Hello! I was wondering if you could do a tarot reading on how San typically acts around someone he has a crush on. Thank you! - 🧜🏽‍♀️
“How San of ATEEZ Acts Around His Crush: A Study in Chaotic Heart Eyes & Emotional Gymnastics”
Aphrodite sat front row for this drama and took notes. Let’s break it down.
The Vibe Check: “He’s Not Smooth, He’s Intense™”
San around a crush? Baby, it’s giving “emotionally overwhelmed theater kid trying to act normal.”
He starts with this quiet cool like he’s fine, he’s chill, he’s not obsessively thinking about you or anything (he absolutely is).
But inside? It’s a K-Drama monologue with rain, violins, and soul yearning.
He tries to flirt (Knight of Cups reversed) but it comes out awkward or accidentally too much or not enough. He gets tongue-tied or too poetic and then replays it 19 times in bed.
The “I Pretend I Don’t Like You But You’re My Entire Mood Board” Phase
He overthinks every interaction. Two of Swords + Page of Swords reversed energy says:
He’ll lowkey stalk your socials.
He’ll overanalyze your emojis.
He’ll be watching you in the group chat but only say “lol” out loud.
And if you talk to someone else? Cue silent heartbreak and “it’s fine, I didn’t even like them that much” lying-to-himself energy.
But the truth? You’re his Nine of Cups. You’re the dream. He just doesn’t know what to do with that big romantic energy without combusting.
The Shift: “Oh no, I really like them. HELP.”
Once the crush gets real, he goes full emo prince.
The Lovers + King of Pentacles + 10 of Pentacles reversed?
He’s imagining a future. Matching fits. Candlelit dinners. Emotional security.
BUT he’s scared to mess it up. He’s not going to jump unless he thinks there’s a real chance. Otherwise? He’ll stay the mysterious King of Swords in the corner pretending he’s unaffected (he’s not).
His Pursuit Style: Love Letter Meets Final Boss Battle
San doesn’t chase in a loud way. He moves with intention, not desperation.
He’s a mix of:
Soft pining + emotional repression
Protective gestures (remember when you said you liked that drink once? Now it just happens to appear every time)
Random bursts of vulnerability (“I feel like you just… get me”)
And occasionally, accidental Five of Swords chaos when his jealousy or inner critic flares up.
He might pull away just when things get close (King of Cups reversed + Two of Cups reversed) not because he doesn’t care, but because he cares too much.
The Confession Arc (if you’re lucky):
You want a rom-com moment? San’s the man for that.
If he finally confesses, it’s going to be:
Deep.
Sincere.
Full of years of pent-up emotion.
And likely paired with a nervous laugh and a “you don’t have to say anything right now.”
He’s that man who shows love with actions first. The little things. The loyalty. The late-night check-ins. That’s his love language while he gathers the courage to say the big things.
Overview:
San isn’t the obvious flirt. He’s the emotional slow-burn, the pining poet, the “acts tough but is secretly soft” romantic.
He pursues with his heart in armor, testing the waters with humor, affection, and steady loyalty.
But when he’s in? He’s ALL IN.
Just be ready—once you’re his muse, he’s not letting go.
