The Full Moon this days is the Strawberry of June 2043.

The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 537 of Meeus index or 1490 from Brown series.
Length of current 537 lunation is 29 days, 7 hours and 16 minutes. It is 1 hour and 16 minutes shorter than next lunation 538 length.
Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 28 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 41 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠15.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠33.6°. 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°).
4 days after point of apogee on 18 June 2043 at 23:28 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 11 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 4 July 2043 at 16:08 in ♊ Gemini.

1 day after previous South standstill on 22 June 2043 at 14:03 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.403°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.429° in the next northern standstill on 5 July 2043 at 19:20 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
