Moon is passing about ∠7° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
4 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 24 March 2014 at 01:46.
Pink Moon after 17 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2014 after 17 days on 15 April 2014 at 07:42.
Moderate tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1955"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1955" and ∠1922".
Lunation 175 / 1128
The Moon is 27 days old and navigating from the second to the final part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 175 of Meeus index or 1128 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 45 minutes and it is 45 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 59 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 10 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠25.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠25.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠46.9°.
Moon after perigee
1 day since point of perigee on 27 March 2014 at 18:30 in ♒ Aquarius the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 April 2014 at 14:52 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 366 626 km(227 811 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 11 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 503 km(251 347 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 19 March 2014 at 06:30 in ♎ Libra the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 1 April 2014 at 02:30 in ♈ Aries.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 23 March 2014 at 07:28 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.997° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.957° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 April 2014 at 07:12 in ♊ Gemini.
In 2 days on 30 March 2014 at 18:45 in ♈ Aries the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
