Moon phase and lunation details
6 days after First Quarter
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 6 days on 8 September 2054 at 21:46.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon in ♓ Pisces
Moon is passing about ∠6° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1768"
Lunar disc appears visually 7.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1908".
Harvest Moon after 1 day
Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2054 after 1 day on 17 September 2054 at 01:41.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Pisces ♓ on 17 September 2054 at 01:41
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 24 September 2054 at 18:26
- New Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 October 2054 at 09:49

Moderate tide
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.
Lunation 676 / 1629
The Moon is 13 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 676 of Meeus index or 1629 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.35 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 8 hours and 31 minutes. It is 1 hour and 41 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length shorter than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 13 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 56 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠7.4°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠7.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠23.7°.
Moon after apogee
1 day after point of apogee on 14 September 2054 at 13:46 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 14 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 29 September 2054 at 23:51 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 405 326 km
The Moon is 405 326 km (251 858 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 14 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 360 310 km (223 886 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 14 September 2054 at 21:07 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 28 September 2054 at 16:44 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
14 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♌ Leo, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days since the previous standstill on 10 September 2054 at 15:24 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-19.139°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠19.216° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 September 2054 at 05:02 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
In 1 day on 17 September 2054 at 01:41 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
