Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♋ Cancer
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1898" and ∠1889".
Sturgeon Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2025 after 15 days on 9 August 2025 at 07:55.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 1 August 2025 at 12:41
- Full Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 9 August 2025 at 07:55
- Last Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 16 August 2025 at 05:12
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 23 August 2025 at 06:06
Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 316 / 1269
At 19:11 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 316 of Meeus index or 1269 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes. It is 2 hours and 53 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the 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 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠60.5°
The true anomaly is ∠60.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠93°.
Moon after perigee
3 days after point of perigee on 20 July 2025 at 13:52 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 1 August 2025 at 20:37 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 377 702 km
The Moon is 377 702 km (234 693 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 164 km (251 136 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 15 July 2025 at 10:42 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 28 July 2025 at 08:30 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
2 days since the previous standstill on 22 July 2025 at 09:43 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.474°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.534° at the point of next southern standstill on 5 August 2025 at 13:37 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
