David Cicilline a Rhode Island Kinda Guy

Yesterday David Cicilline formally kicked off his campaign for Congress. David Cicilline has a brother who is a convicted felon, a father who is a mob lawyer and he is gay. He’s a Rhode Island kinda guy, you know what I mean? Cicilline’s a Cancer with, I am fairly certain, a Leo Moon. Cancer’s love to nurture and be nurtured, they are sensitive and at times moody. His Leo Moon loves the spotlight. With Mercury in Cancer he speaks what he feels. David also has a wide, out of sign conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter. Saturn is strong in Capricorn. Saturn rules the father in a natal chart. His father is strong and powerful making a deep impression upon him but the relationship was not without problems. At the same time the relationship brought great benefits. A familiar conundrum many of us face. We have known for months that David Cicilline is running for Congress but the formal kick off is an important event and the chart for that time offers clues to how the campaign will go. Yesterday transiting Venus was sitting on top of David’s Sun. Venus is considered the “lesser benefic” bringing good fortune wherever she goes. Venus attracts. Venus is an important planet in David Cicilline’s natal chart. He leads with that Venus. Transiting Mars had just shifted gears moving from Leo to Virgo bringing a lot of energy to his Leo and Virgo planets. He is going to attract a lot of money, make important connections and put on a “really big show”. On Primary day transiting Mercury (the vote, the polls,) hugs his natal Pluto (power, control, masses of people) and transiting Pluto opposes his natal Mercury. He has a lot of action going on between his natal planetary positions and the current planetary positions, as all the candidates usually do and like Patrick Lynch, who is running for Governor, he has made his candidacy formal under the very powerful conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus. The planetary lineup on Primary Day indicates to me that that is where the action is. It is going to be an interesting day and not without a number of surprises. Cicilline is running with that energy. His opponents are Bill Lynch and David Segal with Anthony Gemma expected to join the race. This campaign season promises upsets, surprise and unexpected events. Stay tuned and keep your eye peeled for the proverbial monkey wrench.

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.
