Several years ago I was rereading 'The Twelve Caesars', and reached (quite close to the end) the story of the assassination of the Roman Emperor Domitian, on 18 September, 96 AD. It's quite clear from Suetonius' account (Life of Domitian, start of 14 and end of 16) that there was some astrological significance to the timing of the event - not just that the moon was in Aquarius, but also that the fifth hour of that day was particularly dangerous and he would be safe if he lived to the sixth.
