The North Providence Three – Larry, Moe and Curly - and the Saturn/Uranus Five

The scandal that has rocked North Providence involves three Town Council members, Joseph Burchfield, John Zambarano and Raymond Douglass III, who are accused of accepting bribes to vote in favor of construction of a super market. While I don’t have birth data (if you have it, please send it) for the accused their ages were given in newspaper reports as well as a timeline of events. The oldest of the three, Zambarano is 47 while the younger two, Burchfield and Douglas are 42. All were born in the turbulent 60’s during the rare conjunction of Pluto and Uranus in the sign of Virgo. The time line given for the events leading up to their arrest coincides with the first 4 oppositions between Saturn and Uranus that are triggering the degrees of the Uranus/Pluto conjunctions of the 60’s. What this means is that where Saturn and Uranus are in the sky today is touching where Pluto and Uranus were when these guys were born. It is called a transit and transits from the slower moving planets usually produce some life changing events. The first, in this series of five oppositions between Saturn and Uranus occurred on Election Day, November 12, 2008. On this day at a National League of Cities conference in Orlando, Fla., a North Providence official overhears a conversation about a bribe connected to the supermarket deal. The second opposition occurred on February 5, 2009. In late January, 2009 the FBI tapes an incriminating phone conversation. On February 9th in a taped phone call Zambarano promises a pay off and a part in future deals to “confidential source #1”. On February 10th the Town Council votes to approve a zoning change for the supermarket deal. After this Council meeting the FBI tails Zambarano as he meets with the developer’s lawyer presumably to collect the cash. Later he meets with his cohorts and the following day delivers 4K to the confidential source. The third opposition occurs on September 15, 2009. On October 14, 2009 the FBI records a conversation between Zambarano, Burchfield as they assure the confidential source they will include him in future extortions. The fourth opposition occurred on April 26, 2010 and it all hits the fan. The final opposition will happen on July 26, 2010 when we will probably see them in court. On that fateful February night when the deal went down transiting Neptune was at 23 degrees of Aquarius. Neptune, while at times very spiritual, can be about fraud and deceit. I will wager that Zambarano, who ran around collecting and distributing the cash, has natal Saturn at 23 Aquarius and that the 5 oppositions between Saturn and Uranus squarely hits the natal positions of Uranus and Pluto of all three. Pluto is all about power, control, and secrets. Uranus is about the sudden and unexpected and Saturn is about pay back. This sad tale is not over yet. Stay tuned and pay attention around the date of the final opposition, July 26th.
