Fidel Castro
Born on 13 August 1926 in Birán. Without a public birth time, no rising sign: here is what the date and place can calculate.
You and Fidel Castro
What you are trying to become
You do things large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
The Sun rules this sign: the only body in the chart that makes its own light. The brightest star of the constellation is Regulus, “the little king”.
You give in front of everyone. What you want back is to be truly looked at.
Why?
What you are trying to become, and what you need to be recognised for. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no. At home. What it governs runs without resistance — the ground where you do not have to force anything.
What settles you
You only really settle when everything is fine around you. A tension in the next room, and you feel it before you hear a word. So you smooth things over, you rephrase, you suggest.
Libra is the only sign of the zodiac that isn’t a living thing: it is an instrument. It weighs, and it stops only when both pans are level.
And then one evening someone asks what you wanted, you. You search for a long time.
Why?
What settles you and what puts you on alert, before any conscious decision. In Libra, it is measured against the other person. You adjust to whoever is across from you, until your own position blurs.
What draws you
What draws you is someone you can put your bag down with. You feed people, you remember small kindnesses, and you give before being asked.
Cancer begins at the June solstice, the day the Sun stops and turns back. The Moon rules this sign.
You love the way people protect, and you take it badly when that isn’t wanted.
Why?
What draws you in and what you offer — in love as in taste. In Cancer, it goes through who is present first. You protect before you explain, and you remember everything.
What gets you moving
You do not start fast, and you do not stop either. People can push you for a long time and get nowhere. Your anger takes months to come, and as long to leave.
Venus rules this sign. In its constellation shine the Pleiades, seven sisters to the Greeks, visible to the naked eye on winter nights.
Mars is in detriment in this sign. Your strength is holding on.
Why?
What you go after, and how you fight when you meet resistance. In Taurus, it takes the time it takes and it is not replayed. You commit late, then you do not revisit it. Opposite its home: adverse ground. What it governs takes deliberate effort — and is worth working for exactly that reason.
How you think
You think out loud, and you tell a story well. An idea, for you, gets defended on your feet, with gestures and a punchline.
You find it hard to change your mind in front of everyone.
Why?
How you think and speak — the pace, the level of detail, what you keep to yourself. In Leo, it is done large or not at all. You need it to be seen, and lukewarm stings more than a flat no.
