Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 4 days on 25 May 2036 at 19:17.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠14° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1972" and ∠1892".
Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2036 after 9 days on 8 June 2036 at 21:02.
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 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 450 of Meeus index or 1403 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 53 minutes. It is 46 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 18 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠318.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠338.2°.
2 days after point of perigee on 28 May 2036 at 09:17 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 13 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 13 June 2036 at 05:06 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 363 477 km (225 854 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 13 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 205 km (251 783 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♌ Leo at 22:23 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 14 days later on 13 June 2036 at 20:47 in ♒ Aquarius.
At 22:23 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
2 days since the previous standstill on 28 May 2036 at 03:06 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.831°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.888° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 June 2036 at 13:44 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 9 days on 8 June 2036 at 21:02 in ♐ Sagittarius 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.
