Length of current synodic month is 5 hours and 28 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 1 hour and 35 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠163.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠187.8°. 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°).
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 22:41, this is 13 days after last apogee on 6 October 2051 at 15:34 in ♎ Libra.

8 days after previous South standstill on 10 October 2051 at 22:36 in ♐ Sagittarius, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.669°. Next 4 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.671° in the next northern standstill on 23 October 2051 at 15:33 in ♊ Gemini.
The Moon is in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
