Moon is passing about ∠10° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
1 day after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 1 day on 7 September 2025 at 18:09.
Harvest Moon before 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2025 after 27 days on 7 October 2025 at 03:47.
Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1951"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1951" and ∠1905".
Lunation 317 / 1270
The Moon is 16 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 317 of Meeus index or 1270 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 48 minutes and it is 2 hours and 43 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 4 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 59 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠93°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠93° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠127.7°.
Moon before perigee
10 days since point of apogee on 29 August 2025 at 15:34 in ♏ Scorpio 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 10 September 2025 at 12:09 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 367 348 km(228 259 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 364 781 km(226 664 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 7 September 2025 at 23:08 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 20 September 2025 at 23:13 in ♍ Virgo.
7 days since the last southern standstill on 1 September 2025 at 22:04 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.623° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.630° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 September 2025 at 21:23 in ♊ Gemini.
In 12 days on 21 September 2025 at 19:54 in ♍ Virgo 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.
