Vedic Horoscope for Mohammed

Arabian founder of Islam. He was orphaned at an early age and brought up under the care of his uncle Abu Talib. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25, with a widow fifteen years older. Being in the habit of periodically retreating to a cave in the surrounding mountains for several nights of seclusion and prayer, he later reported that it was there, at age 40, that he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. islām) is the only way acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as other Islamic prophets. Manly P. Hall in the NAJ 1933, and also in his book "The Story of Astrology: The Belief in the Stars As a Factor in Human Progress" states "recorded" at April 20, 571 AD O.S., 1:25:35 AM LMT. This is apparently a quotation from Royal Horoscopes by B. (Bangalore) Suranarain Rao (Row in Manly's book text). This is a speculative chart, but it is quite close to the time suggested by old Islamic astrologers of 12 Rabi al-Awwal, which works out to 24 April Julian in 571 AD.
