Different Lilith calculations select different lunar-apogee models. Reproducible comparison requires the exact point and method; shared mythology does not make an apogee, an asteroid and a hypothetical dark moon the same astronomical object.

The Hamburg School uses prescribed hypothetical orbits to supply these chart points. Software can reproduce their positions, but that agreement does not constitute an astronomical detection or establish that the proposed planets physically exist.

Lunar distance observations and orbital calculations identify farthest-distance points or events. A chart's apogee direction requires a stated model; it should not be confused with an additional object occupying that position.

Averaging removes short-period variation to provide a regular node trajectory. The result is a deliberate model, not a less carefully observed planet; comparisons with true-node positions must account for the different quantities being represented.

The node follows from the Moon's orbital plane crossing the ecliptic northward. It helps describe eclipse geometry, but it is a location defined by planes rather than a body that emits a distinct influence.

An ellipse fitted to the current lunar state supplies this apogee. Perturbations continually change that fit, so its direction is not necessarily the place of the Moon's next actual greatest distance from Earth.

Successive positions establish whether longitude is increasing or decreasing in the declared frame. In a geocentric chart this can be an apparent reversal produced by relative motion and viewpoint. Traditional horary associations such as delay, return, or reversal are interpretive and require the rest of the selected method; they are not measured consequences of the motion.

A station is located by solving for zero longitudinal speed in a specified frame. A display that rounds a small speed to zero is not an exact station; practical station windows require a separately declared tolerance.

The calculation uses the Moon's instantaneous orbital geometry, retaining variations omitted by a mean model. True names that modeling choice; it does not establish that this node convention produces truer astrological interpretations.
