Episode 11: Brian Kohberger: The Scholar of Death

New episode out today. Episode 11 of The Astrology of the Underworld takes on Bryan Kohberger, the man convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students in 2022. In this episode, we look at a chart saturated with Scorpio, including a massive stellium of Sun, Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury, the North Node, and Venus, along with a grand trine and a volatile Jupiter-Mars square that points to hidden rage, obsession, psychic pressure, and the potential for violent escalation. We talk about the concentrated force of all that Scorpio energy, the emotional intensity of a Cancer Moon, the perfectionism and wounding suggested by Chiron in Virgo, and the way his chart seems to reflect secrecy, fixation, alienation, and a deep instability around power, rejection, and control. We also get into the stalking, the institutional obsession, the strange sterility of his presentation, and the disturbing possibility that his studies in criminology became tangled up with his own compulsions. This episode explores what happens when enormous psychic intensity hardens into obsession, when wounds calcify into rage, and when a person begins organizing their life around domination, surveillance, and violence.
