The Astrology Series: What about Leo?
Leo, like many other things, makes me think of Napoleon. He was born August 15. He had a proud sort of needy for attention kind of thing. He was big and strong and he had no problem putting himself first. Yet he was really protective of those he loved. He had that charisma. That’s how I view Leo. Having said that, even from a short look at Napoleon’s natal chart, he has a lot of other energies playing significant roles as well. I’m really looking forward to going through his chart to see if it resembles his personality.

For more, click here. The cusp of Leo is in the 4th house (Moon, home). How would that come across? Since a lot of my Leo is also in the 5th house, I’ll show what that should look like as well.
For the site associated with the information above, click here. I don’t have any planets in Leo. The description of the above seems to say pride and family. I would associate pride with my family, particularly my parents. My father was frequently puffing himself up telling people he was a Leo as if it were some kind of accomplishment to be born in the month of August. I’ll leave it at that. Leo doesn’t seem very important in this chart. Except Leo’s ruler, the Sun, is in Scorpio (Mars, Pluto) in the 7th house of relationships. You may enjoy the video below:

From my Soundcloud that I actually pay for
To the best of my knowledge, my Soundcloud account got 5 listens and 8 likes in the last 24 hours. I used to get 1,000s of views on Linkedin but since I helped expose politicians recruiting for NXIVM, my average views are around 15. On Youtube, 2 views a day is about average for me. My Wikipedia was taken down. Do with that information what you will. Fraud may be technically legal but . . . it would be very serious if various platforms are conspiring to deceive the public about my work that I do to better humanity at my own expense. Most human beings would find the implications of that highly telling.

Memoirs of Savary about Napoleon, Part 2, 200-end of Book 1
Napoleon was such a badass all the time.

Who was the Duchess de Montebello?
I have deeply enjoyed sharing my passion for the Napoleon saga with the public. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone, friend and foe, who has taken this wild ride with me.
I started becoming entranced with the Napoleon story when I read a love letter by Napoleon in the 90s. The first time I read something about this man, I was blown away to see my very own personality in someone who on an obvious level was my total opposite.
The books kept bringing up that people just assumed he was having an affair with his stepdaughter Hortense back in their day. I had to know if this was true. This led to a year at the Sorbonne in Paris where I was just by myself in Napoleon museums most of the time that I wasn’t in school. I started having flashbacks which shocked me. Most of the memories were of the Bonaparte family. Having been told that I’m a weirdo since my earliest days, I just went with it. I had given up conforming long before that time.
The subject of Napoleon was too vast to comprehend, I felt, so I just got stuck on Hortense’s Memoirs. I knew she was honest and that I could believe that she was authentic. All these years later, nothing has shaken that. She is actually extremely harsh towards Napoleon. Now that we’re broadcasting the memoirs, I can tell the other memoirists are angry with her for going so hard on him.
Regarding Hortense and Napoleon, most of the memoirs say that they were not having affair but that Napoleon was showing her too much favor and that Napoleon’s brother Louis (her husband) had cause to be as upset as he was about the situation.
I also created a play based on Napoleon’s valet’s memoirs. I found him totally credible but I stayed stuck in Hortense and Marchandland because I felt I could trust them.
My art project was conceived, in part, as an effort to show what Napoleon (and Hortense) were really like. They were extremely giving and exceptionally focused on promoting culture. It really bothered me how the great work of these people had been turned into grotesque caricatures by the whoever it is that sets the tone on what the public gets to see and perceive.
Finally, through broadcasting the memoir series, I’m able to find out who all these people were that came up in Hortense’s memoirs. All the memoirs need to be taken in together to get the real story about Napoleon.
Hortense really didn’t like a lot of people. A lot of people didn’t like her either. She tries to be fair but her memoirs are overflowing with this reality. It has been so interesting to see the portraits fill in on the various personalities that Hortense was grumbly about.
Lets start looking at these people that Hortense dished about in her memoirs. Let’s start with the Duchess de Montebello.
In the memoirs of Hortense, the Duchess de Montebello is the wife of Marshall Lannes who kind of hates and resents Napoleon. She blames him for the death of her husband and the father of her many children.
Napoleon made a political marriage to Marie Louise of Austria and true to Napoleon fashion, he obsessed over every detail. He knew this princess was raised to hate him and she was being forced to marry him. He tried to get her to love him. When it came time to choose Marie Louise’s main lady in waiting (dame d’honneur), he chose the Duchess de Montebello.
The reasoning was that a royal type would poison Marie Louise against Napoleon and the regular people. He felt that it was an appropriate homage to Lannes to offer his widow this honor.
The Duchess de Montebello was over the “honor” before it even began. Since this woman was practically the only person who didn’t make a fuss over the super important new Empress Marie Louise, Marie Louise being at the level that she was at became fixated on getting this “nobody’s” approval.
The following is from Hortense’s memoirs.
This is from during the 100 days when Marie Louise refused to return to Napoleon with their son. Marie Louise’s servant was in Paris.
“The servant was asked what letters he had brought with him to deliver. There was only one for the Duchesse de Montebello, and he had not dared hand this over to the Emperor because he knew it contained this sentence "I am closely watched, but you who know my opinions know how unnecessary this is."”
So Marie Louise was married to the greatest man in the world and all she cared about was sucking up to this military man’s wife - because this woman couldn’t care less about her and didn’t hide it.
Strange but true.

The Astrology Series: What is the sign Cancer?
When I think of the sign Cancer, it’s the crab that moves around in a sidewinding way and its so into its home and security that it lives in a big hard shell. I know I’ve seen crabs bury themselves with little effort into sand. Crabs are more at home in water than outside of it and they will bite if you get too close.

The red arrow shows where Cancer is in my natal chart. If you’d like to find your own, try astro.com. I looked a bit into my chart around 10 years ago searching for answers why circumstances are persistently difficult for me despite all of my ceaseless efforts to push through. This placement of Saturn in Cancer with all of these highly tense connections to other planets screamed out at me that this may have something to do with it.
For more about the generational placement of Saturn in Cancer, click here. The sign Cancer is straddling mostly the 3rd house but also the 4th. What’s going on with that?
I have a cardinal grand cross with Saturn in Cancer all alone down there. This might reflect my immense efforts and total frustration regarding results.
I have a finger of God AKA, a yod pointing at my Saturn in Cancer. This demonstrates a blockage and Saturn somehow is supposed to show the way out. To compound a WTF astrological situation, the yod also contains Venus, my chart ruler, near my midheaven making a tense oppositional aspect to that afflicted Saturn in Cancer. Not only that but this big Pluto Saturn conjunction that has been happening and will align 1/12/2020 is opposite my Saturn in Cancer. On top of all that, this Saturn Pluto alignment also squares my natal Pluto placed in the house of daily work (6th). That means death and rebirth transformation, big time. All of these placements are saying big change. If astrology is real, this has been impacting me and it will impact me further.
The arrows show where Saturn and Pluto are aligning around my natal midheaven and Venus in Capricorn opposing my natal Saturn in Cancer. My moment of destiny could be at hand based on what this information is telling me. We’ll see.
