When in doubt, we can only do one thing:blame our zodiac signs.

I kid, I kid.

Even though I always argue astrology has scientific value, this article is forentertainmentonly.

The results are (almost) surprising.

Personally, Im not surprised.

Its pretty obvious what the underlying manifestation likely is: need for total power and control.

Capricorn is not only authoritarian, theyre notorious for ritualistic killings their M.O.

commonly being strangulation, robbery, to include a religious justification built around destiny.

Hence, who rules destiny?

Examples include:The Sorcerer, Freeway Killer, and the Wolf of Moscow.

Next on the list is the zodiacs royal: Leo.

is similar to Capricorn, except a bit more disturbing it often has rape and sexual torture included.

More specifically younger aged and…. ~cringe~ children and cannibalism.

Which, Leo rules the sector over children.

Examples include:The Blood Countess, The Railroad Killer, and Monster Killer.

Just when we were surprised at Leo… well, Saggie isnt all that shocking.

Examples include:Ted Bundy, The Torso Killer, and the Interstate Killer.

The zodiacs humanitarian is not so humane.

Weirdly, Aquarian serial killers have commonly been the deranged (and bigoted) vigilantes.

Expectedly, their murders were a lot less messy than the others.

Guess the sign of justice has some remorse or, they undoubtedly treat their atrocities as an art.

Examples include:The Trash Bag Murderer, The Hillside Strangler, and Pedro Lopez.

Scorpio is a mix between Leo and Aquarius in terms of this list.

Torture, strangulation, necrophilia, and vampirism was also recurrent in their M.O.

Other Scorpio serial killers the use of a firearm, except many for Scorpio were done execution-style.

Examples include:The ABC Killer, Vampire of Hannover, and the Southside Killer.

Arian serial killers are so predictable… yet not?

First, none had a common M.O., to include very few of the crimes being sexual in nature.

The most popular weapon of choice was a firearm.

Not to mention a common trigger was being dumped.

Examples include:The Chessboard Killer, Jane Toppan, and Raincoat Killer.

Gemini serial killers seemed to be vengeful above anything else aside from demented, of course.

Granted strangulation, cannibalism/vampirism, tying/posing the bodies, and rape are common to their M.O.

Many killed couples, families, neighbors, even their own.

Oftentimes with overkill in stabbing or a firearm, in many cases while the victims were in their vehicles.

Which, who rules neighbors, locality, and transportation in astrology?Gemini.

Examples include:Jeffrey Dahmer, I-5 Killer, and Samuel Little.

Who knew sweet-n-sour Pisces could be so ruthless?

Pisces serial killers are the too charming to be true ones our mommas warn us about.

Examples include:BTK Killer, John Wayne Gacy, and Richard Ramirez.

Virgo may be ranked lower than expected, but the nature of their atrocities are what wed expect.

generally includes rape, strangulation, mutilation, and dismemberment.

The most prolific Virgos, however, were former medical professionals who poisoned their patients or surgically dismembered them.

Only Virgo is capable enough to be so meticulous, after all.

Examples include:Angel of Death, Boston Strangler, and Maria Swanenburg.

To include a much lower body count than any of the signs.

The trigger for many, however, had something to do with someone betraying or blackmailing them.

Other victims were typically high risk, more specifically prostitutes.

Cancer at the bottom of the list is pretty fair if you ask me.

Examples include:Charles Ray Hatcher, Prostitutes Killer, and Love Slave Killer.

Serial killer or cereal killer?

I think we all expected the zodiacs big teddy bear to have the least of a thrill to kill.

Well, besides the 22 dudes on this list.

includes necrophilia, strangulation, shooting, and even cannibalism.

In astrology, Taurus rules over Mother Nature and our basic necessities such as food.Hmmm.

Examples include:H.H.

Holmes, Andes Mountain Cannibal, and the Gorilla Killer.
