Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 23 June 2032 at 11:32.
Moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.
Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1967" and ∠1887".
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2032 after 24 days on 22 July 2032 at 18:51.
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.
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 401 of Meeus index or 1354 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 9 minutes. It is 1 hour and 21 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 25 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 38 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠108.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠140.6°.
2 days after point of perigee on 25 June 2032 at 14:55 in ♑ Capricorn. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 11 July 2032 at 07:50 in ♍ Virgo.
The Moon is 364 478 km (226 476 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 826 km (252 169 mi).
8 days after ascending node on 19 June 2032 at 13:56 in ♏ Scorpio. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 2 July 2032 at 05:24 in ♉ Taurus.
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
5 days since the previous standstill on 22 June 2032 at 16:28 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.677°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.659° at the point of next northern standstill on 5 July 2032 at 14:56 in ♊ Gemini.
In 9 days on 7 July 2032 at 14:41 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
