Next Full Moon is the Harvest Moon of September 2058 after 1 day on 2 September 2058 at 16:51.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- Full Moon in Pisces ♓ on 2 September 2058 at 16:51
- Last Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 9 September 2058 at 18:07
- New Moon in Virgo ♍ on 17 September 2058 at 22:17

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 725 / 1678
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 725 of Meeus index or 1678 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.63 days
Length of current 725 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 14 minutes. It is 27 minutes longer than next lunation 726 length.
Lunation length longer than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 30 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 33 minutes shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠196°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠196°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠223°. 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 in perigee
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 14:39, this is 15 days after last apogee on 17 August 2058 at 13:13 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 12 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 13 September 2058 at 22:43 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 358 916 km
This perigee Moon is 358 916 km (223 020 mi) away from Earth. It is 3 592 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 11 440 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 27 August 2058 at 14:29 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 7 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 9 September 2058 at 03:37 in ♊ Gemini.
Draconic month
19 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
2 days after previous South standstill on 29 August 2058 at 15:55 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.493°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.586° in the next northern standstill on 11 September 2058 at 14:56 in ♋ Cancer.
Syzygy in 1 day
After 1 day on 2 September 2058 at 16:51 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
