Moon phase and lunation details
5 days after Last Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 23 January 2033 at 17:46.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon in ♑ Capricorn
Moon is passing about ∠20° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1924"
Lunar disc appears visually 1.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1924" and ∠1948".
Snow Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Snow Moon of February 2033 after 15 days on 14 February 2033 at 07:04.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Aquarius ♒ on 30 January 2033 at 22:00
- First Quarter in Taurus ♉ on 6 February 2033 at 13:34
- Full Moon in Leo ♌ on 14 February 2033 at 07:04

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 408 / 1361
The Moon is 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 408 of Meeus index or 1361 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.49 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 43 minutes. It is 1 hour and 19 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 shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 1 minute shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 8 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠315.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠315.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠336.6°.
Moon before apogee
9 days after point of apogee on 20 January 2033 at 07:04 in ♍ Virgo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 February 2033 at 07:27 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 372 575 km
The Moon is 372 575 km (231 507 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 085 km (223 746 mi).
Moon before descending node
6 days after ascending node on 22 January 2033 at 23:41 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 6 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 4 February 2033 at 19:25 in ♈ Aries.
Draconic month
6 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day since the previous standstill on 27 January 2033 at 14:55 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.973°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.889° at the point of next northern standstill on 9 February 2033 at 07:09 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 30 January 2033 at 22:00 in ♒ Aquarius 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.
