S1 Ep14: John and Lorena Bobbitt

In 1993, Lorena Bobbitt grabbed a kitchen knife, severed her husband's penis, and tossed it out the window of her car, and suddenly, their names were everywhere. But behind the tabloid frenzy was a brutal story of alleged abuse, control, and a woman pushed to her breaking point. In this episode, we revisit the explosive timeline, the media circus that mocked Lorena's trauma, and the courtroom chaos that followed. We also explore how John's Aries Sun, Leo Moon, and Gemini Rising clashed with Lorena's intense Scorpio Sun and Moon. Two charts destined for volatility, power struggles, and emotional combustion.   SHOW NOTES: Connect with us across streaming platforms and social media, and explore ways to support our work through our Linktree.
