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!
Mercury: how we communicate our thoughts & ideas
Jimin’s Mercury sits just a few degrees into Taehyung’s 11th house, conjunct his Midheaven (using whole signs, for any Placidus folks who are confused about the MC residing in 11). Both the 11th and the Midheaven rule over your public image, social circles, and career life.
With Jimin’s Mercury encouraging communication & new ideas in this area, I’d expect that Tae would run to Jimin first to discuss new ideas regarding their career and artistic endeavors. They’re fantastic at bouncing ideas off of each other and providing constructive feedback in this brainstorming phase.
Once Taehyung chooses to pursue a new career goal, such as his solo music or an acting project, Jimin is the first to openly support and promote his work to the public. Jimin’s ongoing support and praise helps to boost Tae’s endeavors to great heights, attracting even more attention to his achievements.
Taehyung is also capable of helping Jimin’s creative ideas manifest in their career life. Jimin has no shortage of creativity flowing through him, but he sometimes struggles to understand which ideas are worth pursuing and how to go about bringing them to life. This is where Taehyung once again acts as his “rock,” grounding these ideas in reality and providing practical guidance in chasing these new endeavors.
Jimin’s Mercury also trines Tae’s Venus. This is a very harmonious aspect promoting easy communication and well-attuned outlooks on the world, especially when it comes to the arts. These two are capable of expanding each other’s understanding of art in its many forms, and they’re always introducing each other to new forms of creativity and expression.
They also encourage each other’s self-expression, and their conversations with each other are always enjoyable. They’re both curious about each other’s interests and what brings them enjoyment. Regardless of the topic they’re likely to share similar outlooks, or at the very least, they’re able to empathize with the other’s perspective. Communication is easy, supportive, accepting, and expressive.
This is also mirrored in Taehyung’s Mercury placement, which resides within Jimin’s 7th house (ruled by Venus). Harmonious communication is a highlight of their relationship.
However, there’s a bit of a contradictory aspect in which Jimin’s Mercury squares Taehyung’s Sun. This aspect can bring differing perspectives and arguments from time to time, though when placed alongside their previous two aspects, I think this would be softened a lot. Instead of causing arguments, this placement could cause Jimin & Tae to challenge each other’s perspectives in a constructive way. They’re able to use their differences to better each other’s minds.
Chiron: our deepest wounds; where we’re capable of healing others
Jimin’s Chiron also conjuncts Taehyung’s Midheaven. Taehyung helps Jimin to express his deepest wounds and traumas through his career and public image. For Jimin, these wounds likely revolve around his childhood, feeling nurtured, and being able to connect with others.
Many of BTS’s concepts touch on topics of growing up, loving yourself, and loving the people you’re closest to (be it friends, family, or lovers). These concepts really allow Jimin to express his struggles with these topics, and Taehyung both understands what he has been through and how best to support him in expressing and healing these wounds.
Taehyung’s Chiron resides within Jimin’s 4th house, which indicates that the familiarity he feels through his connection with Jimin brings him the greatest sense of healing. Both Jimin & Tae take a great amount of comfort in the friendships and family they have built alongside their bandmates, but these two especially thrive within this almost parental, nurturing energy they’ve created together (which I discussed in further detail at the end of part 1).
Tae’s Chiron also aspects Jimin’s Jupiter, the planet of abundance and expansion. They both have an interest in exploring philosophy and spirituality together. They have a talent for looking past their most challenging moments to the “big picture,” and their connection is generally very optimistic. They uplift and inspire each other, and they find healing through the expansion of their minds, utilizing conversation and exploration within their bond.
Jimin’s Moon also trines Tae’s Chiron, which is a highly nurturing aspect. They seem to intuitively understand what each other needs to feel safe and secure. They’re incredibly understanding, even empathic about each other’s moods. They can anticipate each other’s mood changes and triggers sometimes before they even occur. They’re able to rely on each other for a sense of emotional stability and comfort without ever feeling ashamed. In fact, their relationship thrives off of this emotional vulnerability they share.
Venus: harmony and attraction
Jimin’s Venus falls within Taehyung’s 12th house in Scorpio. The 12th house rules our subconscious, the spiritual realms, and intuition in astrology. It’s a very foggy, mystical area of the chart, ruled by the water element. Scorpio is also a fixed water sign shrouded in mystery and intensity, reminiscent of the depths of our oceans.
These two DEFINITELY have a strong spiritual connection with each other. Jimin’s presence alone feels very dreamy to Taehyung. It makes sense that they call themselves soulmates, because the ways in which they intuitively understand each other and inspire each other’s imagination will feel like a dream come true.
These two likely have a hard time describing their connection with each other in any specific terms. Because this area of the chart rules the subconscious, they’re both somewhat unaware of what draws them toward each other. They can feel their connection, they can sense that there’s something unique going on between them, but they can’t quite put their finger on what these feelings mean or where they stem from.
That said, Jimin’s natal Venus resides in his 5th house, ruled by Leo and the Sun. In a way, Jimin (through this bright and sunny 5th house) will open Taehyung up to some of the things hidden within his subconscious, gently exposing these to light, and helping Tae to work through them.
Scorpio is a sign which is very adept in the fields of psychology, so Jimin will inherently understand these subconscious workings and uncover them with the utmost care. Because the 5th house also rules creativity and self-expression, he’ll also encourage Taehyung to channel this shadow side of his mind into his art, leading to a better understanding of these hidden aspects of his personality.
Taehyung’s Venus resides within Jimin’s 8th house in synastry, which is also ruled by Scorpio. This is a very magnetic placement to have in synastry, as it adds an element of mystery to their attraction. Once again, Taehyung feels that there’s something unique about Jimin and he’s a little intimidated by how easily Jimin can read him, but he’s just as intrigued and wants to learn more about him. It’s a very passionate, charged placement which constantly inspires more and more intrigue the deeper they get to know each other.
Given that Taehyung’s Venus also aspects Jimin’s Jupiter in Aquarius & Sagittarius, I think it’s safe to say that they really enjoy introducing each other to new things and expanding each other’s horizons. They’re naturally curious, and they feel compelled to embark upon many great adventures together. This would also strongly benefit their career life given the fast-paced, energetic nature of their work.
Mars: our passion, motivation, and drive
Jimin’s Mars also resides within Taehyung’s 12th house. This planet could also be the cause behind some of Tae’s initial wariness around Jimin. Having such an aggressive, passionate planet placed within the realms of your subconscious could lead to feelings of unease.
We’ve discussed Jimin’s incredible ability to manipulate others in his natal reading (especially when it comes to manipulating an audience), and with his strong intuitive understanding of Taehyung’s wounds, weaknesses, and hidden inner workings, he’d have an easy time tearing Tae down and preying upon these weaknesses if he wanted to. Obviously, that’s not the Jimin we know, and thankfully he’s very good at tempering his natal Scorpio stellium into something constructive and nurturing instead of aggressive and destructive, but Tae would still be able to sense the intensity and the power that lies beneath Jimin’s outwardly caring nature, and it can add as much unease to their connection as it can bring excitement.
That said, many people tend to be fooled by Jimin’s cute and bubbly exterior, at least initially. Taehyung may have something of an advantage with his house of intuition here, and even if he is confused by Jimin’s presence, at the very least he’s able to sense that there’s something deeper going on beneath that exterior. This may very well catch Jimin off-guard as well, which only further adds to the intrigue they feel toward each other.
[I should also note that sometimes due to the subconscious nature of this placement, the person in Tae’s position might be completely oblivious to Jimin-person’s intentions and true personality. Sometimes they’re easily fooled by the image this person portrays and will even project their own ideals upon them, leading to misunderstandings and potentially a very manipulative relationship. In Jimin & Tae’s case, knowing that they have a very strong bond and healthy relationship with each other, I would expect that even if Tae were oblivious to Jimin’s intentions, Jimin would simply find his naïvety to be sweet and charming rather than a detriment to his character.]
Once they form a sense of trust and understanding in each other, Jimin’s able to inspire Taehyung to use each challenge he faces as a chance to improve himself. This is another area where their spiritual connection comes into play, as they enjoy exploring the deeper meanings behind the challenges they face and using them as a chance to converse, express themselves, inspire each other, and grow together.
Taehyung’s Mars falls within Jimin’s 7th house, the house ruling over partnerships and close relationships of all kinds. This placement causes a lot of motivation toward deepening their relationship and exploring new things together. However, because Mars rules over our anger and how we express it, Jimin may be more likely to witness Taehyung’s less-mature outbursts or get into silly arguments with him (need I mention again, the dumpling incident).
These two also put a lot of value upon honesty and fairness within their relationship. This is the basis upon which they feel that they can rely on each other and trust that the other has their back. Regardless of their differences, they’re determined to find harmony within their partnership.
Taehyung’s Mars forms a positive aspect with Jimin’s Mars, indicating that they easily energize each other! Their playful energy when they’re together along with their passionate natures combines to create a very energizing blend. They greatly uplift each other in times of stress and fatigue.
This aspect also gives them a strong understanding of each other’s motivations and methods in working toward their goals. They make fantastic teammates because they’re motivated in similar ways toward similar goals, and they have a natural understanding of how best to work together to achieve these things. There’s also a healthy amount of competitiveness here which challenges each of them to be better, rather than manifesting in a more toxic or aggressive way. They’re genuinely proud of each other’s achievements.
Taehyung’s Mars also aspects Jimin’s Pluto, which is another aspect which creates a deep desire for healing and transformation within their partnership. These synastry connections are intense and not for the faint of heart, due to how strongly their deepest wounds are tied in with their passions and trust in each other.
That said, because of the highly transformational nature of Pluto and each of their desires to better themselves, neither Taehyung nor Jimin would leave this relationship the same as they were before they met. Pluto has the power to both create and destroy, and when tied to the planet of motivation and drive, a relationship can either be intensely healing or highly destructive. Obviously (and thankfully), we’re dealing with the former here!
That's all for part 2, stay tuned for part 3!!
