We use Magi Astrology check out a murder suspect

Murderous Energy
Quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger has been described as “exceedingly creepy” and there’s evidence supporting the allegation that he killed four University of Idaho students in the early hours of 13 November 2022. He has yet to be found guilty in a court of law, but we do find a suspicious alignment in Bryan Kohberger’s geocentric astrology.

Sappho symbolizes obsessions, compulsions, dysfunctional personal boundaries and inappropriate coping strategies. Sedna adds brutality, savagery, violence and evil. To this we can add the demonic behavior of Lilith. Even though all these aspects are separating - and therefore weaker - the combination of theses energies can offer up something hideous.
NOTE: Having these energies in your chart doesn't make you a murderer - but they offer that potential among other potentialities. There are many other people born on this day who did not kill anybody on the day of these murders.
Xanthus aspects on the day

Lilith represents demonic behavior and Xanthus represents mass murder - they were both in aspect to Bryan Kohberger's dark mystical triangle on the day of the murder. The potential for compulsive and demonic savagery present in the natal alignment was activated by the transiting demonic and murderous energy.
The transiting Xanthus and Lilith were both applying to all planets in the alignment, making the transits more powerful: transiting Xanthus was half a day away from exact to Sedna and four days away from exact to Lilith; transiting Lilith was four days away from the aspect with Sappho and one day away from the aspect with natal Sedna.
Kohberger's heliocentric Xanthus alignment
In the heliocentric realm, Bryan Kohberger has another problematic alignment.

In the heliocentric realm, Bryan Kohberger has an alignment between Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Sedna, Xanthus and the Saturn/Chiron midpoint (hk).
Scientific study and thinking about violence
This alignment not only has bearing on the murder potential, but it also underpins aspects of Kohberger's criminology studies. Interpretation: Scientific study (Saturn) and exploring (Mercury) of brutal (Sedna) violence (Mars), murder (Xanthus) and the taking of lives (Saturn/Chiron).
Putting theory into action
If Bryan Kohberger is guilty of these crimes, we should expect to see significant transiting aspects back to his natal chart at the time of the murders.

First of all, we find Chiron aspecting all the natal point on the day of the murders. While Chiron is a positive "planet," it also signifies life, life-and-death, reincarnation and death in some cases. The aspects formed by the slow-moving Chiron are not very exact in this case, but overall, it does highlight the potential for death from violence.
The faster-moving Saturn/Mars midpoint (hm) is square Xanthus to within two days, opposing Mercury to within five days and and square Mars to within a week. This midpoint can symbolize dominance through violence.
The Mars/Ceres midpoint, symbolizing accelerated violence, is conjunct natal Mars and square Mercury exactly on the day, in both cases. It is opposing Xanthus to within three days.
Here we see three different levels of increasing the potential for murder.
