Kwon Soonyoung, born 15 June 1996 in Hanam. Here is what his chart says about the tiger on stage and the perfectionist off it.
Hoshi's chart is quiet Water resting on dry summer earth, with tall Wood and open Fire standing next to it in the month, and no Metal anywhere in the three pillars. Almost every element is present, and artistry sits right in the middle.
The Water at the centre is the element of art and ideas, and in his chart it is the main line. That is the choreographer, the performance director, the member who builds routines in his head before anyone else has heard the track. Around it, the Fire in the year and month, with Wood feeding it, gives him the passion everyone sees: two streaks of drive, not one.
The reading's real point is the cost. He is an emotional perfectionist, and the standard he holds himself to is brutal. Of the thirteen, he is one of the members carrying the most self-imposed stress, and he carries most of it out of view. The saving grace is judgement. His chart gives him a sharp instinct for what to say and what to keep to himself, and that sense is a large part of his charm.

READ MY SAJUThe reading does not see him as a performer only. It sees him staying inside the industry and moving toward the business side of it, most likely by building something of his own, and it specifically imagines a label run with Woozi where Hoshi holds the larger share and Woozi handles the creative work.
Whether that particular venture succeeds is left open. What the chart is sure of is the direction: from being the performance, to being the one who decides what the performance is.
Woozi is the other half of this chart. Both have Water at the centre, both are the group's engine, and the reading pairs them for the future as well as the present. The difference is temperature. Hoshi's Water sits next to Fire and stays warm; Woozi's sits in more Water and runs cold.
Jun shares Hoshi's month pillar exactly, so the two were born into the same summer of Wood and Fire. Hoshi spends it outward, on stage. Jun keeps it under the mist.

READ MY SAJUHoshi was born on 15 June 1996. His chart reads 丙子 for the year, 甲午 for the month and 癸未 for the day. His Day Master is 癸 Water, in its inward, yin form.
No. His Western zodiac sign is Gemini, which comes from his birth month alone. Korean astrology builds a chart from his birth year, month and day, so it reads differently and in more detail.
Artistry sits at the centre of his chart, with two streaks of Fire and Wood beside it giving him his drive. Underneath the tiger is a perfectionist who holds himself to a brutal standard and carries more stress than he shows.
His chart is emotional and perfectionist at the same time. The standard he sets for himself is higher than anyone sets for him, and most of the weight of that never shows on camera.
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.
