Decks: Oracle of the Radiant Sun, Wild Unknown Archetype Oracle
Video link: Here
Around two years ago, I did a simple birth chart reading for Jin & Jungkook to double-check my works. I’ve been debating whether to share this or not, but I think it will provide valuable in-depth insights. This video will focus on the explanation, so please refer to my previous videos to see how the traits manifest in reality.
I use oracle decks to visualise the placements, but this isn’t a tarot reading. It uses public data, which is their birthday, and I will keep the information PG-13.
This reading covers their main planetary placement as well as Lilith, Juno, and Eros. However, it doesn’t cover the rising sign and houses as their exact time of birth is classified information. The reading will still be accurate because the houses cover external forces and where, while the planets and signs show us what and how of the person.
Let’s start with the Sun. It represents our ego and individuality.
JIN: Sagittarius Sun
Jin is the only fire Sun in BTS. No wonder the members rely on him to break the ice in variety shows. Sagittarius is mutable fire and has active energy. Like how fast the wildfire spreads in the mountain and how hard it is to extinguish the flame, Jin ignites infectious optimism that can easily lift low moods and spark warmth in the room.
He’s friendly, easy-going, open-minded, and he LOVES freedom. The symbol is a centaur, a horse body with a human brain, so he tends to do what he wants beyond rules and restrictions. It could mean what the company says or anything that doesn’t make sense to him, including sugarcoating and dishonesty.
The free-spirited nature brings enthusiasm with enough self-control, but a quick temper if he loses it. He sees life as an adventure that he has to enjoy to the fullest, and it’s better if it’s with someone else to share.
He may not have the most long-lasting friendships because his energy is always on the move, but he sure has a wide circle of friends. On the other hand, his friends might ask, “Am I that close to him or not?” And his crush, "Is he into me or is he kind to everyone?"
JK: Virgo Sun
Meanwhile, Virgo is mutable Earth with receptive energy, like clay. Actually, there are three active Suns in BTS: Jin, j-hope, and Jimin, and you can see Jungkook has a livelier dynamic with them because he responds well. And it's great; the world needs more listeners. Clay can also be bricks for buildings that last for decades.
Virgo is the ultimate helper. His love language is probably the act of service. During “In The Soop,” Jungkook said the members always called him to do things, but he felt honoured because he likes being helpful. Small things like massaging Jin, tying his shoelaces, and tidying up snare drums after “ON” performance also show this. This trait leads him to be a humble man considering his position. A Virgo idol is a grounded superstar.
Virgo is a workaholic with sharp attention to details. It leans towards perfectionism, so we often see the members assuring him and pretending they don't see his mistakes. On a positive note, he has a strong desire for self-improvement. MBTI, 사주, 八字, whatever it is, he's eager to learn more about himself.
The Moon governs our emotions, moods, and feelings. It’s our inner conversation but not the first thing that’s recognised by others. The Moon sign is trickier because while the Sun changes every 30 days, the Moon changes every 2.5 days—and the rising sign every few hours.
JIN: Aries Moon
Even more powerful fire is in Jin’s chart: the cardinal fire Aries Moon. It’s like a bomb that blows up hard, and then just… silence. It means he’s impatient, aggressive, and bold in his thoughts. In extreme conditions, his anger could turn into physical violence.
So, when we see Jin as the most composed man today, it means his rising sign may not be in the fire signs, and that he trains and self-restrains himself well. The only time we see a glimpse of this is when he spits fire by talking super fast, and even then, he manages to make it sound funny. Yes, he still releases the frustration, yet he does it in a smart way that doesn’t hurt the people around him.
Oftentimes, we also see the members reminding him that it’s just a game when he almost gets angry. Likewise, gaming is one of the ways to channel his pent-up emotions. While he can curse the screen like crazy, hit the buttons with much stronger force than needed, no one holds a grudge from playing games.
As the ram has sturdy horns, he may directly pick a fight or a quarrel, but to him, it’s better to find out the solution to the argument as soon as possible. Still, he’s prone to being defensive as well. He’s an action-oriented person, not someone who thinks about day-to-day problems for long; quick to forget. Sometimes, it leads him to be protective. For example, Jin scolded Suga on behalf of Jungkook several times.
Both Sagittarius and Aries in Jin’s chart explain why he embodies forever young. Because life is supposed to be fiery fun!
JK: Leo Moon
Now, Jungkook’s Leo Moon explains a lot. It’s a fixed fire, the sun itself, the centre of the universe. That’s what Jungkook wants to be to the closest people around him, like family, friends, and most of all, his significant other. It’s amplified by his Moon sextile Venus.
Something that comes to mind is when Jin taught V to flip the dish in “In The Soop,” then he suddenly wanted to try that too. He tends to sulk when he doesn’t get enough attention, and it may come out as him being possessive, while in essence, being noticed makes him feel safe—validated.
Jin posting a picture with Jungkook might mean a lot for Jungkook, but it doesn’t matter as much what Jungkook posts to Jin because a Sag-Aries person isn’t sentimental. Think about Jungkook’s insecurity about marriage over perilla leaves, while Jin has more practical arguments and often cringes on overly sweet situations.
Related to his Virgo Sun, Jungkook can be shier towards strangers, but bolder to his closest circle, especially his lover. He seeks to be appreciated and adored, but his Leo confidence isn’t projected as much outside. It explains why he feels conflicted with who he is as an individual because his Moon resembles a Sun.
Jin’s impulsive energy is balanced with Jungkook’s pleasure-seeking Leo Moon.
Mercury is related to mind, thought, and communication.
JIN: Scorpio Mercury
Jin’s love for the song "Loner" resembles his Scorpio Mercury. It’s a contrast to his previous placements, while also makes sense because Scorpio is all about secrecy and self-control. We only see what he wants us to see, and it may not be much at all.
He’s indeed warm and polite, but the members mentioned he’s a cold person in some circumstances, including love. Pay attention to how quickly his eyes changed off cam through fan videos. He’s a mysterious man who doesn’t appear like one.
As an emotional fixed water sign—think of an iceberg—he’s careful in approaching people, and it requires a lot of effort until he melts those barriers. By nature, he dislikes superficiality. So, why does he joke a lot? It might be because he’s stern on his mission to make people happy. It’s not superficial to him.
He’s intuitive, perceptive, and observant. He can see through people almost like a psychic. I mentioned in Ep.06 that the way he communicates is different from person to person, depending on what the other person needs because he puts a lot of effort into those he cares about, and almost zero f— is given to the people he doesn’t like as a way to conserve his precious energy.
An excellent advisor or critic though he may not always say it, the same way he’s a deep thinker but prefers to let his playful fire signs take over his persona.
JK: Virgo Mercury (Dom, Exalt)
With Jungkook, we’re back in Virgo. In fact, he has many Virgo in his charts, and because he acts so much like one, I think his rising sign is also Virgo. Dom means Domicile. Mercury is Virgo's planetary home, so this placement is more dominant than other signs in Mercury.
First, he’s easily influenced by his surroundings. I believe meeting the members and Jin has done wonders for his personal development, especially in the entertainment industry when it’s not the healthiest environment to grow up as a teenager. Even his latest MBTI turns into INTP, while Jin’s never changed since 2017. So, it’s interesting; either he changes or “the clay” resembles Jin’s mindset as they have more in-depth discussions.
Note: He confirmed that he doesn’t resonate with being an INTP, but sees himself as an ISFP instead.
He’s more likely to do or say nice things to fans—such as Army is my girlfriend—just because he can and is very immersed in his role as an idol. He loves making Army happy, including answering Instagram questions.
Usually, Virgo Mercury is a typical straight-A student, but in terms of creative arts, no wonder Jungkook is the hwanggeum maknae. It’s not always about textbook genius, but can also be about multiple talents and his endless quest to learn new skills.
He needs order that translates into his discipline in practice. He’s rational, logical, and even sceptical, with much attention to detail, but he tends to miss the bigger picture, like the way he always sells himself short in terms of intelligence despite his giftedness.
Venus is about affection and attraction that translates into views on love.
JIN: Capricorn Venus
Although he’s all about fun and being playful, Capricorn Venus means Jin takes his relationship very seriously. As cardinal earth, starting a relationship with him is like moving the largest, tallest tree—frosting. Not impossible, but hard to dig up the roots in order to keep it alive. We should applaud his partner's patience and perseverance.
Not only does opening up his Scorpio side require time, but he also assesses the person carefully. Love for him is a simmering rather than a blasting emotion. He approaches love like a project that he has to do well, and breakups take a toll on him. A big failure that he wants to avoid at all costs.
He wants his relationship to work instead of going with the flow, even though that’s how he usually views life. It may work in young love, but marriage deals with the not so appealing facets of love, and a cautious Capricorn will be the one who strives to secure their future together. Usually, it’s related to finance—the members also said Jin helps them in investment—but considering his wealth, it could also be about other things.
Imagine a strong father figure. He might seem aloof and uninterested, but he dislikes PDA and prefers being affectionate in private when he’s in control of the situation. But when he finally falls in love, it's like a seed that will keep on growing and growing, and once again, hard to move.
A handsome, rich, kind, and popular worldwide star who doesn't fool around. Can he get any more perfect than this? Anyway, since his Venus conjuncts Uranus, his most defining relationship might have unusual qualities, such as a partner who doesn't fit public expectations or Korean norms. A sudden marriage is also possible.
Jin often says he likes a cute, puppy-like person. At the same time, this person needs to be mature enough to share his long-term vision and act as his anchor in tough times.
JK: Libra Venus (Dom)
In contrast, the cardinal air in Jungkook’s Libra Venus makes falling in love as instant as how wind turbines supply electricity to lighten up the city. It applies the other way around. It’s easy for him to be liked, and while he doesn’t intend to do so, people can easily interpret his actions as flirting.
Unlike Jin, he’s more focused on the romantic and fairy tale side of love. A prince charming, a dream comes true, a happily ever after; he wants those. Venus is Libra's home planet, so it's another prominent influence in his chart.
Libra loves arts and aesthetics more than anything. His partner must be beautiful, refined, high class, you name it, in a way that’s quite unattainable. Someone who deserves to be in a museum; someone to adore with sparkling eyes.
So, it's understandable that seeing Jin for the first time leaves a lasting impression to the point he made that rank during interviews. He—and many others—genuinely never thought a person like Jin would be real, and he just appeared in front of him at the bus stop.
Nevertheless, he wants a balanced relationship. He’d make up for his yearning with extra efforts to be the perfect partner as well. He'd pampered the person he loves like the prince or princess they are.
His Chiron is also in Libra, so his relationship isn't going to be the easiest, but it helps a lot to make him feel whole. In short, love hurts and heals him at the same time. It matches the story behind his Leo Moon: being with such an amazing person sometimes takes a toll on his self-esteem. Another example, imagine entering a royal family. Even if the family is kind, there’s still a great pressure to fit in. It breaks my heart, and I want to say, Jeongguk, you’re gorgeous, too. Don’t worry too much.
With Jin’s Capricorn Venus, Jungkook can learn to fight for the fairy tale he deserves, while Jin can learn not to lose the magical sparks of love in the midst of devising worldly strategies.
Back to the perilla leaves argument, notice that Jungkook positions himself as the helper's lover, and Jin as the helper despite the question. Jungkook believes love can strike you in a snap the way he experiences it, while Jin is like, "Calm down. There's no way I'd fall in love that easily."
Mars is about drive, expression, and physical energy.
JIN: Cancer Mars (Fall)
Jin’s Cancer Mars is related to his Scorpio Mercury. They’re based on water signs which are sensitive and intuitive in nature. Since Cancer is on Mars’ fall, Jin can seem indirect and confined in expressing himself. Even when he wanted to show his sincerity to Jungkook in his Bon Voyage letter, he had to twist his words.
"Throw you into the fire pit, but the fire pit is in my heart. Keep sending me pictures even though I complain about it.” Another one: “Stop singing Wildflower in my ear, but that's my favourite song." That's him struggling with his emotions. Take a look at the symbol: a crab with hard shells to protect the vulnerable parts.
Interestingly, Cancer Mars makes good actors because it’s another way of expressing feelings without being forced to open up. It neutralises his fiery sides to be calmer while at the same time, his fiery sides also neutralise his suppressed emotions, passive-aggressiveness, and fear of change—a cardinal water sign's problem.
Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs. It further confirms that he needs strong emotional connections to build more intimate relationships with people. He thinks about others’ feelings a lot. A sweet and protective partner who won't hesitate to compromise so that his relationship can be a fulfilling one, but can be controlling when imbalanced, hence the quarrel.
In public eyes, his care may translate into unconventional gestures of affection because he saves the rest for the private moments.
JK: Scorpio Mars (Dom)
Since Mars's home is Scorpio, it’s also dominant in Jungkook. Though I equated Scorpio as ice before, with Mars, I see it as scorching lava.
To fans who dislike Jungkook's sexy performances and appearance with tattoos: don’t. Because that’s how he projects his excessive energy, intensity, and sensuality. Having tattoos is like making statements without having to shout. If Jin wears revealing clothes at concerts, it’s safe to assume the company pushes him to do so, but with Jungkook, it’s his cup of tea, and we can expect more that may not fit his BTS Jung Kook's persona.
The more people are against it, the more he would externalise this part of him, or find something to release it. For example, excessive workout until his body hurts. It doesn’t mean he becomes a bad boy or something like that. He still craves intimacy more than anything, still wishes for his fairy tale ending, but he has this boiling drive that has to be let out. Otherwise, it’d frustrate him, heightened by his Moon square Mars.
Even when his interaction with Jin comes out as play fighting, things like that help him to stay focused. When they’re not doing it, you may notice his hands are always busy touching someone, and he’d be twirling on his feet when he’s alone.
It may be easier when he’s more expressive or allowed to be that expressive, but he isn’t, so he channels the energy through arts and sports, playing to the strength of this placement. This on-stage persona helps a lot with his confidence and sense of identity.
Jupiter is related to luck, growth, and opportunity.
JIN: Libra Jupiter
To no surprise, both Jin and Jungkook have placements that make success come easily for them when they work in good partnerships, which means BTS.
Libra in Jupiter brings fair-mindedness and unbiasedness. Jin has a talent for balancing relationships, diplomatic relations, managing people, and mediating conflicts. Basically, turning everyone he met into his allies.
If he wants to pursue business later on, it’d be good for him, especially if it’s within the entertainment industry since Libra deals with the arts. His Sun sextile Jupiter and Saturn, so being an authority figure like a boss or CEO comes natural for him. Unfortunately, if being an idol brings too many restrictions, I don't think it's good for his self-expansion. Let's hope HYBE accommodates this to avoid clashes. He doesn’t like being told. Period.
The way he maintains a good relationship with his colleagues is also smart because it’d be helpful in his future ventures. Many new opportunities and collaborations would be offered to him. I think Jin knows his chart—or himself—so well.
JK: Aquarius Jupiter
Aquarius Jupiter means Jungkook’s luck may come in an unconventional way: by pushing boundaries. I imagine the fixed air energy like the atmosphere.
He’s unique, progressive, and values freedom of expression. Some people go to battles with swords and horses, but he marches with pens and brushes, challenging the status quo. He has an innate desire to expand himself as a trailblazer who makes a difference in order to help others.
He already did it with BTS, but there’s also something he wants to achieve independently once he gains enough confidence—whatever it might be. He’s the kind of person who’s big on making a legacy. He wants to leave something in this world, and he knows today he's in a position that makes him capable of catalysing big changes.
Since his Jupiter conjunct Uranus, it’s possible there will be an unexpected controversy later on. Strangely, he seems to need that in order to transform his life, turning loss into an opportunity for growth like he did back then in late 2019. His luck comes from battles where he'd rise like a phoenix. Honestly, Jungkook’s life seems a bit challenging. Please cheer for him a lot.
I won't speak much about Saturn because this planet is generational. Those who were born between February 1991 to May 1993 will have Saturn in Aquarius, but in Jungkook's chart, Saturn already enters Aries. His generation will put into action the awareness that were raised by the Aquarius and Pisces generations. How it affects the individual depends on its house.
Dark Moon Lilith can be interpreted in many aspects, but I use this to portray their inner demons and destructive tendencies.
JIN: Pisces Lilith
I chose the ocean for Jin’s Pisces Lilith, but the image that I want to portray is a deep trench with swirling waves. Basically, an ocean abyss. See, I think Jin knows his chart.
During “bad weather” he’s likely to take criticism too seriously and get lost in spiralling rumination. When the hypersensitivity is too much to bear, escapism is his preferred way out to brush off the problems.
At the very least, it can be through gaming, sleeping while daydreaming, or binge-watching, but on a more dangerous side, it’s prone to addiction. Note that this only applies to the hardest phase in his life, not everyday problems.
The key to healing is self-acceptance. He doesn’t have to be ashamed of his emotions and uncommon needs, accepts help, then continues to fight for his visionary future even though it may seem too hard to achieve. Resting doesn’t mean stopping. This is why having an anchor is great to ground himself to Earth. No matter how beautiful the ocean is, a ship can’t sail all the time.
His self-aware, laid back, empathetic, and go with the flow attitudes make me think his rising sign is Pisces, but this is just a guess. IF, allegedly, it’s right, the complementary signs mean the stars boost them to attract and gravitate towards each other.
JK: Virgo Lilith
Hello again, Earth. For this part, I chose the mask to represent Jungkook’s Virgo Lilith. As expected, perfectionism and overthinking are his biggest enemies. At some point, he might have unrealistic expectations of himself and others.
Let’s take a flashback to when he asked Suga, why would fans be sad when he got tattoos? Which Jungkook would people like? They want him to flash his abs but are also stuck in their fantasy of an innocent young kid who must be protected like a weakling. It’s confusing. It doesn't cross his mind that not all people are as open-minded and laid back as him—or his family based on Ep.07.
Knowing it, he develops a need to constantly prove himself. It can be productive to some extent, but dangerous when he starts to lose himself because of his people-pleasing tendency. Think “Fake Love” but as a fan song. So, he needs to create stricter personal boundaries.
For example, Suga has two stage names to differentiate himself as a BTS member and as a rapper, not to mention the real Min Yoongi. Secretive Jin can also teach him that putting on a persona doesn’t mean being fake, but it’s a part of maturity; that not revealing everything isn't the same as lying. When Jungkook says he doesn’t care about those who hate him on “Festa” and concerts, I feel proud of his growth.
Juno is about long-term commitment, marriage, and love on a deeper level.
JIN: Cancer Juno
Jin’s Cancer Juno means he’s an extremely loyal lover. It explains his obsession with avoiding obstacles in his Capricorn Venus.
He mentioned he prefers someone who can cook and do housework. This is because he wants to have a foolproof long-term commitment instead of a short fling, sharing responsibilities while living together. Why take a chance with an untidy person when he knows it wouldn’t work well when they spend the rest of their lives just the two of them?
Cancer is family-oriented. As a cardinal water, it represents a flowing river where towns and cities are formed around it. He’s all about building a nest, marriage, having children, adopting pets; things like those. It’s unique because he’s a responsible father figure but he’s also nurturing.
Imagine Jin’s scene in BTS World when he plays with the little girl. Because of his fiery sides, I can see him doing that not only with his children but also with his partner. He’d create a fun, festive home with no chance to get bored. More than being a successful singer, this is his biggest dream.
He prefers simple, domestic bliss instead of grand gestures like gifts or public confession. In love, he doesn’t care what they’re doing as long as they're together. Just staying in bed is more than fine. A relationship with him begins with a complete, mutual trust—well-deserved for his partner after melting the ice.
So, he’s not someone who easily gets jealous. His partner is free to have fun with other people because he knows they have an irreplaceable home that they will always come back to.
JK: Leo Juno
Remember when Jungkook said he would fight for love to the end? That’s his Leo Juno speaking.
Because when he finally gets the person who meets all his high standards, why would he let go and back off from the cutthroat competition? He knows being with the person won’t be easy, but he’s up for the challenge!
His relationship would be an achievement on its own. He may take greater pride in his lover than in himself. He’d be proud to show off the person to everyone like a medallion or to himself alone if it’s impossible due to circumstances. Even in daily life, throughout the years, we can see him being such a fanboy, very clear and direct in showing when he likes someone, romantically or not.
With this placement, he’s more likely to find someone from the entertainment industry or a public figure because he wants his relationship with his long-time partner to be the centre of attention. A power couple type.
Leo isn't as family-oriented as Cancer, but he would focus on his partner and what they want. Leo is also one of the childlike zodiacs, so if he had a kid, he'd act like a best friend to them; always full of games and adventures. A moment when Jungkook played with dogs on Bon Voyage 4 comes to mind. Now, replace the dogs with children.
In general, he needs a relationship that always makes him happy, laughs, and fills his life with constant excitement. Just Leo being Leo.
Eros represents intimate desires, to say the least.
JIN: Scorpio Eros
This placement is intense. Another lava. For Jin, trust and honesty are the keys. He and his partner would have something that’s only between the two of them, possessing not only emotional but also spiritual connection.
Because it’s combined with his Scorpio Mercury, only a few people can see this side of him, possibly only his partner. He likes to be someone who’s only this or that for a special person and not for everyone else. In other words, not a typical romantic lover, but that doesn’t mean he loves his partner less.
When he said he’s a dark person, it may be here and in his Aries Moon, representing wild ideas that shouldn’t leave beyond closed doors. But in the safest place, he would speak more bluntly and not hold back. Possibly a 180 compared to his cute and bubbly persona.
I chose this card because there’s an image of him and his partner on a boat together inside an empty river cave where no one else is near. It may be dark, wet, and cold, but they’re together despite everything, tending flames while admiring the raw beauty of stones and stalactites after conquering all the challenges. No one else is invited to enter the cave because it doesn't exist outside them. His eyes are only for the person who has been through the worst with him, knows all his darkest secrets, and yet, they’re still with him, more in love than ever.
JK: Gemini Eros
Pillow talks, deeper conversations, cheers, praises, scolds, and teases are important for Jungkook. This could be the reason everyone says Jin and Jungkook are the noisiest together.
Try to remember how many times Jin shouts Jungkook’s name during Run BTS. Though it may seem annoying, Jungkook likes it. You know, people are different. For example, in the pasta episode, Jungkook whisked harder when Jin cheered him up with words and punches, but when Jungkook talked to Jin to give tips during the Manito episode, he told him to stop as it distracted him. So, what we find ideal isn’t based on a yardstick.
The childlike Gemini is attracted to someone funny, smart, and quick-witted; someone who can keep him interested because he gets bored easily and needs to be constantly stimulated. Mutable air is like the moody clouds. He’s also attracted to someone more experienced who can guide him to try new things as his curiosity knows no boundary. IF interpreted literally, a youthful older person.
Here, the eternal child isn't about being childish, but the things we often lose as we grow up: innocence and finding happiness in small things. Jungkook and his partner may often do stupid, mundane things together, but in the middle of it, it can suddenly strike him how much his partner contributes to his smile and laughter, then… I’ll end the reading here.
Finally, this is the overall comparison between them.
Fans often describe Jin and Jungkook's dynamic as father and son, but now we know it’s only because of their outward energies and shouldn’t be taken literally. Their astrological placement explains it more than their age gap.
But what if you notice something that doesn't match? There are several possibilities.
First, we only see a persona, not the person in person.
Second, it represents the condition when we're more developed. Think of the MBTI test. It can change over the years—especially because the questions are too hypothetical—but at some point, we stick to one. Even so, the disconnection can indicate imbalances that you can work on. Don't push yourself to be this, try that instead because the path is going to be easier for you.
Third, an archetype isn't supposed to be a stereotype. The complexity of human beings can't be put into words alone.
If you ever feel lost or that your life doesn't make any sense, I recommend looking at your chart. After all, it's a blessing from the universe. A snapshot of the sky the moment you were born. A map of the soul, but the map itself has nothing to do with free will. Instead of seeing it as controlling fate, see it as dancing with fate.
As for Jin & Jungkook, we can see they're much more aligned with their placements since late 2020, especially because Jin just finished his Saturn return in the beginning of this year, and Jungkook always pushes himself to be more mature than his age.
Through this reading, we see how they connect on the energetical level. Regardless of the nature of their relationship, it seems that they find what they seek in each other.
I hope it shines a new light on our limited perception of them so that we can be more understanding of their choices and actions. This is them made out of stars, and let's love them for what they are. Lastly, please take the information wisely and refer to the disclaimer.
