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.
Love Maze: BTS Modeling Compersion and What It Can Teach Us
Compersion is a term and concept that has been used specifically in polyamours relationships when a person sees their partner experiencing joy from being in a relationship with someone. Even though it has traditionally been used in polyamours relationships, it is something that can be practiced by anyone. Ultimately, compersion is rooted in pleasure and is a shared experience that respects autonomy.
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.
SAGITTARIUS SEASON
Ahhhh. The relief of leaving the deep dark depths of Scorpio and sliding into the silly adventurousness of Sagittarius. Welcome to Seokjin Season, friends.
SCORPIO SEASON
Happy Scorpio season, friends! Even if you live somewhere without stark seasonal changes, the sun entering this fixed water always brings a shift, a subtle sense of sloughing off skin, of settling in for processes of growth and decay. This rawness requires both acknowledgment and protection.
Everyone Rejoice! Super Tuna is Streaming!
It’s a momentous day, ARMY! In preparation for the release of his new single “The Astronaut” at the end of the month, Kim Seokjin has blessed us all by releasing his past solos on all major music platforms. No longer will you have to re-download SoundCloud whenever you feel the urge to wallow in the delicious sorrow of “Abyss” or dance your fins off to “Super Tuna”. (Though, let’s be honest, how many of us were listening to 수퍼 참치 without the chaotically adorable music video to accompany it)?
Happy Birthday Jimin!
Happy Jimtober everyone, it’s finally this time of the year where we can really solidify our love and appreciation for a very special person who reminds us that we are loved and appreciated in return.
5 Years with Love Yourself: Her
Happy 5 years and anniversary to Love Yourself: Her, the first in BTS’ series of LY albums! This album was a turning point for BTS in some ways – the start of a new arc in their story, and sonic changes in their music.
Happy Birthday Namjoon!
HBD Namjoon, writing about our leader during a Pisces full moon is definitely quite on brand. This dreamy, futuristic energy definitely fits the vibe for what Namjoon represents. I’ve been thinking a lot about how Joon is very much an anti-idol, I feel like the title “idol” cannot contain all that he brings to this world (much like air), that can be said for many others but I feel like he pursues art so tenaciously that its so integral to him as a person.
Artist Feature - Sav
What led you to BTS? My best friend had gotten really into them and I wanted to know more about them; they seemed like an important part of her life so I wanted to learn about it. I let her show me music videos, YouTube compilations, interviews, Run BTS episodes, and so on, and I was like, “okay wow, I’m really into this!” Their music is just amazing; that plus the choreography and music videos really drew me in for their talent.
ACE OF SWORDS
The Ace of Swords represents a moment where we’re presented with a kind of understanding – a truth revealed, a sudden mental connection, new data, a primordial idea. When it shows up for us, all we have to do is be curious and open to what’s happening in our life. It might not be obvious, but try to pay attention to any shifts, omens or messages. What conversations, sources and thoughts are coming through? Give them the space they might need to bloom.
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.

What led you to BTS?
About 5 years ago, I had this friend that always dragged me to watch the Go Go dance practice everyday during our recess (this was after DNA comeback and promotions if I’m not wrong). I used to always declare to everyone how I will never ever like this Kpop thing. And for what reason? I do not know at all. I have no clue, no idea.
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.
LEO SEASON
LEO SEASON IS HERE! Today, Friday July 22nd, 2022 marks the beginning of Leo season, where the sun finds itself back in its home in the sign of Leo where it’s most comfortable. As the Sun is ruled by the fixed fire sign, Leo season pushes us into the spotlight for the final stretch of Summer.
SEVEN OF WANDS
The Seven appears as a reminder to be honest with yourself about the challenges ahead of you but not to dwell on them too long. There’s a difference between strategizing and spiraling, and you don’t want to lose the momentum you’ve built.
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.

What led you to BTS?
A friend of mine put me on to BTS, she showed me their SNL performance back in 2019, I would listen to their tracks here and there, but it wasn’t until February 2020 when they released the video for ON that I truly became hooked and started watching more edits and fancams. I think lockdown just sped up the inevitable, I was able to spend more time consuming 7 years worth of content. Their music really helped me deal with adapting to our new pandemic reality. They really do come into your life when you need them the most.
