The 5:24 AM time checks out with many of the events you provided. For example:

Your parents divorced when you were around 5 years old. In 1973, transiting Uranus went stationary on your Descendant, went retrograde and crossed it a 2nd time, then went direct again and crossed it a third time. That would suggest divorce if you had been old enough, but when things like that happen in a child's chart, the parents usually absorb that aspect.

When you were 6 years old, Solar Arc Saturn was conjunct your Ascendant. Look at Saturn in the chart and count 6 degrees. Now remember, Saturn is 17*59' which is essentially 18 degrees. 18 to 23*27' is 5 1/2 degrees. Because you were born in the mid Spring, the Solar Arc is a little slower, so that would bring us to 6, that's when your parent's divorced and there was probably a lot of moving for them and, like you said, you, too.

April of 1987, Solar Arc Pluto was within approaching orb of a square to your Midheaven. When a Solar Arc is within 30 minutes of exact (peregrine) it is considered to be in affect.

Also in 1987, Transiting Neptune was conjunct your Midheaven at the same time. This is usually a time of ego-wipe out. It might have been a very difficult and depressiing time, but there may have been some artistic overtones or opportunities that came along with it. Some feelings of suppression and shame that might have taken a while to shake off. And an important time of psychological development having to do with you and your father as well as your father on his own.

The year 1990 may have beeen full of surprising career changes because Transiting Uranus was crossing your Midheaven also.

1995 - Did your chronic health issues pop up at this time as well? Transiting Neptune was squaring your Ascendant back and forth that year.

Did you fall in love for the 1st time when you were 14 going on 15? Solar Arc Venus conjunct Sun.

There are so many more events, unfortunately it takes a lot of work and I don't have a lot of time, but that's how you rectify a chart, you have to test the angles (Ascendant/Descendant axis and Midheave/IC Axis) over and over again with rock solid events. That usually means testing the angles with Solar Arc conjunctions, squares and Quindeciles and Transits to the angles also. If you test them with the outer planets, you will get very strong events when those measurements are EXACT!!

Also, the Sun/Moon (the slash automatically means MIDPOINT) is extremely sensitive to Solar Arcs and hard transits. I suspect there was some kind of break up with you and/or your parents (or one of your parents) when you were 9 or 10 years old. That is when Solar Arc Saturn was conjunct your Sun/Moon. With this birth time your Sun/Moon is at 28 degrees Aries.

Let me know if any of these things ring true. I saved your divorces for you. Take a look at the Solar Arcs of Pluto and Uranus to your Descendant around the time of your divorces. Even if they don't match up exactly to the day of divorce, they should match up to the day that the relationship issues came to a head and you knew it was over.

Let me know if any of this rings true.

I cast a very strong vote for your birthtime being 5:24 AM.

And don't forget, with Solar Arcs, people born after the first day of spring, the Arc slows down so by the time you are 30, your Arcs have only reached 29. By the time you're 60 the Arc is only at 58.

At this point, it's not about "feeling" like you "could" be an Aries Rising. These tests show that YOU ARE! Because it's not just about your Descendant now, it's about your Midheaven and your Moon and your Sun/Moon Midpoint. They all check out.

Welcome to the planet, Miss Aries Ascendant 23*27 and Capricorn MC 9*15.

Wow, as I'm reading through all these check outs, it's blowing my mind a little bit, too.

Around Christmas of 2000, Solar Arc Uranus was approaching opposite your Sun/Moon Midpoint. The Sun/Moon is just as important as any planet. It is a relationship point. Usually romantic relationships, but relationships in general.

Also, Solar Arc Moon was conjunct your Mars for the whole year before that. There may have been aggression type issues (Mars is aggression, violence, arguing) going on with you and your Mom for about a year and a half before you finally broke off with her. Look at the Solar Arcs for late 1999 thru 2000 and you'll see it.

For so many years I didn't believe in rectification until I learned how to test it for real. It takes a lot of time, but once you get the correct time, it plays like a well tuned piano.

I owe you one.
It's so great being able to use my chart effectively and you've been so patient with me over the last couple of years as you and everyone else has watched me like a hamster on a wheel, running round and round my possible AC!!

Thank you ALL for your patience and understanding, and help.

YAY! My own 8ball

Hugs to you across the giant pond.

It is interesting to note that the two possibilities I got, Aquarius Rising or Gemini Rising, the midpoint is... Aries Rising

Corrected you in my database. I am actually very happy that you are a fellow Aries Rising

It is actually how I rectified Paul`s and Andy`s charts long long time ago. And was very amazed and confirmed when I discovered asteroids and sabians, and they just fit perfectly.

What was cool is that Geocosmic Valentine has the knowledge and professional ability to look at the already rectified chart and confirm that it's correct!! I am so grateful to her and my astrologer friend who first rectified my chart!

Is that fair, Geocosmic?

The other interesting thing, Diandra is that i've been looking at my new rectified chart for months LOL
because i was so sure it was my AC - until Gemini/Aquarius came into the picture
