#keep!!!

when he has a crush he’s the type to want to text/talk with them constantly, and will look for any excuse to start up a conversation/learn something new about them and spark a new discussion.

his gemini is very much fueled by the excitement of conversations that bounce back and forth, and where two people can freely ignite and fuel each other’s enthusiasm. 

when there is such a lively back and forth, it brings this sense of discovery that he really loves.

whether it’s in learning new things about himself by friction or learning new things about his s/o. 

it validates his need for a reactive audience, and makes it feel like his s/o is doing what they can to see him eye-to-eye which his gemini really appreciates.

and so because of that he’s gonna want someone super responsive who will play along with his jokes, not make him second guess himself when he’s being silly, and will always give him a really great reaction. 

he wants to be hyped up, and with that he also 100% wants to be his s/o’s #1 hype man as he loves relationships where there is a lot of pride in each other.

someone very generous with praise.

his leo rising WANTS TO BE BABIED SO HARD. 

so definitely someone who is willing to dote on him and generally be very thoughtful. 

oh man, he wants to both spoil and be spoiled.

may it be in affection, delicious food, thoughtful gifts, or words of appreciation. 

he is this super contradictory mix of doesn’t want to be told what to do/wants to be taken care of. 

and so i think a dynamic that could meet that is with someone who lets him do his thing, will stand by him/support him even if that just means being someone he can fall back on, and will offer him comfort when he needs it. he just wants to know his s/o will be there for him to lift him at his highs, and really really baby him at his lows.

with a leo rising, this puts all of his gemini placements in aqua’s house which makes him this super independent person who understands his unique place in the world.

he wants to do his own thing and not think twice about it and generally gets really frustrated when he feels he needs approval. 

then that leo in and of itself is incredibly fixed and understands well what he wants. 

then on top of that his gemini makes him super set in his ways about the conclusions he’s come to may it be on situations/stances/interests and so forth. 

but to contradict all of that, his leo rising makes him soooooo susceptible to praise and flattery which kind of frustrates his air placements.

he hates needing approval, but really feels at a loss of he needs to act without support. 

so as i said before, he wants to be hyped up and this just amplifies that.

his s/o should be ready and willing to support him and offer him validation, and preferably before he has to ask for it as this is something that really feeds that leo rising heart. 

his s/o should also just be super physically affectionate as this placement makes him a super cuddly dude!!

so something that i didn’t really get into in his chart first impressions are decans! 

when you’re looking at a chart with so many placements in one sign, to get a deeper/more nuanced analysis you can look at the decans.

his mars and moon are in 2nd decan, so this gives these planets a little tinge of libra influence. 

with the moon and mars, this is going to give his gemini placements an attitude that is a lot more focused on harmony ESPECIALLY considering the relevance these planets have to relationships.

he’s going to want to be with someone who can offer him a very balanced dynamic. 

someone who can meet his gemini’s reach for curiosity/passionate discussion as well as someone who is willing to compromise when necessary.

this is emphasized by his gemini placements that are pretty averse to people who are close-minded/set in their way/immovable by logic and debate. 

but then you throw in that libra and a sense of fairness is incredibly important to maintain in relationships or else he’ll get moody. 

this also makes him kind of flighty because he doesn’t like saying no. 

and so, in a very contradictory fashion, he may benefit from someone who is divisive enough in relationships to say it up front if something is wrong, what needs to get done, and to aid him to act when he needs to as he may find he’s more a people pleaser in closer relationships than he may like/be aware of. 

his sun and venus are in the 3rd decan (aquarius)

so this is interesting, mainly because all of his gemini is already in the 11th house so his aqua influence was incredibly strong to begin with. 

and so this brings strong sense of individuality, desire to set himself apart, as well as a strong emphasis on friends/community. 

he’s very averse to someone who wants to pin him down while also making him very attracted to someone whose very individual.

another way to really catch his intrigue is by being someone very progressive and forward thinking.

lol i also think about how he said on ofd castaway that his ideal type was someone who was a bad girl but nice to him. 

i think the concept of a bad girl would be appealing to him based off the fact the concept in and of itself is very unconventional. 

because of that, someone who is so unconcerned with being ordinary is, in and of itself, very attractive to him. 

i also think it’s important to say that i find aqua influences are going to be the ones who value friendship more than they do romance. 

he would be SO turned off by someone who felt they needed to restrict his interactions with his friends in any way shape or form -- may it be his s/o wanting him to cancel plans to hang out, his s/o wanting him their side at a party, or generally if his s/o saw the way he values friends as a threat to their relationship.

really, any kind of tug away from his friends (no matter how gentle/forceful) is going to deter him from someone. 

moving on from decans tho!

his mercury and moon are conjuct on either side of his mars. 

i think it’s interesting to have both of his moon and mars conjunct each other as this is a very dynamic, very reactive influence to have. 

this makes him that super boisterous, excitable, passionate hoshi we all know and love. 

this also makes him very straight forward in love. 

he’d honestly just think that someone who was as bold/straight-forward as he was, or someone who didn’t blink an eye at his antics would be incredibly attractive to him. 

it’d excite and encourage him. 

mercury also adds to this straight forward sense as he’s very straight to the point and expressive in language~ 

he really appreciates a very simple, predictable, candid communication style with his s/o. 

his sun is conjuct his venus which is super cute as i think this is one of the reasons hoshi is so cuddly. 

when you have the sun in conjuct to venus, you really attribute a lot of those super romantic and soft venusian vibes to him that give us Squishy Hoshi™️ 

he’s certainly a romantic, and would want someone who is very loving and affectionate. 

and kind of snowballing from his libra decan from before, this is what makes him much more accommodating than your run-of-the-mill gemini. 

he’s incredibly concerned with maintaining and seeing to his s/o’s happiness, and makes him want a simple and considerate relationship.

his mars is opposite pluto!!! this one is the WILD one. 

mars meeting pluto in hard aspect is an INCREDIBLY powerful placement. 

they’re both very intense planets -- mars ruling the more carnal aspects of ourselves and then pluto owning the more obsessive parts. 

there is a sense of extremes within him -- extremes in love, extremes in passion, extremes in bouts of anger. 

he’s very drawn to act, and having such a potent/provocative planet like pluto at the whims of the turbulent and fierce mars can give him a great sense of unrest when his gemini mars in challenged. 

so situations that may cause this placement to act out are when he’s being restricted.

gemini’s like the freedom of choice and exploration (may it be in life, career, and relationships) and so he’d really benefit being with someone who allows him to embrace this part of himself as this will avoid potential conflicts with is mars. 

with that, it is also really important that his s/o both give him space to be himself while also being willing to tell him how it is if he’s acting out-of-hand. 

his gemini’s energy is really easy to redirect, so once he’s been given a bit if perspective he gains control of the situation very quickly (see: the whole ofd japan money situation)

but that pluto influence makes his anger very all-consuming so he really struggles to reach that point without external help. 

this placement also makes him very attached/possessive in love. 

i think especially with that leo rising, that he’d want to be with someone who was okay with the idea of them being “his.” 

he wants freedom obviously, but he certainly wants to make it clear to everyone whose his s/o is and would really love it if his partner returned the sentiment as his leo likes the idea of being someone his s/o could be proud of. 

another significant thing to note in terms of relationships is his neptune and jupiter in the 6th house!! 

i think this is SUPER interesting. 

all of his energies are super intense, passionate, potentially impulsive and stubborn. 

but then you put these outer planet influence in the house of virgo that adds a strong emphasis on lifestyle, work, and domesticity. 

he wants to be with a very accountable, reliable, and generous person in daily life thanks to his jupiter in the 6th house.

then you throw in that neptune that makes him incredibly feeling/empathetic that makes him drawn to care for people without hesitation. 

both of these make him very generous/selfless in relationships, especially in terms of providing, supporting, and being generally thoughtful 

(though keep in mind that the 6th house doesn’t really come into play too much in relationships until they’re sharing a space/lifestyle). 

because of that he’d like to be with someone who 1) is equally generous and 2) is going to ensure people (themselves included) do not take advantage of this aspect! 

his openness in this regard makes him rather vulnerable to people with malintent and so someone with a discerning eye could be of benefit to him! 

another kind of interesting way of looking at it: depending on how aware his friends/family/the members are of this aspect in him -- it’s highly probable that someone who is more impulsive, self-focused, and rather insensitive to what they take vs what they give will simply not pass the “can i date soonyoung” test. 

and considering how his aqua influences make him value friendship more than romance, he’s more than likely going to listen to his friends over anything a potential suitor may have to say.  

he’s just really rather gullible in this regard and he MUST be protected. 

he is a very all-or-nothing guy on so many fronts. 

he doesn’t really know what it’s like to be stingy in love/affection. 

and so, if he’s with someone who is more reserved/practical/stoic, this brings a sense that he needs to now be self-conscious of how open he is in this regard which HE HATES. 

so it’s vital that he’s with someone very loving, very open, and just as heavy-handed in affection as he is while also being very aware, thoughtful, and considerate. 

maintaining good feelings in his relationships rely just as much on acknowledging actions as they are on giving. 

oh man, i was totally not able to touch on EVERY single aspect in his chart relating to romance and relationships so this convo can certainly be returned to. 

but the last thing i’ll touch on is his aqua descendent! 

so his rising is in leo which makes him this person who really craves recognition/validation in ways that are very self-indulgent/congratulatory (tho i wouldn’t particularly say “vain”) 

he’s certainly someone very focused on gaining approval, and where he’s gravitated to in life and love is someone who represents the exact opposite of that. 

someone who encourages him by example and validation to be himself, and removing that kind of “i need approval” blockade he may have in his personal life that causes him to second guess himself/prevents him from seeing the full picture of his importance/uniqueness. 

being with someone like that would allow him to be more focused on what he brings to the table, as opposed to simply using other’s reactions as a measurement of his worth.

he’s very much like this in his work, but this unapologetic confidence may not be extended towards relationships/romance.

generally just a sweet boy! 

he wants an exciting relationship where humor is boundless. 

i think he’d be INCREDIBLY delighted by someone who not just meets his wackiness, but attempts to one-up him. 

someone who is brave enough/trusts enough in him to stand with him when he’s putting himself out there, may it be in more serious circumstances or in defense of a really bad joke he’s made. 

and someone who is going to really teach/reinforce to him what he means when he says he values individuality. 

i think this is incredibly relevant to him due to the fact he considers himself an introvert -- there is still a strong part of him that second guesses himself when putting himself out there, that causes a kind of delay/volatility in how he expresses himself socially where he’s A LOT ALL AT ONCE and then fizzles out.

and so i think if someone is able to be that constructive/discerning eye for him while also being able to look at all the wild he is already and meet him half way is something that would 1) make him fall SO HARD but also 2) really make him feel secure enough in himself to the point he’d feel he has a choice in how extra he wants/doesn’t want to be. 

i especially think this is true considering how much more unapologetically weird he is around his members, as opposed to everyone else.
