Moon is passing about ∠5° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.

Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2044 after 14 days on 13 March 2044 at 19:41.
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 20:12 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 546 of Meeus index or 1499 from Brown series.
29 days, 13 hours and 14 minutes is the length of new lunation 546. It is 2 hours and 58 minutes longer than next lunation 547 length.
Length of current synodic month is 30 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 6 hours and 33 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠272.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠304.8°. 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°).
6 days after point of apogee on 22 February 2044 at 05:18 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 8 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 7 March 2044 at 20:36 in ♊ Gemini.

5 days after previous South standstill on 23 February 2044 at 02:17 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.625°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.650° in the next northern standstill on 7 March 2044 at 16:53 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
