Serenadeleeuwerikduif (Alaudala serenata columbina)

Wat zijn jouw drie maanvogels?

Iedereen heeft drie maanvogels. Wil je weten wat jouw maanvogels zijn? Bereken dan je horoscoop (bijvoorbeeld hier) en zoek op in welk teken van de zodiak je Maan staat, en in welk huis. Het teken bepaalt je eerste maanvogel, het huis je tweede maanvogel, en hun combinatie je derde maanvogel.

Stel bijvoorbeeld dat dit je horoscoop is:

Als je op die pagina ietsje naar beneden scrolt, dan kun je lezen dat de Maan hier in Leeuw staat en in het 12e huis van de horoscoop. Met die informatie kun je hieronder opzoeken wat jouw maanvogels zijn.

Nemen we bovenstaande voorbeeld en zoeken we naar "Maan in Leeuw", dan komen we terecht bij de pauw, een van de twaalf vogels die de Maan in de tekens van de dierenriem vertegenwoordigen (te beginnen met Maan in Ram).

Zoeken we dan "Maan in het 12e huis" op, dan vinden we de roerdomp, een van de twaalf vogels die de Maan in de verschillende huizen van de geboortehoroscoop vertegenwoordigen.

Zoeken we tenslotte naar "Maan in het 12e huis in Leeuw", dan leren we een zeer zeldzame vogel kennen, de vergulde nachtpauw.

In dit nieuwe astrologische systeem, geworteld in de traditionele astrologie, zijn er in totaal 168 maanvogels:

12 op basis van het huis waarin de Maan staat.

12 op basis van het teken waarin de Maan staat.

144 op basis van alle mogelijke combinaties.

Daarnaast worden hier 12 venusvogels genoemd, op basis van de tekens waarin Venus staat, evenals 12 vogels voor Mercurius, de Zon, Mars, Jupiter en Saturnus. Uiteraard kan voor elk van deze planeten een totaal van 144 vogels worden genoemd, maar op deze pagina houden we het bij 12 vogels voor elk. 

Voor de transpersoonlijke planeten zijn er magische en mythische wezens. Voor Uranus zijn er 12 dondervogels, voor Neptunus zijn er 12 elfjes, voor Pluto zijn er twaalf feniksen, en voor de Noordelijke en Zuidelijke Maansknopen zijn er 12 griffioenen.

De vogelgids

The rule of hybridization

• Sign bird = how the Moon behaves

• House bird = where the Moon hides, feeds, or displays itself

The hybrid is:

the same bird, but altered by environment
— plumage, call, timing, visibility.
