Waxing Crescent on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 1% and growing larger. The lunar cycle is 1 day young.
The moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠19° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 30 October 2092 at 19:28.
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2092 after 13 days on 14 November 2092 at 03:04.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1958" and ∠1934".
The Moon is 1 day young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 1148 of Meeus index or 2101 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 7 minutes and it is 27 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2092. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 32 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠334° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠350.8°.
11 days since point of apogee on 20 October 2092 at 09:17 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 November 2092 at 08:57 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 366 169 km (227 527 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 684 km (224 119 mi).
7 days after ascending node on 24 October 2092 at 08:18 in ♌ Leo the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 6 November 2092 at 00:18 in ♒ Aquarius.
9 days since the last northern standstill on 21 October 2092 at 20:05 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠20.498° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 3 days to face maximum declination of ∠-20.608° at the point of next southern standstill on 3 November 2092 at 23:31 in ♑ Capricorn.
7 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♌ Leo the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
In 13 days on 14 November 2092 at 03:04 in ♉ Taurus the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
