The Astrology of Napoleon and Josephine Bonaparte
Description
In episode 143 astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield break down the relationship between famous historical figues, French Revolutionary Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Empress Josephine Beauharnais/Bonaparte.
First, we investigate Napoleon's chart and find his Leo Sun feeling fulfilled to be both the leader of armies and crowned royalty of France. With his Saturn in Cancer opposing the Moon in Capricorn, we see there was strictness growing up and little compassion for women and children but with a Venus/Neptune sextile, a romanticism persisted.
Looking at Josephine's chart, we found an equally tenacious Sun conjunct Mars, but in the sign of sensitive Cancer, severing ties with family was always going to be part of her story. A charming and lucky Venus conjunction to Jupiter provided her endless funds, but a Saturn in Taurus required harsh lessons in handling money - she experienced bankruptcy five times!
Together, Josephine's Neptune conjunct Napoleon's Sun denoted strong muse-like energy. This had Napoloeon losing himself in her while also causing confusion and mystery. A comfortable and relatable Venus trine to the Moon helped the two get along, and a mutual Venus sextile Saturn gave the relationship an incredibly strong and long-lasting foundation. But mutual Saturn/Mercury connections made communication tedious and serious. Their love letters lasted centuries, but what score did we give this notorious couple? Listen in to find out!
