A normal form theory for non-quasiperiodic systems is combined with the special properties of the partially averaged Newtonian potential pointed out in Pinzari (Celest Mech Dyn Astron 131(5):22, 2019) to prove, in the averaged, planar three-body problem, the existence of a plenty of motions where, periodically, the perihelion of the inner body affords librations about one equilibrium position and its ellipse squeezes to a segment before reversing its direction and again decreasing its eccentricity ( perihelion librations ).
