Let’s translate a de Beauharnais letter: Josephine to her son about fears concerning divorce.
When Napoleon was in his mid twenties, on the verge of greatness, he took over the care of an entire family ruined by the Revolution. The head of that family, Alexandre de Beauharnais, had been executed and he had been a great French patriot. The fact that Napoleon took great care of this fallen hero’s children says a lot about Napoleon. He was at first passionately in love with his wife who was 6 years older than he was.
Not too long into the marriage, he realized that the match wasn’t that terrific for him. He stuck with the marriage for 15 years until he viewed divorce as the only way to bring peace to France - through an alliance with one of the countries who were always starting up wars against him. Napoleon figured if one of his enemies’ heirs stood to gain France that the attacks would stop. Napoleon was wrong about that.
This letter shows the misery Josephine went through concerning this situation:
Dear Eugène,
Paris, this 10th of February [1808].
I write to you, my dear Eugene, because of the opportunity afforded to me by the departure of M. de Lauriston. I have wished to give you news of myself, but I have been continually prevented from doing so. At first, the return of the Emperor occupied me very much; then the care of my health, which has been for some time bad enough but which is beginning to recover. You can easily guess that I have had many sources of grief, and I still have the noises that ran during the absence of the Emperor that have not ceased upon his return and have, in this moment, more people gossiping about it than ever. (Napoleon’s affair with a Polish lady, M. Walewska, who became pregnant.)
It is true that their proclaimers have not been punished; on the contrary, it has been noticed that those who sought to deny these rumors have received a colder welcome.
For the rest, I leave it to Providence and the will of the Emperor; my only defense is my conduct, which I try to render irreproachable. I do not go out any more, I have no pleasure and I lead a life to which we are astonished that I can bend, having been accustomed to being less dependent and seeing a lot of people; I console myself by thinking that this is me submitting myself to the wishes of the Emperor. I see my stature drop every day while others increase in credit. All the favor is for Prince Murat and the princess his wife, for M. de Talleyrand and Berthier. You know that he will become your first cousin if he marries Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the Duchess of Bavaria; the request was made yesterday and accepted.
How thrones render one unhappy, my dear Eugène! I would sign tomorrow, without any trouble, abandoning everything. The Emperor's heart is everything to me. If I have to lose it, I have little regret for everything else; this is my only ambition and my heart as it is. I know that it is not with this frankness that one succeeds, and, if I could, like many others, be only fake, I would find myself much better off, but I prefer to keep my character. I at least have the esteem of myself. For you, my dear son, be always what you have always been; continue to make yourself worthy of the Emperor's friendship, and the future will be what it will be. I will never complain of my fate as long as you are happy and as long I am sure of your tenderness.
JOSEPHINE.

The Napoleon Memoirs keep mentioning the Danube so it feels right to post this.
TV is hypnotic poison.
When someone tries to elicit a knee jerk emotional reaction, that’s probably because someone is trying a manipulative trick.
What is the fifth house?
The fifth house in Astrology is the one associated with the Sun and Leo. It’s about creativity and pleasure.
The site associated with the screenshots above are here.
My fifth house is half in Leo and half in Virgo. The description of such is above.
The red dot is in the fifth house. I don’t have planets there but the ruling planets of the constellations there (Leo and Virgo) are the two planets (Sun and Mercury) in my 7th house, that of relationships associated with Libra (Venus).
I’m reading that the 5th house is about joy, pleasure and creativity. It’s also about fixing something that’s broken. What’s broken is that, the world is being lied to about a lot of things. What particularly concerns me is the wholesale deception that’s been happening to blacken the name of Napoleon since the beginning of his fame.
My other half is what you’d see in my seventh house which is in Scorpio - a badass warrior sign. Right there you’ll see Mercury (communication) and the Sun (Leo). My fifth house joy and creativity lives there.
Some group acts like turning off my numbers on all these platforms would discourage me and get me to quit showing the truth about Napoleon. Why would I stop doing what gives me joy? If I were after approval and numbers, I’d be acting like a lemming and selling my soul for nothing like so many others.
