Ruled by Mars, the god of bloodshed, many Aries-heavy charts belong to serial killers and war generals. In Vedic texts, Mars was associated with death by weapon. Some occultists believe Aries souls skip healing stages in the astral.
Venus seems soft, but in Babylonian astrology, Taurus was regarded stubborn & unchanging, even in death. There's lore that Taurus souls bind to objects (rings, heirlooms, land) making them common in hauntings.
Mercury governs illusion and duality. Some occult schools say Gemini is a sign that splits souls. Gemini is associated with doppelgängers, psychic twins, and voices in the void. In dark magic, Mercury’s reversal can be used for mind control or possession.
Cancer rules the 4th house (home, ancestry) but also the portal to the underworld. Many psychics, mediums, and ghost-seers have strong Cancer placements. The Moon governs this sign: linked in many ancient cultures to madness, lunacy, and shapeshifting.
Leo’s shadow is narcissism so strong, it creates energetic imprints after death. Many haunted mirrors and cursed portraits are believed to hold the soul of a Leo. In Egyptian myth, Leo are believed to consume impure souls

Saturn rules Capricorn - god of time, decay, and judgment. Many Capricorns are born with “old soul” energy. Some say they're souls that refused to rest. Their karmic ties are deep. Capricorns are often ancestral vessels.
Ruled by Uranus (madness) and Saturn (detachment), Aquarians are the beautiful outsiders. Some occultists believe Aquarius-born souls are starseeds—but not all friendly.
Neptune is linked with delusion, addiction, and spiritual fog. In ancient astrology, Pisces marked the end of the zodiacal cycle, the sign of death and dissolving ego. Spiritually ungrounded Pisces can fall into psychic loops.
