"You Are My Soulmate" - Jimin & Taehyung Synastry Reading
Part 1 Part 2
*Disclaimer: This is an analysis of the members’ relationship based off of astrology. It is not meant to dig into their private lives or to make assumptions about their relationship. This reading is purely for entertainment, to teach about astrology, and to offer a different perspective in regards to the member’s interactions. Please be respectful of them!! With that in mind, let’s continue with the reading!
The Ascendant: first impressions & relatability
Taehyung’s Ascendant falls within Jimin’s 6th house in Sagittarius. This is a very practical placement which greatly benefits a roommate or coworker-type relationship. These two really know how to work well together, and given that we’re in Sag here, I would expect Jimin & Tae to be fantastic travel buddies. They keep an eye out for each other and provide support practical ways (such as reading directions, carrying each other’s luggage, or running errands for food or other necessities).
Though it’s not the most dreamy aspect to have in synastry, this placement greatly benefits a day to day relationship because even the most mundane and boring tasks are completed in a smooth and effective manner. Not to mention, they certainly know how to make these activities fun!! Sag is a very bubbly, humorous sign, so these goofballs certainly know how to have a good time regardless of the circumstances.
Jimin’s Ascendant falls within Taehyung’s 8th house in Cancer. The 8th house rules over all things secretive, mysterious, and taboo, so it’s very likely that Taehyung initially felt intimidated by Jimin. Jimin will naturally express the sorts of traits which Tae feels the need to hide about himself, but over time, Jimin’s influence can cause Taehyung to feel a lot more confident in himself and less ashamed of the secrets he carries.
The 8th also rules psychology, so it’s very likely that Jimin will intuitively understand Taehyung and his thought processes with very little effort. It’s part of why Tae feels so connected to Jimin, because he just naturally seems to “get” him. And whereas these “hidden” aspects of Tae’s personality are often judged and criticized by others, Jimin welcomes everything he uncovers with open arms.
The Sun: where we light up each other’s lives
Taehyung’s Sun resides in Jimin’s 7th house, which is a highly beneficial placement for a long-term relationship. The 7th house rules partnerships, commitments, close friendships and marriage. It’s ruled by Libra and Venus, so it’s a house which promotes harmony, diplomacy, and compromise.
This is why Jimin and Tae’s fights *cough* the dumpling incident *cough* are so notorious for being so absurd- they’re fantastic at working things out before disagreements can escalate, and they inherently approach their relationship with a desire for harmony rather than competitiveness or hostility. It’s the silly little incidents when arguments are born out of pure frustration which catch them off guard. More serious matters are handled with the utmost care for each other’s feelings.
Tae’s Sun lighting up Jimin’s house of partnerships and commitments indicates that Jimin really sees him as a perfect match for himself. This is where their “soulmate” energy comes into play- Jimin can easily see himself spending many years living in harmony with Tae, and Taehyung really “lights up” Jimin’s experience of art, beauty, music, and friendship. Exploring these concepts together only enhances their experience of them.
On that same note, sharing a stage together will only support each other’s performances, as they highlight each other in complimentary ways and bring out the best and most beautiful traits in each other. They’re able to play off of each other’s energies onstage in order to show their best image to the audience.
Jimin’s Sun resides within Taehyung’s 11th house in Libra. This is another placement which supports a rather immediate and beneficial friendship. They share a lot of common interests and hobbies, and even where they meet differences between them, it’s easy to be interested in the things which make the other happy!
The 11th is also an air house, and here in air sign Libra, they certainly enjoy having lengthy conversations together and sharing ideas about everything and anything! They probably seek out each other to share their creative ideas, hobbies and new interests FIRST before discussing anything with the other members. They’re both great listeners and have the ability to mentally challenge each other’s ideas without it coming across as harsh or critical.
Jimin’s Sun also conjuncts Taehyung’s North Node. Again, soulmates!! The North Node indicates Tae’s destiny and the people/places/things which will feel the most fulfilling to him. It’s often considered a marker of your life purpose in astrology, and with Jimin’s Sun right here in Tae’s chart, Jimin truly embodies the traits which Tae needs in his life to feel the most fulfilled. Through Jimin, Tae is able to learn his most important life lessons.
The North and South Nodes can indicate both past lives and future destinies. If you think back to my synastry reading for Jungkook and Taehyung, you’ll remember that they had MANY South Node connections, indicating familiarity with each other’s energies and possibly many past lifetimes together.
Taehyung and Jimin, on the other hand, are very new to each other in this lifetime. This is lovely because there’s no past karma to work out, so they’re able to experience each other from a “clean slate” perspective. Everything about the other is new, interesting, and exciting, and the things they learn through their bond provide lifelong fulfillment.
Jimin’s Sun also squares Taehyung’s Mars. This is a tense aspect, so it’s likely to cause these two some challenges from time to time. First of all, Sun-Mars tensions can cause an incredibly magnetic and passionate connection. They’re able to feed off of each other’s energies and push each other toward their goals with great amounts of enthusiasm. At its best, this aspect is encouraging, energizing, and empowering.
That said, this aspect can also cause competitiveness, though this is softened by the fact that Jimin’s Sun is in Libra- he’s willing to sacrifice his own image to put Tae in the spotlight when the two come head to head with each other. If Jimin chose to challenge Tae more often, they could get into some pretty egotistical, self-centered fights, and Jimin would have the power to greatly knock down Tae’s confidence if he approached their work with the intention to outdo Tae.
By finding a balance between their strengths and talents, Jimin is able to boost Tae’s confidence and self-image, all while stepping into his own unique place within the band. I imagine this placement caused them more troubles early on in their career before they really found themselves, but now that they understand each other’s own unique roles, this aspect has turned into a shared sense of value for each other.
The Moon: where we touch each other’s hearts & souls
Jimin’s Moon, which is also his chart ruler in astrology, resides in Taehyung’s 7th house. This will bring harmony similarly to Tae’s Sun in Jimin’s 7th, which we discussed above.
That said, this placement really shows just how much Tae comforts Jimin behind the scenes. Jimin’s Moon falls within his natal 12th house, which rules over our subconscious. It’s the area of our charts which often feel very mysterious and unknown to us, and having your chart ruler here can bring a lot of uncertainty about your self-image.
I imagine this is part of the reason why Jimin needs so much praise and reassurance from those close to him, simply so that he can reinforce his sense of self which often feels so hazy and mysterious in his mind. Taehyung recognizes these needs in Jimin, and along with his natural inclination to look up to Jimin as his role model, he’s very good at making Jimin feel confident and secure.
Because we’re dealing with Jimin’s Moon here, his emotions are going to be very clear to Taehyung, who is very quick to reassure and accept him for whatever he’s feeling. In fact, I would even argue that Tae considers Jimin’s emotional expression to be one of the most beautiful things about him.
I know that Jimin is known for being one of the most openly emotional members, and he certainly feels everything on a very deep level. However, he does still hide many of his emotions for the sake of taking care of others or putting on a good face for the public.
He’s not able to keep up this same facade around Tae, but Tae doesn’t for an instant allow him to feel ashamed of himself for feeling things so deeply. Taehyung is a very loving, accepting, and grounding presence when Jimin is feeling very emotional and overwhelmed. We usually see the opposite on camera where Jimin is comforting Tae, but I can assure you that this dynamic is much more balanced behind closed doors when Jimin has let his guard down a little more.
They truly love being around each other because they feel most comfortable simply being themselves in each other’s presence. They may feel as though they have to hide certain aspects of themselves when they’re around others or in public, but with each other, they’re able to be exactly their true selves without fear of judgement or criticism.
Jimin’s Moon also squares Taehyung’s Saturn, which brings a very serious element of commitment to their relationship. They feel responsible for each other, which is another reason why fights are handled so carefully and feelings are so easily respected. They both understand (whether this has been verbally spoken or not) that they’re committed to each other for life, and therefore feel a deep sense of responsibility for protecting their relationship and bringing out the best in each other.
This is also where Tae’s grounded energy stems from. Saturn, though sometimes cold and seemingly unemotional, can provide a very stable, loyal element to a relationship. When Jimin is feeling overwhelmed or frightened, Taehyung is his “rock”- his strongest support. Supporting and comforting each other doesn’t ever feel like a chore because they’re both in this friendship for the long-haul and truly care for each other.
Moon-Saturn contacts can sometimes even feel parental in nature. The Moon typically rules your mother in astrology, and Saturn your father, so they bring this very loving and accepting parental-type energy to a relationship. A parent has made a lifelong commitment to loving and supporting their child, and Jimin and Tae will naturally love and nurture each other in similar ways.
Side note- I was reminded of this clip when studying this area of their charts, where Jimin literally calls Taehyung his “baby” and soothes him by rocking them both back and forth. It’s indicative of both this placement in their synastry charts and Jimin’s Cancer Ascendant.
Taehyung’s Moon falls within Jimin’s 10th house. This house is ruled by Saturn, so he’ll mirror many of these loyal, stable, and nurturing traits right back to Tae. However, because the 10th house also rules over their careers, this placement has a much more public aspect to it.
This is absolutely the reason why we see Jimin comforting Taehyung on camera so much more often than Tae comforting him. The 10th house is the highest area of Jimin’s chart, which rules over his public image and career life. If you think about Jimin and Tae’s relationship dynamics within BTS, it’s very likely that one of the first things that comes to mind is the way Jimin always takes care of Taehyung. Tae’s Moon falls in this very public area of both of their charts, whereas Jimin’s Moon falls in a more private area of both of their charts.
Tae’s Moon opposite Jimin’s Sun also shows a difference in their emotional expression. We already mentioned that Jimin’s Moon is in a very very hidden, subconscious area of his chart, which often makes his emotions feel very confusing and overwhelming to him. That said, he tries to hide many of these feelings from the public, though he’s only partially successful due to his Cancer Ascendant and Libra Sun, which naturally inclines him toward opening up to and connecting with others (you can read more about this in my reading of Jimin’s natal chart, in case you haven’t already).
Meanwhile, Taehyung also likes to keep his feelings private due to his Capricorn stellium, but realistically, this is more of a defense mechanism than a genuine emotional need of his. His Moon resides in Aries in his natal 5th house. Aries is the “youngest” sign of the zodiac, and people with their Moon in Aries will often have the emotional volatility of a baby- they’re easily worked up, saddened, disturbed, comforted, elated. That said, they’ll often grow out of this quality as they grow up.
His 5th house rules over creativity, children, and the performing arts. He feels most emotionally fulfilled when he’s performing and being creative, and he truly does love being around children. He understands their quickly-changing moods and emotions because this is a dynamic he’s struggled with growing up. Jimin understands all of this about Tae and supports and encourages his emotional expression as much as possible.
That said, I mentioned that although Tae feels safest when he’s hiding and protecting his emotions, he really needs to be able to express them openly like a child would and find acceptance and support from those closest to him. This will be especially obvious in their public life, such as when Tae becomes overwhelmed and cries at concerts. Jimin is always his stability and support in these situations, much like Taehyung is for Jimin behind the scenes.
It may seem strange to think of their relationship as having these strong parental dynamics when they’re so close in age, but you’ll want to think of their love as mimicking a parent’s love for their child. It’s that same sort of nurturing, supportive, and unconditionally loving energy. They fulfill each other’s emotional needs which may have been overlooked during their childhoods, and this allows their bond to feel incredibly healing and comfortable for them.
Stay tuned for part 2!!
