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
Length of current 318 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes. It is 1 hour and 51 minutes shorter than next lunation 319 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 47 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠127.7°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠127.7°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠156.8°. 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°).
Moon before perigee
10 days after point of apogee on 26 September 2025 at 09:46 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 8 October 2025 at 12:36 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 369 272 km
Moon is 369 272 km (229 455 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 2 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 359 819 km (223 581 mi).
Moon after ascending node
1 day after its ascending node on 5 October 2025 at 09:20 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 18 October 2025 at 04:34 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
1 day after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days after previous South standstill on 29 September 2025 at 06:09 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.599°. Next 5 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.550° in the next northern standstill on 12 October 2025 at 03:30 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
