Last year I settled on 1.26am giving me a 25° Aries Asc, it still didn’t seem to be 100% spot on but it was the best I could come up with given my limited knowledge.
Recently it started to bug me that I still need more confirmation but this time I threw my hands in the air and decided to leave it ‘to the universe’ to let me know and within two weeks this is what happened……………………

I had a call from my mother. Considering that we have had contact 6 times in the past decade this made me sit up and pay attention. I thought this warranted checking my transits for the time of her call. Transiting moon was conjunct my mercury and transit Mars rx was within a couple of degrees of my IC. I fiddled with my birth time to specifically get that Mars conjunct the IC (whenever I think of my mother my hackles rise so it just seemed fitting). My new proposed birth time was 1.39am giving me a 28° Aries Asc. All this time it just never occurred to me to test out times after 1.35am.

Now for the Sabians. I must admit the Sabians are lost on me, I just don’t get them but I looked up 27 and 28 Aries anyway to see if anything resonated:
27 - A large disappointed audience
28 - Music of the Spheres

The following day I was in a Op Shop (thrift store) having a browse around and decided to check out the books. After 2 minutes I’d had enough of my head tilted sideways reading book spines and was about to move on but there was a book on the lower shelf that was about to fall to the floor so I picked it up to put it back in its proper spot and it was this book.

WTF!! Naturally I had to buy it!
Does the universe ever get more literal than this? It could be a crazy coincidence but its humoring me nonetheless. I need to do some testing with solar arcs and transits and progressions to my life’s events.

At this point, check Solar Arcs from the outer planets to all the angles for times when you moved. The Solar Arcs can be squares, Semi-squares, Sesquiquadrates and Quindeciles to the angles as well.

Don't forget to check transits to your Moon since that is the fastest moving body in the chart after the ASC and MC.

But I like that synchronicity of "The Music Of The Spheres".

I think the odds of this synchronicity occuring by random chance just one day after seeing a relevant Sabian Symbol are one in a billion or more.

Thanks for responding Geo and IQ. I’m still looking at that book in absolute wonderment …………what’s more it was in the novel’s shelf which I never look at, it was only because it was in a rather precarious position and about to fall that I picked it up. I may even get around to reading it one day!

Using my ‘new’ birth time of 1.39am the MC=Saturn occurred when I was 8 years old which fits the timing of the event from my question. I’ve just checked my PR Moon for that time (I have an exact date) and it was bang on the cusp of the 8th opposing natal mars and squaring natal uranus (all orbs <1°). The nature of the planets fit the event too.

I know I’ve still got loads of checking to do which I will have to do to satisfy my pedantic side but I’m going to go with the 28° for now and see how we mesh.
