CAPRICORN SEASON
Welcome to Capricorn season! It’s time to lay the foundations and set intentions for the year ahead. Good things come to those who wait - that’s what Capricorn season wants to teach us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEOKJIN!
Our favorite fake maknae is starting his mandatory conscription in a little over a week and won’t be making public appearances for at least a year and a half while he serves his duty. But before we get into our feelings on that, let’s take a moment to celebrate the gorgeous goofball’s 30th birthday with a deep dive into his birth chart!
INDIGO CHART READING
“I have spent a long time in the dark searching for answers to what I want and who I am. I call this artwork Indigo,” says Namjoon (RM) in one of the teaser clips for his debut studio album Indigo, out on December 2nd. This is a dive into the astrology of that artwork, and what it might reveal about the colors, textures and stories Namjoon has chosen to offer us.
DECEMBER BTS TAROTSCOPES
Hey ARMY! Here are your tarotscopes for December! Check your sun ☀️, moon 🌝 and rising 🌅 for a complete reading! As always with tarot, only take what you need/take what’s relevant to you 💝.
LIBRA SEASON
Jimin is our Libra sun of BTS, a light of care and kindness and dichotomy of allure and softness. Grace and sharpness balancing on scales with effervescence and honesty. He is true to who he is at each passing season. Jimin embodies the Justice card by his caring and his gentle insisting on being kind to oneself. His attention to the climates of those he loves. Jimin is the one to come running when he hears you’re crying, the one to laugh with his entire body at your cheesiest jokes.
Happy Birthday Jungkook!
A true Virgo Sun, we’ve seen in promos for “Me, Myself & Jungkook: ‘Time Difference’” that he really focused on small details to achieve the concept he wanted to portray, right down to the beading on his wardrobe for the shoot, while his Leo Moon makes it a project that is more of a performance than a simple series of photos. And his (likely, but as yet unconfirmed) Libra Ascendant would ensure a relatively easy and painless production period with very few snags, very much in keeping with our Golden Maknae’s reputation.
VIRGO SEASON
Happy Virgo Season! On August 22, 2022 the Sun moves into the Mercury-ruled, mutable Earth sign of Virgo. Following the confident and creative energy of Leo season, Virgo season marks the tail end of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
CANCER SEASON
Happy Cancer season! Time of feeling everything deep in your chest, letting it out into the world, pursuing emotional connection, giving and receiving care, and tuning into our intuition. Cancer is the tide, the place where ocean meets land, this point of contact that’s always in flux. Ruled by the moon, it describes the space of cyclical change where we meet the world around us, where we exchange thoughts, feelings, and sensations.
GEMINI SEASON
Happy Gemini Season! The sun has moved into the mutable air sign of Gemini, ushering in a literal breath of fresh air following the steadiness of Taurus season. While Taurus season asks us to slow down and bask in the beauty around us, Gemini season wants to sweep us away and relish in the exciting varieties that life has to offer. As Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, Gemini season is a time for stimulation, curiosity, and exerting our social energies, which is a welcome change after some of the recent astrology we’ve experienced.
MERCURY RETROGRADE IN GEMINI
On the 10th of May, Mercury stations retrograde in early Gemini before dipping back into Taurus. With this transit, the planet of information, communication and mental processes temporarily leaves its own home sign to revisit a very different space. In many ways, it feels like a reminder to stop and reflect before moving forward full-speed. As we saw in the overview of this Taurus season’s astrology, Jupiter’s move into Aries the day after Mercury’s station marks the beginning of a significant change in the astroweather. Most notably, we’re entering an initiatory, catalytic, fire-starting, fast-moving season with a summer heavily influenced by cardinal and mutable energy.
TAURUS SEASON
Happy Taurus season! With the sun moving through this Venusian fixed earth sign we’re thinking about processes of growth. Specifically, what they feel like. The ease and pleasure of a slow stretch, seeing seedlings break out of the soul, the unfurling of a rose bud, feeling a song’s bass vibrating through your body. There’s a steadiness about Taurus that is rooted in the body, in the material of being alive. Taurus season teaches us about being meticulous without gripping; careful about our desires while giving them space.
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.
Poppin’ Poppin’ (woah!) Our Way Into Sagittarius Season
Welcome to Sagittarius season, dear ARMYs! We’re moving out of the shadowy, transitional realm of Scorpio and into the season of inspiration and restlessness. Much like our resident Sag Kim Seokjin, Sagittarius energy is quick-witted, adaptable, and optimistic. It moves more quickly than the other signs and urges us to push forward with a belief in the possibilities before us and a thirst for adventure and knowledge. Basically now is the time to be your biggest, baddest, most ridiculous self and trust that the world will respond in kind.
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.
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!!
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!
