 Rick Lazio - StarIQ.com
Lazio’s transformation from a gentle, sweet-faced minnow to a hungry, overwrought shark can be seen in the combination of his Sun in Pisces and Moon in Capricorn.
Aries Digs In While Saturn certainly contributed to Lazio’s seeming ruthlessness during the first debate, his sudden switch into attack mode can be seen not only in the cold Capricorn Moon and Mars, but in the position of Mercury, the planet of communication, in Mars-ruled Aries, a sign characterized by aggression, arrogance and directness.
If he learns the hard lessons of the past month, Lazio could prove to be a worthy contender for the job of New York senator.  Otherwise, election day—which has transiting Mercury conjunct his Jupiter, and transiting Venus conjunct Saturn—will simply turn out to be just another day for Rick Lazio.
