Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 5 days on 19 June 2029 at 09:54.
Moonrise and moonset
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 in ♐ Sagittarius
Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1938"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1938" and ∠1888".
Strawberry Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2029 after 1 day on 26 June 2029 at 03:22.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 26 June 2029 at 03:22
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 3 July 2029 at 17:58
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 11 July 2029 at 15:51

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.
Lunation 364 / 1317
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 364 of Meeus index or 1317 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.5 days
Length of current 364 lunation is 29 days, 12 hours and 1 minute. It is 1 hour and 56 minutes longer than next lunation 365 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 44 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 26 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠244.2°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠244.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠279.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 22 June 2029 at 15:35 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 4 July 2029 at 16:05 in ♈ Aries.
Distance to Moon 369 859 km
Moon is 369 859 km (229 820 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 317 km (251 231 mi).
Moon before ascending node
11 days after its descending node on 13 June 2029 at 04:49 in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 26 June 2029 at 03:09 in ♑ Capricorn.
Draconic month
25 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon in southern standstill
At 23:29 on this date the Moon is meeting its South standstill point, when it will reach southern declination of ∠-24.401°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite northward direction to face North declination of ∠24.399° in its northern standstill point on 9 July 2029 at 05:56 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 26 June 2029 at 03:22 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
