Rhode Island State Primary

The Rhode Island State Primary elections take place on September 9, 2014.  This is the all important day when the public decides which candidate from each party will stand for that party in the November elections. This year there are four running on the Democrat side and two on the Republican side.  A look at the planetary positions on that day provides a clue to the outcome.

The Moon in mundane astrology, the astrology of world events, rules the public, public opinion and the overall mood of the public.  As the polls open Moon travels through late Pisces.  Folks are sensitive, intuitive and not often clear under this Moon.  This Moon is great for artists as it fuels the imagination.  Issues can be clouded while Moon moves through Pisces.  Moon goes Void of Course at 3:09 PM, meaning it makes its last aspect to another planet before moving into a new sign.  This period is a time of uncertainty.  Things begun now don’t turn out as expected. At 7:33 PM the Moon moves into action orientated Aries.  People want to move and are prone to impulsive action while Moon is in Aries.

Mercury which rules the vote and the voting process is in Libra that day. At 6:39 PM Mercury makes an all important aspect to Pluto in Capricorn.  Pluto is all about power and control.  A slow mover; aspects to it generate large groups of people.  The indication here is a much larger turnout than expected. This also marks a turning point in the day reinforced by the Moon at the critical 29th degree.

Also  on September 9th Mars and Saturn, the two bad guys of the Zodiac are in a wide conjunction in Scorpio.  Mars energy often brings trouble and strife. Saturn wants to maintain order and keep everyone on the straight and narrow. This Mars at 27 Scorpio impacts all the Democratic candidates, three of the Democratic candidates have their Sun posited between 24-26 of the fixed signs, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio. The fourth candidate has Mars in Leo on those degrees.
When all is said and done, the big deal of the day is that Mercury/Pluto square.  Mercury in Libra talks sweet and politely but when joined with Pluto the gloves come off and the talk gets down and dirty. This is an aspect of mental intensity, persuasive speech and arguments that range from passive to aggressive.  It’s best not to talk politics with strangers because folks take it personal if you disagree with them.

The planetary aspects are unsettling that day. All the candidates are impacted both positively and negatively so it is a difficult call.  Surprise and the unexpected are key words for this day. Leading up to the primary things will get ugly.  Politicians beware; the public has had it with ugly.
