Upcoming main Moon phases
- Last Quarter in Sagittarius ♐ on 10 March 2064 at 00:33
- New Moon in Pisces ♓ on 18 March 2064 at 01:45
- First Quarter in Cancer ♋ on 26 March 2064 at 01:13

Spring tide
There is high Full Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
Lunation 793 / 1746
The Moon is 15 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 793 of Meeus index or 1746 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.78 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 18 hours and 42 minutes. This is the year's longest synodic month of 2064. It is 1 hour and 25 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 5 hours and 58 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 1 hour and 5 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠156.8°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠156.8°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠181.6°.
Moon at perigee
Moon is at perigee at 17:31. It is 12 days after previous apogee on 19 February 2064 at 18:41 in ♓ Pisces. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next apogee on 17 March 2064 at 21:10 in ♓ Pisces.
Distance to Moon 356 969 km
This perigee Moon is 356 969 km (221 810 mi) away from Earth. It is 5 539 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 13 387 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon after descending node
1 day after descending node on 2 March 2064 at 02:40 in ♌ Leo. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 15 March 2064 at 05:39 in ♒ Aquarius.
Draconic month
15 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after northern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 26 February 2064 at 20:13 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠27.859°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 6 days to face maximum declination of ∠-27.823° at the point of next southern standstill on 10 March 2064 at 08:07 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy
The Moon is in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
