![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They are more or less opposite points only at times when the Sun is in conjunction with one of them or at an angle of 90° from them.” It turns out that the motions of the Lunar Perigee and Apogee form curves of different quality and the two points are usually not in opposition to each other. This solar perturbation results in gigantic monthly oscillations in the ephemeris of the osculating apsides (the amplitude is 30 degrees). “Although Kepler ellipses are a good means to describe planetary orbits, they fail with the orbit of the Moon, which is strongly perturbed by the gravitational pull of the Sun. But due to considerable problems in calculating these apsides, Dieter Koch has said (quote): The astronomical ephemerides for this axis is calculated by Kepler. Technically, Black Moon Lilith is defined as the Lunar Apogee and the Lunar Perigee, the opposite point, is called Priapus in Western astrology. The fixed star Algol in the head of Medusa in the constellation Perseus is also thought of as part of this vast “Lilith corridor”. There are at least 4 Liliths in astrology: Mean Black Moon Lilith (h21), True Black Moon Lilith (h13), Dark Moon/Waldemath Lilith (h58) and asteroid Lilith (1181), the latter one being the only actual physical or verifiable Lilith body. Lilith has been the subject of much discussion amongst Western astrologers. *Note: this article is about the theoretical or hypothetical point known as the White Moon Selena, as used in the Avestan School of Astrology in Eastern Europe, and therefore the ephemerides mentioned here are also the ones used by Russian astrologers.īefore I get into explaining the White Moon I am going to first write a couple of words about Lilith and also mention the Lunar Nodes (Rahu and Ketu) as Selena/Arta is part of that whole “package”. ![]()
