Astrological Tidbit— The term Perigee mean a planet or object in the sky is at its closes point to Earth, this happens each year. The term Apogee is a term that means a planet or object in the sky is at its furthest from earth. We use these terms with the Moon more than any other object and each year we have a time when the Moon is closer or furthest from planet earth. These position affect the tides at Perigee they are higher at Apogee they are lower and less powerful. Us earthlings also react differently we are more emotional during a Perigee Moon and less affected during an Apogee Moon
