With the appropriate blue template in place, turn the disk on the starfinder until the azimuths and altitudes of the bodies on the face of the starfinder match what you see in the sky. Read the GHA of Aries from the pointer. Open up your Nautical Almanac to the appropriate page and find the time at which the GHA of Aries matches that shown by the starfinder. You will probably need to go to the Increments and Corrections pages too. The result will be approximate.
