Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♑ Capricorn later.
5 days after Full Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 30 March 2029 at 02:26.
Worm Moon before 5 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2029 after 23 days on 28 April 2029 at 10:37.
Moderate tide
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.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1899"
Lunar disc appears visually 1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1899" and ∠1918".
Lunation 361 / 1314
The Moon is 20 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 361 of Meeus index or 1314 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 21 minutes and it is 1 hour and 19 minutes longer 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 4 hours and 37 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 26 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠164.5°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠164.5° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠188.3°.
Moon after perigee
5 days since point of perigee on 30 March 2029 at 05:40 in ♎ Libra the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 12 April 2029 at 23:04 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 377 496 km(234 565 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 670 km(252 693 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after descending node on 23 March 2029 at 20:28 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following day until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 5 April 2029 at 05:50 in ♑ Capricorn.
1 day since the last southern standstill on 3 April 2029 at 19:08 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-24.661° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 13 days to face maximum declination of ∠24.526° at the point of next northern standstill on 18 April 2029 at 10:56 in ♊ Gemini.
In 9 days on 13 April 2029 at 21:40 in ♈ Aries 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.
