S2 Ep11: Albert Fish
In the early decades of the 20th century, a series of disappearances and deeply disturbing crimes slowly converged around one man hiding behind the appearance of a frail, elderly drifter. Albert Fish targeted society’s most vulnerable, moving through boarding houses, neighborhoods, and families with calculated patience while leaving devastation in his wake. His arrest revealed a pattern of extreme sadism, long-standing compulsions, and violence that spanned decades, shocking even seasoned investigators. In this episode, we trace Fish’s progression from his early life marked by institutional trauma to the crimes that ultimately exposed him, and examine how his Taurus-heavy chart, paired with a likely Capricorn Moon, reflects obsessive endurance, rigid control, and a fixation on physical suffering carried out with chilling persistence.

S2 Ep10: Israel Keyes
In the early 2010s, investigators uncovered a serial killer whose crimes defied traditional patterns and challenged the limits of criminal profiling. Israel Keyes operated across the United States for years, carefully planning abductions, sexual assaults, and murders while leaving behind almost no forensic trail. He buried “kill kits” years in advance, selected victims at random, and avoided familiarity that might connect one crime to another. In this episode, we trace Keyes’s methodical escalation, the chance encounter that led to his arrest, and the unsettling interviews that followed, where fragments of the truth emerged alongside calculated silence. Through the lens of his Capricorn Sun and Sagittarius Moon and Mercury, we examine how discipline, ideological detachment, and a need for control shaped a killer who viewed violence as both strategy and philosophy.

S2 Ep9: Dean Corll - The Candy Man
In the early 1970s, Houston became the setting for one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. Dean Corll, known locally as the "Candy Man", used his access to teenage boys and the trust of their families to conceal a prolonged pattern of abduction, assualt, and murder. With the help of two teenage accomplices, Corll lured dozens of victims to his home and other locations, where the violence escalated unchecked for years. The case only came to light after one of those accomplices turned on him, exposing a scale of brutality that shocked investigators and the public alike. In this episode, we trace Corll's progression from quiet neighborhood presence to orchestrator of mass murder, examine the role of manipulation and control within the group dynamic, and explore how his Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, and Leo Rising reflect calculated authority, compartmentalization, and a need to dominate while remaining unseen.

S2 Ep8: Ed Kemper - The Co-Ed Killer
In the early 1970s, California was shaken by a series of abductions and murders that would later be traced to Ed Kemper, an intelligent, articulate man whose calm demeanor masked escalating violence. Kemper targeted young women he picked up while hitchhiking, committing six murders before turning his rage toward his mother and her friend in a final act that stunned investigators. When he ultimately called police to confess, his cooperation and unsettling composure challenged traditional ideas about remorse, motive, and control. In this episode, we examine the path from his turbulent family life to the crimes that defined his legacy, and explore how his Sagittarius Sun and Leo Moon reflected his need for validation and visibility, while his Virgo Rising with Saturn on the Ascendant speaks to the rigid self-control, repression, and internalized judgment that shaped the most disturbing aspects of his behavior.

S2 Ep7: H.H. Holmes – The Devil in the White City
In the 1890s, Chicago’s booming South Side became the backdrop for one of the most infamous criminal legends in American history. H. H. Holmes, born Herman Webster Mudgett, cultivated the persona of a polite, educated businessman while quietly engineering a web of fraud, manipulation, and murder. Though newspapers later sensationalized his so-called “Murder Castle,” the truth is more unsettling. Holmes exploited trust, opportunity, and the anonymity of a growing city to carry out his crimes. In this episode, we trace his rise from medical student to accomplished con man, follow the investigation that unraveled his schemes, and examine the forces that kept him unsuspected for so long. Through the lens of his Taurus stellium, Sun, Pluto, Mercury, and Venus, and his Leo Moon, we explore the charm, steadiness, and calculated self-presentation that enabled him to reinvent himself repeatedly while hiding a far darker reality.

S2 Ep6: Robert Hansen – The Butcher Baker
In the 1970s and early 1980s, Anchorage, Alaska, was stalked by a predator hiding in plain sight. Robert Hansen, a quiet baker, devoted father, and seemingly ordinary member of the community, was secretly hunting women in the wilderness, kidnapping them, assaulting them, and releasing them into the remote woods before tracking them like game. For years, his crimes went unnoticed, protected by his reputation and the harsh, isolated landscape he knew better than anyone. In this episode, we follow the investigation that finally exposed the Butcher Baker, the survivors who helped break the case, and the chilling methodical nature behind his violence. Through the lens of his Aquarius Sun and his Capricorn Moon and Venus, we explore the emotional detachment, rigid control, and cold calculation that fueled one of the most disturbing killers in American true-crime history.

S2 Ep5: Ted Bundy
In the 1970s, a wave of disappearances swept through the Pacific Northwest as Ted Bundy, seemingly intelligent, ambitious, and disarmingly charming, lived a double life that concealed one of the most prolific serial killers in American history. To friends and colleagues, he was a law student with political aspirations; to investigators, he became the elusive predator responsible for a multistate trail of abductions, murders, and brazen escapes. In this episode, we chart Bundy’s progression from his early crimes in Washington to the brutal attacks at Florida State University’s Chi Omega house, and the psychological unraveling that followed. Through the lens of his Sagittarius Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Leo Rising, we examine the reckless impulsivity, hunger for admiration, and grandiose self-mythologizing that shaped the dark legacy of Ted Bundy.

S2 Ep4: Paul Michael Merhige – The 2009 Thanksgiving Murders
In 2009, a Florida family gathered for what should have been a warm, ordinary Thanksgiving, until the night erupted into one of the most devastating family massacres in modern true-crime history. Paul Michael Merhige, long described as the “golden child” with a quiet brilliance and a history of untreated mental illness, arrived at his relatives’ home in Jupiter with a calculated plan he had concealed for years. Before the night was over, four family members were dead. In this episode, we trace the years of decline that led to that holiday tragedy, the red flags, and the chilling callous behind Merhige’s actions. Through the lens of his Virgo Sun, and the influence of Virgo Mars and Virgo Venus, we explore how perfectionism, suppressed rage, and internalized resentment fused into a catastrophic breaking point on a night meant for gratitude.

S2 Ep3: Ed Gein – The Ghoul of Plainfield
In the winter of 1957, the rural town of Plainfield, Wisconsin, was thrust into national horror when investigators stepped inside the farmhouse of Ed Gein, only to uncover a nightmarish collection of human remains turned into masks, clothing, and household décor. Gein, a reclusive handyman shaped by an obsessive devotion to his mother and a lifetime of isolation, blurred the line between grief, delusion, and ritual. His crimes would go on to birth some of the most iconic monsters in American film, but the reality was far stranger than fiction. In this episode, we trace the path from Gein’s suffocating childhood to the macabre discoveries that stunned the world, and examine how his Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Gemini Rising reflect the unsettling mix of compulsive ritual, moral distortion, and fractured identity that defined the Ghoul of Plainfield.

S2 Ep2: Robert Eugene Brashers – The Yogurt Shop Murderer
On a December night in 1991, four teenage girls were found bound, gagged, and burned inside an Austin yogurt shop, a crime so brutal it stunned the nation. For years, police pursued a tangled investigation that led to false confessions, overturned convictions, and lingering doubt. Decades later, advances in DNA testing would upend everything, pointing not to the four accused young men, but to an unknown perpetrator whose identity remains elusive. In this episode, we revisit the case that defined a generation of true-crime skepticism, unpack the missteps that derailed justice, and explore how the cosmos of that night mirrored the tension between illusion and truth, a tragic reflection of innocence lost and faith in the system forever shaken.

S2 Ep1: Daniel Gonzalez – The Freddy Krueger Spree Killer
In September 2004, London was gripped by a wave of seemingly random violence that left four people dead and two others severely injured. The attacker, 24-year-old Daniel Gonzalez, moved through the city like a horror-film villain come to life, mask on, knives drawn, and an obsession with becoming a “famous serial killer.” Diagnosed with schizophrenia years earlier, Gonzalez had cycled through psychiatric care and warning signs that went unheeded until it was too late. In this episode, we trace the brutal timeline of his two-day killing spree, the chilling writings that revealed his fantasies, and how his chart, anchored by a Cancer Sun and Libra Moon, reflects the desperate need for validation, emotional chaos, and fractured sense of self that spiraled into real-world horror.

S1 Ep20: Dorothea Puente – The Death House Land Lady
Behind the lace curtains of a modest Sacramento boarding house, Dorothea Puente cultivated the image of a kind grandmotherly caretaker. But in reality, she was orchestrating one of California’s most chilling murder-for-profit schemes. Throughout the 1980s, Puente preyed on the vulnerable, elderly and disabled tenants who trusted her with their lives, while secretly cashing their benefit checks and burying their bodies in her backyard. In this episode, we unravel the haunting timeline of her crimes, explore how she evaded suspicion for so long, and examine her astrological chart. With both her Sun and Moon in Capricorn, Puente embodied cold pragmatism and ruthless ambition, while her Gemini Mars added a calculating, manipulative edge, making her a master at deception, control, and survival.

S1 Ep19: Andrei Chikatilo – The Rostov Ripper
Between 1978 and 1990, fear gripped the Soviet Union as one of the most prolific serial killers in history hunted in plain sight. Andrei Chikatilo, a quiet family man and schoolteacher on the surface, was hiding a horrifying secret. Over more than a decade, he murdered and mutilated at least 52 women and children, leaving behind a trail of terror that baffled authorities for years. In this episode, we trace the chilling timeline of his crimes, uncover the failures of the Soviet system that allowed him to continue, and explore the astrological blueprint of Chikatilo’s dark psyche. With his Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio, and Venus in Scorpio, Chikatilo’s chart reveals a man torn between outward charm and inner turbulence, marked by obsessive desires, emotional intensity, and a disturbing struggle with intimacy and control.

He looked like the all-American success story; a former football star drafted by the Green Bay Packers. But behind the athlete persona was a violent predator. Between 1979 and 1981, Randall Woodfield terrorized the Pacific Northwest, committing a spree of robberies, sexual assualts and murders along the I-5 corridor.

In 2016, Sherri Papini vanished while jogging near her Northern California home. For 22 days, the country searched, and when she reappeared, bruised and chained, she claimed she’d been abducted by two Hispanic women.

In 1991, 11-year-old Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted while walking to her school bus stop in broad daylight. For the next 18 years, she was hidden in a backyard compound, held captive by Phillip and Nancy Garrido, and forced to live a life no child should ever endure. In this episode, we follow the harrowing timeline of Jaycee’s kidnapping, the disturbing psychological manipulation she endured, and how she finally regained her freedom.

But behind the tabloid frenzy was a brutal story of alleged abuse, control, and a woman pushed to her breaking point.

On April 20, 1999, two teenage boys unleashed unimaginable violence at Columbine High School, leaving 13 victims dead and the country in shock. But behind the trench coats and violence were two very different minds. Eric Harris, an Aries Sun with a Scorpio Rising and Cancer Moon, was volatile, vengeful, and dangerously charismatic. Dylan Klebold, born under a Virgo Sun, Pisces Rising, and Aquarius Moon, was deeply conflicted, isolated, and quietly unraveling.

Ivan Jerome Hill, infamously known as the 60 Freeway Killer, terrorized Southern California by targeting sex workers and marginalized women in the '90s. With an Aries Sun and a Virgo Moon, Hill's chart reveals a disturbing blend of impulsive aggression and calculated control. But it’s his overwhelming number of cardinal placements that really stand out, hinting at a relentless drive to dominate, initiate, and assert power over others. Was his birth chart a cosmic blueprint for control and chaos? Or did life push his cardinal energy into darkness?

S1 Ep9: Casey Anthony – The Most Hated Mom in America
In 2008, 2-year-old Caylee Anthony was reported missing, not by her mother, but by her grandmother. What followed was a jaw-dropping investigation full of deception, a car trunk that reeked of death, and a media firestorm that turned Casey Anthony into the most hated woman in America. In this episode, we explore the fantasy world Casey seemed to live in, the murky circumstances surrounding Caylee’s disappearance, and how her Pisces Sun and Rising, paired with a deeply emotional Cancer Moon, may have fueled the delusion, denial, and detachment that shocked the world.

S1 Ep8: John Edward Robinson – The Internet’s First Serial Killer
He was a seemingly mild-mannered husband, father, and businessman...but behind the screen, John Edward Robinson was luring women online, manipulating them with fake job offers and BDSM contracts, and ultimately murdering them. Dubbed “the Internet’s first serial killer,” Robinson used early chatrooms and dating sites to hunt for victims long before digital crimes were common. In this episode, we walk through his disturbing double life and explore how his Capricorn Sun and Moon, and Scorpio Venus and Rising, created a blueprint for control, deception, and domination.

S1 Ep7: Mark David Chapman – The Man Who Killed Lennon
On December 8, 1980, John Lennon was shot outside his New York apartment by Mark David Chapman, a fan who’d asked for an autograph just hours earlier, then calmly sat reading The Catcher in the Rye until police arrived.
