Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.2% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1807" and ∠1904".
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2044 after 1 day on 7 September 2044 at 11:24.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 14 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 552 of Meeus index or 1505 from Brown series.
Length of current 552 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 57 minutes. It is 2 hours and 36 minutes shorter than next lunation 553 length.
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 47 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 22 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠34°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠57.9°. 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 1 September 2044 at 20:26 in ♑ Capricorn. 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 17 September 2044 at 12:14 in ♌ Leo.
Moon is 396 636 km (246 458 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 11 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 367 771 km (228 522 mi).
13 days after its descending node on 23 August 2044 at 18:33 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next day, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 7 September 2044 at 03:06 in ♓ Pisces.

5 days after previous South standstill on 31 August 2044 at 23:59 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-28.478°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠28.463° in the next northern standstill on 14 September 2044 at 23:32 in ♊ Gemini.
After 1 day on 7 September 2044 at 11:24 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
