Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 5 days on 4 October 2034 at 18:05.
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 leaving the last ∠3° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♎ Libra later.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.5% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1820" and ∠1922".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2034 after 17 days on 27 October 2034 at 12:42.
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 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 429 of Meeus index or 1382 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is 2 hours and 25 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 2 hours and 35 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠108.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠141.4°.
10 days after point of perigee on 30 September 2034 at 04:10 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 16 October 2034 at 00:06 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 393 858 km (244 732 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 022 km (252 290 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♍ Virgo at 06:34 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 24 October 2034 at 18:23 in ♓ Pisces.
At 06:34 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
6 days since the previous standstill on 4 October 2034 at 01:15 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠18.200°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠-18.265° at the point of next southern standstill on 18 October 2034 at 10:02 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 1 day on 12 October 2034 at 07:33 in ♎ Libra 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.
