Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 6 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 3 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠357°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠12.4°. 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°).
Moon is reaching point of perigee on this date at 06:38, this is 14 days after last apogee on 26 February 2059 at 13:16 in ♌ Leo.

4 days after previous South standstill on 8 March 2059 at 23:34 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-26.323°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠26.421° in the next northern standstill on 21 March 2059 at 15:46 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
