What makes Ed Gein such a great example?

There are some remarkable connections from Ed Gein's parents' birthcharts to his own. Maybe this would not surprise astrologers, but bearing in mind his desire to be his mother [as with the Silence of the Lambs killer known as 'Buffalo Bill'], Ed Gein shares his mother's Mercury and Mars, very closely, and his North Node is on her South Node. They are not just all in Leo, but his Node is 2 degress from her node, his Mars is 2 degrees from her Mars, and his Mercury is only half a degree from her Mercury. Her Venus conjuncts a degree from his Pluto, which is a degree from being on his Ascendant, and his North Node on her South Node are both conjunct His Dad's Sun - all the more remarkable as this is where Pluto was transiting when he started raiding graveyards.

The chart shown is the birth of Ed Gein, with the birth of his mother as transits.
