Hi Everyone,
There's Chris Mitchell's great site for Black Moon Lilith - Moon's
apogee position, but does anyone know if there's calculations in a
similar way for Moon's perigee? I'm just wondering if such has any
bearing upon BML's surfacing in the opposing sign.

Dieter Koch of Astrodienst and Bernhard Rindgen published some material
about these topics. I haven't read their material, only extracts and
summaries from it, but I gather that they calculate "Lilith" and
"Priapus" differently than other astrologers do-- they do not use the
mean positions, nor do they use the "true osculating" positions, but
instead they take the Moon's actual positions at perigee and apogee and
calculate positions for the in-between times using a function.

This appears to be different to the lists provided on Richard's site. I
think (not sure, though) that they are the actual apogee and perigee
positions. It will provide something to work on, to check.

You're absolutely right, Christine. My tables provide data for the Moon's
actual position at the moments of apogee and perigee in each lunar orbit.

Priapus (Lunar perigee point) and Lilith (Lunar apogee point) usually
are not opposed each other in the heavens. And as I recall, Priapus has

This is what I thought, considering the Moon's orbit is not a 28 day
constant :-).
And as I recall, Priapus has
|
a wider variance from the mean perigee position than Lilith has from
the mean apogee position (although I may have gotten that backwards).
Anyway, you might want to check out their work if this topic interests
you. To find out more, you can start by going to web-search and searching

This is the next stage of the continuing study :-)

Touché! :-)
If I knew where I have it -- I don't know how to calculate it on my own

Tables showing all lunar apogee and perigee positions for the years
1999 through 2006 are online at Astropro under the FEATURES menu.
the home page, then click on the FEATURES icon to get the menu, then
click on your choice of lunar data.
