72 Pisces Serial Killers

Pisces are often often considered one of the kindest zodiac signs, but these water signs have a dark side too. Being a sensitive, mutable sign, and water sign makes them likely to take on negative traits when human beings abuse them as children.

As adults when their innate frustrations come out, they may display violence. In fact, they are one of the four zodiac signs with the most serial killers. I went through and fact checked the other blogs to see how many Pisces serial killers are there.

Then we'll provide the Pisces serial killers list. We'll also discuss some of the notorious serial killers born in Pisces like John Wayne Gacy, BTK Killer, The Night Stalker, and Aileen Wuornos.

Serial Killers Born Between February 19 And March 20 Are Pisces

For those of you aren't too familiar with astrology, it's helpful to have some background on Pisces. Pisces is a mutable water sign associated with people born between February 19 and March 20th each year. Pisces ruling planet is Neptune and it is considered the 12th sign of the zodiac.

Pisces are normally associated with traits like sensitivity, compassion, intuition, adaptability, indecisiveness, and creativity. The adaptability and indecisiveness may contribute to living double lives. Meanwhile the compassion and sensitivity may lead to becoming overwhelmed and using a fantasy world to cope.

According to a Quora thread, when they struggle to communicate their emotions they can develop psychological issues.

They are represented by two fish swimming in opposite directions.

According to Ranker.com, many Pisces serial killers have a history of drug or alcohol addiction,which may be influenced by their parents.

As adults Pisces serial killers often have unstable professional lives with career changes. In addition, the majority of Pisces criminals often have intense emotions that often come out in their killings through overkill or torture.

Pisces Serial Killers List

There are 72 Pisces serial killers across the globe that I was able to identify by searching "serial killers born on (Date)."

Most results came from Wikipedia and I did not link to them all because that would be a tremendous number of links in small sections. The rest came from Pisces serial killers Reddit posts by user WildDog3000 which posted "On this date..." posts.

This is far more than the 46 serial killers that had previously been listed in other blogs. I have listed them in chronological order.

Famous Serial Killers Born In Pisces

In this section, we'll look at some of the famous serial killers that are under the Pisces sign. You may want to read this study on the validity of astrological charts in understanding serial killers to understand why I focus on moon and Neptune aspects.

John Wayne Gacy

John Wayne Gacy, aka "Killer Clown," murdered at least 33 young men and boys in Chicago between 1972 and 1978. He owned a construction company and was a respected community member who performed as "Pogo the Clown."

He would use his status and offer to help people to lure victims to his home where he sexually assaulted, tortured, killed, and buried them in his crawl space. He was executed in 1994.

John Wayne Gacy zodiac signs are as follows:

In addition, John Wayne Gacy has 26 aspects that have the potential to cause internal conflicts, the most noticeable of which are:

• Moon Conjunction Sun: This can make a person self-indulgent and arrogant

• Moon Opposite Neptune: This can make it hard for a person to balance their emotions and reality. It would explain why he was gay and angry about it, and took it out on people by sodomizing them, torturing, and killing them.

• Sun Opposite Neptune: This creates conflict between conscious and subconscious.

• Uranus Trine Neptune: This aspect requires people to look at themselves and find a way to balance their new progressiveness (Gacy's homosexuality) and the traditional values (homosexuality). He did so by killing people.

• Moon Trine Ascendant: This makes it very easy to be open about your emotions. That's why Gacy would make his sexual intentions known to employees and they would continue working for him even after they rejected his advance and left his home.

• Saturn Trine Neptune: This aspect helped Gacy become successful in the community and at serial killing people because he was able to turn his dreams into reality.

• Moon Trine Pluto: Failure to overcome this aspect likely led Gacy to feeling anger towards himself because of his sexual desires. Had he been able to forgive his dad for treating him like a sissy, he might have been able to find a meaningful loving relationship instead of sexual assault and murder.

• Mars Trine Neptune: This aspect likely led to Gacy's charitable nature when performing as Pogo The Clown and his willingness to take in the down trodden, but it wasn't able to overcome all the other powerful influences that he struggled with given his proclivities and the lack of social acceptance during the 70s.

Richard Ramirez Zodiac Sign Is Pisces

Richard Ramirez, aka The Night Stalker, was a direct product of his upbringing. His dad nearly killed him multiple times before the age of six, his uncle filled his head with stories of his murders in Vietnam and show his trophies, plus his family would take him on peeping Tom missions.

Combine all this with schizoid personality disorder, brain damage that caused temporal lobe epilepsy, aggressivity, and hypersexuality, and drug abuse and you have a recipe for one really messed up human being.

He first killed on April 10, 1984 and it involved strangulation, rape, stabbing, and suspending the nine-year-old girl to a pipe.

He killed at east 13 people and attempted to kill at least five more through various means to support his drug habit.

His murders didn't follow a specific pattern except for stealing cars, then stealing valuables and money before having his victims swear to Satan that he had gotten everything. He used guns, bludgeoning knifes, strangling, and other methods to degrade, rape, and kill his victims.

Oddly, after his first kill it appears he stopped killing children. I have to wonder whether he realized that he didn't want to do them what had been done to him as a child.

You can see which house and zodiac signs the planets are in below.

The Night Stalker has 29 aspects in his birth chart that can intensify traits or cause internal conflicts. Below are some of the ones that tend to be in most serial killers birth charts.

• Moon Conjunction Mercury: This aspect can be positive or negative. When it's negative it creates mood swings, overthinking, and sensitivity, all of which Pisces is prone to anyways.

• Moon Opposite MC: This aspect leads to a strong sense of family, but when you deal with abuse and witness your cousin kill your wife it probably leads to a skewed view on relationships.

• Venus Square Neptune: Tensions between desires and reality can arise.

• Moon Square Jupiter: This aspect likely played into the Night Stalker's drug abuse and carelessness, lack of forethought, indecision, changeability, and extravagance.

• Mars Square Neptune: This aspect creates unrealistic expectations, and may make it hard to tell the difference between realistic goals and fantasies.

• Moon Square AS: This aspect creates a level of moodiness that can be exacerbated by drugs and holding the emotions in.

• Sun Trine Neptune: This aspect may explain why the Night Stalker turned to Satanism, play a role in drug abuse, and made it harder for him to distinguish from reality and his delusions.

• Neptune Sextile Pluto: Most people talk about this aspect creating a spiritual awakening and transformation, but Richard Ramirez seemed to go the opposite way.

• Moon Sextile Mars: The moon in Pisces and Mars in Aquarius sextile brings powerful emotions with impulses of action and desire. It may also explain much of his detachment that developed.

• Neptune SemiSquare AS: This aspect can make it hard for people be practical and may make it easier for others to exploit them, which his family definitely did with beatings and other influences.

• Mercury SesquiQuadrate Neptune: This is another aspect where reality is hard to distinguish from fantasy. While many people thing horrible thoughts when mad or sad, most don't act on them.

• Moon Quintile Saturn: I've been having a really hard time piecing together how all these favorable aspects of a natal chart come together, but this makes sense. This aspect makes people value a harmonious home life, which Richard Ramirez didn't have. His victims suffered the consequences of him being unable to achieve the environment he craved.

• Neptune SemiSextile MC: It's more of the same craving harmony but being fed horrible images of death, family, and violence.

Ultimately, I think as far as notorious serial killers and their signs go, Richard Ramirez is the perfect case for the argument that no matter what your nature, birth charts can't overrule a bad upbringing.

Dennis Rader AKA The BTK Killer Is A Pisces

Dennis Rader is another of the serial killers with a sun sign in Pisces. He would break into people's homes bind, torture, and kill them. He killed at least 10 people through suffocation, strangling or using a gun and knife.

You can see which zodiac signs and houses each stellar body was in at the time of his birth below.

In addition, there are 32 aspects that either enhance or create conflict in the birth charts planetary positions. We'll focus primarily on the ones between the Moon and Neptune because those are the major ones that have been found to impact most serial killers.

• Neptune Opposite MC: This comes out as a need to connect with others on a deeper level combined with driven to pursue your passions with boldness and determination. It creates a conflict between Dennis Rader's public image as a good father, husband, and community member, and his passion for controlling and murdering people.

• Moon Opposite AS: This aspect is associated with practicality and emotional depth. They may have hidden talents and secret passions like his murders, taunting the police, and providing security for people scared of the BTK killer.

• Mercury Opposite Neptune: These planets being in opposition made it where Dennis Rader would be very accommodating to his victims even though he was in the process of killing them. For instance, when Joseph Otero Sr complained about a cracked rib, Rader gave him a pillow to soften the pain.

• Saturn Square Neptune: This combination creates a conflict between a desire for structure and responsibility in their home life with difficulty caring for himself and facing hidden fears. Escapism and disillusionment may be present. I find it odd that BTK doesn't specifically have mention of abuse/neglect like most serial killers and it may be because he repressed the memories to please those around him.

• Moon Trine Jupiter: This is a positive aspect that combines has two zodiac signs known for control (Capricorn and Virgo) pushing for power, success, and structure. This likely contributed both to his ability to evade capture for 30 years despite witnesses when a murder occurred and his taunting of police.

• Uranus Trine Neptune: This aspect almost completely describes Rader's history of murder. It encourages the pursuit of unique, transformative experiences within social circles and networking (each murder was somewhat different), and potentially leading to unexpected breakthroughs in relationships (Writing police 13 years after his last known murder).

• Sun Sextile Moon: This provides practical visionary ideals and emotions that can lead to strong work and spiritual growth, but like most serial killers he couldn't escape his desire for recognition.

• Neptune Sextile Pluto: This one is complicated because it requires more advanced astrology to be meaningful in birth charts, but it may explain why he was so ticked off that he received less attention than most serial killers of the time. This is a great read on Neptune sextile Pluto.

• Mars SesquiQuadrate Neptune: This aspect suggests revolutionary action focusing on communication which may cause ups and downs during the serial killer's life. This may be why the victims stopped piling up and he focused on raising kids, then when they got older, he started teasing police to find him again.

Ultimately there are numerous parts of Dennis Rader's astrological chart that align with his classification as a control killer, some of the odd ways he treated victims, and his choice to pick up his communications after years of silence.

It's also interesting to me that more of his planets are in the cardinal signs (another control signal) as opposed to the mutable sign that serial killers are more commonly associated with.

FAQ

How Many Serial Killers Are Pisces?

There are at least 72 known Pisces serial killers across the globe. The majority of the Pisces serial killers are from the United States, with Russia, formerly the Soviet Union, ranking second place for the most notorious serial killers.

Why Are Most Serial Killers Pisces Criminals?

Most Pisces aren't serial killers, but many serial killers are Pisces. There is a slight prevalence of serial killers in Pisces compared to the general population, but other factors play a bigger role.

According to the statistical analysis of serial killer astrological charts, the mutable signs (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius) are far more represented in serial killers than the general population.

Over representation of moon-mercury aspects (emotion and communication issues may rise) and under representation of Moon-Mars(typically favorable but unrealistic expectations, impulse control, and anger can occur when in the wrong houses. The study didn't explore how these played out in the houses of serial killers which I suspect would be unfavorable).

Plus the Neptunian influence in the 12th house can lead to people being secretive, blurring boundaries, escapism, and self-deception. Combine all of this and you have a great recipe for Pisces becoming notorious serial killers.

It should be noted, that many of these characteristics come into play when combined with abuse or neglect at a young age.
