The dominant planets of Kim Jong-un

When interpreting a natal chart, the best method is to start gradually from general features to specific ones. Thus,
there is usually a plan to be followed, from the overall analysis of the chart and its structure, to the description of its
different character traits.

In the first part, an overall analysis of the chart enables us to figure out the personality's main features and to
emphasize several points that are confirmed or not in the detailed analysis: in any case, those general traits are taken
into account. Human personality is an infinitely intricate entity and describing it is a complex task. Claiming to rapidly
summarize it is illusory, although it does not mean that it is an impossible challenge. It is essential to read a natal chart
several times in order to absorb all its different meanings and to grasp all this complexity. But the exercise is
worthwhile.

In brief, a natal chart is composed of ten planets: two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, three fast-moving or
individual planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, two slow-moving planets, Jupiter and Saturn, and three very slow-moving
planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Additional secondary elements are: the Lunar Nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith,
Chiron and other minor objects. They are all posited on the Zodiac wheel consisting of twelve signs, from Aries to
Pisces, and divided into twelve astrological houses.

The first step is to evaluate the importance of each planet. This is what we call identifying the dominant planets. This
process obeys rules that depend on the astrologer's sensitivity and experience but it also has precise and steady bases:
thus, we can take into account the parameters of a planet's activity (the number of active aspects a planet forms, the
importance of each aspect according to its nature and its exactness), angularity parameters; (proximity to the four
angles, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and Imum Coeli or Nadir, all of them being evaluated numerically,
according to the kind of angle and the planet-angle distance) and quality parameters (rulership, exaltation, exile and
fall). Finally, other criteria such as the rulership of the Ascendant and the Midheaven etc. are important.

These different criteria allow a planet to be highlighted and lead to useful conclusions when interpreting the chart.

The overall chart analysis begins with the observation of three sorts of planetary distributions in the chart: Eastern or
Western hemisphere, Northern or Southern hemisphere, and quadrants (North-eastern, North-western, South-eastern
and South-western). These three distributions give a general tone in terms of introversion and extraversion, willpower,
sociability, and behavioural predispositions.

Then, there are three additional distributions: elements (called triplicity since there are three groups of signs for each
one) - Fire, Air, Earth and Water - corresponding to a character typology, modality (or quadruplicity with four groups of
signs for each one) - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - and polarity (Yin and Yang).

There are three types of dominants: dominant planets, dominant signs and dominant houses. The novice thinks
astrology means only "to be Aries" or sometimes, for example, "to be Aries Ascendant Virgo". It is actually far more
complex. Although the Sun and the Ascendant alone may reveal a large part of the character - approximately a third or
a half of your psychological signature, a person is neither "just the Sun" (called the sign) nor just "the first house" (the
Ascendant). Thus, a particular planet's influence may be significantly increased; a particular sign or house may contain
a group of planets that will bring nuances and sometimes weaken the role of the Ascendant, of the Sun sign etc.

Lastly, there are two other criteria: accentuations (angular, succedent and cadent) which are a classification of
astrological houses and types of decanates that are occupied (each sign is divided into three decanates of ten degrees
each). They provide some additional informations.

These general character traits must not be taken literally; they are, somehow, preparing for the chart reading. They
allow to understand the second part of the analysis, which is more detailed and precise. It focuses on every area of the
personality and provides a synthesis of all the above-mentioned parameters according to sound hierarchical rules.

Warning: when the birth time is unknown, which is the case for Kim Jong-un, a few paragraphs become irrelevant;
distributions in hemispheres and quadrants are meaningless, so are dominant houses and houses' accentuations.
Therefore, some chapters are removed from this part.

For all paragraphs, the criteria for valuation are calculated without taking into account angles and rulerships of the
Ascendant and of the Midheaven. The methodology retains its validity, but it is less precise without a time of birth.

Elements and Modes for Kim Jong-un

The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, Kim Jong-un. Your heart and
your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if you don't feel a strong affective charge (as
a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in your psychology). You need to love in order to understand, and to feel
in order to take action, which causes a certain vulnerability which you should fight against.
Kim Jong-un, Fire is dominant in your natal chart and endows you with intuition, energy, courage, self-confidence, and
enthusiasm! You are inclined to be passionate, you assert your willpower, you move forward, and come hell or high
water, you achieve your dreams and your goals. The relative weakness of this element is the difficulty to step back or a
kind of boldness that may prompt you to do foolish things.

Air is under-represented in your natal chart, with only 7.50% instead of the average 25%. Air symbolizes the values of
communication, exchanges with others, but also adaptability and flexibility abilities: if you don't get out of your cocoon
to talk, to show interest in others, and to socialize, you may have problems understanding others. Because of your lack
of flexibility or of your refusal to adapt yourself, you may be suddenly overwhelmed by events. You should get into the
habit of talking, of phoning, and of thinking in terms of "mobility, flexibility, adaptability, change" in every
circumstance. It will spare you so many troubles!

The twelve zodiacal signs are split up into three groups or modes, called quadruplicities, a learned word meaning only
that these three groups include four signs. The Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable modes are more or less represented in your
natal chart, depending on planets' positions and importance, and on angles in the twelve signs.

The Mutable mode is the most emphasized one in your natal chart, Kim Jong-un, which indicates a mobile character
that is curious and thirsty for new experiences and evolution. You are lively and flexible, and you like to react quickly to
solicitations, but don't confuse mobility with agitation, since this is the danger with this configuration - and with you,
stagnation is out of the question. Security doesn't matter as long as you are not bored. You optimize, you change
things, you change yourself... all this in a speedy way.

Dominants: Planets, Signs and Houses for Kim Jong-un

The issue of dominant planets has existed since the mists of time in astrology: how nice it would be if a person could be
described with a few words and one or several planets that would represent their character, without having to analyse
such elements as rulerships, angularities, houses, etc!

The ten planets - the Sun throughout Pluto - are a bit like ten characters in a role-play, each one has its own
personality, its own way of acting, its own strengths and weaknesses. They actually represent a classification into ten
distinct personalities, and astrologers have always tried to associate one or several dominant planets to a natal chart as
well as dominant signs and houses.

Indeed, it is quite the same situation with signs and houses. If planets symbolize characters, signs represent hues - the
mental, emotional and physical structures of an individual. The sign in which a planet is posited is like a character
whose features are modified according to the place where he lives. In a chart, there are usually one, two or th ree
highlighted signs that allow to rapidly describe its owner.

Regarding astrological houses, the principle is even simpler: the twelve houses correspond to twelve fields of life, and
planets tenanting any given house increase that house's importance and highlight all relevant life departments: it may
be marriage, work, friendship etc.

In your natal chart, Kim Jong-un, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:

The three most important planets in your chart are Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune.

With Pluto as a dominant planet in your chart, you are a magnetic and mighty predator, like the Scorpio sign ruled by
this planet, who needs to exert pressure on others in order to "test" them. You are always ready to evolve, to risk
destruction for reconstruction - including your own - to live more intensely whilst imposing your secret authority on
things and on people you encounter.

You may come across as wicked, cruel or too authoritarian, but actually you only follow your instinct, you sound people
out, and you like to exert your domination simply because your vital energy is too powerful to remain inside. You are
inclined to be passionate, with hidden motivations. You are sometimes misunderstood but one of your great Plutonian
assets is to go successfully through each life ordeal with ever growing strength.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, organization, power and benevolence, is quite emphasized in your chart. Like any
Jupiterian, you are warm, open, sociable, consensual, active and optimistic. You can use your self-confidence to erase
differences of opinion, and you leave the task of analyzing and perfecting things to specialists. Your role, and you know
it since you were young, is to gather, to demonstrate your synthesizing and conciliatory mind, and to naturally reap its
fruits - power.
You appreciate legality, social order but also order in general. With you as a leader, every plan or human entity can be
organized and structured. You excel at supervising. The Jupiterian type is indeed the politician par excellence, and a
positive Jupiter in your chart is synonymous with good integration into society, whatever the chosen path.

Is this idyllic picture really perfect? Certainly not: each planet's typology has its own weaknesses. One of yours is pride,
like the Solarian, but your will of expansion at all costs may generate a form of exaggeration in everything, endless
pleasure, inappropriate self-confidence that could lead you to rough materialism and the thirst for absurd material
comfort - in the worst cases, of course.

With Neptune as one of your three dominant planets, you are a secretive and ambiguous person, often confused or
unclear about your own motivations! Indeed, you are endowed with unlimited imagination and inspiration, as well as
with an extreme sensibility that may turn you into a psychic or a clairvoyant. On the other hand, your impressionability
is such that you may have difficulties in separating what is concrete and solid from illusions or dreams.

A mystic, a visionary or a poet, you daydream, like any Neptunian, and you see what few people only can see, all of
this being shrouded in aesthetic mists when you are fired with enthusiasm.

A boundless, infinity-loving man like you is inevitably likely to be more vulnerable and easily hurt because of your acute
perception of events. In such cases, you are hit full in the face, and you may sink into gloomy daydreamings and dark
melancholy.

That said, this mysterious aura definitely gives you an indefinable charm in the eyes of your close friends who are often
fascinated by your unique ability to feel and to see what ordinary people can never see!

In your natal chart, the three most important signs - according to criteria mentioned above - are in decreasing order of
strength Sagittarius, Capricorn and Scorpio. In general, these signs are important because your Ascendant or your Sun
is located there. But this is not always the case: there may be a cluster of planets, or a planet may be near an angle
other than the Midheaven or Ascendant. It may also be because two or three planets are considered to be very active
because they form numerous aspects from these signs.

Thus, you display some of the three signs' characteristics, a bit like a superposition of features on the rest of your
chart, and it is all the more so if the sign is emphasized.

Sagittarius, an adventurous and conquering fire sign, is dominant in your chart: you are enthusiastic, enterprising,
optimistic, very sociable, and mobile - you have itchy feet, both physically and mentally. Nobody gets bored with you
because you are always planning things and suggesting excursions, at least... when you are around and not already
gone on a trip! Obviously, so many movements for one man may scare people off, and some of them may even criticize
your brutality or your tendency to loose your temper, but you are so warm and genuine, so expansive, isn't this a good
thing? And all the more so, since your sense of humour is overwhelming...

Capricorn is one of your dominant signs and endows you with a grave and serious style that seems to stick to you
constantly. But if you have that reserved and cold side - as some extrovert people may think - on the other hand, you
possess sturdy qualities: you are strong-willed and tough. Your long-term vision, your sense of duty, and your ambition
are not affected by the derisory and erratic motions that seem to upset most mortals less steady than you. Besides,
you are like a good wine, you age well and your natural solemnity or serious side paradoxically turns into an almost
cheerful appearance, as you grow older. You are actually very sensitive when it comes to love. Faithful, caring, sweet,
and sensitive, your behaviour is very different in your everyday, sentimental life. A golden heart beats under your
tough and austere appearance...

With Scorpio as a dominant sign, you are a strong and astute person, complicated and passionate, sometimes
destructive and intolerant, but strong-willed, tough and daring, sometimes bordering on aggressive. So many qualities
and dangers combined in one person! Obviously, this often results in a natural selection of people around you: those
who stand up to you or admire you and those who can't bear you anymore! But that is precisely what you want. You
are what you are and you are not going to transform yourself just to please. You are too proud and you never dread
confrontations, although your way of fighting is secret, like your nature that, mysteriously enough, you are so reluctant
to reveal even to your close friends who will never understand you. That said... what a hellish charm you have!

After this paragraph about dominant planets, of Kim Jong-un, here are the character traits that you must read more
carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific: the texts about dominant planets only give background
information about the personality and remain quite general: they emphasize or, on the contrary, mitigate different
particularities or facets of a personality. A human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to
successfully figure out all the finer points.

The Moon in Pisces: his sensitivity

Your sensitivity is all on edge, Kim Jong-un, and your emotions so deep, your imagination, so lively, that you are often
found in the sweet realm of dreams. You create your own fantastical world with entangled fragments of current reality,
romantic souvenirs and hidden hopes. Your receptiveness is so intense that it may border on mediumship or, more
disturbing and rare, you may have hallucinations. Your character fluctuates according to the stimulation of the moment
but in general, you are a nice person, full of gentleness and romanticism, always ready to understand and to dedicate
yourself. You have real healing powers, would it be only through your ability to instinctively understand other people's
sufferings. Your affective structures can be likened to a roving radar. You are vulnerable, hurt by the slightest
aggression and easily influenced because you are unable to step back from people and events; therefore, you may start
to be doubtful and lose the self-confidence that you so badly need to progress.

Mercury in Capricorn: his intellect and social life

You need to concentrate on a subject, Kim Jong-un, to deepen your research and to follow your reasoning through with
persistence and determination. You are the very type of the thinker who needs time and isolation to meditate at length
and allow his serious, methodical and rigorous mind to show its worth. Your feet are firmly planted on the ground and
to get your attention, ideas must be followed by implementation, for instance as in the case of mathematics applied to
physics. You focus on the essential and you look at the world around you with clear-sightedness. You are not very
talkative and you act with caution. You may come across as cold and ambitious even though your comments are always
sincere and practical. However, be careful not to isolate yourself and to appear as a lofty and intolerant person.

Venus in Sagittarius and the Sun in Capricorn: his affectivity and seductiveness

In your chart, the Sun is in Capricorn and Venus, in Sagittarius. Capricorn structures the couple, idealizes it and
protects it against intruders. It is likely that your affective models prompt you to stand for the image of the couple as
an indissociable unit, a safe investment, the realm of your private secrets. You do not really need words in love. The
relationship is based on an essential closeness that may be biased by any attempt to describe it. However, Venus in
Sagittarius gives an inclination for affective discoveries. As time goes by, the desire may fade away when it is not
fuelled by new stimulations. There lies the ambiguous way in which your affectivity or amorous life works. And its
dangers: whatever you discover under the spur of your desire is integrated, structured, digested, in a way. And the
object of desire flies away or gets locked up in a simplistic pattern. However, it is possible to highlight the
complementarity of these two modes, antinomical in their principle. Venus in Sagittarius undertakes to fuel the desire
that the Sun in Capricorn organizes into an enduring one. In order to experience this configuration constructively, it is
important that you fully respect the rigour of your concepts (a rigour that Venus finds austere). You must also quench
your thirst for experiences, without which you may shut yourself away in a secret melancholy. Do not cut your desire
off inside an ivory tower.

On the affective plane, Kim Jong-un, you are open, straightforward, spontaneous and you make friends easily because
your enthusiasm is expressed jovially, directly and is respectful of well-established moral values. In some cases, you
may be opposed to your natal environment or to your family because of your taste for freedom, exoticism or all forms
of independence and emancipation. Your feelings are burning and you often get carried away quickly. However, your
ability to make friends easily is likely to favour some instability; in order words, faithfulness is not your top priority as
long as you have not yet found your soul mate. Ideally, for you, life together must have some degree of mobility and
include travels and fresh air. Within your relationship, you need to feel freedom and independence, which you need
since your childhood. Under such conditions, harmony and faithfulness can be achieved.

The Sun in Capricorn: his will and inner motivations

Psychologically speaking, your nature is introverted and cold, totally controlled and phlegmatic, at least regarding the
image you project invariably. You seem unemotional and austere. Actually, due to your secondarity, you chew over
your strategies or your reactions required by your environment. You are slow but very thoughtful, solid and balanced.
You are as curt as you are cold and you put the entire strength of your character at the service of your huge and long-
term ambition or of your detachment from earthly riches and you focus on spiritual values.

Like all the persons born under an apparently reserved and tough sign, your inner personality is often charming and
gentle, as if the thick armour, forged throughout childhood, had entirely preserved the purity and the warmth of the
soul imprisoned within.

As you are born under this sign, you are serious, cold, disciplined, patient, focused, thoughtful, ambitious, indomitable,
cautious, lucid, persistent, provident, steady, introverted, stern, wilful, hard-working, responsible, persevering, honest,
realistic, loyal, reserved, resolute, moralistic, quiet, rigorous, attached and reliable. But you may also be curt,
withdrawn, calculating, petty, cruel, unpleasant, ruthless, selfish, dull, rigid, slow or sceptical.

Sir, in love, you may feel less interested than the other Zodiacal signs because you repress your feelings and you
practice so much self-control. You want to keep situations under full control, in all circumstances, although love is the
only area where progress requires a laid-back attitude, where it is necessary to give in order to receive, all things which
are difficult for you.

Therefore, you are alone for a long part of your life until you meet with the love of your life, to whom you will be
faithful and attached, beyond reproach. Capricorn has very few but intense and lasting love affairs.

Daily life within your couple is responsible and serious. It may not be too bubbling, but your feelings sustainability and
solidity make for your lack of spontaneity and extravagance. You may not be very available, as all your time is taken up
by your work and the pursuit of success. You are very keen to marry a person who can share your professional
interests, which does not lessen the quality of your attachment at all.

Your home is sound, with an atmosphere of seriousness. The effort-oriented education, which you give your children, is
respectful of the best traditions.
Mars in Libra: his ability to take action

No one can say that you are particularly aggressive, Kim Jong-un! Actually, it takes a great deal for you to become able
to express your anger because you belong to the wavering type and you are not prone to risk-taking; you loathe
violence and you would rather not intervene than start a conflict. Moderation and the happy medium in all things are
your favourites. One of the only areas that makes you wage war is injustice, whether you are the one who is stricken or
whether it is someone who is helpless. In this particular field, as in that of sexuality, you are not impulsive and you
appreciate it very much when your partner shows the way, preferably with much serenity and gentleness. Actually, the
form and characteristics of your sexuality depend on the rest of your personality.

Conclusion

This text is only an excerpt from of Kim Jong-un's portrait. We hope that it will arouse your curiosity, and that it will
prompt you to deepen your knowledge of astrology, as well as to visit and use the wide range of free applications

Astrological studies describe many of the character traits and they sometimes go deeper into the understanding of a
personality. Please, always keep in mind that human beings are continuously evolving and that many parts of our
psychological structures are likely to be expressed later, after having undergone significant life's experiences. It is
advised to read a portrait with hindsight in order to appreciate its astrological content. Under this condition, you will be
able to take full advantage of this type of study.

The analysis of an astrological portrait consists in understanding four types of elements which interact with one
another: ten planets, twelve zodiacal signs, twelve houses, and what are called aspects between planets (the 11
aspects most commonly used are: conjunction, opposition, square, trine, sextile, quincunx, semi-sextile, sesqui-
quadrate, quintile and bi-quintile. The first 5 aspects enumerated are called major aspects).

Planets represent typologies of our human psychology: sensitivity, affectivity, ability to undertake, will-power, mental
process, aptitude, and taste for communication etc., all independent character facets are divided here for practical
reasons. The twelve signs forming the space where planets move will "colour", so to speak, these typologies with each
planet being located in its particular sign. They will then enrich the quality of these typologies, as expressed by the
planets. The Zodiac is also divided into twelve astrological houses. This makes sense only if the birth time is known
because within a few minutes, the twelve houses (including the 1st one, the Ascendant) change significantly. They
correspond to twelve specific spheres of life: external behaviour, material, social and family life, relationship, home,
love life, daily work, partnership, etc. Each planet located in any given house will then act according to the meaning of
its house, and a second colouration again enriches those active forces that the planets symbolize. Finally, relations will
settle among planets, creating a third structure, which completes the planets' basic meanings. A set of ancient rules,
which has stood the test of experience over hundreds of years (although astrology is in evolution, only reliable
elements are integrated into classical studies), are applied to organize the whole chart into a hierarchy and to allow
your personality to be interpreted by texts. The planets usually analysed are the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, which means two luminaries (the Sun and the Moon) and 8 planets, a total
of 10 planets. Additional secondary elements may be taken into account, such as asteroids Chiron, Vesta, Pallas, Ceres
(especially Chiron, more well-known), the Lunar nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith, and even other bodies: astrology is a
discipline on the move. Astrological studies, including astrological portrait, compatibility of couples, predictive work, and
horoscopes evolve and become more accurate or deeper, as time goes by.

Precision: concerning the horoscopes with a known time of birth, according to the Tradition, we consider that a planet
near the beginning (called cuspide) of the next house (less than 2 degrees for the Ascendant and the Midheaven, and
less than 1 degree for all other houses) belongs to this house: our texts and dominants take this rule into account. You
can also choose not to take this shift into account in the form, and also tick the option Koch or Equal houses system
instead of Placidus, the default houses system.

Warning: In order to avoid any confusion and any possible controversy, we want to draw your attention upon the fact
that this sample of celebrities is very complete and therefore, it also includes undesirable people, since every category
is represented: beside artists, musicians, politicians, lawyers, professional soldiers, poets, writers, singers, explorers,
scientists, academics, religious figures, saints, philosophers, sages, astrologers, mediums, sportsmen, chess
champions, famous victims, historical characters, members of royal families, models, painters, sculptors, and comics
authors or other actual celebrities, there are also famous murderers, tyrants and dictators, serial-killers, or other
characters whose image is very negative, often rightly so.

Regarding the latter, it must be remembered that even a monster or at least a person who perpetrated odious crimes,
has some human qualities, often noticed by his/her close entourage: these excerpts come from computer programmes
devoid of polemical intentions and may seem too soft or lenient. The positive side of each personality is deliberately
stressed. Negative sides have been erased here - it is not the same in our comprehensive reports on sale - because it
could hurt the families of such people. We are hoping that it will not rebound on the victims' side.

Numerology: Birth Path of Kim Jong-un

Testimonies to numerology are found in the most ancient civilizations and show that numerology pre-dates astrology.
This discipline considers the name, the surname, and the date of birth, and ascribes a meaning to alphabetic letters
according to the numbers which symbolise them.

The path of life, based on the date of birth, provides indications on the kind of destiny which one is meant to
experience. It is one of the elements that must reckoned with, along with the expression number, the active number,
the intimacy number, the achievement number, the hereditary number, the dominant numbers or the lacking numbers,
or also the area of expression, etc.

Your Birth Path:

Your Life Path is influenced by the number 4, , and your destiny implies sustained efforts, long-drawn-out works, and
concrete achievements. The path may seem a bit tedious, but it is very promising, provided that you demonstrate some
tenacity, loyalty, and patience. You are often invited to display orderly and methodical qualities, and step-by-step, you
go through all the stages which may lead you to success, if you do not let hurdles dishearten you throughout your life.
Persistence is among your major qualities. You see life as a challenge, and, far from falling into the trap of picking the
easy way out, you face problems with calm and lucidity, and you choose the work and steady effort which open the
door to success, although evolution requires quite a long time. Your personal path is based on continuous efforts and on
maintaining the same immutable direction.

Kim Jong-un was born under the sign of the Pig, element Water

Chinese astrology is brought to us as a legacy of age-old wisdom and invites us to develop an awareness of our inner
potential. It is believed that the wise man is not subjected to stellar influences. However, we must gain the lucidity and
the distance without which we remain locked up in an implacable destiny. According to the legend of the Circle of
Animals, Buddha summoned all the animals to bid them farewell before he left our world. Only twelve species answered
Buddha's call. They form the Chinese Zodiac and symbolize the twelve paths of wisdom that are still valid nowadays.

The Asian wise man considers that a path is neither good nor bad. One can and must develop one's potentialities. The
first step is to thoroughly know oneself.

You are a reliable and helpful person, honest through and through. Intellectual independence is an essential virtue:
each and everyone must take one's responsibilities and accept the consequences of one's faults.

You avoid underhand manoeuvres and scheming like the plague! Your unfailing sincerity commands your entourage's
consideration. You fight shams and all forms of hypocrisy.

In addition, you take your responsibilities when you have to, you make your choices and you confront facts with
courage. You are capable of displaying an unwavering determination, no obstacle can stop you as you try to overcome
pitfalls, one after the other. However, you do not like gratuitous struggles nor meaningless trials of strength: you are of
a sociable nature and you avoid hurting your entourage as much as you can.

However, your kindness can never conceal your true feelings. In China, it is believed that the native of the Pig is a
sensual and voluptuous person, more attached than other people to life's carnal aspects. A quality that spouses and
partners will appreciate, unless they are shocked by this undeniable inclination for lust! You are credited with the merit
of being unable to conceal your true nature, in all areas.

Chinese astrology has five elements, which are referred to as agents: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

You have a deep affinity with the agent Water. In China, this element corresponds to the planet Mercury, the black
colour and the number 6.

You are particularly sensitive to your surroundings, the atmosphere of a place and the climate of a meeting. Your high
receptivity allows you to perceive naturally the stakes underlying people and situations.

You are reserved by nature, you favour emotions and inner life, leaving challenges and audacity to other people. You
frequently maintain a certain distance and you share your true feelings with few intimate friends only. It is probably
because you know that genuine communication is a difficult exercise.

Everything in your realm is sheer subtlety and nuance. The danger is that you may escape realities and indulge in
indolence without fulfilling your responsibilities. This is the other side of the coin of your extraordinary sensitivity and
your exceptional clear-sightedness.

You feel in tune with few people. However, this selectivity forges relationships that are long-lasting because they are
natural and genuine.

N. B.: when the birth time is unknown, (12:00 PM (unknown)), these portrait excerpts do not take into account the parameters
derived from the time, which means, the domification (Ascendant, astrological houses, etc.). Nonetheless, these analyses remain
accurate in any case. Regarding the sources of the birth data in our possession, kindly note that the pages we publish constitute
a starting point for more detailed research, even though they seem useful to us. When the sources are contradictory, which
occurs rarely, after having analysed them, we choose the most reliable one. Sometimes, we publish a birth date just because it
is made available, but we do not claim that is it the best one, by no means.

Can North Korea's "Dear Leader" dodge calamity in 2014?

By Victor Olliver
The news from North Korea is unremittingly gruesome if not grotesque. Early hopes that young Kim Jong-

un (declared Supreme Leader on 29 December 2011 after the death of his father Kim Jong-il) might be a

civilising influence have proven wishful to say the least. The very recent executions of his uncle and seven
others by firing squad, and dire threats of war, suggest a leadership bent on aggression and confrontation.

What does astrology tell us of Kim Jong-un? Is there hope yet for a nation stuck in what seems to Western

eyes like a feudalistic nightmare? His birth chart and 2014 transits make fascinating studies in unrestricted
power and potential folly - though the news is not all necessarily grim.

But when was Kim Jong-un born?

Casting Kim Jong-un's horoscope presents a challenge because though we know he's a Capricorn, born 8

January, we cannot be certain of his birth year. Until recently North Korea gave it as 1983. Then the nation

gifted him an extra year of maturity, making it 1982, perhaps embarrassed by his relative youth on the
world stage. His father's ex-sushi chef supports 1983 as birth year.

But perhaps the "Dear Leader"'s doting late opera singer mother, Ko Yong-hui, gave the game away when

she described her son as the "Morning Star King". This must refer to planet Venus (nicknamed

Phosphoros, "bringer of light", by the Ancient Greeks) which at times can be seen at dawn. For 8 January

(among the candidate years for his nativity, '82-'84) it was visible before sunrise only in 1984,
approximately around 7:00. And he's not just the Morning Star King. His birthday is shared with the "King",

Elvis Presley. We can only assume Kim Jong-un's birthplace is Pyongyang.

If correct, this makes the Supreme Leader a formidable double Capricorn (Sun and ascendant) along with
a Capricorn leadership chart - highly ambitious; power-driven and jealous of his growing national authority;
formidably strategic; materialistic; darkly humorous, dutiful if not rule-bound, clever and "old" before his

time (his unexpected assumption of hereditary absolute power in his 20s being one spectacular example).

And with Saturn (Capricorn ruler) in Scorpio in the traditional house of Capricorn (conjunct Pluto/Libra

Mars, in the Placidus chart) it's fair to say that Kim Jong-un appears "fated" to rule - troubling features in a
leader of a volatile state in a cramped world of enemy democracies.

The Dear Leader's basic character traits

Perhaps we can take some comfort that Capricorn is not traditionally a sign given to impulse but usually to

pre-meditation. Much of what passes for blood-curdling threat from North Korea is probably calibrated
posturing - a tactic not without effect.

I don't propose to go through Kim Jong-un's chart in great detail but certain key features are worth

highlighting. Mercury bang on his ascendant usually indicates advanced language and literary skills (he

speaks English among other tongues) and/or a bent for mathematics (he earned at least one physics

degree). Mercury here will tend to make him more image-conscious (he's already succumbed to the

cosmetic surgeon's knife), more multi-culturally engaged, more media-savvy, than might be expected. He
is thought to have been educated in Switzerland.

If he serves his full life-term, it's entirely possible he will come to interact with the outside world more
constructively than his forebears. That's a big "if" however.

Pronounced artistic or even spiritual interests subsist in his chart as potential, with Neptune close to

Mercury (in Pisces' natural home) and ascendant; and with highly sensitising Moon in Pisces. It wouldn't
surprise me if in later life - should he be fortunate - he writes a great deal about himself.

The very negative side of these placements is the risk of delusional or fantastical thinking and volatile

hyper-sensitivity. It can only be hoped that with all the pronounced Saturnian pragmatism in his chart, logic
will eventually triumph over megalomania or paranoia.

That he is extremely self-willed cannot be doubted with all principal planets in his eastern chart

hemisphere, with Moon square Uranus/Venus and (very worryingly this) with Mars conjunct Pluto in 10th

house Scorpio square Sun. There will be huge, physical zest for life. But a ferocious, even violent or

homicidal temper may be roused by frustration or obstacles - if Kim Jong-un were my client I would advise

him to take up a sport or transcendental or other spiritual practice to redirect some of that pent-up energy.
Even a privileged Supreme Leader can feel impeded or restricted on a lifetime diet of entitlement.

Yet primal instincts - such as instinctive rage - should be generally reined under Moon trine Saturn. A form
of sound reasoning may even drive him albeit barbarically.

Worth mentioning is his Moon's positive relationship to his power planets (Mars, Saturn [also representing

father] and Pluto in the 10th): this supports the claim that his mother (as well as an aunt) played a big part

in his surprise appointment as heir apparent against older siblings. With Saturn close to Part of Fortune in

Scorpio sextile Sun, a pronounced affinity with the father will have been present. The father will have

admired Kim's self-discipline, natal "hardness" and focus as attributes of luck - it is believed that his father
warmed to and recognised him as a hardy kindred spirit.

A man "coddled in power"

The birth chart essentially comprises two stellia in neighbouring Scorpio and Sagittarius, with Sun dangling

a little away in the me-me-me 1st House. A curious feature of Kim Jong-un's chart is its lack of overall life

balance - eight of the 10 principal planets are bundled in just the 10th-12th houses. This snapshots a fate

coddled in power. That part of him that seeks new ways of doing things, through education or communion

with the outer world (Sagittarius), is cloaked in the chart sector of secrets. A metaphorical veil places him

in a timeless purdah of global voyeurism or vicariousness. He may conceal much of what he admires of
Western culture, for instance.

A little-understood chart feature known as the yod (or "finger of god"), involving most of his stars in an

inconjunct to 5th house Chiron, describes a life of tremendous restriction and early conformism. A rich

fantasy life may act as a counter-balancing substitute. Life never feels "right" until the individual has come

to terms with matters that cannot be altered or reconciled. Chiron in Taurus alerts to health problems and a

need to take especial care of the body: it's known Kim Jong-un is diabetic and prone to weight gain,

bingeing and heavy drinking. Seeking comfort in luxuries and novelties should be avoided - a big ask when
you're Supreme Leader, I suppose. Who can say No to him?

2014 transits and Kim Jong-un's first Saturn Return

When he took control of North Korea in December 2011, his chart ruler (transiting) Saturn was on the

same degree as his birth Mars conjunct Pluto in the 10th: not a time of personal joy for him but certainly of

fateful regeneration through state power in the house of public status. As leadership debut point in his
radix chart, violence and power-seeking subsist as potential major themes of his rule.

His succession marked the end of an old order - though years may elapse before complete realisation. In

late 2013 his first Saturn Return commenced, for most people (aged around 29-30) this marks a growing-

up time when marriage, job change or parenting beckons. For Kim Jong-un, the Return phase is a marker

of power consolidation in a militaristic state as his confidence soars and he breaks with old influences -

hence the ruthless removal of advisers, his uncle and others who might be a perceived threat to his
leadership. The planets support an interpretation of accompanying violence.

The execution of his uncle Jang Song-thaek on 12 December, 2013, corresponded to tr Mars right at the

top of Kim Jong-un's birth chart square birth ascendant, a traditional aspect of aggression expressed either

by or towards the native. To a client who does not run a totalitarian state, an astrologer might offer the

sage advice: "Tread very cautiously lest you attract to yourself the violence you deal in." This is also an

aspect of recklessness or impatience. Unfortunately, Mars stays in Libra till July 2014 thanks to a

retrograde, so it's reasonable to expect further state brutality based on precedent. Libra, among other
things, directs energies towards colleagues, companions and others within his immediate circle.

Other indicators are also depressing. Just 96 hours after his progressed Moon entered war-like Aries on 8

February, 2013, North Korea conducted its first nuclear test under his rule. Given that the progressed

Moon stays in this sign throughout 2014, not exiting till August 2015, we can expect further exhibitions of
unpredictable bellicosity and aggression, especially with Uranus slowly transiting Aries (to 2018/19).
Allied to this last point is tr Jupiter retrograde (in the 7th house, associated with partners and "open

enemies") opposite Sun as 2014 starts, which often corresponds with exaggerated or melodramatic
responses: blind behaviour rooted in unrealistic self-estimation can prove disastrous.

May 2014 is a time to watch as Jupiter repeats this opposition while progressed Moon remains in Aries.

July, too, I think could be a very dangerous time for Kim Jong-un as Jupiter squares Mars then Pluto:

fanatically-held beliefs are part of the problem here. If there's a good side to this it lies in any attempt to

heal rifts (for example, with the outside world). Jupiter can pour balm, if he wishes this. September (Jupiter

square Saturn) could be a time of immense frustration for him as limits are placed on what he'd like to do:
patience will be thin. Yet without it he stands to lose, nationally or overseas.

From October onwards, if he survives the above, potentially he could be in more diplomatic or conciliatory

mood as progressed Venus starts a conjunction with birth Sun. Personally, he may feel a little less

confrontational. Perhaps he is starting to realise that charm can win friends - that at least is one

interpretation. This could also denote yet another image makeover. However, his birth Sun square
Mars/Pluto makes him a particularly tricky and dangerous subject to "read".

In summary, 2014 will be a very difficult and dangerous year for the Dear Leader as he struggles to

accommodate his huge hopes and expectations in smaller boxes. The potential for personal calamity is

real but it would be a rare double Capricorn who does not allow pragmatism to be his ultimate guide. It has
to be for survival.

If he plays his cards right (and there are no guarantees), July/August 2015 (Jupiter trine Jupiter) could
signal happier, more productive times. But don't hold your breath.
