Frank Caprio, Campaign funds and the 2010 General Election

The Providence Journal has been conducted an inquiry into General Treasurer Frank Caprio’s political fundraising and discovered that he had received funds from the national litigation firm Grant and Eisenhofer a firm that had been awarded state business. Caprio has returned the funds from employees of this firm and others that may be involved with state business. The question is would he have returned it if the Journal had not started the inquiry. Does he, Frank Caprio or the Rhode Island people believe that these firms would donate money to a campaign fund out of the goodness of their hearts? Frank Caprio is a 60’s baby with the powerful Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo opposite Saturn in Pisces. Today the opposition between Saturn and Uranus is reversed with Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces. Saturn represents the status quo, the traditional, the structure and foundation of society while Uranus signifies the radical, the new, and the innovative. When things get rigid and hide bound, Uranus comes along and says, “OK, time for a change. “ If you’re ready and willing to change it’s easy, if not, sudden events force you to change and sometimes it can be quite unpleasant. We see the polarity playing out in society now, with the health care issue symbolizing the great divide between Saturn and Uranus. Frank Caprio has this opposition hitting him on a very personal level. His reality, things he thought would never change are changing. With Sun, Mars and Mercury in Taurus, he is a Taurus’ Taurus. Taurus is fixed and can be stubborn. When Taurus digs in, it takes a powerful force to move the Bull off that perch. This firmness of purpose has benefits when one has to stick to a project through to completion but can be a drawback when old outmoded ways need changing. By the same token, due to current transits, Frank Caprio will surprise those around him by taking sudden, unexpected action. He will act and react in unanticipated ways. Taurus does like the good life and the things that money can buy but they have a code of conscious and are loyal and faithful to their friends and their causes. By the time of the 2010 election, Saturn will have moved on into Libra, while Uranus remains along his Saturn/Uranus/Pluto axis. Jupiter joins this party. Jupiter signifies expansion, the large and the grand. Jupiter, while called the “Greater Benefic” does not always signify good things, just lots of it, whatever it may be. With unpredictable Uranus in the picture, that is just what it is, unpredictable. With Uranus, if you can think of it, that’s not it. Other factors on that day indicate a lot of work with women, tact and diplomacy playing a big part. In the meantime, tune in around the first week of November 2009, Caprio will be in the headlines again.
