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.

Jim Langevin, Elizabeth Dennigan, and 2010 Election

Jim Langevin is a Taurus, Dennigan's polar opposite. Anyone that views Jim Langevin as a victim or a pushover is in for a rude awakening. A Taurus, the never give up sign, with Sun conjunct Jupiter, he has strength and perserverance. Mars, the how we use our energy, or action planet, is at home in Aries. A strong Mars. This guy is a fighter and he will welcome, indeed relish the challenge Dennigan presents. Also, like fellow Democrats, Lynch and Kennedy, he is a sixties baby with the powerful Uranus/Pluto conjunction in his natal chart. That sixties energy of reform, revolution and change is innate. This election cycle is going to be a long slog for both these candidates. They are both fixed signs and have the necessary stamina to see it through. Dennigan, with Mars in Aquarius, is a revolutionary as well. They each share the desire to serve and change the status quo. It will be interesting to watch as they face off against one another as they espouse the same causes from opposite view points. The public would be well advised to pay attention as they will be well educated about the issues with the airing of these opposing view points.

Jim Langevin, Elizabeth Dennigan and 2010 Election

Between the Governor's race and Elizabeth Dennigan's challenge for the House seat of Jim Langevin, this election cycle will be exciting and interesting. People already are hyper aware of what is going on in politics because of the economy and the health care issue. No candidate should make the mistake in thinking that they are going to skate. Elizabeth Dennigan is a Scorpio, with Mercury, Saturn, Moon and Venus in that sign as well. This lady sees with xray vision and her position on the Finance Committe suits her well. Scorpio rules debt, interest rates, loans and the like. She was elected in 1996, just before the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction which happens every 14 years or so. This is interesting because she was born with just this conjunction in Cancer. State Party Primaries take place on September 14, 2010 and it is do or die time for her. On that day, Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct in Pisces making a nice, easy, juicy aspect to her natal configuration. This will give her a huge boost. Uranus is strong in her chart. Uranus rules the unexpected, unusual and innovative. She could very well upset the Democratic Party applecart.
