Jungkook, born Jeon Jung-kook in Busan, is a South Korean singer and a member of the boy band BTS, which debuted in 2013. BTS releases carry his solo songs "Begin" (2016), "Euphoria" (2018) and "My Time" (2020). In 2022 he featured on Charlie Puth's "Left and Right" and performed "Dreamers" at the opening ceremony of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. His first solo single, "Seven" with Latto (2023), debuted at number one on the Hot 100, a first for a Korean solo artist. His album Golden followed in November 2023.
A clock tattoo, then a listening party
The Astro-Databank collector Sy Scholfield cited a 2023 interview in which Jungkook explained his tattoos: "this clock tattoo over here! This shows the time of my birth, I think I was born at around 3:25? 3:23?" (Zoom, February 2, 2023).
In October 2025 a reader, Pachia Lee, wrote to Astro-Databank that it was previously unsure "whether it was 3:23 am or pm. It is actually 3:25 pm, confirmed by Jungkook during one of his Stationhead Listening Party." Astro-Databank rates the time A.
3:23 p.m. still gives Capricorn rising, at 7°03′. Only the a.m. reading changes the chart: Leo would rise, at 6°35′, and the Moon would be in Leo.
| Birth time | Where it came from | Rising sign | Moon |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3:25 p.m. | Pachia Lee, October 2025, confirmed on a Stationhead listening party; rated A | ♑︎ Capricorn 7°32′ | Virgo |
| 3:23 p.m. | his own "3:23?" in the 2023 Zoom interview | ♑︎ Capricorn 7°03′ | Virgo |
| 3:25 a.m. | the a.m. reading that Lee's letter rules out | ♌︎ Leo 6°35′ | Leo |
| Point | Sign at birth | In that sign | Before and after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rising sign | ♑︎ Capricorn | 2:54 p.m. to 4:50 p.m. | Sagittarius before, Aquarius after |

| Moon | ♍︎ Virgo | 1:27 p.m. to midnight | Leo before |
Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us for each time, Busan, South Korea, Korea Standard Time (UTC+9).
A Moon 118 minutes into Virgo
The Moon crossed from Leo into Virgo at 1:27 p.m. on his birthday and leaves for Libra at 2:30 a.m. on September 4. At 0°58′ it is on the first degree of Virgo.
In the tradition a Moon in Virgo is read as feeling that works through detail, routine and usefulness, a quieter note than the Leo Moon it replaced that afternoon. Placidus counts it in the 8th house and Whole Sign in the 9th.

Sun and Mercury, 1°19′ apart
The Sun at 8°51′ and retrograde Mercury at 7°32′ are the closest pair in the chart, 1°19′ from conjunction. Virgo is the sign of analysis and craft in the tradition, and a retrograde Mercury is read as thought that turns inward and revises before it speaks.
Placidus seats all three in the 8th house, tied to shared resources and change; Whole Sign moves them to the 9th, the house of study and distance. Mars at 11°20′ of Scorpio sextiles the Sun, 2°28′ off.

Capricorn on the horizon, Neptune inside the 1st house
Capricorn held the Busan horizon from 2:54 p.m. to 4:50 p.m., and he arrived 31 minutes into it. Capricorn rising suggests a patient first impression. Neptune at 27°33′ stands in the 1st house in both systems, a planet of blur and imagination placed where the first impression forms.
Jupiter at 14°13′ and Uranus at 5°27′, both retrograde in Aquarius, are in the 1st by Placidus and the 2nd by Whole Sign. The midheaven is 27°44′ Libra, and Scorpio took it 8 minutes after the birth. Libra overhead points to a public presence built on balance and taste.

Venus in Libra facing Saturn in Aries
Venus at 17°20′ of Libra opposes retrograde Saturn at 19°35′ of Aries, 2°15′ from exact. Saturn is the traditional ruler of Capricorn, so the planet that rules his ascendant sits at the far end of this opposition: taste and pleasure weighed against limits and patience.
Venus also trines Jupiter, 3°07′ off. Placidus has Venus in the 9th house and Saturn in the 3rd; Whole Sign has them in the 10th and the 4th, which sets public standing against home.

Pluto squares the Moon, 1°57′ from exact
Pluto at 2°56′ of Sagittarius squares the Moon, 1°57′ from exact, and squares the Sun too, 5°56′ off. A square is friction, and Pluto's is read as pressure to rework whatever it touches, here the Virgo group.
Pluto falls in the 11th house of groups under Placidus and the 12th under Whole Sign. It sextiles Uranus, 2°32′ off, a link many people born in 1997 share.
