hi everyone, i was called to do a natal reading for nct’s jung jaehyun because i feel like he gets such a bad rep/misunderstood by others very easily, and i have noticed other astrology enthusiasts reacting negatively to his chart as well. his chart is really interesting to me, so i hope you all can enjoy this analysis, and grow to appreciate him if you’re not already! this is a very hefty analysis, so i will bold key points to help you all digest this post.
Keep reading
