Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 11 February 2032 at 06:24
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 18 February 2032 at 03:29
- Full Moon in Virgo ♍ on 26 February 2032 at 07:43

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 396 / 1349
The Moon is 28 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 396 of Meeus index or 1349 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
Length of current 396 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 18 minutes. It is 18 minutes longer than next lunation 397 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 27 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 43 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠351.6°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠351.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠6.9°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 20:46, this is 14 days after last apogee on 27 January 2032 at 16:13 in ♌ Leo. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 13 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 23 February 2032 at 18:41 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 356 948 km
This perigee Moon is 356 948 km (221 797 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 560 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 408 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after ascending node
6 days after its ascending node on 4 February 2032 at 11:35 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 16 February 2032 at 21:13 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
6 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
3 days after previous South standstill on 7 February 2032 at 03:44 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-20.110°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠20.009° in the next northern standstill on 19 February 2032 at 21:21 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 11 February 2032 at 06:24 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
