Not all astrologers use the lunar nodes; however, their usage is very important in Vedic
astrology. They are alternately known as the "Dragon's Head" (Rahu, Caput Draconis,
or Anabibazon) and the "Dragon's Tail" (Ketu, Cauda Draconis, or Catabibazon). The
two nodes together are most commonly referred to simply as the nodal axis, the lunar
nodes, or the Moon's nodes.
Black Moon
Lilith
Lunarapogee
The traditional Black Moon Lilith is the position of the mean lunar apogee as measured
from the geocenter; variants of the Black Moon include replacing the mean orbit with a
"true" osculating orbit or with an interpolated orbit; charting the empty focus of the
Moon's orbit instead of the apogee; and measuring the desired point's barycentric or
topocentric position instead of its geocentric position.[29]
