Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2027 after 13 days on 19 June 2027 at 00:44.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 11 June 2027 at 10:56
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 19 June 2027 at 00:44
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 27 June 2027 at 04:54

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 339 / 1292
At 19:40 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 339 of Meeus index or 1292 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.31 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 22 minutes. It is 19 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 22 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 47 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠330.4°
The true anomaly is ∠330.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠347.4°.
Moon before apogee
10 days after point of apogee on 25 May 2027 at 15:13 in ♑ Capricorn. 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 6 June 2027 at 14:54 in ♋ Cancer.
Distance to Moon 366 860 km
The Moon is 366 860 km (227 956 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 361 703 km (224 752 mi).
Moon before descending node
9 days after ascending node on 26 May 2027 at 15:22 in ♒ Aquarius. 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 8 June 2027 at 19:23 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 10:02 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.143°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.134° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 18 June 2027 at 14:51.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
