Fidel Castro

1926-2016

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

official data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro

= 13 Aug 1926 near Birán, Cuba

Birth location in Cuba's Oriente district is not controversial. The date and timing of this rural homebirth to his mother, ateenage [15] kitchen maid, is open to question. Adding to the date uncertainty, Fidel Castro's wealthy but non-literate father was not married to his teenage mom when Fidel was born; the father denied parentage until Fidel registered for school at age 8.

As a public figure, Fidel Castro has been the subject of journalistic inquiry for decades. The present nativity reflects a birth timing for the officially provided birthdate of 13-Aug-1926 that can accommodate the biographical data points within a principled Jyotisha argument.

Rising Nakshatra

Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Kṛttikā - Pleyades

Agneya - Riksya - Karthika - Alcyone

BPL COMMENTARY

For Krittika births of a masculine valence, the condition of radiant, romantic, intelligent, creative, idealistic, central, confident, gaming, self-reflexive, pitrikaraka Surya may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the splendidly Surya-ruled paradigm of Riksya, father-figures, politicians, celebrity, royalty, entitled roles, brilliant dramatists, radiant deities, sparkling genius, glittering creativity, intelligentsia, speculators, poets, romantic lovers, gamblers, and game-players may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance provided by emissaries from the civilizations of the Pleyades. Their purpose is confidence-raising and light-bringing in creative pursuit of values fulfillment.

Radiant Certainty

Agneya-born gentlemen are often found in politics, in gambling and speculation, or in creative finance. Natural dramatists, riksya-born are brightly idealistic and self-directed seekers of attention.

Mesha pada 1 represents nakshatra-pati Surya's empowerment in romance and celebrity entitlements. In the rashi of Champion Mangala, sparkling Surya asserts radiant genius. Typically pada 1 are dramatists, politicians, royalty, celebrity, creative artists, and unique charismatic figures.

[Vrishabha - Urisha] -pada-2-3-4 express the tension between two-party bargainer Shukra versus one-party autocratic singular nakshatra-pati Surya. Often the intelligence of pada 2-3-4 is focused into the Values-fulfilling sectors of banking and finance, natural resource conservation, music, wines and perfumes, arts, and beauty. Depending on [Yogakaraka] Shani ruler of 9+10, the Vrishabha pada of Krittika have a stronger propensity toward government positions.

Themes of self-importance, individual entitlement, creativity, and confidence may contextualize Krittika's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Kṛttikā - Pleyades

Ideological partnerships * Soviet aid evaporated during Shani-Ketu bhukti

The Soviet systems collapsed in financial default after 1992, as a client stateof now-vanished Soviet Union, cuba was suddenly impoverished. Castro then forged a relationship with Hugo Chavez, the sympathetic ruler of Venezuela. Autocratic Chavez controlled Venezuela's international oil revenues. Cuba began receiving Venezuelan oil+cash in exchange for medical workers+sugar. Unfortunately, chavez suffered a premature death from cancer.

Venezuela's fragile single-export [oil] infrastructure began to collapse under pressure of bribery and military violence. FC's own decease soon followed, and Cuba's outside aid pipeline again vanished.

CAREER - SOBER SHANI

Security-focused, environmentalist, defensive, schooling, nationalized, agricultural

Shani in Bhava-4 resists changes to the local routines.

Pessimistic, rigid, restricting, minimalist defender of the Old Way of Life.

FC maintained Cuba's infrastructure at a minimal level that did not allow innovation or improvement, but that kept the wheels turning.

Roadways, vehicles, utilities-service infrastructure [electrical, water, transport] were sustained in an increasingly antiquated [Shani] condition due to insufficient resources [Shani] for development.

Cuba's famous frozen-in-time culture indicates FCC's imposed restrictions on the people's Way of Life. The old cars, the crumbling buildings, the hand-hewn fishing boats, the exhausting manual-labor farming = FCÇ's legacy of familiar, lawful, chronic insufficiency and limitation.

Most citizens accepted the rules, taking comfort in normalized, predictable poverty and enduring conditions of blockade.

[uchcha] Shani-4 casts an exceptionally potent and sustaining drishti into Ketu-6 ++ Mangala-10 ++ Budha-Surya-Shukra-1

Shani-Tula [uchcha] occupies [2nd-from-Chandra] suggesting that the second marriage would be change-resistant and stable

[Risk-rewarding Rāhu]

rajyalobha-karaka [ambition] -- picchala-karaka [slippery]

[for Karkata indriya-lagna]

check Budha + Budha-drishti to source Rahu's apparently explanatory, shimmering mirage of communicative flair

[wants to be a prestigious communicator, yet obsessed with privacy]

OUTCOMES - RISK-REWARDING RAHU

propaganda

[Rahu-12 occupies 10th-from-Chandra]

[Rahu in bhava-12] occupies the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking; 10th-from-Chandra

Rahu-12 may insinuate power-and-privilege due to knowing important people in foreign lands. Yet Rahu's pattern is always a high rise followed by a crashing fall.

FC cultivated patronage relationships with purportedly powerful leaders in the USs. He did not realize, or did not reveal, how insubstantial their power really was. When the USSR collapsed financially, cuba had no buyer for its primary export [sugar] was suddenly bereft of survival goods. Castro then built a patronage supply channel with oil-rich Venezuela, only to have it collapse too.

[Rahu-Mithuna] dictatorial, ambitious leadership characterized by bombastic radio speeches [Mithuna] and outrageous [Rahu] announcements

smokey oily Rahu in bhava-12-Mithuna * FC was an inveterate cigar smoker. The trail of oily aromatic smoke followed him everywhere. Yet for health reasons he quit smoking in 1985. After 1985, fC was apparently breathing more successfully, since his extraordinary verbal outflow was further increased.

Rahu-12 occupies 10th-from-Chandra-3 [poverty, injustice] Rahu-12 receives no drishti and thus Rahu's quest for privilege is uncontrolled and unimpeded.

Rahu-Mithuna

Early in his enduring regime, castro strategically seized all communications media

[Rahu the Seizer] . His self-declared rulership authority 10th-from-Chandra was then successfully reinforced by an intensive radio and print campaign of nationalistic propaganda.

Ruler of 3 = Budha-4 nationalism. Rahu-Mithuna-Puna developed and relentlessly broadcast a narrative of Castro's generosity, wisdom, globalism, and patriarchal benevolence [Guru activates Puna] thus supporting Rahu's favorite trajectory via the cult of personality.

At the end of his extraordinary and long-lasting dictatorial reign [longevity in power due to Shani] Fidel Castro passed the financial treasury and power of his position directly to his brother Raul Castro [Rahu-3] . For narcissistic personalities, the brother is an extension of the self r.

[Collapsing unshackling Ketu]

kavandha-karaka [headless] -- chidra-karaka [gaping] -- vasana-karaka [vacuum]

-- [liberating location for Ketu = papa-upagraha in maha-dusthamsha]

[for Karkata indriya-lagna]

check Guru + Guru-drishti to source Ketu's ungrounded convictions, disengaged belief

[unconcerned with sanctimonious quarrels]

[in a traumatized personality, may be unconcerned with dehumanizing crime]

[scatters the ideological conflicts]

[disengaged witness to doctrinal hypocrisies]

[liberated from disagreements within the faithful flock]

[disregard toward the complaints of the believers]

[adversaries accuse one of empty convictions]

[dismisses the pelvic ailments]

[apathetic toward philosophical arguments]

[may be passively fixated upon ambitiously messaging, instructional, commercial Rahu-Mithuna-12 symbolists, ancestor spirits, visionaries, astral wayshowers, abstractors, dreamers, private guides]

...

[bargaining-arranging Pūrvāṣāḍhā-3] [navamsha Ketu-Tula]

• [Ketu-Dhanus] philosophically dissociates from sacred convictions * odd professors * dissolves indoctrination * empty paradigm of belief *  dispersed worldview * martyr's faith * not limited by conventional beliefs * eccentric teachings * peculiar convictions * ignores restricted catechesis * releases a warm golden  cloud of broad inclusivity into the misty abyss

• [Ketu in classroom-6] forsaken by enemies [beneficial] * disregards criminal boundaries * absentee maternal relatives * dissolves limits on medications * ambivalent toward exploitations * disinterested in disagreement * disregards accusations * ignores the physicians * walks away from sickness * abandons suffering * vacuous conflicts * liberation via surrender of guilt-and-blame * unless other graha in 6, may prefer to live free from mother's relatives

OUTCOMES - EVACUATING KETU

Ketu resides in the emotionally sheltering 4th-from-Chandra, suggesting a chronic unrootedness and uncertainty of parentage . Also explains FC's trouble in school, despite his intelligence.
