Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 9 July 2034 at 01:59
- New Moon in Cancer ♋ on 15 July 2034 at 18:15
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 23 July 2034 at 07:05

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 426 / 1379
The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 426 of Meeus index or 1379 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.33 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 49 minutes. 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°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 55 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 14 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠25.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠25.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠45.9°.
Moon after apogee
4 days after point of apogee on 27 June 2034 at 00:19 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 11 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 12 July 2034 at 19:35 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 397 354 km
The Moon is 397 354 km (246 904 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 11 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 365 km (227 027 mi).
Moon before descending node
8 days after ascending node on 23 June 2034 at 06:36 in ♍ Virgo. 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 7 July 2034 at 14:33 in ♓ Pisces.
Draconic month
8 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, 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 30 June 2034 at 23:50 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-18.423°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 12 days to face maximum declination of ∠18.385° at the point of next northern standstill on 14 July 2034 at 05:13 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
