Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 318 / 1271
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 318 of Meeus index or 1271 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.69 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes. It is 1 hour and 51 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 47 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠127.7°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠127.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠156.8°.
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of apogee on 26 September 2025 at 09:46 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 8 October 2025 at 12:36 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 369 272 km
The Moon is 369 272 km (229 455 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 819 km (223 581 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after ascending node on 5 October 2025 at 09:20 in ♓ Pisces. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 October 2025 at 04:34 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 29 September 2025 at 06:09 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-28.599°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠28.550° at the point of next northern standstill on 12 October 2025 at 03:30 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
