why does aniplex want mahoyo to fail

I love visual novels. being a long time fate/stay night fan and only having heard of mahoyo from hushed whispers about its cinematography, I was super invested when it was announced to be coming to the west and I could finally play an official version of it.

however, a lot of people interested in type-moon works had never heard of mahoyo, let alone it getting an official english translation. but how? aniplex is publishing the game and they're one of the largest anime distributors in the world.

with the console release of mahoyo being almost exactly a year ago and the steam release being just 10 days away, I want to look over some of aniplex USA's bizarre and nonexistent marketing for one of my favorite visual novels.

let's clear up a few things, first.

mahoyo is the shortened form of mahoutsukai no yoru (not to be confused with mahoutsukai no yome, i.e. the ancient magus bride), which has been localized as witch on the holy night. mahoyo was a linear non-eroge visual novel released by type-moon in 2012, being one of the first scripts kinoko nasu (co-founder of type-moon) wrote back in 1996 and adapted into a VN many, many years later.

in April of 2022, a console remaster (switch, playstation 4) was announced with HD assets and voice acting, to be published by aniplex. notably, this console release would contain an english translation and was later confirmed in June to be sold in the west via online retailers. this was huge news, as this meant mahoyo would be the first type-moon visual novel (not including gameplay-oriented titles like fate/extella or fate/grand order) to be officially released in the west, as despite numerous fan translations, their more recognizable visual novels tsukihime and fate/stay night still had not received a localization.

type-moon is the developer behind mahoyo and aniplex is the publisher, meaning that type-moon made the game and aniplex is in charge of distributing (and marketing) the game worldwide.

timeline:

April 11 2022: Mahoyo rerelease announced for consoles (Switch & PlayStation 4), including English translation

July 4 2022: Aniplex confirms Mahoyo will be available to the West, localized under the name Witch on the Holy Night

October 14 2022: 2nd trailer released, more voice actor info announced

November 3 2022: physical pre-orders launched, demo version available

November 18 2022: Aniplex attends Anime NYC with Mahoyo

December 7 2022: Mahoyo released digitally on Switch / PlayStation 4 (Dec 8th in Japan, Dec 7th in America)

December 12 2022: Mahoyo reaches 110k units sold worldwide

January 27 2023: Mahoyo physicals release

July 5 2023: Mahoyo reaches 150k units sold worldwide

September 10 2023: Mahoyo announced for Steam via a now unlisted Aniplex livestream

December 13 2023: Mahoyo will be released on Steam (Dec 14th in Japan, Dec 13th in America)

some of the dates might be a little fuzzy, especially the release dates, as some sources go by japanese time and some go by american timezones, so just be aware of that.

now, let's talk a bit about mahoyo itself.

mahoyo is a masterpiece. it's a niche game not meant for everyone. its cinematography is top notch among visual novels. its writing style can be off-putting to people who want faster-paced stories. it's one of my most beloved visual novels I've ever played, and I've been in this field for almost a decade and have played well over 100 VNs.

mahoyo is a completely linear visual novel—meaning it has no choices or gameplay—that follows aoko, a high schooler mage trying to balance her perfect school president facade with her secret life as a mage, something she has to keep secret at the risk of death. this is one of the lesser known type-moon works but it's well beloved because of the care put into it.

if you've ever heard someone talk about it, it's almost impossible for them to not mention the visuals. mahoyo is one of the most visually impressive visual novels I've ever seen, with its inspired use of artwork and in-game animations. I cannot recommend this VN enough if you like modern fantasy and don't mind linear VNs.

before we dive into aniplex USA's marketing, I want to clarify a few marketing terms for people who don't market visual novels as a job. marketing is not just advertising—it's everything related to how a product communicates with potential users, including its branding, its packaging, its everything. when marketing a game, you have several different avenues: social media, press & influencers, trailers, store pages, and more.

today I want to show you how, based off what I have researched after a long, manic day, aniplex USA has failed mahoyo on all of these accounts.

so let's go back to its western release.

mahoyo has a few official english channels:

website

twitter

facebook

aniplex also has an official english twitter with almost 500k followers where they shared mahoyo very rarely—only 9 tweets about the game ever.

well, surely their other pages are more maintained right—

both accounts stopped posting July 10th/11th, with their last post being about mahoyo going on sale on consoles. let's look at their posts prior to this, though, starting with the twitter.

we can see that the twitter account was made in december of 2022. if we scroll down far enough (it's not hard, given they only have 33 tweets), we can see that their first tweet was on december 6th 2022:

let's go back to our timeline. can you tell me when mahoyo's remaster released digitally?

yes they made both of the english mahoyo social media accounts the day before the game launched

we can very easily add up the entire social media posts for the game thus far:

mahoyo english twitter - 30 tweets and 3 retweets

mahoyo english facebook - 27 posts

aniplex english twitter - 9 tweets

aniplex english facebook - 2 posts

no other english social media accounts were tied to the website, so these are the only ones I looked at. this means in total, there were only 68 social media posts for the console release of mahoyo by the publisher for english audiences.

but what about the steam release? after the game sold over 150k+ units on consoles, surely aniplex was ready to market it a bit more for pc users—

neither account has made a post about the upcoming steam release.

if we look at the twitter, they have 3 tweets since July that do talk about the upcoming steam release- however, these are retweets from the japanese mahoyo account.

we know that this twitter and this facebook account are the official social media for mahoyo as they're linked on the website, so they're definitely meant to be followed for game updates in the west. well, maybe the english aniplex twitter has posted about it—

none of the english aniplex or mahoyo accounts have made a single post about the steam release

that's right, the social media posts I counted above are the only posts for mahoyo on their english accounts, all dating back before the steam release was announced. since then, they have not made a single original post even mentioning the steam release.

meanwhile, the japanese mahoyo twitter has been hustling hard to promote the upcoming steam release—reposting trailers, character bios, and more almost every day with pretty good numbers.

in fact, the japanese mahoyo twitter did such a good job at marketing it that the aniplex USA twitter never mentioned the english mahoyo twiter, instead only @ ing the japanese one in tweets (despite the english one being linked on the website).

why they even bothered making social media accounts and then not running them despite being one of the largest anime distributors in the world I have no clue.

well, maybe they didn't need to rely on social media presence. maybe they were going for the in-person approach and marketing it at conventions.

mahoyo had basically no anime convention presence

the only reference I can find to aniplex notably promoting mahoyo at any western convention is this tweet of them at anime NYC. from someone who was at anime NYC, I've been told that they pushed the game heavily at their booth with TV screens promoting the game.

however, anime NYC is only one anime convention. you cannot hope to sell a game by just attending one anime convention. mahoyo might have had a presence at other american conventions, but I'm unable to find any images or news about this.

maybe they don't understand type-moon

aniplex is the publisher for fate/grand order, one of the most successful mobile games ever created. they're also the distributor for a majority of type-moon related anime, ranging from fate to garden of sinners to side series. aniplex's marketing team should have lots of experience with type-moon properties.

maybe it was promoted in other aniplex titles

I was also unable to find a news post in fate/grand order related to mahoyo's release, despite news posts for other type-moon series (namely fate but also things like melty blood) getting news posts in fate/grand order. I might've missed the news posts when looking back through FGO but I don't believe there was one.

maybe it sold well in other regions but not western ones

(I'm going to be referring only to the console release for these stats, keep in mind)

mahoyo released December 7th/8th 2022 with an english, japanese, simplified chinese, and traditional chinese translations. at the end of the release week, mahoyo's japanese twitter announced the game had sold 110k copies worldwide and famitsu reported that 66,344 of these units were sold in japan. this means we have around 43k units unaccounted for.

we know the game was available in english, japanese, and chinese languages but we don't know what regions. mainland china has a very large visual novel playerbase (I say this as someone who sells visual novels), which means if it were sold there then it's easy to say that a big chunk of that 43k units could be attributed to them—this also means it would be easy to believe that aniplex saw mahoyo selling worse in western countries and took this as a sign to not promote the game any more there.

but was it ever sold in mainland china? from what I could tell—no.

looking at pricing charts for the nintendo eshop and the playstation store, china is not listed on either. furthermore, searching the game's chinese title on the chinese playstation store does not bring back any results. it looks like the only predominantly chinese-speaking regions that were able to buy it are hong kong, taiwan and possibly singapore (the playstation store page for it doesn't look like it's available for purchase anymore).

so what does this tell us?

without any other numbers it's hard to tell how many of the 43k launch week sales came from english-speaking players, but even if we conservatively say that only around 20k of the 110k launch week units were from western countries, that's still almost a million in revenue (and remember, the physical limited edition of the game was available in english for $60, which is $20 more than the digital base version).

maybe the store page is so good they don't need to market it

here's a little secret: store pages matter a lot more than you'd think. there are entire job positions dedicated to tailoring store pages (like a steam game page) to make it perfect for the game's target audience. there's a science to it that includes the artwork, descriptions, tags, screenshots, and more.

let's see what aniplex did for the steam page of mahoyo.

A tale told with vivid colors and rich sound in a classic TYPE-MOON visual novel.

I don't know how to describe this short description charitably other than to say it sounds like a person who's never heard of a visual novel has been tasked with describing a visual novel.

this tells me nothing about the game other than it's a visual novel. I hope you know what type-moon is, because if you don't then you've learned nothing else from this. alright, well, let's look at the screenshots—

there's only 1.

currently as of writing this, there's 10 images uploaded as screenshots (no trailers, they keep adding and removing the trailers for some reason). 9 of these images are just the full artworks from the game while 1 is an actual screenshot.

I really hate this, as you're not actually shown what the game looks like unless you look at the very last screenshot. this will absolutely lead to some people not understanding what they're getting into. what's worse is that some of these CGs are spoilers, especially one in particular featuring my wife touko.

why are we spoiling people instead of showing them screenshots? why not show people what mahoyo actually looks like??

there's also absolutely no use of the announcements section on steam. each game on steam can post announcements related to the game, including upcoming releases, new updates, and more. it's customary to post a steam announcement when a game has a release date announcement. mahoyo's steam page has none.

well they probably released the trailers in english for hype

I wish I had that much hope.

on mahoyo's english website, all of the videos listed are from the official type-moon youtube, which is their japanese channel. type-moon went through the effort to translate these videos. aniplex didn't upload these to their own youtube, where they already upload everything related to the fateverse and nasuverse.

searching up witch on the holy night brings up no results for the trailer—aniplex never uploaded the trailer to their channel.

maybe they got influencers to play it

according to steamdb, the max amount of viewers mahoyo streams have had on twitch was 71 viewers.

furthermore, if we check twitch and look for vods attached to mahoyo, we only find 4 videos total, all of which were posted in the past week. it looks like they didn't even reach out to streamers to play the console release, much less pay them.

over on the press side, it does look like they reached out to at least a few reviewers. for example, on the review by noisy pixel, they clarify that a review copy was provided by the publisher for review purposes. we can add that to the bare minimum of marketing—reaching out to press.

however, they did get for some other influencers to share the game! ...twitter game sale influencers, that is.

there's actually a lot more of these types of tweets for mahoyo than I was expecting when I searched it on twitter. as a friend pointed out, just because it says "#ad" doesn't necessarily mean these were paid for by aniplex—a lot of these links look to be referrals, which means they're getting a cut of any purchases.

let's recap

mahoyo released over 110k copies in the launch week for it's worldwide console release despite very, very limited marketing efforts from its publisher aniplex. now that the game has proven it can sell very well despite being a lesser known linear visual novel, aniplex has done no marketing for the steam release- no tweets, no influencer outreach, no localization of trailers, no announcements via steam, nothing.

so why?

why does aniplex want mahoyo to fail?

even after all of this, I still do not know why. to me, it's clear that the marketing team at aniplex were (most likely) given no budget for this game and just couldn't do anything with it, deciding to spend what little money they had on press outreach and an anime NYC booth.

but why? why didn't aniplex give them a budget, even a small one? why was their budget so tiny they couldn't even afford to tweet? to RT more posts from the japanese twitter? to share the already translated trailers to their own accounts?

I've heard a few excuses like "type-moon hates western fans and probably caused it" but this doesn't make any sense either. why would you authorize a translation of your game and allow your publisher to sell the game overseas but specifically make them not market the game (and what publisher would agree to that)? I've even heard excuses like "they just forgot it was coming out", to which I ask "how does an entire marketing team (a company the size of aniplex absolutely has a team(s) for marketing and not a singular person) forget a release for a game that's already sold over 150k copies?". the only excuse I've seen that I somewhat buy is that they did not have much faith in the game and relied almost entirely on fans doing word of mouth marketing for the game.

I don't think we'll ever get an answer. while I do believe the marketing team at aniplex was most likely given no budget for mahoyo, it still begs the question of why. why did someone at aniplex not want to give mahoyo a marketing budget? why are the japanese accounts for mahoyo and type-moon the only ones doing the marketing?

I hope the information I've provided here is accurate—if it's not, I'll try to update with corrections. I don't want this piece to cast hate towards the staff at aniplex or anyone involved with this projects, I'm just trying to assemble the pieces on what feels like a game being left to word of mouth. I've tried to include as many links to my sources as I could so you could come to your own judgements about what has happened regarding mahoyo's worldwide release.

mahoyo is a visual novel that's dear to me and will absolutely sell well on steam—with an estimated 50-80k wishlists, it's going to have a solid launch despite the zero marketing for its steam release. if you love other type-moon works or want to see an absolutely visually stunning visual novel, please check it out.

KIM JAEMIN was born on january 17th, 1994 to parents who were less than interested in raising him. they would have rather continued advancing in their careers than raise a child but they were strongly against abortion or putting him up for adoption so they were “stuck” with him.

he’s been fighting for attention from others his whole life really. he joined clubs, tried his hardest to get good grades in order to impress his parents, nothing worked. maybe that was why he started training, perhaps if he got big and famous enough that he would be able to finally gain his parents attention.

he began training at 13 years old. and would train at that same company until GODS took place in 2014, ranking 5th and becoming the main dancer and rapper of ZELOS.

STAGE NAME: jaemin.

BIRTH NAME: kim jaemin.

BIRTHDAY: january 17th, 1994.

ZODIAC SIGN: capricorn.

NATIONALITY: south korean.

HEIGHT: 182 cm.

POSITIONS: main dancer, rapper.

FACE CLAIM: kim jongin (exo).

HWANG JUHO was born on july 27th, 1994 to a single mother who did her best to raise him. she worked three jobs to be able to support the two of them, and as soon as juho was old enough he started working small jobs to help out with the bills and other stuff too.

when his jobs started slowing on the cash flow, and his mother got older, he decided he needed a whicker way to get money. he started training in 2012, despite being one of the oldest trainees at the company at the time.

it was this work ethic that would help juho survive GODS, and eventually become the leader. juho would place 2nd in GODS and become the leader and main rapper of ZELOS.

STAGE NAME: juho.

BIRTH NAME: hwang juho.

BIRTHDAY: july 27th, 1994.

ZODIAC SIGN: leo.

NATIONALITY: south korean.

HEIGHT: 179 cm.

POSITIONS: leader, main rapper.

PARK SAEBOM was born on april 16th, 1995 to very musically inclined parents, so it was no surprise that they would want the same for their son. he was put into acting and modeling very early on as a child, and eventually made his first debut in child group POP!

saebom would be in POP! until he graduated in 2008, he would then be put into the older group CRUSH! where he would participate until he turned 18 in 2013, participating in GODS a year later.

GODS would prove to be especially difficult for saebom because he had trouble being seen as the adult he really was. despite the challenges, he finished in 7th place and became ZELOS’ main dancer and lead vocal.

STAGE NAME: bomb.

BIRTH NAME: park saebom.

BIRTHDAY: april 16th, 1995.

ZODIAC SIGN: taurus.

NATIONALITY: south korean.

HEIGHT: 176 cm.

POSITIONS: main dancer, lead vocal.

FACE CLAIM: kim hanbin (bi).

BAEK SIAN was born on november 18th, 1996 to a teen mother who was not ready to raise a child. because of this, sian was primarily raised by his maternal grandfather.

while his grandfather loved sian very much, he was very traditional and stuck in his ways. he had a lot of beliefs on how a “man” should act and sian acted the complete opposite. the two clashed often, mostly over sian’s love for music which his grandfather deemed girly.

because of how much he and his grandfather fought, sian joined the company without the man knowing at all. his grandfather had no idea he was even training until he appeared in GODS, ranking 3 and taking on the role of vocalist and visual in ZELOS.

STAGE NAME: sian.

BIRTH NAME: baek sian.

BIRTHDAY: november 18th, 1996.

ZODIAC SIGN: scorpio.

NATIONALITY: south korean.

HEIGHT: 183 cm.

POSITIONS: vocalist, visual.

FACE CLAIM: cho seungyoun (woodz).

CHOI SEONGHAN was born august 2nd, 1997 and raised by a WAY too nonchalant father. that man loves his son, but he is just way too calm about anything. seonghan was never really disciplined or punished for anything he did wrong, he had a lot of freedom.

when he auditioned for ??????!!!!!! his dad didn’t do any research or anything, just pushed seonghan to do it because he wanted to support his kid. moved from from new zealand in the middle of the school year for the opportunity. because of the way his father acted, he was never really taught to look for signs or protect himself, because his dad was always there to handle it.

seonghan would participate in GODS at 16-17 years old, despite struggling BADLY with his korean, he ended up ranking 4th and becoming ZELOS’ lead rapper.

MIN EUNHYUK or CHASE was born october 24, 1997 in los angeles, california. he was a kid used to getting his way, not necessarily because he deserved it, but because his parents had the money to make it happen.

chase grew up very comfortably, he played football and was good at it, his grades weren’t great, but they were worked around through 100 dollar bills and persuasion. he got everything on his christmas lists to a tee and more.

so when he wanted to move to korea to become an idol what did his parents do? they uprooted their lives for him, letting him train and eventually participate on GODS where he would place 6th and become the lead dancer, visual, and vocalist of ZELOS.

living with his stepmother, half sister seongmi, and his father was an interesting experience. while yes, his father loved him, it was clear that they favored seongmi more. it was like seongmi was their daughter, and seongbin was her protector.

1998

JANUARY: Helen tries to rebel against his parents by cutting his hair short, destroying the makeup palettes in his room, and bleaching all of the dresses and skirts in his closet beyond repair. He yells at his upset parents that he is a boy and he wants to live as one. His father beats him mercilessly for this and tells him he is forbidden to speak again until he no longer has those thoughts. His mother approaches after his father leaves the room, and he thinks perhaps she'll comfort him; instead, she cries and guilt-trips him for 'breaking her heart like this'.

MAY: Natalia's greedy father crosses the Russian mafia for his own gain, thinking he'll get away with it. He doesn't, and a hit is put out on him and his family. He hastily decides to flee the country and relocates himself, his wife, and Natalia to the USA. By working as an informant to the CIA, he secures a place in witness protection for his family. Natalia Ostrovsky becomes Natalie Oulette.

JUNE: Toby Rogers starts to experience tics, mostly gestural but some verbal. He is officially diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome by the end of the month.

SEPTEMBER: Jeffery's torturer has grown tired of him and has brought him out into the woods to kill and bury him. Jeffery doesn't have the strength to move at all, not even when the man points the rifle at his head. He's just happy it's almost over, happy to feel the cool wind on his damaged skin one last time. A shot fires, but Jeffery is still alive. His torturer is not the one who pulled a trigger, and the man runs off as voices approach. A couple of hunters find Jeffery and at first believe his emaciated, scarred body to be an odd Hallowe'en decoration. Upon realizing he's a kid and is still alive, they call for help and get him air-lifted to the nearest hospital that's equipped to handle injuries like his.

1999

APRIL: Jeffery has physically recovered as far as he can but is reclusive and afraid of everyone except one of the hospital nurses, Margaret Woods. Nurse Woods convinces her husband to adopt Jeffery and brings him home, where their son Liu Woods begins to bond with his new little brother.

NOVEMBER: Toby Rogers is officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He has been bullied in school for months, and after a particularly concerning incident of this his mother decides to pull him from school over the Thanksgiving break and start homeschooling him.

2000

JULY: Jane's family moves to a new house, and she befriends one of the kids in the house across the street: Liu Woods. Liu starts to introduce Jane to Jeff, who hardly leaves the house. Jane becomes friends with Jeff as well.

SEPTEMBER: The CIA orders Natalie's father to temporarily look after a teenage boy who is a witness in an upcoming trial. The boy is to stay with them and be considered a nephew to Mr. Oulette to whoever asks. The boy makes Natalie feel uncomfortable from the outset, and her feelings are justified when he starts to sneak into her room at night and abuse her. He threatens her to keep quiet, but after a few weeks she works up the courage to tell her parents. Her father responds by threatening her not to tell anyone else about it, as he doesn't want to stir up trouble and says the boy will be gone soon anyway. However, her mother installs a lock on her bedroom door and tells her to lock it every night.

2001

MARCH: Kagekao's parents fall ill due to tourists' disrespect of their home and subsequent trashing of it, and his father passes. He begins caring for his mother in hopes that she will recover.

APRIL: A wealthy client of Vinny's father is dissatisfied with his work, stating that the life-size child-age doll he crafted isn't realistic or lifelike enough for him. Vinny's father is unnerved by the man and offers a refund with intentions to refuse business from this client in the future. The client is offended by this, demanding that he get what he paid for. The client has his bodyguards burn the workshop with the dollmaker inside and abducts Vinny to serve as his lifelike doll.

JUNE: Jeffery has his first psychotic break in the middle of the night and stabs his adoptive parents to death. He starts to become lucid again after stabbing Liu and calls the police to help as Liu is still breathing. Jeff panics and doesn't know what to do; he runs toward Jane's home as she is the only other friend he has. He goes in through the basement window because it's the only one that's unlocked and at ground level, but being in the basement flares his PTSD and sends him back into his psychotic mind state. He kills Mr. and Mrs. Richards in their bed as well, before running downstairs and spotting a bottle of lighter fluid on the counter. He decides to 'burn this evil place', forgetting why he came, and that Jane was there. After lighting the fire, the smoke alarm wakes Jane, who sees her parents dead and attempts to get out the front door to safety. The entire downstairs of her home is in flames, and she sees Jeff leave out the front with the bloody knife as she catches on fire herself. Sirens are heard, and firefighters end up removing a badly burned but miraculously surviving Jane and sending her to the hospital while they address what remains of her once happy home.

SEPTEMBER: Jonathan, still mourning the loss of his older brother, secretly volunteers at a charity that supports LGBTQIA+ people and takes on as many tasks as he can in honor of his brother. He goes to great lengths to hide his volunteer work from his parents, especially his father, whose views have not changed.

OCTOBER: Hobo Heart has been wandering the world trying to find out why he exists and finds it easiest to do this in October while all the humans have Hallowe'en on the brain, and he doesn't catch quite as much attention. He meets a girl that he gets along well with and begins to develop an unhealthy obsession with her that culminates in him feeling she is his purpose for existing.

I did write all of the characters birthday on their profile, but it's been a while and I haven't made a profile for everyone so here's a list in chronological order of those who I gave a canon birthday.

Giuseppe Paradisi: September 3rd 1898

Gwenaelle "Gwenn" Lorgnez: August 9th 1904

Tamara Schumacher: July 7th 1971

Yamuna Chintal: December 12th 1971

Raphael "Ralf" Montag: August 1st 1973

Charlie Yi: February 5th 1984

Kino Gurafee: September 22nd 1993

Peneloppe "Paisley" Cox: October 18th 1993

Lilah Silvercloud: February 21st 1994

Antoinette "Toni" Crosdale: June 9th 1994

Audrey Newberry: October 26th 1995

Dawud Sahan: March 21st 1996

Rudder "Rudi" Marron: January 14th 1997

Marisa Magallanes: March 11th 1997

Matteo Rossini: November 25th 1997

Daniele Rossini: June 7th 1998

June Crosdale: November 27th 1998

Akvamareen "Akva" Singh: May 18th 1999

Athena Ramdeen: August 24th 1999

Adem Zaoui: January 9th 2001

Saraswati "Sara" Cox: November 1st 2019

Joseph Gurafee-Silvercloud: April 15th 2021

Bonus: It's been said in a chapter that Ulrikke, Rudi's younger sister, shares a birthday with Tamara. She was also turning 18 that years in 2021, meaning she was born in 2003. Daniele also said the Tenerife airport disaster was on his mother 10th birthday. This plane crash happened on March 27th 1977, therefore we can deduce his mom was born on March 27th 1967. I don't really have a specific birthday for the other character's relatives though some of them have at least an age that has been mentionned in canon. Like Akva said her parents had her at 20 for example. This is because I am a freak and I need my timeline to be super specific and on point even though nobody cares except me.

Dawud is also the only one to have celebrated his birthday in a chapter, twice in fact. This is a clever reference to him being the main character of the story.

SF9 Zuho birth chart analysis

Based on my opinion and observations. Not a professional. May change later.

July 4th, 1996

Seoul, SK

2 AM

Big 3: ☀️♋️, 🌙♒️, ⬆️♉️

Gemini mars + Gemini venus in 1st house is probably why he can seem intimidating at first (Mars) but charming later (Venus). Zuho does look fierce and he's aware of it, which is why he's always telling people he's not as scary as he seems (if anything he's the opposite of scary lol...this man is the scaredy cat).

I'm still learning a bit about degree theory, so I may not be too correct on this...Zuho is a Taurus rising at 20° - a Scorpio degree - so maybe that's also why he has a strong appearance. I honestly thought he was a Scorpio rising before I found his birth time

Moon square ascendant might make him seem moody. He's probably moody in general, especially since he's a Cancer sun, but he has other aspects that make him appear confident and determined

Venus in 1st + Taurus rising likely enhances his Venus energy more, making him charismatic (also with the help of venus-mars conjunction). The very wide shoulders, pointed chin and angular jaw, calm and quiet composure, slender fingers...Traits I've noticed in a lot of Taurus risings. Even my 2 Taurus rising sisters both have slender fingers too. My younger sis especially has strong Venus influence, which gives her the broad shoulders with the similar face shape

I find it so interesting how Venus is one of his dominant planets and he calls himself the male version of Venus, even having the lyric tattooed on his thigh

Mercury in 2nd makes him preoccupied with his finances and business, e.g clothing line Celui Huru

His Aquarius moon and Sun in 3rd makes him really communicative and social. It's very easy for him to get acquainted with others and get their phone numbers. Plus he does just...talk and talk on Vlives lol. His chart has air dominance, so I think his life theme is revolved around communication and interactions

Also a bit of a detached feeling...? It could be from the air dominance and Aqua moon. Maybe his Pluto in 7th as well (likely plays a major part in his chart since he has pluto sag at 0°). As social as he is, it likely takes a lot for Zuho to genuinely trust someone and let them in his heart. He definitely loves deeply and seems to be really loyal (maybe a bit possessive too due to pluto), but he doesn't want to waste his time with just anyone. Saturn in 12th seems to find it difficult to share his deeper feelings though (either he's really private or he doesn't understand how to process them). He's probably been alone a lot in his life and tries to avoid feeling lonely. He has admitted to occassionally regretting moving out from the dorm bc he's alone after schedules are done and his home feels empty without the members. Especially as a Cancer, family and a comfortable home are really important to him

Seems to be really self critical and sensitive to other's criticism as well but tries not to show it. Although I think that's a given, being an artist and all. But he enjoys what he does, it gives him emotional fulfillment (moon in 10th). He's even got tattoos of his member's bdays and Fantasy's bday as well, so his career is definitely something he loves genuinely. That's such solid proof of love and commitment (could be due to pluto in 7th; can be really devoted and even a little extreme with his love. Incredibly affectionate and touchy). Plus he sort of gets the freedom of self expression and creativity when producing and writing music (uranus in 10th)

Confrontational. Honestly I think the only thing holding him back from being more blunt is him being an idol. He has already pointed out a few people's rudeness in Vlive comments, but he was pretty nice about it

Lilith in 4th house and Saturn in 12th indicates possible family issues, especially regarding parents. Maybe some kind of detachment or repression of emotions since he was young

Chiron in 6th and North node in 6th....indicator of health issues (Chiron) and needing to set a healthy routine (NN). Zuho has gotten some pretty bad injuries (back, broken ribs; Mars in 1st house can be a lil clumsy since they're so hasty) and sickness. He doesn't sleep very often and even now he's been juggling a very hectic schedule with working back to back...he even drank 8 cups of coffee. I know it's difficult in general for idols to have healthy lifestyles, but it's especially important for Zuho to maintain one

6th house being service, it seems like Zuho is already a natural at helping others and being there for them. He just needs to learn how to help himself more often though

Aquarius MC is probably why he's so odd. Air + aquarius dominance in his chart, he's definitely really strange and wants to express himself in a unique way. His need for self expression is prioritized more by Jupiter in 9th; individuality and just overall being himself is important. Neptune in 9th may make him idealistic and open minded. He seems to work best alone since he can get things done faster and do things how he wants without much restriction. He wants to make a mark on the world with his work, wants to live a meaningful life
