BangtanWritersHQ Presents: “Bangtanstrology"

The magic surrounding the creation of BTS is a story that is the same, yet different for each of their soulmates in ARMY, since we are all born under the same Milky Way but in different stars.

You look at the spread of tarot cards on the cloth-covered table, surprise filling your eyes in the low light of the psychic’s room. Despite having this recurring dream since childhood about seven men and the providence of the universe, you try to argue with him.

“You’re insane. How can I be yours? And also be fated to 6 others?”

“Yes, my moonchild, you are destined for great things,” his voice is deep, full of sex and smoke. “This card may say ‘Death’, but it symbolizes not your actual death, but the death of who you were before me, before us. This card here tells me that this death and rebirth will happen almost instantly. In the dark nights, we’re each other’s lights. Once you leave this tent, your life will forever be changed.”

You can’t speak, so shocked by his words, so you nod as you stand up, depositing the few bills you had previously readied as a tip as you gather your bag. Eyes looking back at the man, you feel more than hear his next words straight to your core.

“You can’t fight fate, and you are our destiny.”

Back outside the psychic’s building, as you walk to the bus stop, you sense something is off, but are unsure if you’re in danger. You safely board and the trip home flies by so quickly that you’re already off the bus and that much closer to safety. As you enter your neighborhood, the feeling returns. Speeding up, you turn the corner by the convenience store, running smack into a broad chest before bouncing backward and onto the ground.

It feels as if the Earth has shifted. The setting sun has the sky lit up in hues of lavender and violet, a gorgeous purple halo surrounding the seven sets of eyes looking at you.

“This can’t be a coincidence!” you gasp, confused at how they could manifest from your slumber to reality. “I dreamt of you.”

The one you ran into steps closer as the others behind him peer around to get a better look at you. His hand is open, palm up stretched between your bodies.

“Take it,” he says, and the others around him echo the words.

“Take it.”

You recognize one of the voices, sultry and smokey; he smirks at you as if to say ‘I told you so’.

“My hand reaching out to you is my chosen fate.”

This June marks the 10th year of BTS, the fated soulmates of ARMY. Because we are the two, who found our destiny. And to outsiders, the story is so incredible. It must be a myth, a thing of lore. No such thing could be true! But we know the truth.

“Throwback Thursday”

This might have been my favorite fall shot from last fall. I was turning down dirt roads off the main highway and was rewarded with this power line that crossed one of these dirt roads. Captured in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. #tbt 🍁

the infrastructure of this world in human development and connection to grow communities and cities

which are built from the starting point of families

and how many are fearing (to have reverence and acknowledgment of) our Creator?

(morality is actually Sourced in God and His truth who instilled us with a human conscience)

One day, truth and purity will be restored to earth. there will be no more disinformation or anything that deceives. the return of the Prince of Peace will cause war to cease. although some will fall for a counterfeit of the One True King beforehand.

the reestablishment of Israel is a prophetic working of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and God is illuminated to us in the Son who will return to rule from Jerusalem for A Sabbath day’s “rest” of a thousand years of time

this is where the world is headed.

it isn’t going to keep advancing according to the terms of man. the pride of nations will come to an end. the pride of rebellion against our Creator will cease along with all manner of idolatry and religious views apart from the rebirth of the eternal Son who is the True Messiah that many of Israel will “awaken” to see with pure (Clarity)

it is God who “conserves” the True nature of things. although the world is set for cataclysmic Judgment that will truly shake its very foundations, since the only True Foundation that exists is in Yeshua

it will be “on earth as it is in Heaven”

eventually.

what do you think of the mountains and the Trees? do these things inspire fear (reverence) in your heart? have you seen a clear night sky from high up in elevation? what do you see when looking out upon a vast valley?

(A valley view)

lava flows like blood through earth, although earth was greatly fractured during the global Flood thousands of years ago during Noah’s time that has been repopulated ever since, growing into the billions

and we have seen many catastrophes on a planet that bears a curse, filled with danger. rebirth is vital.

even the natural human heart is like an inner mountain with blood flowing through the body, and there is “life” carried in the blood (blood is absolutely sacred)

we are redeemed through Sacred Blood alone.

“You can tell it’s an Aspen tree because of the way it is.” - Lenny Pepperbottom

If you still can’t tell, what are doing with your life?Just kidding. But really? Okay, but aspens can also be identified by their smooth, white bark marked by scars where lower branches are naturally self-pruned. (We knew not to cut bangs! Shake it off!) Shake, shake, sorry, quake. Quaking Aspen leaves are somewhat heart shaped (work with us), with finely saw-toothed margins and range in size from 1.25-3” (3-8 cm) long. The leaves attach to branches via a long and flattened petiole, so that even the slightest breeze causes the leaves to flutter. Nice, err, neat! This gives the overall tree the appearance that it is quaking or trembling - hence the common name Quaking Aspen (it’s all coming together) and the scientific name’s specific epithet - tremuloides.

we certainly live in a greatly imperfect world with so many things that pollute earth and its air and water. we can strive to make things better while here, as we should. but many problems still exist and new problems arise.

it seems a constant struggle.

and everything ages with time. even the changing planet.

so you see the necessity of rebirth?

Your ideal career or profession and astrology 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

The tittle sound promising, right. I want to HELP YOU, I will not dictate what career you should take. Astrology is a tool that we use for our path. It's not endgame. Me or any other astrologer shouldn't tell you how to live.

✅Please don't plagiarize my work, this is my theory and observations. You can disagree too, but please be nice.

I don't own any of these images.

Your dream career could change through the years, but the primary focus is derivative from these following placement. I would divide this in three layers.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

First layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

MC + aspects

This is the first "layer"; people call the MC as our career or professions. However, it can also give clubes of how people see us in our job or our public image in general, not only our career.

keeping the superficial nature of this placement, it may resonated with some people and with others not so much. Then, It makes sense if you don't feel reflected in some astrology posts. For example, People with MC in aries want to feel alive and work with their body. The most mentioned career/ jobs are athletes or adventurers. However, not everyone will be an athlete,or have the money to be one. A general idea for the native is to maintain physical stimulation and to keeptheir passion; this can be applied to their any work they realise.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

Second layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

MC+ MC's ruler

This is how you hope the public perceive you. Usually, people see you in this career or say that you just fit for (insert) career. The MC ruler would give you more information.

For example, MC (10th house) in Taurus, Taurus which us ruled by Venus. This person's Venus is located in the 2nd house Virgo . It's necesssary to see its ruler too; Mercury, they have it in 3rd house Libra. With this info, we can say that this person would prefer a place where they can be organize and expressive. They also aspire to build a balanced and beautiful environment. Earth signs search pleasure and a comfortable place. They want to be useful and have a nice life.

Moreover, MC in Taurus is mentioned to be aesthetic or aesthetically pleasing. People say they will fit into fashion industry or as designers. However, Virgo in Venus (mercury). It's more mental and still looking for stability not only earth pleasures. Mercury related jobs/careers also interested the native.

Possible jobs: writer, screenwriter, songwriter, secretary, teacher, or fashion designer, artist.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

Third layer

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼

MC+ MC ruler+ North node + Asc

The third layer provides howevery aspect change the game. But I will explain it the big picture not the details (aspects), so you guys have an easier idea.

First as before, you go to your natal chart and see your MC. Let's say you have Taurus MC, so see the ruler of that sign. For Taurus is Venus, this placement is in the 2nd house is in Virgo. Virgo is rules by Mercury; let's see the mercury, which rules the 3th house is in Libra. This process is the same as previously mentioned. Which result in Venusian with mercurian energy mix.

Then, after seeing our MC and MC ruler, we need to see our North node. It doesn't matter if your MC aspected or not the Nodes. The native should follow this new challenge (north node) for this lifetime. If they don't challenge themselves, they will feel empty. Check the south node to see your natural gifts.

Finally, we go to our beautiful rising sign. Our rising is not only our physical appearance, but also shows what person we want to become, our the ideal or higher self.

The person above in the example with Venus in the 2nd house, they have a North node in Libra in the 2nd house, South node in Aries 8th house. So, what we can say about them?

They need a job where they feel good and build a higher concept of themselves, but also help others with their emotions somehow. They should have their own system of values and build their own boundaries. The following themes come easy to them investigations, rebirth, occult, death, a job where they can work close to home and have time for themselves. However, they may try to go with Libra and the 2nd house themes more, where they can have comfort and partnerships. Let's add a Scorpio rising to the mix, they will go under many transformations that can be guide for helping others.

Possible jobs: therapist, psychiatrist, psychologist, nurse, healer, banker, teacher, professor, counselor, social worker or marriage counselor.

Note 1: As I say, the third point shows the whole picture. However, I don't talk about aspects and modalities. All of that have an effect to our career.

Note 2: The aspects to the nodes depict how is the journey to your profession. It's easier or hard? It's traditional or new?

Note 3: if you have different elements in your MC, Nodes, and the ruler, you have more choices and sometimes you feel confuse.

Note 4: degrees counts too, are you more confident or timid, how you achieve your goals? Are you young or old? Mature or immature?

Note 5: Read beyond and trust yourself. When you feel lost, you should ask yourself, what are my values? Usually, you may feel the most content when you follow your North node. it doesn't mean easy choice, though.

Take care, love 💚🐥

for the fic emoji ask game: 😅🏆😬 and ✅!

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

I'm not sure tbh. I think every scene/story I've written has served a purpose (to me at least) at the time that I wrote it. I might have done some things differently, but overall, I don't know that I'm to the point yet where I'm necessarily embarrassed by the existence of any of them (barring anyone irl reading them ofc, which we will get to, haha)

🏆 What's your most popular fic?

I answered by hits/kudos here, but in terms of hits:kudos ratio, it's actually Silence and Sparrowkeets (rated T)? It's such a new fic though (for kataang week this year) with so few hits comparitively that I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. Although the second highest hits:kudos ratio fic is Making Time (rated G) so who knows.

😬 Which of your fics would you be most horrified for friends, family, or coworkers to stumble upon?

Any of my nsfw fics, hahahaha, for obvious reasons.

✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?

That's an interesting question! There are definitely words and phrases that I catch myself using over and over again, mainly because I have a hard time coming up with other words (even with a thesaurus) that mean exactly what I want to say and I am a repetitive person, hahaha. Also, I love to run with the theme of "rebirth." Especially when it comes to their love and their nations. I think that is something that is so beautiful about their relationship, and that Guru Pathik gives us that insight into their love being the love of a nation reborn just chokes me up every time I think about it, so I love incorporating that into my writing whenever I can (even if my readers are probably sick of it, hahaha oops).

Thanks so much for the playing the fanfic writer emoji ask game, friend! This was fun!
