The Full Moon this days is the Buck of July 2051.

The Moon is 14 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 637 of Meeus index or 1590 from Brown series.
Length of current 637 lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 56 minutes. It is 2 hours and 32 minutes shorter than next lunation 638 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 48 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 21 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠70.2°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠104.1°. 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°).
7 days after point of apogee on 15 July 2051 at 16:49 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 28 July 2051 at 00:46 in ♈ Aries.

7 days after its ascending node on 16 July 2051 at 09:35 in ♎ Libra, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 29 July 2051 at 18:33 in ♈ Aries.

2 days after previous South standstill on 20 July 2051 at 20:52 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-19.133°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠19.057° in the next northern standstill on 2 August 2051 at 19:38 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
