Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 7 days on 7 October 2027 at 11:47.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1811" and ∠1924".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2027 after 1 day on 15 October 2027 at 13:47.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 343 of Meeus index or 1296 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 1 minute. It is 2 hours and 48 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 44 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 25 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠36.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠61.7°.
4 days after point of apogee on 9 October 2027 at 15:47 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 25 October 2027 at 05:36 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 395 760 km (245 914 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 10 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 651 km (229 069 mi).
4 days after ascending node on 9 October 2027 at 14:58 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 23 October 2027 at 08:15 in ♌ Leo.
4 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
8 days since the previous standstill on 5 October 2027 at 16:53 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.921°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.793° at the point of next northern standstill on 20 October 2027 at 01:41 in ♊ Gemini.
In 1 day on 15 October 2027 at 13:47 in ♈ Aries the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
