Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 24 March 2033 at 01:50.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1956" and ∠1922".
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2033 after 18 days on 14 April 2033 at 19:17.
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 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 410 of Meeus index or 1363 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 28 minutes. It is 33 minutes longer 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 3 hours and 16 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 53 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠353°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠8.3°.
11 days after point of apogee on 15 March 2033 at 22:00 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 30 March 2033 at 06:09 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 366 532 km (227 752 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 444 km (222 105 mi).
9 days after ascending node on 18 March 2033 at 05:18 in ♎ Libra. 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 31 March 2033 at 11:09 in ♈ Aries.
9 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 23 March 2033 at 08:32 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.613°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.590° at the point of next northern standstill on 4 April 2033 at 20:56 in ♊ Gemini.
In 3 days on 30 March 2033 at 17:52 in ♈ Aries 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.
