Fidel Castro

El Comandante

b. 13 Aug 1926 * d.

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruiz

Dictator of Cuba, 1959 -

"A proud and arrogant disposition,

• with a tendency to ride roughshod over other peoples' opinions.

Uttara natives are extremely intelligent

but because of their inordinate pride ,

• they accept favors ungraciously even when in need

and are ungrateful to those from whom they receive these favors."

Notes on Narcissistic Personality development

Fidel Castro = illegitimate third son of Angel Castro. His mom Lina Ruz was a servant in the Castro household. (Chandra-Kanya)

Sr. Angel Castro 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. Faced with severe health issues in old age, he passed the autocracy to his brother Raoul (a classic narcissistic action) with whom he enjoys a very close relationship and nearly complete political agreement.

Birth location in Cuba's Oriente district is not controversial, but timing of this homebirth to his mother, who was at the time an socially invisible house servant in a rural farm area, is undoubtedly somewhat vague.

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.
