Which tarot court cards would you think best decribes each bts member and why?
great question! as usual, ignoreĀ the german labels on my cards
Namjoon is the KING OF SWORDS. What looks like a scary card is actually the brainiac of the tarot š It was glaring I needed to associate Joon with swords (they symbolize intellect) and mature energy. The Page and Knight are too youthful, itās either King or Queen. The Queen of Swords is all about cutting ties and never mincing words, thatās not him. The King of Swords is left and it fits, he is all about reasoning, high ed, leadership, and being a father figure. The same goes for assertive speech, rap is represented well by this card. RM often poses as the all-powerful King of Wands, but his pursuit of knowledge connects to air (Swords) rather than fire (Wands). It needs an analytical archetype here. The King of Swords is often found in deep, wise thought just like Joon.
Jimin is theĀ KNIGHT OF CUPS. Another obvious suits pick, cups equal emotion, thatās where Jimin is at home. The ups and downs and romance themes of water energy are very present here. Pentacles are too profit-based, Swords and Wands not tactful enough. A flirty and people savvy guy, Jimin has to be in the chalice suit where love is the key. I picked the Knight because of his chivalry and sexy strength that comes from the heart. I also considered the empathetic, selfless Queen of Cups, however, I feel sheās too advanced and serious for him at this point, but heās headed there.Ā The Knight has more fervor in his charm and mood while at the same time being sensitive and younger. As a dancer, it has to be a tarot figure thatās on the move with less lingering, always on the search for giving and receiving affection.Ā
TaehyungĀ is theĀ PAGE OF CUPS. I was debating whether cups or pentacles are his matching suit. Swords and Wands I excluded from the get-go, too wild, too extreme, too primal. Swords are sneaky silver tongues prone to aggression, wands are the boss mood of the tarot. Thatās not Tae at his core.Ā Since cups are all about creativity, art, beauty, family and dreams while pentacles mean business, nurture, pragmatism: Cups it is. Similar to Jimin, he aspires to level up, in his case, to become the King of Cups, the ultimate family man. But for now, Tae occupies the dreamy state of the curious Page who is lost in thought and loves to create. The energy of cups becomes whimsical and inventive here. Taeās imagination is strong, thatās precisely what this card stands for.
Hobi is theĀ KING OF WANDS.Ā I mean look at that fashion forward guy. Very majestic. Here goes the most powerful and enthusiastic guy of the suits. A court card of strong passion for a born entertainer. The other suits I excluded fast. Swords: Too much hyperrational, up-in-the-clouds thought going on. Cups: Too intuitive. Pentacles: Too corporate. Wands describe Hobiās bright and energetic personality best, he matches suits with Jin with good reason. Since heās the quasi-leader of Bangtan and has effortless confidence to take control and teach, weāre talking King or Queen vibe. It could go either way, I opted for King because the Queen is more about socializing, efficiency and tasks while the King is about charisma, fun, and motivation.Ā
Jungkook is the PAGE OF PENTACLES. He has a bit of lovey-dovey cups energy and the ambition of wands, however, pentacles are still my best bet. Swords I ruled out entirely, fostering the mind for the mindās sake is not JKās forte, he prioritzes the body, what is tangible i.e. the earth element i.e. pentacles. Thereās a reason he idealizes Joon who is peak swords essence. Now, as for the figure. The King and Queen are personalities whoāve seen it all, Jungkook has not arrived there yet. The King of Coins is too busy dealing money, the Queen too busy organizing. Now whether he fits the learner role of the Page or the action task of the Knight⦠I think the Knight of Pentacles is too much of a guardian-like person to fit JK. The quirky, agile Page is much more wide-eyed. Someone who works on their skills and health constantly.
Yoongi is theĀ KING OF PENTACLES. How very sexy of him.Ā Didnāt have to think twice about that one. Cups are too relation-focused, wands too bossy, swords too ripe with conflict and academia focus. Pentacles are his ideal suit. Hard work, career, enterprise: ThatāsĀ all Yoongi stuff. Heās a homebody and more of the steady kind, thatās coins energy, too.Ā Since heās already earned himself a reputation of being too old for this shit, itās gotta be the King. Kings encompass a metric ton of experience. Success and wealth is integral to this tarot figure, as are long term plans. The King of Pentacles wants to thrive, trade, prosper, see rewards. Unlike the King of Wands or Cups itās also a more grounded male energy, pretty introverted, too. Look at the card, this king is very much to himself and hidden from plain sight.
Jin is theĀ KNIGHT OF WANDS.Ā Super bold card! Jin has a lot of fire. The willful suit of wands makes the most sense to me here. Cups, coins, swords: All not gut-based and unpredictable enough. Wands are the feral part of the tarot. Being rambunctious and fun but also direct and flamboyant, the prancing Knight energy is just about right. Thatās whyĀ Jin is the only hyung (!) that isnāt represented by a King card.Ā From time to time we see Jin appear as the caretaking Queen of Pentacles, but in actuality, Queen and King roles are far too rigid for his outlook. The Page is too childlike for him on the opposite end. Meanwhile, the Knight of Wands is a very youthful, risk-taking card with an agenda of courage and adventure. Heās fearless and out to stun like Jin.
