Upcoming main Moon phases
- New Moon in Gemini ♊ on 6 June 2035 at 03:21
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 12 June 2035 at 19:50
- Full Moon in Sagittarius ♐ on 20 June 2035 at 19:37

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 437 / 1390
The Moon is 22 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 437 of Meeus index or 1390 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
Length of current 437 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 17 minutes. It is 38 minutes longer than next lunation 438 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 27 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 42 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.4°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠338.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠354.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon after apogee
6 days after point of apogee on 24 May 2035 at 09:19 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 6 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 6 June 2035 at 11:36 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 388 110 km
Moon is 388 110 km (241 160 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 6 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 357 357 km (222 051 mi).
Moon in descending node
Moon is in descending node in ♓ Pisces at 10:00 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from North to South. Moon will follow the southern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet ascending node on 11 June 2035 at 20:42 in ♍ Virgo.
Draconic month
14 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days after previous South standstill on 25 May 2035 at 00:53 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.782°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.820° in the next northern standstill on 7 June 2035 at 10:40 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 6 days
After 6 days on 6 June 2035 at 03:21 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
