Sort of synchronicity. Hard to tell if it was your unconscious, your intuition, or maybe both. Sometimes that sort of thing happens to me, and I also wonder if I just unconsciously remembered it.

Hmm, yes, but without checking I'd suspect Uranus or Neptune in Aquarius too. One would certainly expect frontiersmen, like explorers, to have prominent Sagittarius at birth. Mozart manifested it differently I suppose, perhaps his chart explains why. I'm inclined to believe child prodigies exhibit rare talents developed in prior lifetimes.

Two difficult questions if not rhetorical. I read Iliad & Odyssey with the rest of the myths & legends section of the local library as a child in the '50s, so can't recall details of the stories. Most astrologers who have written extensively about generational planets seem to prefer the theory that they didn't manifest overtly until they were discovered. If it worked via the unconscious, Pluto back then might indeed erupt as destructive motivations, I dare say!
