This is part of a series of letters between Napoleon’s stepdaughter Hortense and her dear brother, Eugene. When we last left off, Hortense had begun to fulfill public duties as Queen of Holland but all she really wanted was to go back to Paris [where Napoleon was].
Hortense writes.
Dear Eugene,
[Mayence],
Werdnesdsy, July 30 [1806] (1).
I began to be very sad, my dear Eugène, not to hear from you. Mom, who is still lazy, hadn't written to me since I left, so the need to believe that people still think of me was very strong that it was starting to affect me.
Fortunately, yesterday I received a letter from Mom and two from you. What a joy if we can all be together in a month! I hope that the pregnancy of my sister-in-law will not prevent her from making the trip (2).
I am sure that we will love each other very much; since it would make you happy, you cannot doubt all the feelings she already inspires in me. We have been in Mainz for ten days and we go every morning to take the waters at -
(1) King Louis, having decided to take the waters of Wiesbaden, left the Château du Bois with the Queen from the 19th of July to Mayence where they arrived the 20th and where they settled in the palace,
(2) Princess Augustus was due to give birth in Milan on March 14, 1807 to her eldest daughter, Josephine, who later became queen of Sweden.
- Wiesbaden; they are a little strong and tire me a lot; but it is said to be the usual effect and on people and that it is a good. I have Napoleon (1) with me; you wouldn't recognize him if you knew how nice he is.
He is already a man; he never leaves me, he keeps me company; I think with sorrow that, when he’ll be seven years old, he will have to be separated from me; for you know that, according to the Emperor's decree, our children must be brought up in Meudon; but before seven years we keep them (2).
I think that when that time comes, I will also go board with them. My little Louis stayed in The Hague (3); he is also doing very well and is becoming very nice.
Farewell, my dear Eugène, my best friend, I love you and embrace you with all my heart.
HORTENSE.

NAPOLEON.
Cela fait partie d'une séries de lettres entre la belle-fille de Napoléon Hortense et son cher frère, Eugene.
Quand nous nous sommes arrêtés pour la dernière fois, Hortense avait commencé à remplir des fonctions publiques de reine de Hollande, mais tout ce qu'elle voulait vraiment était de retourner à Paris [où Napoléon était].
Hortense écrit.
Let’s look at the planetary transits the day Hortense wrote this letter. Pluto (death) is passing over her place of others, the descendant. Her son, in the letter above, is described like her little partner and he is about to die in a short time. Hortense’s intense passion about her sons and Napoleon may be on display in Hortense’s 5th house. This Sun ruled house is about creativity and creativity includes one’s passions and children. Hortense has a stellium (planet alignment) of Mars (violence), Pluto (death) and Jupiter (expansion) opposite (in a difficult aspect) with the Moon which is in Cancer (Moon/emotions). Chiron (wounding) is about to pass through that space.
Regardons les transits planétaires le jour où Hortense a écrit cette lettre. Pluton (la mort) passe sur sa place aux autres, la descendante. Son fils, qu'elle dit dans la lettre ci-dessus, est comme si son petit partenaire allait mourir dans peu de temps. La passion intense d'Hortense pour ses fils et Napoléon peut être exposée dans la 5e maison d'Hortense. Cette maison dirigée par le soleil est une question de créativité et la créativité inclut ses passions. Hortense a un stellium de Mars (violence), Pluton (mort) et Jupiter (expansion) en face (sous un aspect difficile) avec la Lune qui est en Cancer (Lune / émotions). Chiron (blessé) est sur le point de traverser cet espace.
Potentially disturbing Uranus and frigid Saturn are passing over Louis Bonaparte’s descendant - his area of others. Like his unhappy wife Hortense, Louis also has Mars (violence) in the 5th house associated with creativity and children. This house is ruled by the Sun.
Louis and Hortense are about to lose their precious son. Hortense’s Chiron (wounding) is about to transit her natal Pluto (death). Louis’s Chiron is about to also pass over his natal Pluto - and his (Moon/emotion).
Uranus potentiellement troublant et Saturne glacial passent au-dessus du descendant de Louis Bonaparte - sa région des autres. Comme sa malheureuse épouse Hortense, Louis a aussi Mars (violence) dans la 5e maison associée à la créativité et aux enfants. Cette maison est dirigée par le Soleil. Louis et Hortense sont sur le point de perdre leur précieux fils. Chiron d'Hortense (blessée) est sur le point de traverser son Pluton natal (mort). Le Chiron de Louis est sur le point de passer également sur son Pluton natal - et son (Lune / émotion).
This is the chart of Hortense’s son who will soon lose his life. Pluto (death) has been slowly transiting Napoleon Charles’ natal Pluto in Pisces (Neptune/spirit realm). Little Napoleon’s Midheaven (reputation) has no planets in his Midheaven. This area is in Capricorn (limitation) being transited by Chiron (wounding).
During his life, little Napoleon was the heir to the French throne. Jupiter (foreign matters) is about to enter Napoleon’s Capricorn (structures) at this Midheaven (reputation). His death (Saturn/Capricorn) would change the entire course of world history (Jupiter).
Emperor Napoleon would resolve on divorce based on this death and Napoleon’s second marriage was the downfall of Napoleon and the death of his ability to serve humanity as a leader.
Voici la carte du fils d'Hortense qui va bientôt perdre la vie. Pluton (mort) a lentement transité Pluton natal de Napoléon Charles en Poissons (Neptune / royaume des esprits). Le Milieu du Ciel du Petit Napoléon (réputation) n'a pas de planètes dans son Milieu du Ciel. Cette zone est en Capricorne (limitation) transité par Chiron (blessé). Au cours de sa vie, le petit Napoléon a été l'héritier du trône français. Jupiter (matières étrangères) est sur le point d’entrer dans le Capricorne de Napoléon (structures). Sa mort (Saturne / Capricorne) allait changer tout le cours de l'histoire du monde (Jupiter). L'empereur Napoléon résoudra le divorce sur la base de cette mort et le deuxième mariage de Napoléon fut la chute de Napoléon et la mort de sa capacité à servir l'humanité en tant que leader.
A lot of what I’m making a case for in this project is that Napoleon really wanted to be married to his stepdaughter and marrying her to his brother and adopting their child was his best attempt to mimic the situation of the family with her that he really wanted. Napoleon wanted to divorce Hortense’s mother, Josephine. Obligating Hortense to become his sister in law was his way of “keeping her” despite the fact that there was no way for them to really join together as a couple while he ran France and Josephine was alive.
Napoleon’s brother Louis and Hortense have Chiron (wounding) transiting around their natal Pluto (death). Napoleon has Pluto transiting his natal Chiron in Pisces (spirit). Chiron had just transited Napoleon’s natal Pluto (death) in Capricorn (limitation). We can see a painful transformation here.
Une grande partie de ce que je plaide pour ce projet est que Napoléon voulait vraiment être marié à sa belle-fille et l'épouser avec son frère et adopter leur enfant était sa meilleure tentative pour imiter la situation de la famille avec elle qu'il voulais vraiment. Napoléon voulait divorcer de la mère de Hortense, Joséphine. Obliger Hortense à devenir sa belle-sœur était sa façon de la «garder» malgré le fait qu'il n'y avait aucun moyen pour eux de vraiment se réunir en couple pendant qu'il dirigeait la France et Joséphine était en vie.
Le frère de Napoléon, Louis et Hortense ont Chiron (blessés) transitant autour de leur Pluton natal (mort). Napoléon fait transiter par Pluton son Chiron natal en Poissons (esprit). Chiron venait de transiter Pluton natal de Napoléon (mort) en Capricorne (limitation). Nous pouvons voir une transformation douloureuse ici.
