Moon is passing about ∠8° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.

Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2038 after 14 days on 13 September 2038 at 12:24.
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
At 10:13 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 478 of Meeus index or 1431 from Brown series.
29 days, 8 hours and 45 minutes is the length of new lunation 478. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2038. It is 10 minutes shorter than next lunation 479 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 59 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 10 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠319.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠339.4°. 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°).
9 days after point of apogee on 21 August 2038 at 01:57 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 2 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 1 September 2038 at 22:39 in ♎ Libra.

4 days after previous North standstill on 26 August 2038 at 08:58 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠23.151°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-23.232° in the next southern standstill on 8 September 2038 at 03:20 in ♑ Capricorn.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
