For a real two-planet Laplace-Lagrange secular matrix with negative off-diagonal entries, the upper secular eigenmode has anti-aligned apsides and the lower has aligned apsides. Their positive planet-1 to planet-2 amplitude ratios obey rp​rm​=A12​/A21​. Under the conventional angular momentum deficit normalization this is L2​/L1​.
