V (BTS) birth chart without a birth time

Birth data

V, born Kim Taehyung, was born on December 30, 1995, in the Bisan-dong neighbourhood of Seo District in Daegu, South Korea. Neither he nor his agency has named a birth time, so the chart is cast for noon. Its most visible features are five planets in Capricorn and a nearly exact square from Mars to the North Node.

What is known and what is not

The date comes from the official Big Hit Entertainment profile, Wikidata and the Korean press: December 30, 1995. Two Korean outlets, the Daegu daily Maeil Shinmun and Insight, give the place more precisely: V comes from Bisan-dong in Seo District. He lived in Geochang County from the sixth grade until he finished middle school, which is why some fan pages wrongly give Geochang as his birthplace. The hospital is not known, so the coordinates are those of the centre of Seo District.

No birth time appears in interviews or in fan translations of his Weverse and V Live broadcasts. Astro-Databank has no page for V, and Astrotheme lists the date and Seo District with the time marked as unknown and a noon chart. The chart therefore carries Rodden rating X: date without time.

The only version with an actual value is unreliable. It is 5:56 a.m., from an anonymous fan list of "BTS birth times". A reader sent the list to an astrology blog, and the blogger replied that she does not use these times; and the same list gives Jungkook 8:04 a.m., while Jungkook has pointed to a different time. That version would put the Ascendant in Sagittarius. A few other blogs mention a Sagittarius Ascendant with no time and no source, so we do not count them as separate versions.

The chart is cast for 12:00 Korea Standard Time (UTC+9); Korea did not use daylight saving time in 1995. It has no houses, Ascendant or MC, and we leave out the Moon's degree and aspects (see how we handle charts without a time). The Moon's sign is known: it stayed in Aries for the whole of December 30, 1995.

Five planets in Capricorn

The Sun at 7°55′ Capricorn, Mars at 22°42′ Capricorn, Neptune at 24°36′ Capricorn, Mercury at 26°50′ Capricorn and Uranus at 29°14′ Capricorn form a stellium. Tradition links Capricorn with discipline, responsibility and a long road to results, and five bodies in one sign make that theme the centre of the chart.

Uranus and Neptune share Capricorn in the charts of everyone born in these years, so the pair marks a generation. What makes it personal here is that Mercury and Mars sit beside it. Mercury is conjunct Neptune with an orb of 2°13′. Mercury is conjunct Uranus with an orb of 2°24′. Astrologers read Mercury next to Uranus as quick, unconventional thinking, and next to Neptune as thinking that works through images and imagination. Mars is in conjunction with Neptune, orb 1°54′, a contact tradition associates with energy channelled into an image, music or the stage rather than into open struggle.

The square to the North Node

The tightest major aspect in the chart joins Mars at 22°42′ Capricorn and the North Node at 23°31′ Libra: a square with an orb of 0°48′. Neptune also squares the North Node, orb 1°05′, and Mercury squares the Node with a wider orb of 3°19′.

In modern astrology the lunar nodes describe a direction of growth, and a Node in Libra points to partnership, cooperation and finding balance with others. A square to the Node is read as friction between a habitual way of acting and that direction. Here three Capricorn planets are caught in it, so the self-reliant, persistent Capricorn manner and the Libran need for shared work keep meeting in this chart.

Sun quintile Saturn and Venus in Aquarius

The Sun at 7°55′ Capricorn and Saturn at 19°16′ Pisces form a quintile with an orb of 0°39′. Modern astrologers link the quintile, an angle of 72°, with talent, style and the knack of giving work a form of one's own. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, also sextiles Mars, orb 3°26′.

Venus at 10°18′ Aquarius stands apart from the Capricorn cluster. Tradition associates Venus in this sign with unusual taste and a high value on friendship and freedom. Venus trines Chiron at 13°29′ Libra, orb 3°10′, with both in air signs.
