Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 28 May 2033 at 11:36
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 4 June 2033 at 23:39
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 12 June 2033 at 23:19

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 412 / 1365
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 412 of Meeus index or 1365 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.37 days
Length of current 412 lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 50 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2033. It is 40 minutes shorter than next lunation 413 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 54 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 15 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠25.1°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠25.1°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠46°. 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 after perigee
1 day after point of perigee on 25 May 2033 at 13:01 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 6 June 2033 at 10:13 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 370 396 km
Moon is 370 396 km (230 153 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 9 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 291 km (251 215 mi).
Moon after descending node
2 days after its descending node on 25 May 2033 at 05:37 in ♈ Aries, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 11 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 7 June 2033 at 22:45 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
15 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon before northern standstill
10 days after previous South standstill on 16 May 2033 at 20:25 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.668°. Next 2 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.697° in the next northern standstill on 29 May 2033 at 17:10 in ♊ Gemini.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 28 May 2033 at 11:36 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
