Moon is passing about ∠13° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1818" and ∠1903".
The Full Moon this days is the Harvest of September 2047.
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 589 of Meeus index or 1542 from Brown series.
Length of current 589 lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 15 minutes. It is 18 minutes longer than next lunation 590 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 29 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 40 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠306.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠329.2°. 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°).
10 days after point of perigee on 24 August 2047 at 23:21 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 5 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 9 September 2047 at 17:06 in ♉ Taurus.

4 days after its ascending node on 31 August 2047 at 00:29 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 14 September 2047 at 10:02 in ♋ Cancer.

6 days after previous South standstill on 29 August 2047 at 04:16 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.179°. Next 7 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.055° in the next northern standstill on 12 September 2047 at 11:14 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
