El Commandante Fidel Castro Cuba - Barbara Pijan Lama Jyotisha Vedic Astrology

El Comandante

1926 -

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruiz - Strongman Leader of Cuba since 1959

Fidel Castro D1D1 for 13-Aug-1926 at 21:55 pm Biran Cuba

Fidel Castro's birth date and time are somewhat controversial.

The official date of birth = 13 Aug 1926 near Birán, Cuba.

Some claim that the correct data = 10h52, 27-Agosto-1927, in Mayuri, Oriente, Cuba; these, who grew up with the Castro family, claim that the official date was configured in order to make Castro appear a year older in order to get him into school at an earlier date. (Apparently he was a mini-tyrant at home!)

this nativity does quite work either .... Castro's oratorical skills are legendary, the correct nativity will show his remarkably long and engaging speeches....

Ketu in bhava-9 = Rahu in bhava-3

Ambivalence (Ketu) toward orthodox piety and father-figures + desire (Rahu) to be recognized as a messenger of powerful information

fidelito Notes

Fidel Castro was born the illegitimate third son of Angel Castro and Lina Ruz, a servant in the Castro household. Angel divorced Maria Castro and married Fidel's mother after Lina Ruz had had borne him seven children.

Castro was named after Fidel Pino Santos, a wealthy Oriente-district politician and friend of Don Ángel. The Castro children remember their father as a beneficent rich man, owner of a sugar plantation who looked after the welfare of his workers and also a man of extraordinarily violent temper; traits he appears to have passed on to son Fidel.

"My vocation is the revolution. I am a revolutionary, and revolutionaries do not retire."Castro has stubbornly remained dictator of Cuba despite dissension in the ranks and numerous attempts to unseat him.

The above D-1 and D-9 are somewhat speculative,

Birth location in Cuba's Oriente district is not controversial, but timing of this homebirth to an obscure, unwed house servant in a rural farm area, is undoubtedly somewhat vague. However, an illegitimate birth, in the caste society of his day, is consistent with Neechcha Guru in 10, public reputation

Rahu in bhava-3 would indicate the passion of his incredibly long-winded radio speeches.

Although Castro's Vimshottari dasha is not based on a verified birth time, it is perhaps reasonably close to accurate. Some proof of near-accuracy is displayed in the Vimshottari timeline of his life events, below.

Even with an uncertain birth time, it is still a valuable Jyotisha exercise to measure predictive expectations against what really happens in the material world.

Marriages:

two marriages, several additional children from non-avowal mothers, one 30-yr companion never married,
