Moon is passing about ∠12° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1929" and ∠1915".
Pink Moon after 16 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2032 after 16 days on 25 April 2032 at 15:10.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aries ♈ on 10 April 2032 at 02:39
- First Quarter in Cancer ♋ on 17 April 2032 at 15:24
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 25 April 2032 at 15:10

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 398 / 1351
At 16:25 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 398 of Meeus index or 1351 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.43 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 15 minutes. It is 41 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 29 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 40 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠23.4°
The true anomaly is ∠23.4°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠44.4°.
Moon after perigee
2 days after point of perigee on 7 April 2032 at 06:55 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 9 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 19 April 2032 at 03:02 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 371 564 km
The Moon is 371 564 km (230 879 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 9 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 547 km (251 374 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 29 March 2032 at 15:09 in ♏ Scorpio. 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 11 April 2032 at 11:00 in ♉ Taurus.
Draconic month
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
7 days since the previous standstill on 1 April 2032 at 17:12 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.688°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.650° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 April 2032 at 13:29 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
