Napoleon III (April 20, 1808 – January 9, 1873)

Not in a million years would I have thought that Napoleon III would return as an Israel Prime Minister.

If it is a true past-life match, much can be learned from this case of Napoleon III and Ariel Sharon. I have stated repeatedly that we change religious and ethic orientation from lifetime to lifetime. Well, Napoleon III was Christian, while Sharon is a Jew. The advantage of living in diverse religions and ethnic groups is that in successive incarnations, we can experience variety in our lives. Life would not be as interesting if we did not have various ways to worship God and live life. Religions and ethnic cultures are indeed beautiful creations, the product of the work of multiple generations.

Unfortunately, rather than being creations to enjoy, religions and ethnic cultures have become foci of separation and division. The mistake we make is that we forget our true nature, that we are souls who reincarnate many times into many different religions and cultures. We forget who we are and then we over-identify with one particular religion, ethnic group, race, culture, or nation. This is the great misunderstanding of humanity, which leads to misguided action, to violence and war. It is a great waste of life.

His birth chart is a wonder to behold. If ever there was a revolutionary, this man was it. Remember, he was the 1st French President. (The clues to his personality are those two inconjuncts from Uranus to Mercury and Venus @ 2° Aries, and the two oppositions from that same planet to the Sun and Mars @ 29° Aries.)

By the time of his death (here set at 12 noon), Napoleon III had only one inconjunct left, connecting Venus and Uranus. That may have been the overarching quality of his next life.

Ariel Sharon (February 26, 1928 – January 11, 2014)

Ariel Sharon was a fighter, not a lover.

Sharon was a commander in the Israeli Army from its creation in 1948. As a soldier and then an officer, he participated prominently in the 1948 Palestine war, becoming a platoon commander in the Alexandroni Brigade and taking part in many battles, including Operation Bin Nun Alef. He was an instrumental figure in the creation of Unit 101 and the reprisal operations, as well as in the 1956 Suez Crisis, the Six-Day War of 1967, the War of Attrition, and the Yom-Kippur War of 1973. Yitzhak Rabin called Sharon “the greatest field commander in our history”

The reason? His people at the time of Genghis Kahn were wiped out and their villages destroyed.

This time there are three distinct inconjuncts, linking the Moon and Saturn, Mars and Uranus, Jupiter and the Ascendant. I won’t delineate these aspects, because my purpose here is to show how oddly connected he and Napoleon III are.

Yesterday, when I looked at these three charts together, I thought, “Is Ahtum Re mistaken?” I couldn’t see what made their lives a continuing line of men in leadership positions. Today, I do. Interesting.

Sharon’s Moon is conjunct Napoleon III’s natal South Node and his ‘fatal’ Pluto; Sharon’s Part of Fortune is midpoint between Napoleon III’s ‘fatal’ Sun and Saturn conjunction; Sharon’s Neptune is conjunct Napoleon III’s ‘fatal’ Jupiter; Sharon’s Mercury is conjunct Napoleon III’s ‘fatal’ Venus (a-ha).

And as a subtle touch: Sharon’s Ascendant is opposite Napoleon III’s ‘fatal Ascendant (also set for noon) and conjunct his natal Part of Fortune. Even Sharon’s Uranus is conjunct with the Mercury/Venus conjunction in Napoleon III’s birth chart. That would make Napleon III’s natal Uranus also inconjunct to Sharon’s Uranus. So, yes, these two men are connected.

But who exactly was Sharon? The acerbic Israeli commentator, Uri Avnery, describes Sharon as an “Israeli Napoleon”, the ultimate integration of personal and national egocentrism. What was good for Sharon was good for national interest – and whoever wanted to stop him had to get out the way for Sharon, and Sharon alone, could save Israel.
