Serial killers aren’t exactly a cheering diversion from political mayhem but there have been two in the headlines.
Mikhail Popkov, 7 March 1964, Angarsk, Russia, known as “The Werewolf” one of Russia’s most prolific serial killers was convicted of 22 murders in 2015 and confessed to 59 additional homicides recently.
Samuel Little, 7 July 1940, Reynolds, Georgia, claims to have killed as many as 90 people; investigators claim to have linked him to at least 34 murders.
The victims in all cases were women.
Popkov is a Sun Mars in Pisces with a Sagittarius Moon; and most significantly has Pluto – and Uranus – opposing his Mars which is also trine Neptune.
Samuel Little is a Sun Cancer with a Mars Pluto conjunction in Leo square Jupiter; with a Leo Moon which is either square Jupiter Saturn or Uranus – or all three. .
Mars Pluto is the marker you’d expect to see with brutality and ruthlessness.
Both have exceptionally marked 18th Harmonics, which is often the case with multiple murderers. The 9th Harmonic is what gives pleasure, multiplied by 2 the number of conflict.
In alchemy at the end of the process of turning lead into gold (symbolically) there was always matter left at the bottom of the crucible, which they called the ‘terra damnata’ – that which had no hope of redemption or transformation. It was thrown away as useless.
Statistcs show the extraordinary frequency of a Police or military background of many serial murderers. Astrologically speaking, I’ve noted that Mars/Pluto and Mars/Saturn appear in the charts of individuals in these professions – also surgeons and people who work with precision instruments.
Mars Saturn was traditionally the marker for assassinations; and Mars Pluto is ruthless brutality. Mars Saturn is often a military indicator because of its rigid discipline = controlled anger and assertion – and it’s a career which involves socially sanctioned killing – so no surprises it attracts those who are that way inclined.
Surgery is a pretty brutal business despite its prettied up-tv face and requires great control and stamina.
Interesting. I’ve also noticed that individuals born with an adverse Mars/Saturn can have a negative experience of the father – as a disciplinarian or tyrant. I suppose Mars and Saturn weren’t given the title ‘the great malifics’ for nothing. On a personal note, the most traumatic experience of my childhood occurred when transiting Saturn and Mars were exactly conjunct my North Node in the 12th house.
Tsk. Malefics.
