[@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii]

so far, I love it. I am excited to see you put this up!!

I love your description of Pluto being radiation like. I have my Pluto in an exact conjunction with my Black Moon Lilith in Virgo in the 11th house. Both of them are trine my natal Sun and Saturn in Taurus on the cusp of my 7th and 8th houses.
So, I have that Saturn thing going on like Bundy, but it's supported. It's used to provide information and entertainment. I also have the Sagittarius moon but my Jupiter is also in Sagittarius. It's being exalted. Where Bundy has his Sun at 2 degrees, I have my Neptune sextile that lovely Pluto/BML combination. That's in the 2 nd house, and yes, one of my parents was from a foreign country. Think vamp with a kind of quirky charm. No dead bodies, just to much Lovecraft and relationship chaos! LOL!

I'm interested in the demonic aspect, having dealt with a lot of bona fide demons, and this is about as overtly demonic as you can get. I associate the nodes with demonic influence, especially Rahu. Seems to me the north node-Uranus co-presence in Gemini is kind of a formula for evil genius. The nodes, in Vedic astrology, are also known for illusion and deception. Coincidentally, I also have my nodes on the 11th-5th axis (only flipped), but I'm not sure how much significance the houses make as an indicator. The eclipse is significant and was always considered a very evil omen in cultures around the world. Pluto is also a big significator of abuse and power, particularly rape, and there's that Mars-Moon conjunction, again, on the Gemini-Sag axis that I associate with bipolar disorder, to boot! Any other thoughts on possible demonic indicators? I know it's out there, but somehow it became the thing I'm drawn to understanding. You say at one point early in the video about how you don't know what could be done for him, and the only thing would be an exorcism, but people with that level of possession don't agree willingly. But spiritual intervention is the only thing that could've helped.
It's funny timing because I just finished watching the "Tiger King" and it really struck me how they were ALL narcissists. There is a very literal connection between lions/big cats and a king complex and the ability to control others, whether human or animal. The Leo rising is interesting to me because the first 2 thirds of Leo slip back into Cancer in Vedic astrology, which I'm more familiar with. I was involved with a guy who was a Leo in Western, but Cancer in Vedic, and he was an unbelievable womanizer and a narcissist, but he could be really vulnerable, too. A potentially deadly attractive combination. The very first thing I thought seeing Bundy's chart was the multiple significators for charm, with Pluto's magnetism in Leo in the 1st and the Sun in the 5th. I also thought it was noticeable that his eclipsed moon rules the 12th house of self-undoing, his mother must've been key to his hatred of women. 4th house also rules vehicles in Vedic astrology, taking women on short trips, with Neptune in the 3rd pulling a vanishing act. You're right, this chart is crazy literal! Thanks for the talk, really interesting and disturbing.

I can't say that I've studied indications of demonic in astrology. I do recall encountering some delineations in a traditional text (I want to say Manilius off the top of my head) that include "affliction from evil spirits" among the significations of a particular placement. I believe it was Venus in the 9th house in aspect with Saturn, though I imagine there is more written on the subject to be found.
My understanding of the nodes has definitely evolved since I recorded this video, and while I have continued to see a prevalence of Ketu conjunctions in the charts of murderers, I am starting to lean more in favor of the Vedic perspective that Rahu is generally the more problematic node for most purposes (though that could easily be a subjective opinion haha). That is interesting that you associate Rahu with demonic influence. While I don't think of either of the nodes as inherently "evil," they definitely have a quality that could be very much likened to that of possession. The dragon hunger is real and will totally sweep you up haha! I think in the case of Ted Bundy, I couldn't point to any single placement or factor as "responsible" for how things played out, but so many dark omens staked up in a single chart does make it hard to see it going any other way. Though I do still like to believe that there's always hope to improve outcomes and steer them in a more positive, or at least less negative direction.
I'm glad you "enjoyed" the video :). My studies of the Decans since recording this have revealed even more layers to how literal this chart is. I may have to revisit it some day.
And thanks so much for your thoughtful comment!

@@astrologyforearthlings That's really interesting about Venus in the 9th, as I have Venus in the 9th and she's super messed up in my life. I don't think she has a direct aspect to Saturn or any of the other planets in the chart, although she is in Saturn's sign of Aquarius, but she LOOKS like she should be sitting pretty, and instead Venus has been my total Achilles heel (I was told by a Vedic astrologer that she has 3 specific afflictions of piercing arrow, if I recall the word was "chidra," but it's not a concept I've ever heard anywhere else or know anything about).
The "evil" reputation of Rahu and Ketu comes from (besides the very obvious fact that they eclipse the great luminaries in our sky) the story of the dragon asura, or "demon," that snuck into the amrit of immortality-sipping party of the gods and got a drop down before Vishnu chopped him in half. So they're associated with being sneaky, casting illusions and tricking people (among other things). It is especially inauspicious for a node to line up with the moon because it indicates mental derangement. It's that crazy-making that I associate with demonic influence because usually that is what is underpinning the heaviest mental illnesses. Just as an eclipse takes away the light, an eclipse of the mind warps the ability to see clearly. Ketu is considered more favorable in Vedic astrology because of its rejection of materialism, but it can manifest in negative ways, such as wholesale rejection, disgust and nihilism. But it can also be harnessed for great spiritual discipline. It kind of depends on the other influences in the chart. But to be honest, Rahu and Ketu are heads and tails of the same coin. Would love to watch a video of what you've learned about Rahu & Ketu :)
Our eyes tend to glaze over at archaic mentions of demons in these modern times. I recited a Hindu text for 10 years that mentioned that the Guru would save you from demons and ghosts. It didn't click that maybe there might have actually been something to those words I was chanting over and over again until after I had my exorcisms! Imagine my surprise, in retrospect! I am one of those people who believe everything is destined. I think we're just having an experience of choice that is really already written. I tried to help so many people with demons, and literally only 3 ever took my advice. So I have this feeling like the astrological chart shows these seeds implanted in our destiny, and time just ticks, ticks, ticks until the moment one of those seeds sprouts. And I'm pretty sure there isn't much you can do to speed it up or slow it down. However, if there is any way to influence one's life, I'd say it would be through spiritual practice. If it doesn't change much in this life, then at least it will the next!
