Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 3 days on 2 September 2033 at 02:24.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1891" and ∠1904".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2033 after 3 days on 9 September 2033 at 02:20.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 11 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 416 of Meeus index or 1369 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 1 minute. It is 1 hour and 49 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 3 hours and 16 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 47 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠140.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠166.6°.
7 days after point of apogee on 28 August 2033 at 15:27 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 4 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 September 2033 at 01:49 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 379 031 km (235 519 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 4 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 358 590 km (222 817 mi).
8 days after ascending node on 28 August 2033 at 07:12 in ♎ Libra. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 10 September 2033 at 19:07 in ♈ Aries.
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♎ Libra, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
2 days since the previous standstill on 3 September 2033 at 09:54 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.364°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 10 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.313° at the point of next northern standstill on 15 September 2033 at 23:39 in ♊ Gemini.
In 3 days on 9 September 2033 at 02:20 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
