About This Mansion
Known as "The Little Belly," this mansion corresponds to the constellation's central belly region and embodies Venus' nurturing, fertile aspect. In traditional Islamic astronomy, Al-Butain represents the cosmic womb where new life gestates and develops. Excellent for planting, building foundations, and establishing roots. The belly of the Ram holds the seeds of what was initiated in the first mansion, giving them time to grow in safety before they emerge.
