Sophia Laforteza, born 31 December 2002 in Queens, New York, and raised in Manila. Here is what her chart says about how she leads KATSEYE.
Sophia's chart is spring water in the coldest month, with more water on both stems above it and a polished Metal branch beneath. Four of her six visible characters are Water. Very few charts sit this deep in one element.
Her Day Master is the small, clear water of rain and springs, and she is born in its strongest month. Water is the element of feeling and of taking the shape of whatever holds it. With this much of it, she takes in other people's moods quickly and fully. She is not reserved; she is absorbent.
Under her sits a Rooster branch of polished Metal, and Metal is the source that keeps water flowing. In the chart it is the star of training and discipline: the theatre household, the years of formal practice, the precise vocal technique. The feeling is deep, but it comes out through a trained instrument.

READ MY SAJUBoth stems above her are the same element as her, water standing beside water. The classical texts read this as peers, sisters, a team. Her chart is built around a group of equals rather than around being above anyone. She leads as the first of the sisters, by looking after them, which is how the other members describe her.
The texts say winter water needs the sun to thaw it before anything else, and her chart was born without one. Her decade to about 2030 brings Metal and dry earth, the stars of support and standing. 2026 brings the Fire she lacks but brings it hard, clashing directly with her month pillar, the pillar of work and surroundings, so it is the year of most movement in her chart.
Daniela, Lara and Megan are all Metal Day Masters, and Metal is what water is born from. On paper, three of the members support the leader directly. Daniela's branch also half-joins Sophia's in a Metal combination, a second tie on top of the first.
Her water, in turn, is what feeds Yoonchae's tree, so the leader nourishes the youngest. Lara is the one her chart argues with: their branches clash, Rooster against Rabbit, which between close members shows up as frank talk rather than distance.

READ MY SAJUSophia was born on 31 December 2002. Her chart reads 壬午 for the year, 壬子 for the month and 癸酉 for the day. Her Day Master is 癸 Water, in its inward, yin form.
No. Her Western zodiac sign is Capricorn, which comes from her birth month alone. Korean astrology builds a chart from her birth year, month and day, so it reads differently and in more detail.
She is clear spring water in its strongest month, with more water around her, so she takes in other people's moods quickly and fully. Polished Metal under her is the star of training, so that feeling comes out through discipline.
Yes, as a first among equals. Her chart is built around peers, so she leads by looking after the group rather than standing above it, and three members' Metal charts feed her water directly.
A full Korean astrology chart has four pillars: year, month, day and hour. The hour pillar needs an exact birth time, which K-pop idols do not make public, so this reading works from the three pillars a birth date establishes.
