Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 12 June 2069 at 09:56.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1954" and ∠1888".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2069 after 17 days on 4 July 2069 at 13:05.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 858 of Meeus index or 1811 from Brown series.
Length of current 858 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 8 minutes. It is 51 minutes shorter than next lunation 859 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 36 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 33 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠21°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠40.5°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of perigee on 16 June 2069 at 13:22 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 28 June 2069 at 10:15 in ♎ Libra.
Moon is 366 901 km (227 982 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 412 km (251 290 mi).
1 day after its descending node on 15 June 2069 at 23:37 in ♉ Taurus, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 29 June 2069 at 14:55 in ♏ Scorpio.
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
12 days after previous South standstill on 5 June 2069 at 10:11 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.943°. Next day the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.940° in the next northern standstill on 18 June 2069 at 12:47 in ♊ Gemini.
After 1 day on 19 June 2069 at 02:14 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
