they attended the AMAs, where they performed (twice!) in front of a live audience for the first time in two years. Not only did they win 3 awards including Artist of the Year, it looked like they had a great time in the audience, my personal favourite part of which was their dancing during New Edition and New Kids On The Block’s joint performance. Compared to their debut 4 years ago at the AMAs, BTS are there this time as confident, mature artists who can navigate and have established their power in American spaces, but are still unapologetically themselves (see Jinkook on stage during their AOTY acceptance speech).
THE MAGICIAN — magic is storytelling
The number 1 of the tarot, the channeller, the magic-worker, the mercurial & intemperate embodiment of a sudden chill autumn breeze — the magician works with intent, but an intent that is unfixed & changeable. Like its astrological correlate, mutable Gemini, the magician's attention is at once focused, determined, calculated — and — divided, shifting, flexible. Both at once. Without contradiction.
Happy Anniversary to BE — on non-linearity, creating comfort and the Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus
One year on from the release of their album, BE, BTS are preparing to fly to the US for a schedule of awards, performances and, finally (!), their first live concerts since the outbreak of the pandemic last year.
It feels fitting, somehow, that we have a full moon eclipse happening in Taurus on the 19th of November. Not only does it open this end-of-year eclipse season, it marks the beginning of a significant shift of the lunar nodal axis. For the past 18 months, the eclipses have cracked open, shifted and reshaped the Sagittarius and Gemini areas of our lives. After a last solar eclipse in Sagittarius on December 4th, we will move into a new 18 months of growth and change where the Taurus-Scorpio axis lands for us, starting during Taurus season next year.

It should really be no surprise to anyone that I eventually got into BTS. I’m a sucker for deep lyrics and catchy melodies, I think pop is a highly underrated genre, and I grew up listening to a number of bands from around the world who sang in languages other than English.
New Moon in Scorpio
Hi again, ARMY! The New Moon in Scorpio occurs on November 4, 2021 at 2:15 PM Pacific. New Moons occur when the sun and moon are conjunct, and this particular lunation is in opposition to Uranus. And the day after on November 5, Mercury enters Scorpio and Venus enters Capricorn. There's a lot going on! 😵💫 If you haven't already read Kirstin's week ahead post, I highly recommend to get a better sense of the Scorpio Season vibe!!
The Week Ahead Tarot Spread
Scorpio season is the heart of fall in the northern hemisphere. And if fall is a season of death, transition, slowing down and moving inwards in preparation for the blank slate of winter, then Scorpio (and Mars ruling this sign) embodies the art of creating stability in the liminal, of making homes for ourselves within processes of change.

I learned about BTS through my sister who has liked them since 2019! When the pandemic started, we moved back to our parents house so we could all be in quarantine together. It was around June, when they hosted Bang Bang Con, when she started to show me some of their MVs and Run BTS episodes so I could watch the live concert with her (since it was her birthday as well!) and not be so confused.
Full Moon in Aries
How are we feeling now that Mercury and Jupiter are both direct, ARMY? This week’s astrology is already so potent, including the Full Moon in Aries that occurs on October 20, 2021 at 7:57 AM PDT. Full moons occur when the Sun and Moon are opposite in the sky, with the Earth aligned between. Our bodies and emotions are most affected on the full moon, and is an ample time for magic and connection!

My obsession with BTS began in March 2020 — do you remember that time? How could we forget? Finding myself with more free time than I knew what to do with and through the curated guidance of my best friend Kat and my teenage mini-me Annie, I found myself in a deep, DEEP BTS hole. And to my own surprise, and the surprise and my closest circle... I kinda liked it here.
