Moon is passing first ∠3° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.

Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2052 after 15 days on 9 September 2052 at 00:15.
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 11:07 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 651 of Meeus index or 1604 from Brown series.
29 days, 12 hours and 26 minutes is the length of new lunation 651. It is 3 hours and 5 minutes shorter than next lunation 652 length.
Length of current synodic month is 18 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 5 hours and 51 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠69.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠104.4°. 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°).
5 days after point of perigee on 19 August 2052 at 04:12 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 1 September 2052 at 00:01 in ♐ Sagittarius.

The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
