According to several astrological studies carried out on dozens, even hundreds of serial killers, certain signs of the zodiac appear disproportionately. Capricorn, fish, Gemini or even the Virgin are at the top of the most frequently associated astrological profiles with these extraordinary criminals.
Fascinating for some, frightening for everyone, serial killers have become dark figures from popular culture. Behind their actions sometimes hide disturbing psychological profiles … but also astrological points. By crossing data from several studies carried out since 2008, we notice that Some astrological signs come back much more frequently than others in serials Killers. Capricorn, fish, the virgin, the Gemini or the Scorpion seem more represented than cancer or bull. How to explain it? Are these simple coincidences or are there zodiacal characteristics that could make these individuals more inclined to violence? Let’s explore the statistics, the portraits of famous killers and astrological interpretations to try to understand.
What is the most represented astrological sign in serial killers?
Among all the signs of the zodiac, Capricorn seems to be the one that is most often found in serials Killersaccording to a study relayed by Aufeminin. On a panel of a hundred serial killers analyzed by the clairvoyance platform, 13 were Capricornes. At the top of the list, we find Harold ShipmanBritish general practitioner accused of having killed at least 215 people During his career. This sign of land, governed by Saturnis often described as ambitious, methodical, disciplined, even cold and calculating. Character traits which, according to the astrologer Getter Honigmancould play a role in their ability to organize and plan crimes with rigor. But Capricorn is not the only one to make statistics shudder. Other signs come back frequently, including Fish (12), Scorpions (11), and Gemini (9). These figures must however be taken with care: they do not prove anything in itself, but question on potential correlations between astrological traits and criminal behavior.
Why are the mutable signs overrepresented in the Killers Serials?
A further study, conducted in 2008 by the statistician Jan Ruis on 300 serial killers, highlights another phenomenon: “Mutable” signs (Gemini, virgin, sagittarius, fish) would be clearly overrepresented. These astrological signs, located at the end of the seasons, are renowned for their Flexibility, their adaptability … but also their emotional instability. THE Geminifor example, is often associated with a double personality. Sociable and charmer outside, he could, according to astrologers, hide a troubled inner world. Jeffrey Dahmerborn under this sign, is one of the most frightening killers in American history. He killed and dismembered 17 young men between 1978 and 1991. Gemini David Berkowitzalias “Son of Sam”is another striking example. There Virginshe is recognized for her Obsessive meticulousness. Albert DeSalvo (“Boston strangler”) and Ed gonnawho inspired the character of Leatherface in Chainsaw massacreshare this sign. This scheme would also be found in Pisces and Sagittairesmore dreamy or impulsive signs, but sometimes disconnected from reality or eager for thrills.
What other astrological signs are also frequent in serial killers?
If the mutable signs stand out in several studies, other signs are also well represented. This variation is partly explained by the analysis method: certain research, such as that of clairvoyance chat (based on 100 profiles), lists only the number of killers per sign. Others, like that led by ZodiacSign.com on 485 serial killersdistinguish two dimensions: the number of killers on one side, and the total number of victims on the other. However, according to the first criterion – the most frequent – it is these signs that dominate:
- Fish (46),
- Scorpion (46),
- Cancer (46),
- Sagittarius (46).
Three of these four signs are Water signsassociated with the emotional sensitivityhas intuition and sometimes to deep emotional disorders. Fish, in particular, were cited in almost all studies such as ambivalent profiles, between compassion and loss of bearings. Richard Ramirez or Aileen Wuornos are the best known examples. THE Scorpionas for him, is often described as mysterious, manipulator and passionatefeatures that can derive towards extreme violence. Charles Manson is an emblematic representative. THE Canceroften perceived as protective, can in its dark face Top in isolation, resentment or rupture with the outside world. Finally, it should be noted that the Capricornesalthough fewer in this study, exceed all other signs in average number of victims. Clearly: They kill less frequently, but more massively. A statistical as chilling as it is intriguing.
What if the stars had nothing to do with it?
If astrology amuses, intrigues or sometimes shivers, it is good to remember that it is not based on No recognized scientific base. No serious study has established a causal link between a zodiac sign and behavior (whether criminal or not). Becoming serial killer does not depend on an astral theme, but many complex factors like the family environment, trauma, or psychiatric disorders. This does not prevent reading your horoscope with curiosity – as long as we keep in mind that the stars do not dictate our destiny … even less our darkest impulses.
