The Seba library treats Ammon in 3 passages, across 3 authors (including Hillman, James, Kerényi, Karl, Liz Greene).
H. W. Parke, The Oracles of Zeus: Dodona, Olympia, Ammon (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1967).
Hillman cites Parke’s authoritative study of the oracles of Zeus — including Ammon — as a scholarly foundation for the Greek conception of fate and the soul’s calling, linking the Ammonian oracle directly to the daimonic tradition undergirding his acorn theory.

The image of ram-bearer (κριόφορος), as Hermes is so often portrayed, is a highly significant manifestation… the ram belongs generally within the Cabeirian context.
Kerenyi’s analysis of the ram-bearer Hermes and the sacrificial significance of the ram within Cabeirian mystery religion furnishes the mythological context in which Ammon — as a ram-headed oracle god — is intelligible within depth-psychological iconography.

I have never found it to be very productive to play ‘tell me what my myth is’ games with the horoscope. There are so many myths, and the individual transforms or combines or cooks these myriad different themes into an individual broth.
Greene’s caution against reducing individual fate to a single mythic narrative contextualizes the wider framework — encompassing oracular deities such as Ammon — within which astrological fate operates as an irreducible complexity.
