Pluto in Aquarius + Saturn in Aries

In 1792, the then-governing body of the French Revolution, the National Legislative Assembly, approved the use of the guillotine for executions. Pluto was in Aquarius, and Saturn was in Aries. This energetic set-up may look familiar, since Pluto is currently in Aquarius, and Saturn moves into Aries next month.
