Neither is more correct and they almost always fall in the same sign. Applies to the North and South Node. True is the osculating node and the default, because it is what most Western chart software reports; mean is the smoothed node preferred by several evolutionary schools, so pass \"mean\" to match one. Nothing else in the chart changes, and the two agree on the sign except when the node sits within about 1.8 degrees of a cusp. Defaults to \"true\".","enum":["mean","true"],"default":"true","example":"true"},{"key":"latitude","name":"latitude","kind":"number","required":true,"description":"Observer latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90).
