Disclaimer: I know this is a captivating title but I, in no way condone or glamorize any of these people or the heinous crimes they have committed. I also do not want people to generalize the astrological signsor nakshatras appearing in this post on a surface level and go about judging personalities. I just wanted to do this deep dive just to see how depraved, dark and blindly ruthless human mind can become and what are the factors leading to such detestable humans.

Almost all of the charts do not have a valid time of birth hence I have considered the major moon nakshatra spanning throughout the day for my analyses.

With that said, I hope you guys find the post insightful!

WESTERN ASTROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

We all have seen that popular post listing out the sun signs of a list of serial killers. Based on sun sign astrology, PISCES came out to be the top zodiac sign of serial killers and with mutable modality being the most dominant.

However, I found out a comprehensive research on (Source: Reddit post, by simplyastro_) 444 serial killers. The top three sun signs were Aquarius followed by Pisces and Sagittarius. Here, again the Mutable modality came out first, which gives the natives restless, ever wandering (in the look out) energy and mind.

VEDIC ASTROLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

This reddit post gave me the inspiration to start with my deep dive by giving a comprehensive list of the most notorious serial killers across different countries and genders (with dedicated wiki profiles and date+place of births). Claire Nakti's research on a total of 160 serial killers (Video, Results of her research) laid the foundation where she investigated the moon rashi, moon nakshatras, lagna nakshatras, rahu and saturn house placements.

I have highlighted only the moon rashi, nakshatras (taken from claire's research) and the moon nakshatra rulers (Vimshottari system) since I truly believe such deviance begins from the mind (ruled by the moon).

Ashwini (Rashi ruler: MARS; Nakshatra Ruler: KETU) came out to be the top moon nakshatra with the mars-ketu rulership giving them the headless rage.

TOP PLANETARY PLACEMENTS OBSERVED ACROSS 100+ CHARTS OF SERIAL KILLERS:

Moon-Ketu conjunction

Moon-Saturn connection (Conjunction or aspect)

Mars-Ketu connection

Mars-Saturn connection

Moon-Mars connection

Moon hemmed by malefics (Paap Kartari Yog)

Retrograde motion of malefics

Here the moon (mind) is heavily afflicted by the "malefics" (Saturn, Mars, Ketu/Rahu) giving the natives, hardships (Saturn- as many killers do grow up on hard childhood, trauma), severe anger issues (Mars), withdrawal from emotions and detachment (Ketu).

With major ketuvian themes playing such as moon conjunct ketu, top moon nakshatra and nakshatra ruler all condensing down to KETU, I went onto check the top nakshatra placement of ketu in these charts, turns out

Mula (again, Ketu-ruled)

Purvabhadrapada (Jupiter-ruled)

Shravana (Moon-ruled)

ASTROLOGY OF SERIAL KILLER MONIKERS/NICKNAMES

During the research, I also came across the nicknames of the serial killers to be repetitive and these nicknames had the themes relating to their moon nakshatras,

Brutality-themed Monikers (with the nicknames being 'Angel of death', 'Ripper', 'Butcher', 'Strangler', 'Monster', 'Cannibal') - Moon nakshatra residing in Mula, Jyeshtha, Vishakha, Anuradha and Chitra.

Occult-themed monikers (with the nicknames being 'Witch doctor', 'Serpent', 'Black magic killer', Shadow stalker) - Moon nakshatras in Ashlesha and Revati.

Deception-themed monikers (Nicknamed Casanova killer, Kindly killer, Outlaw biker, Dating game killer) - Bharani, Rohini, Purva Phalguni and Shravana.

FEMALE SERIAL KILLERS ASTROLOGY

Out of the 100+ charts I looked into, 24 of the charts were of female serial killers. With the feminine energy being traditionally defined as nuturing, soft and filled with grace, I wanted to look into the afflictions of the moon and venus in these 24 charts to understand the root of evil in women.

All 24 charts had a planet (especially moon, venus, saturn, mars, rahu or ketu) in anuradha nakshatra, with the top moon nakshatra being krittika (especially Taurus side of Krittika where the true exaltion point of the moon reside). I do believe the exaltation point of the moon do makes sense, because looking at the history of these killers, people have described them as happy and amicable beings which made it even the more shocking that they are even capable of such crimes (Blanche Monnier is yet another example that truly made me question on moon and its exaltation).

And yet another common observation seen across the top 5 nakshatras is that they are all in someway Mars-ruled (either by rashi rulership or nakshatra planetary rulership) and hence, overpowering the venusian qualities.

Top planetary placements observed commonly across these female killers 'charts were the planets in anuradha, venus severely afflicted by harsh planets like Mars, Saturn (tight conjunctions) and Rahu (Promiscuity).

With only 24 charts, the sample size is too small to draw strong conclusions about female serial-killer monikers and their connection to nakshatra themes. However, one chart did stand out: Annie Marie Hahn, known as the “Poison Angel” — had a Venus–Rahu conjunction in Ashlesha nakshatra (Ruled by the Naagas, playing out the poison theme).

Here are some more posts that inspired me to do this research and delve into the themes,

Vedic astrology and Criminals

An elevator door opens, you know it by the sound. In the distance, a tree grows inside the elevator. Its roots are deep, it has been there a while.

You blink. The tree is a few feet closer. Its roots crack the linoleum, where they have been growing for years, its boughs reach to the skylight, there is broken glass nestled among the tile where it sprouts.

You blink.
