Ibn Battuta (February 24, 1304 – 1368)
“Son of the Duckling” is a literal translation of Ibn Battuta, but my brain went to “Butterfly” when I first read his name. Hmm.
I also got another ‘hint’ when I was thinking about the man. I’ll tell you that in a minute, but first, let’s look at his birth chart, which is randomized, due to his birth time being unknown.
Obviously, a Taurus Ascendant person would probably never leave home, so it is more likely to be an Aries personality, or even a Sagittarius. So, those energies are encapsulated by an (almost) exact conjunction between Venus and Mars @ 0° Aries, and the North Node @ 23° Sagittarius. Hmm. Of the four ‘official’ inconjuncts, two form a Yod pointing at Mars, from Jupiter and Uranus. I think we’re on solid ground.
That Hint?
Could he have been another reincarnation of Jesus? Let’s see:
Their Neptune placements are closely conjunct. Is that enough? Perhaps not. But what it shows me is that both men were itinerates, constantly on the road and preaching the Gospel (Good News). Battuta’s Sun is opposite Jesus’ Pluto. Could this imply the moving on to a different phase, Jewish to Muslim?
I’m not sure that any of this is relevant, but I wonder why I get these kinds of hints.
