Zodiac Killers: What Signs Were Serial Killers Born Under?

Astrology is polarizing, I get it. Some people believe wholeheartedly that a person’s birth chart can determine both the conscious and unconscious facets of their personality and life path, while others think it’s fucking dumb and don’t even talk to me about it, you new age Buzzfeed loser. Hey trolls! I pre-empted your comments right there, saving you time so that you can post more Pepe memes or leave misogynist youtube comments or whatever it is you do for fun these days.

Anyway, let’s find a happy medium somewhere and acknowledge that while astrology has some airy fairy qualities, it can also be interesting to explore anything that creates connections between human beings. So here’s some food for thought for all of us who are fascinated by serial killers and have some interest in astrology โ€“ a list of notorious serial killers, grouped by their sun signs. Someone want to do their birth charts and figure out moon and rising? Mars would probably be very relevant. But I don’t have time because I have a day job, so I’m gonna keep it light. Disclaimer: I realize that serial killers usually have childhood trauma, psychological issues, and a host of other influences that lead to their penchant for murder. AKA Not *all* Geminis are serial murderers. But a surprising number of serial murderers are Geminis…

ARIES (March 20 – April 19)

Aries are fiery, impulsive, and quick to lose their tempers. So it’s honestly not hard to imagine them killing people in a fit of rage. I feel like they would be battling with their inherent need for attention, and want desperately to be recognized for their killing prowess.

 
Joseph โ€œThe Racist Killerโ€ Franklin
 

1. Joseph โ€œThe Racist Killerโ€ Franklin โ€ฆ 7-22 victims

2. Donald Harvey โ€ฆ 37-57 victims

3. Keith โ€œThe Happy Face Killerโ€ Jespersen โ€ฆ 8 victims

4. Paul โ€œThe Casanova Killerโ€ Knowles โ€ฆ 18-35+ victims

5. Herbert Mullin โ€ฆ 13 victims

6. Charles โ€œThe Serpentโ€ Sobhraj โ€ฆ 12+ victims

7. John Reginald โ€œThe Monster of Rillington Placeโ€ Christie โ€ฆ 8 victims

 

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

I’m a Taurus, and I can attest to the fact that the very rare times I’ve gotten truly angry โ€“ not annoyed, irritated, upset, or somewhat angry, all of which I can easily control โ€“ it was like a fucking hurricane of anger took over my body. I just wanted to destroy anything and anyone in my path. I felt like the Hulk. So yeah, I can imagine Tauruses killing people. But there’s only a few of us who go that far because mostly we want to chill, eat and fuck.

 
H. H. โ€œThe Torture Doctorโ€ Holmes 
 

1. Martha โ€œThe Lonely Hearts Killerโ€ Beck โ€ฆ 3-17 victims

2. Albert โ€œThe Moon Maniacโ€ Fish โ€ฆ 3-9+victims

3. H. H. โ€œThe Torture Doctorโ€ Holmes โ€ฆ 9-200 victims

4. Earle โ€œThe Gorilla Killerโ€ Nelson โ€ฆ 22+ victims

 

GEMINI (May 21 โ€“ June 21)

Serial killers are often described as appearing totally normal; blending into society at large, but with a dark alter ego. Kind of like Jekyll and Hyde. So it’s not that surprising that the twins top the list with the most serial killers in their midst. Two-faced is an understatement.

 
Jeffrey โ€œThe Milwaukee Cannibalโ€ Dahmer
 

1. David โ€œSon of Samโ€ Berkowitz โ€ฆ 6 victims

2. Kenneth โ€œThe Hillside Stranglerโ€ Bianchi โ€ฆ 12 victims

3. Richard โ€œThe Dracula Killerโ€ Chase โ€ฆ 7 victims

4. John โ€œThe Michigan Co-Ed Killerโ€ Collins โ€ฆ 1-7+ victims

5. Jeffrey โ€œThe Milwaukee Cannibalโ€ Dahmer โ€ฆ 17 victims

6. Peter โ€œThe Monster of Dusseldorfโ€ Kurten โ€ฆ 9+ victims

7. Danny โ€œThe Gainesville Ripperโ€ Rolling โ€ฆ 8 victims

8. Arthur โ€œThe Monster of the Riversโ€ Shawcross โ€ฆ 14 victims

9. Peter โ€œThe Yorkshire Ripperโ€ Sutcliffe โ€ฆ 9+ victims

10. Wayne โ€œThe Atlanta Child Killerโ€ Williams โ€ฆ 23-29 victims

11. Robert Lee Yates โ€ฆ 16 victims

 

CANCER (June 21 โ€“ July 22)

Cancers are all about co-dependency and care. Genene Jones is the perfect example of a Cancer serial killer โ€“ a nurse murdering the infants who depended on her for their care. But apparently killing people means you don’t have anyone depending on you any more, so it’s not a great choice for Cancers.

 
Genene Jones
 

1. Genene Jones โ€ฆ 2-60 victims

2. Carl Panzram โ€ฆ 5-22 victims

 

LEO (July 23 โ€“ August 22)

Leos love themselves more than any other sign of the zodiac. Killing people means you get caught, which means you’ll have to lay low either to avoid detection, or because you’ve been put in jail. No one can admire your beautiful mane if you’re behind bars, so again, not a great choice for attention-loving Leos.

 
Myra โ€œThe Moors Murdererโ€ Hindley
 

1. John โ€œThe Acid Bath Killerโ€ Haigh โ€ฆ 6-9 victims

2. Myra โ€œThe Moors Murdererโ€ Hindley โ€ฆ 5 victims

3. Anthony โ€œThe Cleveland Stranglerโ€ Sowell โ€ฆ 11 victims

 

VIRGO (August 23 โ€“ September 22)

Virgos are the most anal of the zodiac, by far. I’m assuming many of these Virgos got annoyed by something their victims said or did, and they took the most extreme form of correcting them by ending their lives. We are all useless fuckups in the eyes of Virgos.

 
Paul โ€œThe Schoolgirl Killerโ€ Bernardo 
 

1. Rodney โ€œThe Dating Game Killerโ€ Alcala โ€ฆ 8-130 victims

2. Richard โ€œThe Angel of Deathโ€ Angelo โ€ฆ 8 victims

3. Paul โ€œThe Schoolgirl Killerโ€ Bernardo โ€ฆ 3-4 victims

4. Richard โ€œThe Thrill Killerโ€ Biegenwald โ€ฆ 6-9+ victims

5. Albert โ€œThe Boston Stranglerโ€ DeSalvo โ€ฆ 13 victims

6. Ed โ€œPsychoโ€ Gein โ€ฆ 2+ victims

7. Harrison Graham โ€ฆ 7 victims

8. Henry Lee Lucas โ€ฆ 157+ victims

9. Gerald Stano โ€ฆ 22-41+ victims

10. Marybeth โ€œThe Bad Momโ€ Tinning โ€ฆ 1-9 victims

 

LIBRA (September 23 โ€“ October 22)

Libras want everyone to like them, and everyone to want to fuck them. These guys were probably incel-types that were angry about their advances being rejected. I bet they were also pretty easy going with the cops when they were caught. Just a reminder, I am pulling this all out of my ass.

 
Patrick โ€œThe Freeway Killerโ€ Kearney
 

1. Angelo โ€œThe Hillside Stranglerโ€ Buono, Jr. โ€ฆ 12 victims

2. Gerald โ€œThe Love Slave Killerโ€ Gallego โ€ฆ 10 victims

3. Patrick โ€œThe Freeway Killerโ€ Kearney โ€ฆ 21-43 victims

4. Bobby Joe โ€œThe Classified Ad Rapistโ€ Long โ€ฆ 10+ victims

5. Carlton โ€œThe Stocking Stranglerโ€ Gary โ€ฆ 7 victims

 

SCORPIO (October 23 โ€“ November 21)

I have a soft spot for Scorpios; they’re my sister sign and they’re great in bed, but goddamn they rank high on the serial killer potential scale. It’s probably their tendency to be possessive, jealous, paranoid and secretive โ€“ undeniably great qualities to have if you want to give in to your impulse to kill and get away with it.

 
Carl Eugene โ€œThe Sunday Morning Slasherโ€ Watts
 

1. Alton Coleman โ€ฆ 8 victims

2. Nannie โ€œThe Giggling Grannyโ€ Doss โ€ฆ 11 victims

3. Belle โ€œHellโ€™s Belleโ€ Gunness โ€ฆ 40+ victims

4. William โ€œThe Lipstick Killerโ€ Heirens โ€ฆ 3 victims

5. Charles Manson โ€ฆ 7 victims

6. Carl Eugene โ€œThe Sunday Morning Slasherโ€ Wattsโ€ฆ 22-100 victims

7. Amy Archer-Gilligan โ€ฆ 10-50 victims

8. Leonard Lake โ€ฆ 11-25 victims

9. Alton Coleman โ€ฆ 8 victims

10. Derrick Todd โ€œThe Baton Rouge Serial Killerโ€ Lee โ€ฆ 7+ victims

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 โ€“ December 21)

Sagittarius is an adventurous sign, always looking for something and someone more fun to hang out with. They’re very outgoing and love attention, so this picture of Ted Bundy waving in court with a friendly psycho kinda look on his face is iconic Sagittarius. They probably continued to kill because they got bored with reminiscing over their earlier victims.

 
 

1. Ted Bundy โ€ฆ 30-36+ victims

2. Richard โ€œThe Torso Killerโ€ Cottingham โ€ฆ 6+ victims

3. Edmund โ€œThe Co-Ed Butcherโ€ Kemper โ€ฆ 10 victims

4. Dennis โ€œThe Monochrome Manโ€ Nilsen โ€ฆ 12-15 victims

5. Gary Heidnik โ€ฆ 2+ victims

6. Raymond โ€œThe Lonely Hearts Killerโ€ Fernandez โ€ฆ 3-17 victims

 

CAPRICORN (December 22 โ€“ January 19)

Capricorns love planning and methodical approaches to life, so these killers were probably very organized. They’re almost as anal and judgey as Virgos, and just as intolerant of uselessness. But they like following rules, so they must have had to create some kind of alternate “code of conduct” in order to justify their law-breaking.

 
 

1. Joe โ€œThe Alligator Manโ€ Ball โ€ฆ 2-20 victims

2. William Bonin โ€ฆ 21-36+ victims

3. Ian โ€œThe Moors Murdererโ€ Brady โ€ฆ 5 victims

4. Dean โ€œThe Candy Manโ€ Corll โ€ฆ 28+ victims

5. Vincent โ€œThe Brooklyn Stranglerโ€ Johnson โ€ฆ 5 victims

6. Charles Ng โ€ฆ 11-25 victims

7. Wayne โ€œThe Vampire Rapistโ€ Boden โ€ฆ 3 victims

8. Dorothea โ€œThe Death House Landladyโ€ Puente โ€ฆ 3-9 victims

 

AQUARIUS (January 20 โ€“ February 18)

Aquarius people are fucking weirdos. They’re not going to follow your stupid laws, they follow their internal compass, so when that goes wrong, it goes very wrong.

 
Gary โ€œThe Green River Killerโ€ Ridgeway
 

1. Jerry โ€œThe Lust Killerโ€ Brudos โ€ฆ 4 victims

2. Robert โ€œThe Butcher Bakerโ€ Hansen โ€ฆ 17-21+ victims

3. Joel Rifkin โ€ฆ 9-17+ victims

4. Gary โ€œThe Green River Killerโ€ Ridgeway โ€ฆ 49-90+ victims

 

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

Pisces are the emotional vampires of the zodiac, and you’ll find that most of them have a victim or two in their grasp at all times. Most of them are content with destroying you emotionally and psychologically, but some of them have the need to consume your life force for real. They also rank high on the serial killer list, and I can’t say I’m surprised. These serial killers probably realized their passive aggressiveness wasn’t sating their need for human agony, so they turned to murder.

 
John Wayne โ€œThe Clown Killerโ€ Gacy
 

1. John Wayne โ€œThe Clown Killerโ€ Gacy โ€ฆ 33-34 victims

2. Donald Henry โ€œThe Meanest Man in Americaโ€ Gaskinsโ€ฆ 9+ victims

3. Randy Steven โ€œThe Scorecard Killerโ€ Kraft โ€ฆ 16-67 victims

4. Richard โ€œThe Night Stalkerโ€ Ramirez โ€ฆ 14 victims

5. Ottis Toole โ€ฆ 6+ victims

6. Dennis โ€œThe BTK Killerโ€ Rader โ€ฆ 10 victims

7. Douglas โ€œThe Sunset Slayerโ€ Clark โ€ฆ 7 victims

8. Christopher โ€œThe Beauty Queen Killerโ€ Wilder โ€ฆ 8-9+ victims

9. Aileen Wuornos โ€ฆ 7 victims

10. Christopher โ€œThe Beauty Queen Killerโ€ Wilder โ€ฆ 8-9+ victims

 

As a final note, don’t take this personally. You are the exception to the rule of your zodiac’s behaviour.
