Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 16 July 2036 at 14:39
- New Moon in Leo ♌ on 23 July 2036 at 10:17
- First Quarter in Scorpio ♏ on 30 July 2036 at 02:56

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 451 / 1404
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 451 of Meeus index or 1404 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.3 days
Length of current 451 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 7 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2036. It is 11 minutes shorter than next lunation 452 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 37 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 32 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠338.2°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠338.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠354.1°. 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 before apogee
13 days after point of perigee on 25 June 2036 at 10:31 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 10 July 2036 at 16:20 in ♒ Aquarius.
Distance to Moon 403 803 km
Moon is 403 803 km (250 912 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 2 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 406 005 km (252 280 mi).
Moon before descending node
11 days after its ascending node on 27 June 2036 at 02:46 in ♌ Leo, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 2 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 11 July 2036 at 00:53 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
11 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
1 day after previous South standstill on 7 July 2036 at 21:09 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.902°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.877° in the next northern standstill on 22 July 2036 at 00:37 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
