Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Pisces ♓ on 4 June 2029 at 01:19
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 12 June 2029 at 03:51
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 19 June 2029 at 09:54

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 363 / 1316
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 363 of Meeus index or 1316 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.59 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 8 minutes. It is 2 hours and 7 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 longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 24 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 39 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠213.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠213.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠244.2°.
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 25 May 2029 at 22:19 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 10 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 6 June 2029 at 22:09 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 368 327 km
The Moon is 368 327 km (228 868 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 10 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 105 km (251 721 mi).
Moon before ascending node
10 days after descending node on 16 May 2029 at 23:31 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 2 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 29 May 2029 at 17:34 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
25 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon before southern standstill
11 days since the previous standstill on 15 May 2029 at 15:58 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.404°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-24.396° at the point of next southern standstill on 28 May 2029 at 14:12 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
