Moon is leaving the last ∠3° of ♋ Cancer tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♌ Leo later.
4 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 5 November 2025 at 13:19.
Beaver Moon before 4 days
Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2025 after 24 days on 4 December 2025 at 23:14.
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 ∠1921"
Lunar disc appears visually 0.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1921" and ∠1938".
Lunation 319 / 1272
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 319 of Meeus index or 1272 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 22 minutes and it is 34 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 38 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 25 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠156.8°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠156.8° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠181.4°.
Moon after perigee
4 days since point of perigee on 5 November 2025 at 22:29 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 9 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 20 November 2025 at 02:48 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 373 190 km(231 890 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 693 km(252 707 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 1 November 2025 at 17:46 in ♓ Pisces 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 14 November 2025 at 06:38 in ♍ Virgo.
2 days since the last northern standstill on 8 November 2025 at 11:41 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠28.387° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠-28.295° at the point of next southern standstill on 22 November 2025 at 18:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 9 days on 20 November 2025 at 06:47 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
