The Basics in 5 Steps

How To Get Started Deciphering Crime Charts

Step 1

Learn What a Traditional Zodiac Wheel Looks Like and Lords of Each Zodiac Sign

If you want to understand Forensic Astrology more easily, you’ll probably need an intermediate level of general astrology knowledge.

Astrology has a variety of different disciplines. In Medical Astrology, depending on the planetary aspects, each sign and house signifies a different:

body part
organ
affliction (an allergy, virus, disease, mental affliction, paralysis, etc.)

In Forensic Astrology, you can look to signs or houses to understand details of a crime:

A chart can show (to name a few):

details of the crime scene
if evidence was left behind and where (and what type),
the suspect’s description and if a witness will come forward to help
false alibis
if the witness was about to testify before being harmed

15 Clues You Can Find From a Birth Chart

Forensic Astrology is used by astrologers and a growing number of forensic psychologists to psycho-analyze the motives of a killer as a way to extract practical clues about an unsolved crime. It is an ancient practice for profiling a criminal.

Learning the Lord of each house is crucial to analyzing the crime chart. Aries: Mars, Taurus: Venus, Gemini: Mercury, Cancer: Moon, Leo: Sun, Virgo: Mercury, Libra: Venus, Scorpio: Mars/Pluto, Sagittarius: Jupiter, Capricorn: Saturn, Aquarius: Saturn/Uranus, Pisces: Jupiter/Neptune.

After verifying (if possible) the timestamp on a CCTV video, a last text from the victim or a last seen time from a witness, you can draw the forensic chart. This is an image of Real Housewives’ Dorit Kemsley’s home video of criminals who terrorized her and stole valuable jewelry in October, 2021.

Step 2

A Crime Chart Changes Every 2 Minutes

Once you experiment with casting a crime chart with an online calculator on astro-seek, just as you would type in your birth chart – you’ll see that the chart you cast for a given time is configured differently than the traditional zodiac chart above in that the signs are probably in different houses.. This is why crime charts are as unique and serve as a fingerprint or the crime scene itself. No two are alike. Each chart has different clues and indicators that can give vital answers to what actually happened during a crime.

Step 3

Your Timestamp is the Most Vital Requirement in the Process

The more accurate your timestamp, the more precise your analysis and map will be (if you’re looking for a missing person). You’ll want a CCTV, home video, Amber Alert, 911 call or arrest time or the time a last text was sent from the victim. Keep in mind that not all times are accurate (i.e. a clock may not have changed to daylight savings format or a building manager may admit that their CCTV camera “always runs ___ minutes slow”).

Step 4

Research Your Case

The more you know about the case, the easier it is to connect the dots. Opening a map is helpful so you can clarify the 1st house of the crime chart – what is around the victim – which will include landmarks and help to explain the planets in the 1st.

Step 5

Identify Important Ruling Planets

When you identify the planets that rule the Ascendant and Descendant, and the elevated planet(s) at the top of the chart, you already have a few clues to analyze. You might conclude that the perpetrator will be likely be caught and if the victim will survive (see how Moon is aspecting the victim’s ruling planet). Keep in mind that the Moon will also represent the victim too in missing persons cases. To find out more: download our 30-min ($29) Forensic Astrology 101 course.
