True crime and astrology go together like serial killers and the zodiac, which is to say, no they do not, but I’m doing it anyway. Astrology doesn’t control fate, but patterns among the zodiac signs of criminals as famous as these certainly are interesting. In this post, we investigate which signs feature most commonly among serial killers, the most infamous murderers with those signs, and walk you through an infographic summary of what we’ve covered above.

Astrology advocates are quick to point out that attributes such as emotional instability, adaptability, or duality — attributes many believe are linked to particular zodiac signs — are prevalent in criminal profiles.
- Gemini: Twoface, charm, manipulation (and behind it elements of darkness).
- Pisces: Imaginative but temperamentally unstable, which and occasionally result in a distorted fact of violence.
- Sagittarius: The restless thrill-seeker, tending to calculated risks and crimes on the go.
- Virgo: Detail-obsessed and meticulous, Virgo is frequently the mastermind behind organized, planned crimes.
