Overall Progression: The Ocean + The Desert/Eros + The Mother
The past life that came through for Jungkook is a very interesting one that seemed centered on development and personal progression of the soul through a human experience. This lifetime was one of late-stage awakening or a higher awareness toward the end of life that set the stage for the current lifetime where, alongside a working lifetime, he is experiencing make-ups or rewards for prior work experiences. Human connection and the appreciation for honest and open connection with deep understanding is rooted in this past life where he became very disconnected from this aspect that is true to him on a soul level within all lifetimes.
The overall progression of this lifetime is laid out above starting with The Ocean, which then moves into The Desert. Immediately it gave this sense of the soul drying up or becoming disconnected from the conscious mind completely after originally coming in relatively aware and heart-centered. In the image of The Desert we see a hand reaching out of the sand towards a burning moon or an eclipse — I was taking this more as a burning moon as it reflects the diamond in Eros, representing the loss of a counterpart connection. Essentially, a soul mate connection was in line in this lifetime, a higher counterpart that was present in other lifetimes, but due to the disconnect of the soul, the soul connection with the counterpart was also lost.
It was very clear that this connection lingered in the mind and body, suggesting that connection had been made, however, it was lost rather quickly or didn’t move beyond a certain stage. There was a part, a lingering shred of the soul that was still reaching out toward that counterpart while the rest of his consciousness sank into heavier spaces that were dictated by blind faith, conformity, and a deliberate separation from emotions.
The lifetime concludes with The Mother, where I was seeing the pearl in the center as reflecting the burning moon and the diamond in Eros. This is where it was shown that either while still alive or after death, there was a marker put on this lifetime for a redo, specifically around this connection. He planted a seed of this connection and then, on multiple levels, seems to have locked it in and ensured that out of everything, this would be something he would experience, pursue, and treasure. One of the elements of his current state of being, his appreciation of connection and relationships, which is still very clear within his soul ties, is present now specifically to aid in his ability to recognize this connection when it is presented to him.
Childhood
Overall Energy: Allowance + Bluff
Timeline: Wheel of Fortune + Queen of Wands + 2 of Wands (rev.)
This was a little sad to read into because it seems like he really didn’t have a chance at all in this past life to be his own person. Granted, this was a deliberate setting for development, and he seemed to move through it relatively fine at first, but there’s a kind of softer innocence to how and why he was so easily guided toward something that was very against his nature. The combination of Allowance and Bluff read very literally in the realm of naivety, allowing others to bluff, moving in a carefree way through the words of other people. Falling in line, being convinced, and following laid out paths would have been very instinctual for him while on a more intuitive level, he would have felt uneasy.
The timeline lays it out with the Wheel of Fortune and the Queen of Wands merged together as a symbol of outer authority, that may be connected primarily to his family first in this past life. It feels like the Wheel and the Queen represent someone else sitting in the driver’s seat of his life, and right from the beginning, straight from birth, were in control. This may explain why, in spite of that inner unease and disagreeing, he still was so easy to guide into certain things. He really didn’t know how to do or say anything against authority.
Because of this, his childhood was left to him in the form of the reversed 2 of Wands, which settled as the inability to dream or the refusal to dream, to think of anything far off in the future, or even something he would do the following day, as it was always understood that someone else was laying out his day for him.
I do think as well that his more stubborn and carefree approach to life now in his current state stems from this, ensuring that he can well and truly be completely in control of his life and how it plays out day to day.
Teen Years
Overall Energy: Solar Plexus + Defense
Timeline: Queen of Cups (rev.) + 9 of Swords + 9 of Cups (rev.) / The Magician (rev.) / The Hermit
The teen years was when shit seemed to really hit the fan when it came to the loss of soul connection. It was a temporary state, but it was quite a heavy one with very deliberate cutting off of the emotional center. It was very clear to me that this was related to some kind of military work, I was seeing it more as knights or some kind of guardianship of people of higher status, royal guards or something in that realm. It was a job that he was connected to through family, a kind of role that is passed through families specifically for the sake of trust and status.
Solar Plexus and Defense show a relatively unconscious state of being, a very externalized and forceful mode that he was in, very much leaning into a hardened masculine energy, drifting very far away from any internal awareness. The Solar Plexus is involuntary projection (as opposed to the Sacral Chakra, which is more intentional projection) and Defense brings Mars and Taurus — Cardinal Fire and Fixed Earth — together in absolute extremes.
In the timeline, we have this space and time initiated with the reversal of the Queen of Cups, which is the cutoff of internal awareness. This feels a lot like going through training or some kind of trial work where it was made clear that his own sensitivities could not be supported here and could not be supportive of what was expected of him.
This gave way to the 9 of Swords, which is quite a heavy mental load that strings together grief, paranoia, fear, and depression. This is mirrored then by the reversed 9 of Cups. Just as he intentionally cut off his internal space, he very knowingly cut himself off from a lot of what he did allow himself to dream about, which seems to be very limited to his relationship with this soul counterpart, which at this point still feels very distant. With The Magician in reverse alongside it, it is a known loss of power or control, coming across as him knowing that in stepping into line here, he would lose his wand, any ability he had at all to make his own wishes come true. This is then followed by The Hermit upright, a future prospect of always being alone.
It came through that the person he was hoping to be with was someone who was very peaceful and at ease in the heart, very similar to his own soul, but without the filtration or limitation that he was given in this lifetime. It feels like it may have been an “admire from afar” kind of situation with a few blips of sparks here and there. There was hope and a sense of freedom that was either gained from this person or was just something that this person inspired within himself that made it possible for him to dream of his future with this person. Because this person was practically the embodiment of peace, however, there was a major split here on multiple levels where they came to be entirely incompatible, at least from his perspective.
As a side note, somewhere within this timeframe between the teen years and adulthood, within the space of The Desert specifically, it seems he may have killed someone while out and about on a mission or in battle. I was seeing it in my head as him looking over a body on the ground in the middle of a wide open field. It wasn’t clear to me if I was seeing it as just the two of them in this field because that’s what it actually was, of it that’s just how it felt for him in the moment — going into shock during a battle and only being able to focus on the one person he actually did kill in that moment. There were more deaths, but it seems the first is what lingered the most, going numb to the rest.
This seemed to be the main source of the grief and depression, potential PTSD in the 9 of Swords. It also seems to be one of the major points in his mind that affirmed for him that coming together again with this soulmate was completely impossible. He held onto that guilt, but it did wake him up a bit and put things into perspective. He, at some point, maybe years beyond this first death, quit this job and truly did become The Hermit. There’s a major separation from others, although he may not have literally been alone the whole time, just unable to make deeper connections out of fear, shame, or just a lingering sense of inner disconnect that he could never extend past himself.
Adult Years
Overall Energy: Heart Chakra + Tantric Journey + Empathy
Timeline: 5 of Pentacles + The World + 9 of Wands
Moving into the adult years, which actually feel more like the end of life (with the End of Life section feeling like matters left to the soul after death), there was a reawakening that came through what feels like an existential crisis. On some level, it feels like The Hermit took on the energy of the 9 of Swords and sought out shelter in the church in the 5 of Pentacles. Not a literal church, maybe an institution, maybe an inner temple of sorts that was reached at a point of desperation.
The Heart Chakra and Tantric Journey as the overall energy of this period of his life are mind breaking. Connection to the heart, or the inner world, has been reestablished, but it feels like returning to ruins. The Heart represents something more physical or conscious, while Tantric Journey represents something higher, energetic, or out of body. On some level, I want to say that it feels like time travel, as if he experienced some sort of break from reality and traveled back in his mind to when he “had a heart,” which was connected to this person who was lost to him in the time. The Empathy card, the imagery on it, feels like revisiting a friend and hearing whispers. The bird holding the pearl makes me think of the pearl in The Mother, something representing this other person, who was a reflection of his own soul, heart, or inner world.
The 5 of Pentacles itself is connected to spiritual and financial lack, an emptiness or feeling of being incomplete. In this space, if you get stuck, a person can seek out a lot of comfort or distraction in order to cope with or do away with the feeling of not having what you really want. Following this, The World feels connected to the idea of some kind of break from reality, as the grid and field in the image extend past and break around the world itself. I feel this as a breaking point in which he could not be with the world, could not stay in reality, could not function properly. There was stuff coming through again that would lead me to think he was dealing with PTSD.
The 9 of Wands is a card about paranoia and negative anticipation, hypervigilance. In the traditional Rider-Waite image, there is a man who stands guard over his own domain after having been attacked or facing a battle of some kind. Constantly on foot, on guard, and looking over his shoulder. In the image in the Tarotwave deck, we see a group of wands standing around a computer to watch another wand that appears to break out of the screen. Breaking out of the screen lines up with the feeling of breaking out of reality, being watched by other people while doing it. He could have potentially been institutionalized or was watched over by family or friends.
The 9 of Wands’ display of breaking from reality, alongside The World and the 5 of Pentacles, does feel like the point of death or the energy that led to his death. If he did take his own life, it’s not entirely clear if he knew what he was doing or if it was a sudden accident.
End of Life
Overall Energy: Cosmic Flower + Principle
Timeline: The Lovers + 4 of Wands + 4 of Swords
Because this portion of the reading registers as being after the point of death rather than the death itself, I’m wondering if he spent some time wandering after death, either by choice or as a soul lost and confused after an upsetting or disconnected passing. There’s something quite solemn about the combination of Cosmic Flower and Principle. They feel very big, expansive, stimulated, but very quiet and wide open, like walking through a field on your own and seeing nothing but the horizon on all sides. This feels like a wandering soul. Both cards are also connected to number 9 with Principle being connected to the 9th House through Sagittarius and Cosmic Flower being number 18, 9 multiplied and 9 from 1 and 8 together. This settles into the idea of expanding within the point of finality or having some kind of further awakening process happening whilst in a state of limbo.
The timeline is less of a timeline and more of a designated checklist. Things that were pondered on, dreamed of, hoped for, and thus the seeds that were planted by the soul still wandering on earth, that would one day be able to be harvested and experienced during a separate lifetime. It doesn’t feel like it was an intentional planting whilst in a wandering state, it feels more like it was dreamed of so much that it just started taking root, and then when his soul crossed over and he was back to planning his lifetimes out, he designated a space and time, now within his current working lifetime, for these things to play out.
The 4 of Swords is a wide-sweeping one, which is connected to rest, relaxation, recuperation, healing, and meditation. His spirit was resting in a state of disconnect, it was uneasy and stagnant rather than fully at ease, which may explain why he may have gotten a bit stuck or lost within this timeframe — he thought he was dreaming, didn’t know he was dead, may have thought he was hallucinating or dissociating. The “permanent break from reality” felt to him in the moment like he was caught up in a very deep sleep and a lucid dream. Going back to his childhood with the reversed 2 of Wands, the matter of knowing even then that there was no point in dreaming, thinking, or planning for his future, he gave himself permission, whilst believing he was in a literal dream, to imagine and maybe play out on some level, the fantasies he had with this other person.
The Lovers is coming through very literally, especially with the image on the card. It’s a statue, a sculpture of two people embracing, something someone dreamed up but may have not experienced. The image is held in high regard and locked into place. The expression of love alone would be projected well enough through the 2 of Cups, but the fact that The Lovers is coming through here like this shows that there was a demand to see it, to feel it, to experience it fully, not just as a daydream.
The 4 of Wands is just the same with both the image here and the traditional image coming to mind. Both of them reflect celebration, but the traditional image also suggests a welcoming. Two people are on the other side of the threshold, which feels like him watching something through a window, through a screen, through his own imagination. He’s not just seeing his person welcoming him back, he’s seeing his own body welcoming him as well. It’s like part of him knew or was imagining that in some other world, they were together, and that other version of him was waiting for him to plug in and start living.
The 4 of Wands is also often connected to soulmate reunion and unification, through the representation of the two people placed within the four wands, which can appear as 1111 or 11:11, denoting parallel progression and mirrored souls, or counterparts. The number 4 is also the number of foundation and can represent the soil that the seed of The Lovers was planted in. With this recognition of welcoming on both sides, I would think that at this point he would have either found peace and crossed over after the passing of his person. It's possible the other person's soul, who was more awake and at ease in passing, came and got Jungkook out of his little limbo situation. This would take us into the 4 of Swords again in a different way, this time implying actual soul rest, the point of crossing over completely and ending this lifetime fully.
How He Saw Himself: 8 of Pentacles (rev.)
State of The Soul: The Fool (rev.)
With the reversed 8 of Pentacles, there was a lot of deep disappointment toward himself for not being able to “do the basics,” which don’t actually seem to be very basic to me. This goes back to him not being able to handle or cope with his job, something that it seems most of his family did. This is very specific to harming or killing other people — it was considered a basic aspect of the job, it was something he couldn’t cope with doing in spite of doing it many times, and therefore he saw himself as someone who couldn’t keep up or couldn’t perform as well. The 8 of Pentacles here gives a feeling of a broken conveyor belt in a factory, a person unable to fall in line with others, a loss of self-control.
The state of the soul reflects major restriction of potential, which goes back to the lack of autonomy that was prominent throughout this lifetime. The Fool, when upright, represents pure potential, and in reverse, it represents something that feels more like a doll, someone or something at the mercy of the outside energy, the outside potential, rather than what can come from within, what can come from personal choice. It seems to come down to him having gotten very comfortable with the idea of being able to follow rules and follow the leader in every way that when he hit this wall of his own limitations, he felt deeply unnerved by this. It’s almost like he was so controlled by others that it seemed like when he was left on his own to perform “simple tasks” he was unable to do anything. I think he thought of himself as someone who couldn’t do the job unless someone was holding his hand, and with that came a lot of insecurity and self-hatred around the emotional and more sensitive spaces within himself, which at some point he lived in denial of.
How Others Saw Him: 10 of Swords (rev.)
How He Was Meant To Be Seen: Justice (rev.)
Unfortunately, it would seem most people saw him as someone coming undone, and with Justice in reverse, this is somewhat how he was supposed to be seen. Both cards here represent the mind splitting or unraveling. Justice itself feels more like the connection, the line of mediation between the inner world and the outer world, or the real world and the dream world (hallucinations/flashbacks), either collapsed or bled between the two leaving no distinction. The 10 of Swords is more visceral, feeling like the mind and nervous system becoming overwhelmed and glitching out, slowly being eroded away and then completely destroyed. From the outside looking in, he looks like someone who went completely insane in an "inevitable" way, while he himself was still fighting to keep himself above water. It feels like people looked at him as a lost cause long before he truly was, and that came down to him simply not being able to follow commands anymore.
Goal: The Devil
What Was Accomplished: Knight of Cups
Again, this was a lifetime centered around development, so while this does seem a bit heavy, it is something he wanted to experience on a soul level with the intention of it contributing to his future navigation in working lifetimes — most likely a crash course in how to avoid the loss of autonomy, identity, and the heart.
The Devil representing the goal is more centered in the image, where the devil is shown to be whispering together with the man, both images distorted as the identity and self-awareness are lost. This feels like a reflection of the Wheel of Fortune and the Queen of Wands, which felt like someone else sitting in the driver’s seat of his life from the very beginning. The goal was to experience a complete loss of control that led to self-destruction so that these things could be navigated around more smoothly, which is what is shown to be accomplished with the Knight of Cups.
A more fluid, heart-centered energy that is self-guided and dedicated to making dreams a reality. This is all represented in the Knight of Cups, and I do think we see that energy in him now in his current lifetime. The Knight of Cups is also considered the most romantic of the Knights, usually associated with Prince Charming or the “knight in shining armor.” It’s a set mission, one he set for himself on a soul level, to curate a life and experience that is purely under his own rule, with a focus on personal foundations, love, connection, and proper unification with his person. I’m seeing that one of the reasons, on a higher level, that things seem to fall into place for him so easily is because he’s quite literally done it all before and can bypass a lot of the challenges one might face. He’s, on multiple levels, in the driver’s seat of his life and has a full view of the navigation system, with a clear vision of the end goal, which is centered on The Lovers and the 4 of Wands.
Significant Soul Connection: Temperance
What Was Gained: 4 of Cups (rev.)
The significant soul connection that was experienced in this past life is represented by Temperance, a person displayed as being balanced between the physical and spiritual, a soul fully integrated into the body. What was gained from this connection, based on the reversed 4 of Cups, is actually what was lost or never found. Again, there was a foundation being laid within this past life that led to him being able to very much so appreciate love and connections in all subsequent lifetimes, so this aspect of separation being “what was gained” still makes sense within this lifetime and can be looked at positively on a soul level, while also registering as incomplete on a conscious level within these memories.
Added note: I ended up doing an additional reading out of curiosity to see the energy signatures of this connection in the current lifetime in order to explore any interesting reflections or carry-overs from this past life. That reading will be included at the end of this one for reference.
Tools/Lessons Being Accessed: Gemini — I think + 1st House — The body + 11th House — Friends
The lessons being accessed here reflect the two main points of crossover that I recognized in the beginning — personal autonomy and a deep appreciation for relationships and connection overall. Gemini and the 1st House, with the key phrases “I think,” and “the body,” register very clearly as an independent mind guiding an independent body, a life dedicated to personal achievement and satisfaction alongside and in front of many people that he would feel supported and validated by. Anyone that wouldn’t support him on this would be in direct conflict with his very soul, something that in this current life he would not be able to look past. He may have moments (or had, in the past) where he allows things to slip for the sake of avoiding confrontation or hoping to see the best in someone or something, but there’s a very clear personal boundary that is laid and is meant to really solidify and become completely non-negotiable.
Outlook: Imagine
This was quite an energy to see rush through with this card. This set refers to the outlook Jungkook may have in this current lifetime based on his soul’s experience in the previous one. Here, with Imagine, there is a major emphasis on the aspect of dreaming, of looking ahead and seeing the infinite possibility in himself and everyone and everything around him. In comparison to this past life where, from the beginning, he was not able to dream or even plan his own future, here everything with Imagine is shown to be entirely within the realm of his own will. So long as he can see it in his mind, he will be able to bring it to life, for himself and others around him. This will cast a lot of inspiration out into the world, this energy is something that ripples out and expands on itself.
Something To Remember: Angels and Masters + Love + Play
This set would be for Jungkook if he were actually receiving this reading, something for him to remember or take note of from this past life, usually something that the soul wants to cement into the conscious mind so that it doesn’t get lost, forgotten, or bypassed along the way. Here, the Angels and Masters cards I was seeing as reflecting The Magician and Temperance. The Magician is a card that comes out for Jungkook a lot nowadays (it used to be The Fool with the Ace of Wands, or the Page of Wands), and of course, Temperance is here representing his soul counterpart or the person he will experience union with.
For reference, I was seeing the images of these two cards reflected in the image of Angels and Masters. Temperance’s wings and the chakras represent The Magician’s personal and external alignment, both acting as conduits of energy. One a bit softer, the other a bit more hands on and direct. It blends very nicely divine masculine and feminine energy that is expressed on both sides, showing individual soul development has been curated to a high degree. In the main card, “Angels” refers mainly to Temperance, and “Masters” refers mainly to The Magician, but both of them would be considered both as they both, out of body, would be “Angels” and on earth, as humans, would both be considered “Masters” of their own souls. Their progression, potentially parallel, would be evident.
Alongside the reminder of this significant connection, he also has two Heart Chakra cards with Love and Play, which really just felt like a marker of affirmation, his higher soul coming through and saying, “yes, you’ll know when it’s right because THIS is what it feels like.” It’s pure love, genuine love that comes very naturally, instinctually, and a vibrancy that brings him back to, or keeps him in a healthy state of playful youth, always ready to move and jump and yell and just really let himself be with this other person. The same feeling would be there for the other as well. It would be very natural, casual, simple, but potent and undeniable.
Closing Messages
Full Moon in Pisces — Balance spirituality and practicality
Spider Spirit — Make your dreams real.
The closing messages here, which would still just be for him to take, emphasize again the importance of maintaining that personal direction, that conscious connection to his own soul, his own personal direction and desire. Along with that, the Spider Spirit affirms that this is the lifetime in which he is to make his dreams a reality, living out his designs and giving himself free rein within all of it.
Temperance’s Energy Signature In The Current Lifetime
The energy signature of the person represented by Temperance is very clear, but there is a heaviness to the energy especially in relation to The Tear, Saturn Return, and Concentration. There’s a lot of internal struggle with this person, but struggles that they are able to manage and move beyond quite easily, although they benefit most, or are able to help themselves the most when they are with others or are being supported.
The Tear and the Third-Eye Chakra show a deeply internalized person, someone who may find it difficult to speak or express themselves fully on their own, but are very capable of seeing into other people, very observant and very aware of what other people are feeling or the general vibes of an environment. There are heavier emotions that seem to flood the space with The Tear, but I’m seeing this in a way where the water droplet of The Tear, green and gold like the Heart and Solar Plexus Chakras, magnify or clear the lens of the Third Eye. Their own emotional upsets help them to feel and understand others more instinctually rather than intuitively.
Flexibility covers internal and external aspects — showing a flexible individual in the way that they speak to others, the way they listen to others, but also in the way that they operate within themselves. This can also be taken literally with a person who has a flexible body as I’m seeing this relating to how they take care of themselves with an effort to stay fit or stay relaxed and well-managed through physical activity. With the Flexibility card specifically, yoga, dancing, or light cardio would be more the speed, activity that has the potential to relieve stress rather than add strain through something like weight training.
In comparison to Jungkook, the Flexibility card seems to hold more of that Divine Feminine energy as well, it’s the receptive space as well as a space of operation. The internalized flexibility is in the way they receive others, how they communicate with others, and how they interact with their environments. They are more receptive to, and one could say potentially at the mercy of, the energy or the people around them. I feel like this could have been a problem that has already been solved or is managed more consciously now as I keep seeing the person in the image of Flexibility wobbling before straightening back up like something else straightened out their spine.
Saturn Return is at the center of the spread and feels very significant in relation to time. There is a peak point either for this person or potentially for both of them around the time of the Saturn Return, but more specifically the culmination point which can fall around the 30th birthday specifically. It’s a point of transition out of a time of strenuous effort toward balancing things within yourself, and between yourself and the rest of the world (20s) and into a mode of personal awareness and a sense of personal liberation (30s). These two may meet each other in their 30s or if they’ve already met, which is possible due to The Tribe card, they may reach a certain peak or highlight of their relationship while they are in their 30s.
I also feel that for this person individually, the presence of Saturn here at the center shows that this person has been through their fair share of trials in their life and has built themselves up with it very nicely and is to be rewarded for that effort in the time of their 30s. Especially with the context of The Tear, Third Eye, and Flexibility, this person has had to learn how to manage themselves and other people, overcome a lot of personal, internal obstacles as well, and will be solidifying personal foundations of peace later on if they have not already begun doing it. In other words, very strict boundaries, a very close and limited circle of friends (The Tribe), words and actions would be very carefully chosen, and so on.
The Tribe card is very interesting because I immediately got thrown to the idea of soul family or cosmic DNA, connections that are very clear and strong due to the significant bonds that are beyond the physical. Considering that Jungkook, along with the other members, are here on a working lifetime, it is right to assume they did not come in alone, they came in with a lot of people that would help to ensure they are able to do what they need to do together and individually. This Temperance person is someone who is part of that group, is well intertwined with the space and if they are not already part of it, would be someone who fits in very easily, as if they were there from the beginning.
With The Tribe, considering how easily the connections fit and seem to work within the same space, I assumed that this Temperance person is probably an entertainer of some kind or works in media to a degree, and Concentration seems to support that. The images on the card are what I’m most focused on, as there is this sense of a witch hunt or someone being attacked and strung up with words and emotions. The mouth on top belongs to the Temperance person while the little green goblin devil thing are like envious projections from others onto this person, literally trying to put words in their mouth or trying to corrupt their image. The way the goblin is waving its hands it’s like, “See guys! This person did this, and then that, and they said this and then this happened! They’re awful!!” It’s all made up, exaggerated, or severely distorted, but the swords fly in any way with an effort to cut the person’s mouth. I’m taking that literally in the sense of hoping to silence them as well as very literally tarnish their image, and destroy some level of beauty they wish wasn’t there.
If you think of the goblin thing as a little demon, and Temperance as an angel, the “default hatred” toward Temperance makes sense, but this is being displayed amongst humans, so it’s coming across as Temperance just kind of existing and jealous and hateful people going out of their way to destroy this person’s existence to some degree. It seems very on par with what celebrities, especially in the idol world go through.
The star at the bottom, strung up in a spider’s web, also comes from the effort of others to subdue or tone down the image of Temperance. There’s something more “close to home” with the web where it feels like they are not only being held down by the web, but they are also holding the web in place from the center. It’s a sense of self-sacrifice, and I’m seeing this as falling into some kind of extremism where, essentially, Temperance is aware, potentially due to the image above, that their natural image (an angel of fluidity and balance) is not something people enjoy and therefore they lean a little more into one side over the other. This takes the star’s color from a bright white (a blend of all the colors) to a solid red (centered more in the Root Chakra, more superficial, more image-oriented).
It is quite nice though if you consider that no matter how much other people try and destroy their image, and no matter how much they limit themselves for the sake of peace, they remain a star, the remain as some kind of celestial image that you can imagine floating brightly in the sky, looking down on everything with a sense of understanding and compassion.
The Ace of Pentacles is the last card for this person’s energy center and this may also contribute to them being a person in entertainment or a public figure of some kind as I was seeing this in connection to money as well as production. It’s both the work they do and the money they earn. Both are quite big and come from a “heavenly place” or an “otherworldly place.” There’s something about a natural or necessary exchange, as in this person gives the pentacle to the world, a product, a body of work, and then the world gives back to them a gold coin, a reward, money, success. It’s done quite big and quite successfully because it is supported on a higher level and fueled by the soul. There’s something of innovation or inspiration involved as well where their work or what they contribute to the world should be seen as and treated as a gift from an angel — people may really feel this to be true, and this may be why there are little goblins running around trying to tarnish it. On another level, they see this person’s goodness as a weapon against their own efforts to stagnate and destroy, to live miserably, to believe only in hopelessness, imbalance, lack, and a loss of identity.
The last two cards were pulled with the intention of catching an echo of a whisper, something that this person on some level would say or has said to Jungkook himself. There they have the Badger Spirit which says, “be fearless and bold,” and the New Moon in Capricorn, “your hard work is paying off.”
There certainly is a lot of support there in those words, generating what feels like a driving force or immense inspiration. The way this person has a gift for the world — that gift is received ten times over by Jungkook and the effects of this person would be quite noticeable to him, but still remain questioned by others. In this, they may fuel each other where Jungkook is inspired and pushed forward and the Temperance person is validated, appreciated, and in that is encouraged to keep going, keep building, keep delivering that fluid balance into the world.
The Magician (Jungkook): 5 of Cups (rev.)
Temperance: 7 of Wands (rev.)
Since we can’t be sure if they know each other already or if this connection is waiting in the wings, this section is more zoomed out and is reflecting what their souls or Higher Selves are contributing or pushing down for the other person’s conscious level reception. Here, Kook has the 5 of Cups in reverse. The 5 of Cups, when upright, is a person stuck in grief, insecurity, or a sense of hopelessness after experiencing some kind of upset that affected them deeply. It represents a person focusing only on flaws, low points, downfalls, and failures, losing focus on or going completely blind to hope, potential, or their own capability. This would reflect the Temperance person’s deeper inner sensitivity, connecting to The Tear specifically.
In reverse, Jungkook flushes out that dark water, and feels to shield this person from the swords and cut them from the bindings shown in Concentration. He lightens their load and opens their eyes again to a brighter future, giving them the strength they need to keep going.
In the same way, Temperance contributes the reversed 7 of Wands. Upright, the 7 of Wands is about fighting to keep your place, feeling competitive with others, or even just competitive with the self, feeling the strenuous urge to do more, be more. I am feeling this as very self-focused, as if he’s fighting with himself, or fighting his own sense of limitations. Where Temperance's sense of limitation could stop them from moving out of fear of confrontation, Jungkooks sense of limitation has the potential to make him burn himself out trying to perfect himself beyond those perceived limitations. Both are a bit exaggerated but not without intention — these perceived limitations were put on them both by other people, they just respond to them differently.
Temperance, as they reversed the 7 of Wands for Jungkook, cools the ego, soothes the tension and seems to apply some of their own flexibility to his energy, mind, and body. The same way Temperance is validated by Jungkook, Jungkook is validated by Temperance and is encouraged to move forward. Actually, it’s more like he’s ENSURED to move forward. There was never an issue of him potentially stopping, there was just a potential for him to be forced to stop due to burnout or injury.
In this, these two exchange Water and Fire between the Cups and the Wands. On their own, Temperance carries more Water, more fluidity, more feminine receptivity, while Jungkook carries more Fire, externalized action, and masculine projection. They carry both energies very well, again showing the level of development in both of these souls, but they both lean a bit in either direction. With the reversed 5 of Cups, we see Jungkook illuminate and purify the heavier dark water that Temperance is dealing with. It doesn’t go away, it doesn’t evaporate, it simply is purified, cleared enough that Temperance can get back to the normal state of flow, clarity, and awareness. This goes into The Tear, the water acting as a magnifier for the Third-Eye — the deeper emotions are necessary and their ability to balance them is key, but when things get heavier, the water gets darker and the visibility of what’s really there, even within the self can become distorted.With the reversed 7 of Wands, Temperance runs Water through Jungkook’s system. Not snuffing out the flames, but cooling the generators that were steaming hot and about to crack.
How Kook Sees Temperance:
4 of Wands (rev.) + 7 of Swords (rev.) + 4 of Cups (rev.)
This is quite funny because all throughout this I’ve been trying to figure out if this is a connection that is already in play on a conscious and physical level, or if I’m just picking up on the inherent soul connection. With these cards it’s like saying, “No, I’m not WAITING for this person, they’re right here! No, I’m not SNEAKING AROUND with this person, they’re right here! No, you’re not MISSING anything, it’s right here!”
I’m thinking more of the Rider-Waite cards with this, so I’ll explain each of them for reference:
The 4 of Wands is connected to higher soul mate connections and soul counterparts with the four wands in the foreground often being seen as 1111 or 11:11, implying parallel paths of development or work that are leading to a point of unification. The two people in the background, within this context, can be considered the souls of the two individuals, already together on another level, waiting to celebrate the physical and conscious level unity. In this case, that would imply that the 4 of Wands says the connection is going to happen, that the paths are parallel but have not crossed yet. With this card reversed, it’s saying, in a very sly way, that this connection has already come to be, this union has already happened, there is no waiting.
The 7 of Swords shows a person sneaking around, specifically stealing swords and doing so in a way that’s going to trip him up. If we consider the potential of Temperance also being in the entertainment industry, there may be a need to keep things quiet, but there is no desire, with the card in reverse, to go unnoticed. The swords are still held by the blade, words, confirmation are still held back, but there is no desire to hide or “sneak around.” This connection is a visible connection to both him and other people.
The 4 of Cups is more externalized, as in you can imagine the floating cup in front of the man with his eyes closed as another version of the 7 of Swords — you’re not missing anything, it’s right in front of you, they are showing this connection, it’s just not making a lot of noise, it’s not being said out loud. When upright, the cup goes unnoticed by the man with his eyes closed, either because he’s meditating and expecting to receive this cup in his own mind, or he’s fallen asleep and hasn’t noticed it. Here, for this, it feels like the man is straight up refusing, crossing his arms, closing his eyes, and shaking his head. It makes me feel a little sad because it’s leaving the hand in the cloud to question, “why did you accept those cups, but you won’t accept ours?”
It’s like they were signaling or trying to slyly put themselves out there, but people refused or maybe even denied the connection in terms of their companies or management refusing a public relationship. On some level people are refusing them while accepting others and it’s very frustrating and confusing, specifically to Jungkook. It seems like, from that higher perspective, Temperance understands it, does not like it but understands it and is more compliant with the idea of needing to sneak or keep things hidden. There actually does seem to be a lot of frustration in this set now that I’m lingering on this one — “No, you’re not MISSING anything, it’s right here!”
In reverse, Jungkook is really like, “I can see this person clear as day, they’re right here, they’re right next to me, why are you acting like you can’t see them? Why are you acting like you can’t see us?”
How Temperance Sees Jungkook:
Knight of Cups + King of Pentacles (rev.)
When it comes to how Temperance sees Jungkook, there’s an interesting reflection here that seems to relate to Jungkook’s view of Temperance, or more specifically his view of their relationship. When these cards came out, the Knight of Cups was hidden underneath the reversed King of Pentacles. The Knight of Cups is what Temperance knows of Jungkook — the Knight of Cups combined Fire and Water and seems to reflect the “knight in shining armor,” “prince charming” energy in the way they feel to be rescued from their own dark waters, literally swept up on the boat shown in the image.
However, the King of Pentacles in reverse registers as very stubborn, moving from mutable energy (Fire and Water) fully into the space of Fixed Earth energy, double Earth, very hardened and not very receptive. It’s that frustration from his set. It’s like when he’s with Temperance, he’s fully in that fluid state, more at ease and even more mature, but when he’s looking out at the world, looking out at these aspects of restriction, he’s very frustrated and it seems to trigger his ego, potentially triggering the soul in relation to autonomy and being able to live and operate freely under his own rule, literally taking the crown away from the King.
Again, it seems like Temperance is more understanding and receptive to the idea that they have to keep things quiet or reserved for the sake of safety, their careers, and so on. I imagine since Jungkook seems so opposed to it, Temperance is probably thinking more about him than themselves, and that’s probably due to them having been stabbed and strung up already in Concentration. They’ve felt that restriction already in other ways, they’ve had to learn flexibility because of it, and it seems they don’t want Jungkook to have to bend and nearly break like that, and instead wants to kind of set perimeters and then ensure freedom within those parameters, ensure freedom within their connection.
Current State: The Chariot
The current state of their connection being represented by The Chariot is really nice as it showcases that they are in fact on the same path now. With soul counterparts, the parallel paths eventually merge into one higher path that affirms and supports soul purpose, or in their case soul mission. This is not an intersecting path, meaning this seems to be a potentially one and done deal unless they choose to separate on a conscious level. In other words, if it was purely up to their souls to decide, they are together now and will be together until their lifetimes here are over. When one dies, they will stay with the one who is still living until they pass.
Highest Potential:
10 of Wands (rev.) + 10 of Swords (rev.) + 4 of Swords
The highest potential of their connection is genuinely lovely and makes me want to cry a bit. This is all centered around finding peace and being able to rest, either within each other, within this relationship, or this is something they are both building up and will one day be able to fully step into. The two 10s here are the “bad ones,” opposing the peace and fulfillment of the 10 of Pentacles and 10 of Cups. The 10 of Wands is strain and a lot of physical exertion, something that feels very connected to Jungkook’s frustration and urge to perfect himself. The 10 of Swords is about undeniable ends and destruction of reality, seeming to connect back to the swords flying in Concentration, the aspect of being strung up, bound, and abused by others' words and actions toward Temperance. Both of these are reversed showing that the highest potential of their connection involves relief from these burdens.
This is then doubled down on with the 4 of Swords which is literally just about resting after a major upset, relaxing and trying to heal, preparing for what is to come next. It’s a nap for the mind, body, and soul.
Again, this may be something they are already experiencing in small doses with each other, literally finding peace or a place to “nap” within each other, but this could also be something they are trying to build and move toward, creating a permanent state of rest or peace.
This brings to mind, as a kind of end goal, the complete transition of the two reversed 10s here and the upright 10 of Cups and 10 of Pentacles. For the sake of comparison, here are all four cards from the Rider-Waite deck:
Again, the 10 of Wands seems to be connected more to Jungkook and the 10 of Swords is more connected to Temperance. Take notice of how they are alone in those images, while the other two show partners and family, potentially The Tribe. The reversal of these cards feels like being able to find peace and retreat from these energies within each other when they can, but there also feels to be an open space or a desire to make this permanent and create the 10 of Pentacles and the 10 of Cups. You can imagine them on their own as having already both achieved for themselves the 9s of Cups and Pentacles — wish fulfillment and independent success, but the 10s are everlasting and hold matters of legacy and true soul fulfillment.
The 10 of Pentacles is more externalized and has to do with legacy and building up wealth, status, and solid foundations for themselves and their family that can be trusted, that can not be undone or taken away. The 10 of Cups is more internalized and represents absolute bliss, absolute personal, internal happiness and satisfaction with what is there. Both of these cards imply family, marriage, and growing old together.
That's all I have for this one, thanks for reading!
