Paris terror attack leaves many dead



France has declared a national state of emergency and has closed its borders after at least 120 people were killed in gun and bomb attacks in Paris. Some 80 people are reported to have died at the Bataclan concert hall in central Paris. Gunmen took many hostages there before being overpowered by police. Others died in a reported suicide blast near the Stade de France and gun attacks on city centre restaurants. Seven attackers are reported killed.

The mundane horoscope of France is based on the formation of the Fifth Republic. "The Fifth Republic came into existence with the publication of the new Constitution in the Journal Officiel on 5 October 1958, in Paris. It is understood that the legislation creating the Republic came into effect at 00.00 hrs..." Campion, "The Book of World Horoscopes," p.167. [1]

It is well known to astrologers that progressed aspects to the Ascendant or MC are among the more important aspects for time analysis of a chart. Well timed national horoscopes like that of France offer us the opportunity to look at progressed aspects to angles. Notice that in the radix chart TNP Zeus [2vi] and Pluto [3vi]  form a quincunx aspect with the MC. Currently solar arc Pluto [0sc29] is again making a sharp quincunx to the MC [0ar29] forming a progressed Yod. The following extract from reference [2]  tells us that, among other things, Pluto rules terrorism.  

In an Ingress, Lunation or Eclipse chart (or for that matter even a national chart) stressful aspects to Pluto produce volcanoes, earthquakes, oil spills, fires, war, mudslide, avalanches, erosion and anything which involves widespread death and destruction. Power struggles and obsessions with power as well as terrorism, corruption and guerilla warfare may also be found.

But on its own  a slow moving solar arc progression does not explain why the terror attack took place on Nov.13. The timing of the incident comes from transit Mars which at 7 pm on Nov. 13, the time of the attack was within just one minute of arc [0li30]  opposite the MC[0ar29]. As mentioned earlier, solar arc Pluto was completing a  temporary Yod with its own natal position and the radix MC. Temporary Yods are known to operate in charts during fated events or circumstances beyond one’s control. Here the transit of Mars opposite the apex point (MC)  acted as the trigger to the Yod.





We must remember that in mundane astrology, the cardinal ingress of a planet is extremely significant. Just a day before the terror attack, transit Mars moved into Libra. A chart for the mundane event at Paris is shown here. Notice that it places a powerful Uranus-Pluto-Zeus T-square on the meridian axis. This is a combination linked to guns, violence and terror attacks.
