Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 49 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 20 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠18.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠36.7°. 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°).

4 days after previous North standstill on 26 August 2027 at 14:14 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠27.172°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-27.122° in the next southern standstill on 8 September 2027 at 08:57 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
