Planets, Signs and Houses in Murderers' Natal Charts.

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone.

 

The role of signs and houses becomes dubious when we compare the natal charts

of people who have done something similar.

 

The other day I bought a book called _Zodiac of Death_. Co-written by a

policeman and an astrologer, it looks at the crimes and the natal charts of

fifty murderers, including several mass murderers and serial killers

(including Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, and Charles Manson).

 

The astrological commentary is particularly bad. The delineations are

classic cases of " cookbook " astrology. Not only did the author not realize

that the planets didn't tend to appear in any one sign or house or any

combination thereof, she totally missed the fact that nearly every chart had

a Mars-Neptune aspect. Also, the aspects were both major and minor

(especially the semisquare and the semi-octile), and weren't necessarily

partile (a few had biquintiles, if you gave them orbs of four to five

degrees).

 

Of course, not everyone with a Mars-Neptune aspect is going to turn into a

serial killer. But this does warrant further investigation.
