An extremely rare black flamingo, thought to be
only one in the world, has been filmed on the island of Cyprus. The footage was
captured on Wednesday (April 8) and shows the black flamingo surrounded by more
conventionally coloured birds feeding on the banks of Aktoriri salt lake on the
island that lies in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The bird is almost entirely
black except for a tuft of white feathers on its rear and was spotted by
environmentalists during an annual count of the island's flamingos. April 10; http://ind.pn/1avf5Tr
Limassol Salt
Lake (also known as Akrotiri Salt Lake) is the largest inland body of water on
the island of Cyprus, in Akrotiri. The
footage of the black flamingo was captured on April 8, the very day Jupiter
stationed to go direct [UT 16:56:32]. A chart for the station drawn for Akrotiri
Salt Lake is shown here. The MC conjoins the stars Samoht of the Unicorn [1]
and Aludra of Canis Major. About these stars Nick Fiorenza writes [2]:
Aludra, Wezen, and
Adhara lie under latter sidereal Gemini and early Cancer, and create the
hindquarter of the Canis Major. Although of this Sirian constellation, Aludra
and Wezen are a pair of their own class. They lie much further in distance than
the other stars thus being of their own realm. Aludra served Hipparchus to make
his famous astronomical reckoning about the precession of the equinoxes. Aludra
is also the only star of the constellation that lies across the Gemini-Cancer
cusp. Aludra is the singular of Al Adhara, the Virgins--hence, a pure one of
the breed. This is the white stallion, the black sheep, the unique
person that does not fit in. Aludra most often time manifests as a person
who appears through unexpected moments is space and time, with the magik
provided by unique Alpha Monoceros. An Aludra-type individual seems
strikingly unique in some way--out of the ordinary. Samoht, Alpha
Monoceros, is an Egyptian star name, actually older than the constellation
Monoceros. Samoht means "one who has traveled from afar." Monoceros,
the Unicorn, is of a species not common to earth--one magikal and
mystical. Alpha Monoceros brings fortuitous situations, experiences or
involvements quite out of the ordinary, which often appear unexpectedly.
From the
extract above, it is quite obvious that the stars on the MC are referring to a
creature that is rarely seen much like the black flamingo!
PS:
The
current solar eclipse [29pi] which occurred on the MC at Limassol is conjunct the star Azelfafage pi Cygnus[28pi] in
the constellation of the Swan. Flamingoes as a species are related to Waterfowl
which includes ducks, geese, and swans.
