Moon phase and lunation details
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset. It's part facing the Earth is completely in shadow.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1806" and ∠1890".
Strawberry Moon after 14 days
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2029 after 14 days on 26 June 2029 at 03:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 12 June 2029 at 03:51
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 19 June 2029 at 09:54
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 26 June 2029 at 03:22

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 363 / 1316
At 13:42 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with 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°
The true anomaly is ∠213.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠244.2°.
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 6 June 2029 at 22:09 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 22 June 2029 at 15:35 in ♏ Scorpio.
Distance to Moon 396 788 km
The Moon is 396 788 km (246 553 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 366 596 km (227 792 mi).
Moon before descending node
12 days after ascending node on 29 May 2029 at 17:34 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following day, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 13 June 2029 at 04:49 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 22:05 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠24.392°. Over the next 13 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-24.401° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 24 June 2029 at 23:29.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
