Top 20 Serial Killers Zodiac Signs: People can be divided on many things but astrology takes the cake. Some people follow their horoscopes religiously and make every decision based on the predictions while others think astrology is nonsense and tend to roll their eyes. Astrology is all about patterns, correlations and behaviours. Serial killers and their behaviour is one of the most engrossing subjects for many people and there is an interesting question that can be raised when we try to combine these topics: what zodiac signs are most common in serial killers?
One thing that must be clarified is that being a Gemini or a Scorpio does not make one a murderer. Most astrologers agree that the most killers can be explained due to trauma and psychological issues which will astrology will not explain. However some of the details that the stats reveal are interesting enough to be investigated.

The Zodiac Signs Linked to Serial Killers
When analyzing the Zodiac signs of the top 20 serial killers, notable patterns emerge. Some signs of the Zodiac are considerably more common among some of history’s most notorious killers, while others are rather rare. Perhaps the most fascinating finding from the data is that the water signs – Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio are overrepresented and constitute the majority of the killers.
It seems almost logical: water signs tend to be very emotional, and sensitive, and in extreme cases, those feelings can be manifested in destructive ways. Sagittarius, the fiery adventurer, also appears more often than anticipated, highlighting that impulsiveness and thrill-seeking behavior are contributing factors.
Most Common Zodiac Signs Among Serial Killers
Based on a study of hundreds of murderers, four zodiac signs stand out at the top of the list:
❖ Pisces
❖ Cancer
❖ Scorpio
❖ Sagittarius
Each of these signs had 46 serial killers born under them, making them the most common. Together, they account for nearly 40% of known killers. That’s a heavy concentration, especially considering there are 12 signs in total.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the list, Taurus and Gemini were the least common, with only 27 each. But don’t be too quick to let Geminis off the hook – two of the most notorious names in true crime, Jeffrey Dahmer and David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz, were both Geminis.

Kill Counts by Zodiac Sign
While the number of killers per sign is interesting, the average number of victims paints another eerie picture.
✔ Capricorn killers racked up the highest body count, averaging 19 victims each. Known for their calculated and disciplined nature, it’s not surprising that Capricorn serial killers tended to be methodical and effective in carrying out crimes.
✔ Virgos, by contrast, had the lowest average—around 7 victims each. For such a perfectionist sign, maybe their control and attention to detail kept them from going completely off the rails.
Why These Signs?
Let’s analyze some characteristics that explain why these signs might be abundantly represented:
❖ Pisces: Highly sensitive and at times out of touch with reality. Imbalances may lead to serious and destructive outcomes.
❖ Cancer: Recognized for dependency and demand. In distorted forms, that co-dependency may become suffocating or even lethal.
❖ Scorpio: Highly secretive and driven by power. Scorpio individuals are associated with obsession and jealousy, traits that may lead to aggression.
❖ Sagittarius: Restless and unwaveringly eager for an adventure. In exceptionally rare cases, their passion may trigger extreme violent outbursts.
A Dark Zodiac Takeaway
So, what’s the conclusion? Though astrology can’t determine who will become a serial killer, it does highlight some odd trends worth paying attention to. The most notable pattern regarding the top 20 serial killers zodiac signs is that most were water signs (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio) with the addition of fire sign Sagittarius. On the other hand, Earth signs and Air signs were much less common.
There is no astrological influence that determines whether someone will become a killer or not. Your sign of the zodiac may explain some of the personality traits and oddities that you have, but it certainly doesn’t determine whether you will live a boring life or a life that is infamous for all the wrong reasons.
Final Thought ➜ Next time someone tells you they’re a Pisces or a Scorpio, don’t panic. Just… maybe don’t follow them into a dark basement either.
