crimsoncurrentEvent - Reign of Terror begins Thursday
T-SQ URANUS LEO/LILITH SQ JUPITER SCORPIO OPP PLUTO AQ
The Moon will oppose Pluto in Aquarius within a few degrees—symbolizing the tension between personal safety and collective upheaval.
what time approx was this - the National Convention in revolutionary France declared that “terror is the order of the day,” marking the start of a brutal period of political purges and mass executions.
The declaration that “Terror is the order of the day” was made by the National Convention on Thursday, September 5, 1793, during its daytime session, likely between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM local time in Paris.
This timing aligns with the Convention’s usual meeting hours and the presence of a large delegation from the Paris Commune, including Mayor Pache and Chaumette, who delivered a fiery petition demanding decisive action against internal enemies. The Convention responded swiftly, voting to authorize revolutionary force and laying the groundwork for the formation of revolutionary armies just two days later.
If you're charting this astrologically, you'd be looking at a Moon at 22–23° Cancer, approaching conjunction with Mars at 22° Cancer—a potent emotional trigger paired with militant action. The Ascendant around midday would be Libra rising, adding a veneer of justice to what was essentially the institutionalization of state violence.
It wasn’t a day of street fighting or gunfire in the capital itself.
That said, armed rebellion and executions were already underway in other parts of France—especially in the Vendée and federalist regions—where civil war and military commissions were active2. So while Paris was politically explosive, the literal gunfire was more likely happening in the provinces.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Starting Thursday on the 5th house cusp—especially in a chart with Cancer rising and Moon in Cancer—adds a rich layer of interpretive meaning. The 5th house governs expression, drama, collective emotion, and public spectacle, which fits eerily well with the Convention’s declaration of “Terror is the order of the day.”
Using Placidus houses and the chart for Sept 1, 1793 at 00:00 AM Paris LMT, the 5th house cusp lands at 15 L
Thursday begins symbolically when the Moon hits 27° Libra, or when the Sun crosses into the 5th house by progression.
Event Point is approx 8 degrees Scorpio square Mars at 8 Leo
Mars Degree Symbol - ''A Bolshevik Revolutionary''
An apt description for the time of the peak of the French Revolution.
Mars as Ruler of 11th and 6th
11th House (Legislation, Collective Will): Mars brings radical, possibly violent group action—think revolutionary militias or forced ideological conformity.
6th House (Labor, Public Health): Mars rules workforce mobilization, possibly under duress. Could point to militarized labor, conscription, or health crises driven by ideological fervor.
This conjunction in Leo in the 2nd house could represent:
A nation wounded in its pride and resources, trying to assert control through force.
The Reign of Terror’s economic purges, price controls, and confiscations—done with theatrical flair and moral justification.
A collective need to heal through reclaiming dignity, but doing so in ways that may deepen the wound before resolution.
-----------------------------------------------
Symbolic Polarity: Pisces MC vs. Virgo IC
Pisces MC / South Node: The fading dream, the mystical ideal, the chaotic past.
Virgo IC / North Node: The emerging reality, the rational purge, the bureaucratic future.
This axis could reflect the transition from revolutionary idealism to institutionalized terror—from emotional fervour to cold calculation. The public face (MC) still wears the mask of spiritual virtue, but the roots (IC) are now driven by meticulous control.
-------------------------------------------------------
Sun–Mercury–North Node Conjunct IC in Virgo
This is a powerful counterpoint:
IC = Roots, Homeland, Foundation: The conjunction here suggests that the new karmic direction (North Node) is grounded in Virgoan themes—analysis, purification, service, and practical reform.
Sun–Mercury = Conscious Messaging: The state’s foundational identity is being redefined through ideology and communication, possibly propaganda or rationalized terror.
North Node in Virgo = Evolution Toward Order: The collective is being pulled toward systematic control, bureaucratic efficiency, and moral purification—again, eerily fitting for the revolutionary tribunals and the Law of Suspects.
