The Full Moon this days is the Worm of March 2006.

The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 76 of Meeus index or 1029 from Brown series.
Length of current 76 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 44 minutes. It is 15 minutes longer than next lunation 77 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 9 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠2.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠19°. 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 apogee on 13 March 2006 at 01:44 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 13 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 28 March 2006 at 07:13 in ♓ Pisces.

6 days after previous North standstill on 8 March 2006 at 00:05 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠28.694°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-28.725° in the next southern standstill on 22 March 2006 at 16:53 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
