There are two things people are always obsessing over – true crime and astrology.
Now, a woman on TikTok has put the two together by identifying the zodiac signs for some of the world's most horrific murderers – and there's a shocking trend among them.

Lauren Skirvin, an ‘armchair astrologist’ who posts on TikTok as @whydontyoub***haboutit shared a list of notorious killers and their star signs.
One of the names on the list is Jeffrey Dahmer, who is the subject of the terrifying Netflix series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Ted Bundy and Ed Gein are also part of Lauren’s list.
It turns out the killers on the list all share the same four star signs, and while some people are shocked certain signs are missing from the list, others aren’t surprised at all.
“For those of you who don't believe in astrology, how can you explain that there’s only four signs included in this long list?” she asked
“That’s wild.”
Lauren explained that there was one sign from each of the elements on the list with Gemini being an air sign, Pisces a water sign, Sagittarius being a fire sign and Virgo an earth sign.
She pointed out that Virgos are represented the most on the serial killer list, with 10 murderers born between 23 August and 22 September.
“You know that their crime scenes are immaculate though,” Skirvin said.
“You know they’re bleaching those crime scenes within an inch of their lives, and they’re perfectionists, so no stone is left unturned.”
Gemini is the next most common star sign on the list. Dahmer and David Berkowitz, who was the subject in the unsettling true crime Netflix documentary Sons of Sam earlier this year, are both Geminis.
John Wayne Gacy and Richard ‘The Night Stalker’ Ramirez are two of the eight Pisces on the list. “Pisces is surprising to nobody either, because they let s**t build up and then they explode,” the TikToker shared.
Lauren admitted to being surprised about the number of Sagittarius killers on the list. "Sagittarius is most surprising, but they’re only listed four times here,” she said.
"Sagittarius is chaotic and impulsive – I don’t know, you mix that with mental health issues, and I could see it happening.”
TikTok users shared their reactions in the comments and people are divided.
One astrology fan said: “As a Virgo this does not surprise me.”
A second TikTok user wrote: “Not me being a Gemini living with Virgo and Pisces children.”
One woman joked: “Not a single Aries either. Another day another slay, ladies.” A fourth quipped. “Didn’t see a cancer. The guilt would kill us”.
When asked about the lack of Libras, one TikToker in the comments replied: “Libras couldn’t decide who to kill."
“This just proved Leo’s are the best.”
Some viewers were shocked about the lack of Scorpio representation on the list, which Lauren noticed and addressed in her video.
“The most surprising thing about this list is that Scorpio is not on it,” she said.
“However, a name that is missing from this list is the Zodiac killer, who a team of codebreakers has decided was Gary Francis Poste, who’s a Scorpio.
“So we don’t know if that’s true or not, but if it's true – if he is a Scorpio – he would be the one Scorpio out of the list.”
