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.
Lunation 467 / 1420
The Moon is 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 467 of Meeus index or 1420 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.4 days
Length of current 467 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 29 minutes. It is 2 hours and 6 minutes shorter than next lunation 468 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 15 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 54 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠9.6°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠9.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠26.3°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
Moon before perigee
9 days after point of apogee on 21 October 2037 at 07:33 in ♓ Pisces. 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 5 November 2037 at 22:15 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 376 915 km

Moon after northern standstill
1 day after previous North standstill on 29 October 2037 at 20:04 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠21.956°. Next 11 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-22.049° in the next southern standstill on 11 November 2037 at 11:53 in ♑ Capricorn.
Syzygy in 8 days
After 8 days on 7 November 2037 at 12:03 in ♏ Scorpio, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
