A viral tweet revealing the star signs of prolific serial killers is causing a raucous online. 

While Scorpio often gets a bad wrap, it seems Gemini, Pisces, Virgo and Sagittarius are the star signs to watch out for. 

The tweet lists several notorious murderers and their star signs and points to Virgo as the most common star sign for killers.

The list includes infamous murders such as Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy and Richard Ramirez. 

Of the 28 people on the list, 10 are Virgo, eight are Gemini, six are Pisces and four are Sagittarius. None are Scorpio, however, infamous cult leader and murderer Charles Manson, who is a Scorpio, wasn't included in the list. 

Gemini killers on the list include Jeffery Dahmer, Mary Bell and Kenneth Bianchi. Killers with the Pisces star sign included John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, and Donald Henry Gaskins. 

Ed Gain, Terry Blair and Dean Carter were infamous Virgo included in the list. And Ted Bundy, George Chapman and Timothy Krajcir were Sagittarius.

Serial killers and their star signs have long been a topic for true crime fanatics. 

British author David Jester spent two years researching the star signs of some of the most notorious killers in the United Kingdom and the United States. 

Lester found Taurus was the zodiac sign linked to the most serial killers. 

Infamous Taurus murderers include America's first documented serial murderer, H. H. Holmes and Levi Bellfield. 

Lester also found April 24 (Taurus) and February 18 (Aquarius) were the most common dates for serial killers to be born. 

But ultimately it seems almost every star sign has a serial killer associated with it if you look hard enough.
