Using astrology to explain evildoers

I've been asked to use astrology to explain why a third party is evil more than a few times after being given their birth information. I can tell you how that chart can go right or go wrong, sure, but it's not going to be to your satisfaction: it's not YOUR chart. I can definitely say with some certainty why the person who got messed with was vulnerable to the evil doer, but generally speaking, trying to find the reason that someone did an awful thing will never be answered to your satisfaction. At least, I've never heard of a case like this where all of a sudden the situation is all wrapped up because someone got a new nugget of information and now they're sleeping soundly at night. Closure like this only happens in movies. You'll have an easier time if you look at your own chart for answers.

Here's a benign example because so much time has passed: I had a Neptune transit in my 11th house (the house of friends) and when it was making a square (harsh aspect) to my Saturn, I made friends with a pathological liar. Normally I have a very robust bullshit detector, but at that specific time I was vulnerable and the guy was telling me stuff I wanted to hear. Like most insidious people, he made friends with all of my friends and was very firmly entrenched in most aspects of my life. A few people warned me about him, and I did not listen, because he made me feel heard and understood. Eventually the transit passed and I caught on to the fact that he was full of shit, and I felt stupid for having believed him. For a while I tried to figure out whether ANYTHING he ever said was true, but eventually I decided I didn't care. The last time I saw him, it looked an awful lot like he was a drug dealer, which I'd had rumors was the case. I pretended not to recognize him, since it heard been many years at that point since we'd spoken. I've actually never looked up his chart because I do not care, which says something, because I look EVERYONE up.

Also, the answer to "why" lies in my own chart: a door was open there. The energy was exactly right for me to meet someone like this and have this experience. I was salty about it for a while because I felt stupid, but it was a good learning experience and now I know the signs that someone is telling me something that's too good to be true. I say facetiously "don't join a cult" when Neptune is making aspects to a person's chart, but it's actually not that much of a joke. With Neptune active, you are more vulnerable than the normal amount to people telling you what you want to hear, even if it's not even a little bit real. Hindsight can be a real bitch if you're not aware that the probability of falsehoods skyrockets with an active Neptune.

I guess my point is that answers can be found in these cases, but not where you'd expect them, and not necessarily the answers you want to hear. But closure's an inside job.
